Solution Overview

Problem

Existing Internet and mobile telecommunications services require complex setup operations and lack enhanced data security, making them difficult for users to interact with simply and securely.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that allow a user to interact with services through a single button press using a sensor apparatus that sends an identifier over a wireless network, with a first network server authenticating user identification and a second network server generating a reference identifier for secure service order execution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If traditional service interaction methods are used, then services can be provided, but setup operations are complex and user interaction is difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interaction simplicityVSAvoidsetup operations complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the service interaction process into distinct components: a sensor apparatus for trigger detection, a wireless communication module for data transmission, and server-side processing. This segmentation allows the user interface to be simplified to a single button press while the complex service logic is handled separately on the server side.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The sensor apparatus acts as an intermediary between the user and the service system. Instead of requiring users to directly interact with complex service interfaces, they simply trigger the sensor apparatus, which then communicates with the service provider system through automated protocols, thereby simplifying user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If user identification data is transmitted for service authentication, then service access is enabled, but data security is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoidexposure of sensitive user data
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and transmits only the necessary minimum information (sensor apparatus identifier and trigger event data) required for service access, while keeping sensitive user identification data stored securely on the server side. This extraction principle allows service authentication without exposing comprehensive user data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of transmitting actual user identification data, the system uses a reference copy approach where the server stores user data and retrieves it based on identifiers exchanged during authentication. This copying mechanism enables service access while preventing exposure of sensitive original data during transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

The disclosed embodiments allow an extremely simple and inexpensive way to interact with various Internet and mobile telecommunications related services, for example by a single button press, and with enhanced data security. A session login request includes a user identification and an identifier of a sensor apparatus associated with the user is received at a first network server from a user terminal. In response to successfully authenticating the user identification, an association request comprising the received identifier of the sensor apparatus is sent to a second network server. A reference identifier associated with the identifier of the sensor apparatus is generated at the second network server. The generated reference identifier mapped with the identifier of the sensor apparatus is stored at the second network server. Then, the generated reference identifier is sent to the first network server for storage.
