Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for assisting user input on mobile terminal browsers, such as using Cookies, are inefficient due to filtering by intermediate devices and compatibility issues across different websites, leading to frequent and tedious login processes.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that store login authentication information on the mobile terminal, allowing it to be loaded and encapsulated into a login request for various websites, eliminating the need for Cookies and enabling login across multiple websites with a single set of credentials.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If Cookie is used to store and transmit user login information, then user input frequency is reduced, but authentication fails due to filtering by intermediate devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser input frequencyVSAvoidauthentication success rate
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the login information storage function from the Cookie mechanism and implements it directly in the mobile terminal's local storage. Instead of relying on Cookie transmission through intermediate devices, the login information is stored locally on the user device and automatically submitted with requests, eliminating the transmission vulnerability while maintaining automated login functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a local storage mechanism as an intermediary between the user and the server, replacing the Cookie-based transmission approach. This intermediary stores login information locally on the mobile terminal and automatically includes it in subsequent requests, bypassing the need for Cookie transmission through potentially filtering intermediate devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If Cookie is used for login assistance, then login process is simplified, but compatibility issues arise across different websites

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelogin process simplicityVSAvoidwebsite compatibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal login information storage mechanism in the mobile terminal that can store multiple sets of login credentials. This universal storage system adapts to different websites by storing website-specific login information with associated identifiers, allowing the same technical approach to work across multiple different websites without compatibility issues.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by storing website-specific login information with its associated website identifier in the local storage. Each login credential set is tagged with the corresponding website identification, allowing the system to automatically select and submit the appropriate login information for each specific website while maintaining a unified storage mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If manual login entry is required for each website, then authentication security is maintained, but user operation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication securityVSAvoiduser operation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by storing login information in advance in the mobile terminal's local storage during the initial login process. When the user visits the same website again, the pre-stored login information is automatically retrieved and submitted, eliminating the need for manual re-entry while maintaining security through server-side validation. This preliminary storage action significantly reduces user operation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables self-service by implementing an automated login information submission mechanism. The mobile terminal automatically retrieves pre-stored login credentials and submits them with requests without requiring manual user intervention. The system serves itself by managing the login process autonomously, reducing user operation time while the server maintains authentication security through verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for assisting user input based on the mobile terminal browser, including: storing login authentication information entered by a user when the user logs in a website for a first time from a mobile terminal; after determining that a current page in the mobile terminal browser is a login page and the user logs in after the first time, loading the stored authentication login information to the current login page; receiving the login authentication trigger information; encapsulating the loaded login authentication information of the current login page; and generating a login request for login authentication by a website corresponding to the current login page. By using the disclosed method and apparatus, the number of times the user is required to enter the username and password can be reduced, and the amount of time for the user to access Internet websites can be reduced.
