Solution Overview

Problem

The security of user personal information is compromised when using third-party service platforms, as user accounts are shared across multiple platforms, increasing the risk of information leakage.

Innovation Solution

A method and system for generating a combined user account by combining a user's identification number (UIN) with a third-party service platform's UIN, allowing secure login onto selected third-party platforms without exposing the user's original account information, using encryption or superimposition techniques.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If user logs onto third-party service platforms using original user account, then login convenience is improved, but user personal information security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogin convenienceVSAvoiduser personal information security
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the original user account into multiple isolated sub-accounts, each dedicated to a specific third-party service platform. Each sub-account contains only the information needed for that platform, preventing cross-platform information exposure while maintaining login convenience through automated account selection based on the target platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary account management system that acts as a mediator between the user and third-party platforms. This system generates and manages multiple isolated sub-accounts, automatically selects the appropriate sub-account based on the target platform, and transmits only necessary information, thereby protecting user privacy while enabling seamless login.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If user account information is shared across multiple third-party platforms, then service accessibility is improved, but information leakage risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice accessibilityVSAvoidinformation leakage risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the user account information into multiple isolated segments, with each segment (sub-account) containing only the data required for a specific third-party platform. This segmentation enables broad service accessibility across multiple platforms while preventing information leakage by ensuring that each platform receives only its designated subset of information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by customizing each sub-account with platform-specific information requirements. Each third-party platform receives a sub-account tailored to its specific needs, containing only the necessary information for that platform's services, thereby achieving optimal adaptability while minimizing exposure risk for each local interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

A third-party service platform login method is provided for a public platform containing information of a plurality of third-party service platforms. The method includes accepting a user logging onto the public platform from a client terminal, obtaining a third-party service platform selected by the user on the public platform, and obtaining a user identification number (UIN) of the user and a UIN of the selected third-party service platform. The user's UIN corresponds to a user account of the user on the public platform and the selected third-party service platform's UIN corresponds to a public account of the third-party service platform on the public platform. Further, the method includes combining the UIN of the user and the UIN of the selected third-party service platform to generate a new combined user account for the user to log onto the selected third-party service platform, and logging onto the selected third-party service platform.
