Co-Branded Product Access via Third-Party Session Validation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing computer systems do not enable access by non-customers to co-branded products or services provided jointly by a company and a third party organization, limiting the ability to provide a unified online experience.
Innovation Solution
A computing platform and method that allows non-customers to access co-branded products by validating registration information through a record associating the user with the product, initiating a new user session with a session identifier, and providing access to the co-branded product.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the system is configured to provide access only to customers, then system security and simplicity are maintained, but the ability to provide co-branded products to third party customers is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a third party organization as an intermediary that has already registered with the system. This intermediary acts as a mediator between the first entity's system and the third party customers, allowing access without requiring individual customer registration with the system. The intermediary's pre-existing registration serves as the gateway for third party customers to access co-branded products.
2Ease of operation
If the system requires prior registration with the first entity, then access control is simplified, but third party customers cannot access co-branded products
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by having the third party organization register with the system in advance. This pre-registration establishes the intermediary's credentials and access rights before actual customer interaction occurs. As a result, when third party customers attempt to access co-branded products, the system can quickly validate their access through the pre-established intermediary record without requiring individual customer registration.
3Ease of operation
If the system provides access to all users, then ease of access is improved, but security and access control mechanisms are weakened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent maintains security by using the third party organization as a verified intermediary. The system does not grant universal access to all users, but rather restricts access to those who can demonstrate affiliation with the pre-registered intermediary. This intermediary validation mechanism ensures that only authorized third party customers can access co-branded products, maintaining access control reliability while simplifying the customer experience.

AI summary
Computing platforms, methods, and storage media for providing third party access to a co-branded product in a system are disclosed. In an example, a system may receive, at a system of a first entity, registration information of a user registered with a second entity. The system may comprise a record associating the user with a co-branded product jointly provided by the first entity and the second entity. The system may validate, using at least one hardware processor, the registration information at the system based on the record. The system may initiate, using the at least one processor, in response to a successful validation of the registration information, a new user session having a co-branded product session identifier where the new user session provides access to the user to the co-branded product in the system.
