Cookie Information Sharing Across Browsers via Intermediary Server
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for managing website login information, such as cookies, are limited in that they require the same browser to be used for automatic login, preventing seamless access across different browsers without re-inputting credentials.
Innovation Solution
A cookie information sharing method and system that allows cookie information from a parent browser to be read and imported into a child browser, enabling synchronization and sharing of cookie data, thus facilitating automatic login across various browsers without manual input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If cookie information is stored in browser local directory, then automatic login can be achieved, but cookie cannot be shared between different browsers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a cookie sharing server as an intermediary between browsers. The server stores cookie information and enables different browsers to access shared cookies through HTTP requests. This mediator resolves the contradiction by allowing automatic login (reliability) to work across multiple browsers (adaptability) without requiring each browser to independently store and manage cookies.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all cookie information is shared between browsers, then complete login information is available, but system resource occupancy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and shares only specific cookie information that is necessary for login functionality, rather than sharing all cookie data. The system allows selective sharing of cookie subsets, enabling browsers to obtain only the relevant login cookies needed for automatic authentication, thereby reducing unnecessary data transfer and storage while maintaining complete login capability.
3Ease of operation
If cookie information is read and imported between browsers, then login information can be reused, but data transfer and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having browsers proactively obtain and cache cookie information from the cookie sharing server before actual login operations are needed. When a browser starts or before accessing a website, it can pre-fetch necessary cookies, so that when login is required, the cookies are already available locally, minimizing real-time data transfer and processing delays.

AI summary
This invention discloses a cookie information sharing method that comprises the following steps: reading cookie information in a parent browser, said parent browser being a browser which stores the cookie information; importing the cookie information read from the parent browser into a child browser, said child browser being a browser which needs to acquiring the cookie information from the parent browser. This application also provides a cookie information sharing system for realizing the proceeding method. The cookie information sharing method and system of this application are able to reduce occupancy of system resources by user's information records, and also to realize sharing of the user's information records.
