Game Security Level Verification for In-Game Goods Protection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing security systems fail to effectively prevent the theft of in-game goods when a user's account is hacked, leading to significant inconvenience and potential loss for gamers.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for providing a game based on the security level of a terminal, which involves checking the security level of a user's terminal when accessing a game and determining whether to allow the disposal of in-game goods accordingly, while ensuring the game can be played regardless of the security level.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If strict security checks are performed to prevent hacking, then security level is improved, but user convenience deteriorates because users cannot access their accounts even when legitimate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different security verification levels to different operations within the game system. Login operations use basic verification for convenience, while sensitive operations like item disposal require higher security verification. This local differentiation of security quality allows legitimate users to access their accounts easily while preventing hackers from performing harmful actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts security verification requirements based on the operation being performed and the detected security level of the terminal. When a low security level is detected, the system automatically enables additional verification steps for sensitive operations. This dynamic adjustment maintains user convenience for normal operations while providing enhanced security when needed.
2Ease of operation
If security verification is relaxed to allow easy access, then user convenience is improved, but security level deteriorates making accounts vulnerable to hacking
Solution Approach 1:
Different security verification levels are applied to different operations. Basic login operations use minimal verification for convenience, while sensitive operations like item disposal require enhanced verification including device fingerprinting and security codes. This local quality differentiation ensures convenience where needed and security where critical.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediary verification mechanisms (such as security codes and device fingerprinting) that act as mediators between the user and the system for sensitive operations. These intermediaries provide an additional layer of security without completely blocking access, allowing legitimate users to verify their identity while preventing unauthorized access.
3Reliability
If comprehensive security verification is implemented for all operations, then security level is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The security verification system is segmented into multiple independent modules: device fingerprinting module, security code generation module, verification judgment module, and operation control module. Each module performs a specific function, making the overall complex security system manageable and maintainable while providing comprehensive security coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements security verification selectively rather than universally. Enhanced verification including device fingerprinting and security codes is applied only to sensitive operations like item disposal, while basic operations use simpler verification. This partial application of excessive security measures provides adequate protection without unnecessary complexity for all operations.
4Object-affected harmful factors
If security restrictions are imposed on terminal operations, then theft prevention is improved, but gameplay experience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically controls operation permissions based on the detected security level of the terminal. When high security level is detected, full gameplay functionality is available. When low security level is detected, sensitive operations like item disposal are restricted while basic gameplay continues. This dynamic permission control prevents theft while maintaining acceptable gameplay experience.
Solution Approach 2:
Security restrictions are applied locally to specific operations rather than globally to all gameplay functions. Sensitive operations such as item disposal require enhanced verification and may be restricted, while basic gameplay operations remain fully accessible. This local application of restrictions prevents theft of valuable items while preserving the overall gameplay experience.

AI summary
Disclosed herein are a method of providing a game based on the security level of a terminal and an apparatus for performing the same. The method of providing a game based on the security level of a terminal includes: when a user accesses a game using a terminal, checking the security level of the terminal for the account of the user; and determining whether to allow the disposal of in-game goods according to the found security level, but providing the game so that the game can be played regardless of the found security level.
