Context-Based Authentication for Mobile Content Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing systems lack effective mechanisms for authenticating and managing content access requests from mobile terminals based on location, template compatibility, and time zone, leading to insecure and inefficient group formation and content editing processes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and system that includes a request acceptance portion, location identification, template identification, and authentication portion to allow or deny content access requests from mobile terminals based on their location, identified template, and time zone, enabling secure and real-time group formation and content editing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional authentication methods (passwords or IDs) are used for content access, then system security is maintained, but user convenience and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication systems (passwords and IDs) with a context-based authentication system that uses location information, template identification, and time zone data. The authentication portion automatically determines access rights by comparing these contextual parameters against stored reference data, eliminating the need for users to manually input credentials while maintaining security through multi-factor contextual verification.
2Ease of operation
If context-based authentication (location, template, time zone) is implemented, then user convenience is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the authentication process into distinct functional modules: a location identification portion that obtains geographic location data, a template identification portion that determines template type, and an authentication portion that compares these parameters against stored reference information. This modular segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function independently, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable while providing comprehensive contextual authentication.
3Reliability
If multiple authentication parameters (location, template, time zone) are verified, then access security is enhanced, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent stores reference location information, template identification data, and time zone parameters in advance within the system's storage portion. When authentication is required, the system retrieves and compares these pre-stored reference values against the current contextual parameters obtained from the terminal device. This preliminary preparation of reference data eliminates the need for complex real-time calculations during authentication, reducing processing time while maintaining multi-factor security verification.

AI summary
There is provided an information processing device having: a request acceptance portion that accepts a content access request from a mobile terminal; a location identification portion that identifies a location where the mobile terminal exists; a template identification portion that identifies a template configured to be accessed by the mobile terminal; and an authentication portion that decides whether to allow the accepted content access request based on the identified location, the identified template, and a time zone in which the access request from the mobile terminal is accepted.
