Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for authenticating online read rights of digital content face performance drawbacks due to frequent communication between reading and authorization systems, and lack convenience as independent reading tools, while also increasing costs for third-party access.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that generate a right model based on user information, including multiple function rights, and corresponding certificate information, which is then authenticated and transmitted to an online reading module to provide authorized digital content access, reducing frequent signal interactions and enhancing management convenience.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If interface control implementation is used to separate reading function from digital contents and right management, then reading function can be provided independently to general users, but frequent communication with authority is required resulting in performance drawbacks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveindependence of reading toolVSAvoidsystem performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating right models and certificate information before the actual reading operation. The service processing system obtains user information, generates the right model with M function rights, and obtains certificate information in advance, so that the online reading system can directly authenticate these pre-prepared credentials without frequent real-time communication with the authority, thus maintaining independence while improving performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism by using pre-generated right models and certificate information as mediators between the user and the authority. Instead of direct frequent communication between the online reading system and the authority, the pre-generated credentials serve as intermediaries that enable authentication without continuous real-time interaction, resolving the contradiction between independence and performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If interface control implementation is used to separate reading function from digital contents and right management, then third party can access digital contents online, but corresponding interface has to be developed resulting in increased cost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccessibility to third partyVSAvoiddevelopment cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a standardized right model structure with M function rights that can serve multiple purposes and different third-party scenarios. The same right model framework and certificate information structure can be universally applied across different online reading applications and third-party integrations, eliminating the need to develop custom interfaces for each third party while maintaining adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If autonomous control implementation is used where single service system manages digital contents and performs reading function, then right control can be maintained, but reading function is not separated from other service functions thus cannot provide service to general users as independent reading tool

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveright controlVSAvoidindependence of reading tool
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the taking out principle by extracting the authentication function from the integrated service system. The online reading system separates the authentication process (authenticating certificate information and right models) from the other service functions, allowing the reading function to be provided independently to general users while the service processing system maintains reliable right control through the extracted authentication mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method of authenticating an online read right of a digital content includes: receiving an online read first request from a terminal, the first request including first user information, obtaining first right information corresponding to the first user information, generating a first right model, obtaining first certificate information corresponding to the first right model, generating a second request including the first right model and the first certificate information, and authenticating the first certificate information and M function rights in the first right model.
