Registration Server Authentication Mediator for Device Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in efficiently registering user information and device identification information in a manner that associates them correctly across different servers, leading to complexities in user authentication and device management.
Innovation Solution
A communication system comprising a registration server, an information management server, and a target device, where the registration server receives destination information, transmits authentication and screen-related information, and registers user information, while the information management server receives authentication and device identification information to associate them properly.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user information and device identification information are registered separately in different servers, then data security and system modularity are improved, but the complexity of associating and managing information across servers increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication server as an intermediary component that mediates between the registration server and information management server. The authentication server receives authentication information from the registration server, verifies it, and then transmits the verified information to the information management server. This intermediary structure maintains system modularity while simplifying the association process by centralizing authentication logic in a dedicated component.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple servers are involved in the registration process, then system functionality and security are improved, but the registration process time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having the authentication server pre-verify authentication information before it is transmitted to the information management server. The authentication server performs validation checks on user credentials, device identifiers, and association requests in advance, so that when information is passed to the information management server, it is already verified and ready for storage. This preliminary verification step prevents subsequent validation delays and reduces overall registration time.
3Reliability
If authentication information is transmitted through multiple servers, then security verification is improved, but communication overhead and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple authentication verification steps into a single centralized authentication server. Instead of having the registration server and information management server perform separate verification checks, all authentication logic is consolidated in the authentication server. This consolidation maintains comprehensive security verification while reducing redundant communication overhead, as the authentication server processes all verification in one location rather than distributing it across multiple servers.
Data Source
AI summary
A communication system includes a registration server, a management server and a first target device. When receiving destination information from a communication device, the registration server transmits authentication information to the communication device, transmits screen relating information to a destination indicated by the destination information, receives user information from the communication device and registers the user information therein. When receiving the authentication information from the communication device, the first target device transmits the authentication information and first device identification information to the management server. When receiving the authentication information and the first device identification information from the first target device, the management server registers the first device identification information therein. The user information in the registration server and the first device identification information in the management server are registered with being associated with each other.
