Solution Overview

Problem

Existing authentication methods require users to input password, biometric, or knowledge authentication information, which is burdensome and time-consuming.

Innovation Solution

An authentication system that uses a first terminal to transmit identification information to an authentication subsystem, which then prompts a second terminal to perform a push authentication operation without requiring input of knowledge or biometric information, using a push ID and token ID for secure authentication.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional authentication methods (password, biometric, knowledge authentication) are used, then authentication security is maintained, but user burden increases and authentication time is extended

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthentication securityVSAvoiduser burden

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts the authentication confirmation step from the first terminal and relocates it to the second terminal. The first terminal only needs to input identification information, while the second terminal displays a push notification for user confirmation. This separation removes the burden of complex authentication input from the user while maintaining security through the push notification mechanism.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a push notification as an intermediary between the authentication request and the authentication result. The push notification serves as a mediator that conveys the authentication request to the user through the second terminal, allowing the user to confirm authentication without directly interacting with the first terminal's authentication interface.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional authentication methods (password, biometric, knowledge authentication) are used, then authentication security is maintained, but authentication time is extended

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthentication securityVSAvoidauthentication time

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-registering the association between identification information and the second terminal's unique ID in the authentication subsystem. When authentication is requested, the system can immediately retrieve the corresponding second terminal and send the push notification without requiring time-consuming biometric scanning or password verification during the authentication moment itself.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces mechanical authentication actions (typing passwords, fingerprint scanning, voice input) with an automated electronic push notification system. The authentication subsystem automatically retrieves the second terminal information and sends the push notification electronically, eliminating the need for manual authentication operations and significantly reducing authentication time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If push authentication with multiple terminals is implemented, then user burden is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveuser burdenVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication subsystem is designed with multi-functionality to handle both traditional authentication and push authentication. It can store and retrieve associations between identification information and unique IDs, generate push notifications, and process authentication results from multiple terminals. This universal design allows the system to manage the complexity internally while presenting a simple interface to users.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

An authentication system includes: a first terminal; a second terminal; and an authentication subsystem, wherein the first terminal transmits first identification information and a first request for push authentication to the authentication subsystem, the authentication subsystem matches the first identification information against second identification information stored in association with a unique ID of the second terminal, and if the second identification information matching the first identification information exists, transmits a push authentication operation start request to the second terminal based on the stored unique ID of the second terminal, and upon receiving the push authentication operation start request, the second terminal prompts a user to perform a predetermined operation other than inputting any of knowledge authentication information, ownership authentication information, and biometric authentication information, and when the predetermined operation is performed by the user, transmits a push authentication operation completion notification to the authentication subsystem.
