Image Data Processing Server with OAuth 2.0 Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image data processing systems lack an efficient and user-friendly method for authenticating users, issuing permissions for cloud services, receiving and processing image data, and transmitting data to appropriate cloud services, especially in scenarios where imaging devices do not have a user interface for character input or item selection.
Innovation Solution
An image data processing server that authenticates users, issues access permissions to cloud services, receives image data from imaging devices, determines data types, performs OCR, and transmits data to specified cloud services based on user requests, using access tokens and OAuth 2.0 authentication, allowing seamless integration with various cloud services through a network-connected system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If imaging devices without user interfaces are used for character input or item selection, then device portability and simplicity are improved, but user authentication and service permission management become complex and difficult to implement
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an image data processing server as an intermediary between the imaging device and cloud services. The server handles OAuth 2.0 authentication, access token management, and service permission issuance, allowing the imaging device to remain simple while complex authentication functions are performed by the server through received image data and transmitted responses.
2Reliability
If manual user authentication and permission issuance are implemented, then security is improved, but user intervention and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated OAuth 2.0 authentication where the image data processing server automatically issues access tokens and manages service permissions without requiring manual user intervention. The server autonomously handles authentication requests from imaging devices, manages cloud service provider communications, and automatically grants or revokes permissions based on received image data, thereby maintaining security while eliminating time-consuming manual operations.
3Adaptability or versatility
If image data is automatically transmitted to multiple cloud services, then service functionality is improved, but data transmission complexity and network resource usage increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal image data processing server that can interface with multiple cloud service providers through a standardized OAuth 2.0 framework. The server maintains a plurality of cloud service provider accounts and can automatically manage permissions across different services using the same authentication mechanism, allowing diverse cloud service integration while maintaining simple, consistent transmission protocols.
4Adaptability or versatility
If access tokens are stored and managed for multiple cloud services, then service access flexibility is improved, but security risks and management overhead increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the image data processing server continuously monitors and manages access tokens for multiple cloud services. The server receives image data, determines appropriate cloud services based on the data, and dynamically adjusts permission levels by issuing or revoking access tokens as needed. This feedback loop allows flexible service access while maintaining security through active token management and the ability to revoke permissions when no longer needed.

AI summary
Provided is an image data processing server including: a user authenticating unit that authenticates a user of an imaging device; a permission issuing unit that issues, to a predetermined service, access permission to an account of the user in the image data processing server; an image receiving unit that receives image data transmitted from the imaging device; a request receiving unit that receives a request for data from the predetermined service; and a data transmitting unit that transmits, when the image data received from the imaging device exists, data related to the image data to an account of the user of the predetermined service.
