Coordination Support System Using Temporary Token for Login-Free Configuration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional systems require users to log in from another device to configure coordination settings when they log in without pre-configured settings, making the process inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
A coordination support system that accepts login information, determines if the coordination setting is configured, and if not, stores an authentication ticket with a temporary token, then transmits setting information including a URL to configure the setting to the user's communication address, allowing configuration without re-login.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the system requires users to log in from another device to configure coordination settings, then the coordination setting can be configured, but the operation process becomes complex and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a temporary token as an intermediary mechanism that bridges the authentication ticket and the coordination setting configuration. The temporary token is stored in association with the authentication ticket and sent to the user's communication address, allowing the user to configure settings without needing to log in from another device. This intermediary token simplifies the process while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication by issuing an authentication ticket before the user needs to configure coordination settings. The authentication ticket is stored in association with a temporary token, preparing the authentication state in advance. This preliminary action eliminates the need for re-login and streamlines the subsequent setting configuration process.
2Reliability
If the system requires additional login steps for configuring coordination settings, then security is maintained, but the time required for the process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs authentication in advance and stores the authentication ticket in association with a temporary token. This preliminary authentication action maintains security while eliminating the need for time-consuming re-login steps. The temporary token serves as a secure reference that validates the user's identity without requiring additional login procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a temporary token that copies or represents the authentication credentials in a simplified form. Instead of requiring the user to go through the full login process again, the system uses this token copy to verify identity and enable setting configuration, thus maintaining security while reducing time consumption.

AI summary
A coordination support system (1) includes an accepting unit (16A) for accepting login information including user identification information and coordination identification information of a coordination process to be executed from a device (10); a determining unit (16C) for determining whether coordination setting for execution of the coordination process identified by the coordination identification information is configured; a storage control unit (16E) for storing an authentication ticket and a temporary token in association with each other in a case where the determining unit (16C) determines that the coordination setting is not configured; and a transmitting unit (16A) for transmitting setting information including address information and the temporary token to a destination indicted by a communication address of a user identified by the user identification information. The address information indicates a storage location of a setting screen on which the coordination setting for the service providing apparatus is to be configured.
