Solution Overview

Problem

In medical software applications used in healthcare environments without network connectivity, setting up user accounts and managing licenses is cumbersome, requiring privileged user intervention, which complicates workflows and license control.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a registration code containing license key and user credential information, allowing users to create their own accounts by entering the code and credentials into the software application, which processes and verifies the information to establish a valid user account without administrator intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If user accounts are created through traditional methods requiring privileged user intervention, then license control and security are maintained, but workflow efficiency deteriorates and setup becomes cumbersome

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveworkflow efficiencyVSAvoidaccount setup ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service account creation where users can register themselves by entering a registration code and basic information without requiring privileged user intervention. The system automatically processes the registration, creates the user account, and configures appropriate permissions, thereby eliminating the need for administrator involvement in routine account setup while maintaining security through the registration code verification mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If user accounts are created without network connectivity, then offline operation is enabled, but license verification and account management become problematic

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoffline operation capabilityVSAvoidlicense control reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by providing users with a registration code before offline operation begins. This registration code contains encoded license verification information that allows the system to verify licenses and create user accounts offline without requiring real-time network connectivity. The registration code is obtained in advance through network connection, enabling subsequent offline operations while maintaining license control reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If traditional license management methods are used, then centralized control is maintained, but user account creation becomes complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount creation simplicityVSAvoidaccount setup time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the essential license verification information from the centralized license management system and embeds it within a registration code that can be distributed to users. This allows users to create accounts independently by entering the registration code, which the system then verifies against the embedded license information. This extraction approach maintains centralized license control while dramatically simplifying the account creation process and eliminating time-consuming administrator intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

A method for registering a user in a medical software application includes providing a registration code to a user, the registration code containing information relating to a license key and information relating to at least one user credential associated with the user; entering, by the user, the registration code and at least one user credential associated with the user into the software application; processing, by the software application, the registration code and the at least one user credential entered by the user; and creating a user account for the user in the software application based on the information relating to the at least one user credential associated with the user contained in the registration code. In this way a method is provided which allows for an easy management of user accounts and licenses within a medical software application.
