Electronic Device IoT Registration With GUI-Based Final Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing IoT device registration methods face challenges in efficient signal processing, time consumption, and security issues, particularly in wireless connections, leading to difficulties in user control and potential account leakage.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a communication interface, display, and processor that facilitates temporary registration of IoT devices to a server, followed by a graphical user interface (GUI) for final user authentication, ensuring secure and efficient user access authority verification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If temporary registration information is obtained and final authentication is performed through GUI, then user access authority is securely verified, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically obtaining temporary registration information from the server before the final authentication step. This preliminary data gathering reduces the time needed during the actual authentication process, as the framework and credentials are already prepared and verified in advance.
2Ease of operation
If wireless signal connection is used for device registration, then ease of connection is improved, but security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication mechanism where temporary registration information acts as a mediator between the wireless connection and final account access. This intermediary layer verifies user authority before granting full access, preventing direct account leakage while maintaining the convenience of wireless connections.
3Productivity
If automatic device registration is implemented, then productivity is improved, but security control is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication process is segmented into distinct phases: automatic temporary registration (high productivity) and manual final authentication (high security control). This segmentation allows the system to achieve both fast device onboarding through automation and robust security control through the final verification step.

AI summary
An electronic device and a control method therefor. The electronic device includes a communication interface, a display, a user interface, a memory, and at least one processor. The at least one processor: obtains, based on a signal received via a communication interface, provisional registration information about a first external apparatus provisionally registered to a server; controls the display to output a GUI for the final authentication of a user access right to the first external apparatus; based on a user input through the output GUI, performs the final authentication of the user access right to the first external apparatus; and transmits final authentication information about the first external apparatus and user account information corresponding to the user access right to the server. The provisional registration information is identified by a second external apparatus based on the signal received, and is transmitted to the server by the second external apparatus.
