Quick Login Keyboard for Mobile Credential Auto-Fill
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in securely and efficiently accessing websites and native apps on mobile devices with limited virtual keyboards, due to complex password authentication processes, leading to frustration and potential service cancellation.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method is provided that facilitates a quick login on mobile devices with a space-wise limited virtual keyboard by detecting server responses, activating an application to fast fill login forms, and displaying a quick login keyboard with fill buttons for credential data, allowing users to populate login forms with a tap and switch to preferred keyboards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users enter passwords using multiple key tap entry on mobile devices, then authentication security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically detecting login forms and pre-filling credential data before the user needs to manually enter it. The application monitors for login forms and has credential data ready to be inserted with a single tap, eliminating the need for users to type complex passwords manually.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary application that acts as a mediator between the user and the login form. This application captures credential data, stores it securely, and automatically inserts it into login forms, serving as an intermediary that simplifies the authentication process while maintaining security.
2Reliability
If service providers establish more rigorous password and authentication processes, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements self-service by enabling automatic detection of login forms and self-population of credential data without requiring user intervention. The application monitors for login forms, retrieves stored credentials, and automatically fills them in, making the system serve itself rather than requiring complex manual authentication processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual keyboard entry with an automated electronic system. Instead of requiring physical or virtual keyboard interaction, the system uses automatic form detection and programmatic data insertion to populate login fields, substituting manual mechanical input with automated electronic processes.
3Reliability
If users manually enter credential data on space restricted virtual keyboards, then authentication security is maintained, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-capturing and storing credential data during initial account setup. When a login form is detected, the application retrieves the pre-stored credentials and automatically inserts them, eliminating the time-consuming process of manual entry while maintaining security through secure storage mechanisms.
Solution Approach 2:
The intermediary application serves as a time-saving mediator by automatically transferring credential data from secure storage to the login form. This intermediary process eliminates the time loss associated with manual keyboard entry while maintaining authentication security through the secure capture and insertion mechanism.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method is provided for facilitating a quick login using a mobile computing device having a space-wise limited virtual keyboard. The method includes detecting a response from a server of a website or from an application native to the computing device that includes a login form displayed on a screen of the mobile computing device for authenticating a user, activating an application on the mobile computing device configured to auto fill the login form, and displaying a quick login keyboard, which includes a plurality of boxes configured to hold credential data of the user, wherein the quick login keyboard further includes a plurality of fill buttons, each of which is associated with one of the credential data boxes. The method further includes detecting a tapping on one of the plurality of fill buttons, and populating the login form with the credential data associated with the tapped fill button.
