Instant Messaging Login via Network-Aware Server Mediation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing account login methods for instant messaging on terminals are complex and time-consuming, requiring manual password input or scanning of two-dimensional codes, which hinders rapid login and increases login failure rates.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves a backend server receiving a login request from a first terminal, obtaining instant messaging accounts connected to the same network, and sending a login authorization request to a second terminal corresponding to the target account, allowing for rapid login by transmitting login information once authorization is received.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual password input or two-dimensional code scanning is used for login, then security is improved, but login complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary to manage the login process. The server obtains the terminal's network identifier, queries associated instant messaging accounts, and sends authorization requests to other terminals. This intermediary mechanism automates the login process while maintaining security through server-mediated verification, resolving the contradiction between security and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-obtaining and storing the correspondence between network identifiers and instant messaging accounts on the server before login is needed. When a login request occurs, the server already has the necessary account information ready, enabling rapid authorization without requiring manual input or scanning at the moment of login, thus reducing complexity while maintaining security.
2Reliability
If manual password input or two-dimensional code scanning is used for login, then authentication reliability is improved, but login time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary queries to obtain instant messaging accounts associated with the terminal's network identifier before the actual login process. This pre-retrieval of account information eliminates time-consuming manual operations during login, while the server-mediated authorization process maintains authentication reliability through verified account validation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service login by automatically matching the terminal's network identifier with pre-stored instant messaging account information on the server. The server autonomously completes the account retrieval and authorization request processes without requiring user intervention for password input or code scanning, significantly reducing login time while maintaining security through automated verification.
3Productivity
If automated network-based login is implemented, then login speed is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the server as an intermediary to manage the complex automated login process. The server handles network identifier querying, account retrieval, and authorization request distribution, centralizing the complexity in the backend infrastructure rather than requiring complex client-side implementations. This allows fast automated login on terminals while containing system complexity in the server architecture.
Data Source
AI summary
An account login method and apparatus and a storage medium are provided. The method includes receiving, from a first terminal, a login request including an identifier of a target network to which the first terminal is connected. One or more instant messaging accounts logged into by using the target network are obtained, and a target instant messaging account is selected from the one or more instant messaging accounts. A login authorization request is pushed to a second terminal on the target network, the second terminal corresponding to the target instant messaging account that is selected. In response to receiving a login authorization instruction from the second terminal, login information including the target instant messaging account is transmitted to the first terminal.
