Mobile Terminal Authentication via Invitation Messages
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional authentication procedures for mobile communication terminals are burdensome and inefficient, requiring manual intervention even when authentication information is already stored, which can deter users from accessing authentication-requiring services.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that automatically perform authentication procedures for mobile communication terminals by generating and processing invitation messages, extracting authentication information, and comparing it with stored information to authenticate the terminal, thereby enabling seamless access to authentication-requiring services without user intervention.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual authentication procedures are used, then security is maintained, but user convenience and operation ease deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically extracts authentication information from invitation messages and performs authentication without requiring user intervention. The mobile terminal autonomously completes the authentication process by comparing extracted information with stored authentication data, eliminating manual input while maintaining security verification.
Solution Approach 2:
Authentication information is pre-stored in the mobile terminal before the authentication process begins. When an invitation message is received, the system quickly compares the extracted authentication information with the pre-stored data, enabling rapid authentication without requiring users to manually input credentials during the authentication moment.
2Ease of operation
If automated authentication is implemented, then user convenience improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses invitation messages that contain copied authentication information from the original authentication process. Instead of implementing a completely new authentication mechanism, the system leverages existing authentication data structures and comparison logic, simply adapting them to work with invitation message formats.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication system is designed to handle multiple authentication scenarios using the same core comparison mechanism. The service server can authenticate users through both traditional methods and invitation message-based methods, making the system multi-functional without requiring separate complex authentication pathways.
3Reliability
If traditional authentication information generation is used, then security is ensured, but authentication time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Authentication information is generated and stored in advance during the invitation message creation process. When authentication is needed, the system simply retrieves and compares pre-generated authentication data rather than generating new credentials in real-time, significantly reducing authentication time while maintaining the same security verification standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The system copies authentication information from the original authentication process into the invitation message. This copied information is then quickly verified through string comparison rather than requiring re-generation or complex verification algorithms, reducing authentication duration while preserving security through accurate credential verification.

AI summary
An approach is provided for mobile communication terminal authentication. An invitation message is generated based on an invitation request received from a first mobile communication terminal, the invitation request including invitation information associated with a second mobile communication terminal. First authentication information associated with the invitation message is stored. The invitation message is transmitted to the second mobile communication terminal. An authentication request is received from the second mobile communication terminal, the invitation request including second authentication information extracted from the invitation message. The second mobile communication terminal is authenticated based on a comparison of the first authentication information and the second authentication information.
