QR Code Authorization for Third-Party Network Platforms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing authorization methods require users to create and input multiple accounts and passwords for different network application platforms, leading to redundancy and increased security risks due to phishing vulnerabilities.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing two-dimensional codes for authorization, where a first network application platform generates and presents a two-dimensional code to a client device, which is scanned to authorize access to a third-party network application platform, eliminating the need for manual account and password input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually input account and password for each network application platform, then authorization can be completed, but the process becomes redundant and cumbersome
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses two-dimensional codes as a visual copy of authorization information. Instead of manually typing account credentials, users scan a two-dimensional code that contains encoded authorization data, replacing manual input with optical recognition and significantly reducing operation time
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a two-dimensional code as an intermediary between the user and the authorization system. The code serves as a mediator that carries authorization information visually, allowing users to authenticate by scanning rather than by manual credential entry, thus simplifying the authorization process
2Reliability
If users manually input account and password, then authorization can be completed, but security risks increase due to phishing vulnerabilities
Solution Approach 1:
By using two-dimensional codes that visually represent authorization information, the system eliminates the need for users to type passwords, thereby preventing phishing attacks that rely on capturing manually entered credentials. The visual copy replaces the vulnerable text input process
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical action of manual keyboard input with an optical scanning process. Users point a camera or scanner at a two-dimensional code rather than typing credentials, substituting a vulnerable manual input mechanism with a more secure automated optical recognition system
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple accounts are created for different network application platforms, then access to various services is enabled, but redundancy and management complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal two-dimensional code system that can be used across multiple network application platforms. A single scanned code can provide authorization for accessing various services and platforms, eliminating the need to create and manage separate accounts for each service while maintaining broad adaptability

AI summary
The present invention discloses an authorization method, apparatus, and system, and belongs to the field of communication technologies. The method includes: receiving information for accessing a third-party network application platform; generating a two- dimensional code corresponding to the third-party network application platform, and presenting the two-dimensional code in the third-party network application platform; and receiving information of the scanned two-dimensional code, and authorizing, according to the information of the scanned two-dimensional code, the third-party network application platform. The apparatus includes: a receiving module, a processing module, and an authorization module. The system includes: a first network application platform. In the present invention, after the information for accessing the third-party network application platform is received, authorization is performed on a third-party web site by generating a two-dimensional code corresponding to the third-party web site and according to information of the scanned two-dimensional code. The third-party web site can be authorized by only scanning the corresponding two-dimensional code, which is easy to operate and reduces operation time. A user does not need to input an account and a password, which improves the security.
