Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional fast logon solutions on PC platforms are not applicable to the IOS operation platform, requiring users to re-enter account information when accessing third-party application service websites, leading to inconvenience and inefficiency.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that receive a URL request from an application service website, obtain local logon information, and return it to the website using predefined functions, enabling a fast logon web page for users without re-entering account details.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional fast logon solutions are used on PC platform, then user operation efficiency is improved, but the solution is not applicable to IOS operation platform

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser operation efficiencyVSAvoidplatform compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal fast logon mechanism that works across multiple platforms (PC and IOS) by using platform-independent technologies. The solution employs URL schemes and local storage mechanisms that can be implemented on any mobile operating system, making the fast logon functionality universally applicable rather than platform-specific.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism using URL requests and local storage as a mediator between the application service website and the user's account information. This intermediary layer allows the system to retrieve stored logon information without direct user input, enabling fast logon across different platforms through a common intermediary interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If users re-enter account information on IOS platform, then security is improved, but user convenience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiduser convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by storing account information locally on the user's device during the initial logon process. This pre-stored information is then retrieved automatically when the user visits the application service website, eliminating the need for re-entry while maintaining security through local storage permissions and controlled access mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service by automatically retrieving and using the stored account information without requiring user intervention. The local storage mechanism serves itself by automatically providing the necessary logon credentials when triggered by a URL request, improving convenience while maintaining security through the device's built-in security protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of time

If logon information is stored locally, then fast logon is achieved, but information security risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogon timeVSAvoidinformation security risk
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by storing logon information in a secure local storage area on the user's device with restricted access permissions. Different parts of the system have different levels of access to this stored information, with the fast logon mechanism having read-only access while other parts of the system have no access, thereby minimizing security risks while enabling fast retrieval.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts the potential harm of storing sensitive logon information locally into a benefit by using the device's built-in security features and permission systems. The local storage mechanism leverages the operating system's security protocols to protect the stored information, turning what could be a security vulnerability into a secure fast authentication mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method for realizing logon to an application service website on an operation platform, including when a user terminal visits the application service website, receiving a first URL request sent from the application service website; obtaining logon information of an account of the application service website from the local according to the first URL request; and returning the logon information of the account to the application service website by invoking a first predefined function containing the logon information of the account, so that the application service website provides a web page for the user terminal to fast log on. The present disclosure also provides an apparatus for realizing logon to an application service website on an operation platform and an operation service platform.
