Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for setting device control authority across different Internet of Things (IoT) systems face challenges in secure authentication and efficient control, particularly due to limitations in protocol interconnection and standardization, which affect the performance and stability of device control across IoT systems.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for setting device control authority involve obtaining and authenticating device authentication information between IoT devices from different systems, allowing for the transmission of device control information to set the control authority, enabling secure and efficient device control across IoT systems by establishing a connection and using authentication mechanisms like challenge/response.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If device control authority is set across different IoT systems using existing protocol interconnection methods, then device interconnection is enabled, but security and stability are compromised due to protocol limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a gateway device as an intermediary between different IoT systems. The gateway receives control requests from first IoT devices, authenticates them against a database storing authentication relationships between devices from different systems, and forwards validated requests to target devices. This mediator approach enables cross-system communication while maintaining security through centralized authentication management.
2Reliability
If traditional authentication methods are used across IoT systems, then device identity verification is performed, but authentication efficiency and reliability are reduced due to protocol incompatibility
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authentication relationship establishment between IoT devices from different systems. Before actual control operations, the system pre-authenticates device pairs and stores their authentication relationships in a database. When control requests are made, the gateway quickly verifies against pre-established relationships rather than performing full authentication protocols, significantly reducing authentication time while maintaining reliability.
