Server-Based Smart Device Binding via Temporary Relations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing device binding methods for smart devices in wireless communication technologies require users to perform multiple operations, such as clicking buttons on terminals and smart devices, to establish a binding relation between device and user identifications, which can be cumbersome and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A method where a server configures a temporary binding relation between device and user identifications after detecting a designated operation on a device transaction page, allowing the server to directly bind the identifications without the need for additional user operations on terminals or smart devices, by displaying a temporary binding triggering option and storing the relation when selected.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users perform multiple operations (clicking buttons on terminal and smart device) to establish binding relation, then binding security is ensured, but binding process complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The server pre-generates binding relationships between user accounts and device identifiers before the actual binding is needed. When a user purchases a device, the binding is already established in advance, eliminating the need for post-purchase binding operations. This preliminary action maintains security while greatly simplifying the user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that automatically establishes binding relationships between users and devices. Instead of requiring direct interaction between the user terminal and smart device, the server mediates the binding process by receiving purchase information and automatically creating the binding, thus reducing operational complexity while maintaining security.
2Reliability
If multiple operations are required for device binding, then binding reliability is improved, but binding time increases and processing efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
Binding relationships are established in advance by the server before the user actually needs to use the device. The server pre-processes the binding information based on purchase data, so that when the device is activated, the binding is already complete. This eliminates time-consuming post-purchase binding operations while ensuring reliable binding.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent skips the traditional multi-step binding process entirely by using pre-established binding relationships. Instead of requiring users to go through clicking, confirming, and verifying steps, the system rushes through the binding process by having it completed automatically in the background during purchase, significantly improving processing efficiency.
3Measurement precision
If traditional binding methods are used with multiple user operations, then device-user association accuracy is ensured, but operational steps increase and process simplicity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The server performs preliminary binding operations based on purchase information before the user needs the device. This pre-established association ensures accurate device-user matching while eliminating the need for multiple subsequent binding steps, thus maintaining association accuracy while simplifying the process to essentially zero user actions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs binding automatically through self-service mechanisms. The server automatically processes purchase information and establishes bindings without requiring user intervention in the binding process itself. This self-service approach ensures accurate associations are made while reducing the number of operational steps to minimal or zero user actions.

AI summary
The present invention provides a device binding method and apparatus, which pertain to the field of wireless communication technologies. The method comprises: after a smart device is connected with an access point according to connection information of the access point, it acquires its own device identification and a user identification of a user owning the smart device, and sends the identifications to a server; after the server receives the device identification and the user identification, it judges whether there is a temporary binding relation between the device identification and the user identification according to a preconfigured temporary binding relation; if there is a temporary binding relation between the device identification and the user identification, the server binds the device identification and the user identification, wherein the temporary binding relation is configured by the server after the server detects a designated operation on a device transaction page. As the server can directly bind the device identification and the user identification according to the preconfigured temporary binding relation between the device identification and the user identification, the user does not need to perform other operations on a terminal or the smart device, thereby simplifying the binding process.
