Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current token verification systems in distributed server architectures face challenges with token data synchronization and consistency, leading to potential security vulnerabilities and management issues due to reliance on personnel quality.
Innovation Solution
A gateway network system with distributed network connection management and a gateway management method that includes gateway management node devices, slave servers, and a database to synchronize and unify token data, manage token requests, and enforce limit values, while preventing security breaches through time and location adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If token verification is performed directly by servers in distributed architectures, then each server can independently verify tokens, but token data synchronization and consistency become problematic
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a gateway server as an intermediary component between user equipment and multiple application servers. The gateway server centralizes token verification functionality, receiving verification requests from multiple servers and maintaining a unified token database. This mediator architecture ensures that all servers access the same token data through the gateway, resolving the synchronization and consistency issues that arise when servers independently verify tokens without a centralized coordination mechanism.
2Ease of manufacture
If engineers write program code to update server content individually, then each server can be updated independently, but security and management issues increase due to reliance on personnel quality
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an automated content update mechanism where the gateway server receives content update requests and automatically distributes updates to multiple application servers through standardized interfaces. This self-service automation eliminates the need for engineers to manually write and execute update code on each server, reducing security risks associated with human error and unauthorized modifications while maintaining the flexibility to update individual servers as needed.
3Stability of the object's composition
If a centralized gateway server is introduced to manage token verification, then token data synchronization is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the gateway server into distinct functional modules: a token verification module that handles authentication requests, a content management module that handles content updates, and a database interface module that manages token data storage and retrieval. This segmentation allows each module to perform its specific function independently, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining centralized control over token verification and data consistency across multiple application servers.
Data Source
AI summary
A gateway network system with distributed network connection management and a gateway management method. The method includes a gateway management node device receiving a user's token request to convert a java script object notation (json) and logging an available limit value and a used limit value in a memory unit. The json, the available limit value and the used limit value are synchronized to a gateway management slave server and saved to a database. When the gateway management slave server receives an operation request, the method revises the used limit value and compares the used limit value with the available limit value. If the used limit value has not exceeded the available limit value, the used limit value is increased by one. If the used limit value has exceeded the available limit value, a stop operation message is returned to the gateway management node device and provided to the user.
