Smart Camera Local Access via Token Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulties in accessing smart cameras when they are not connected to the Internet, as existing technologies do not provide a reliable authentication mechanism for local area network access.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that detect access media, generate and verify access requests with tokens issued by a server, allowing access to smart cameras within local area networks without internet connectivity, using a token-based authentication mechanism that ensures safety and reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If Internet access is required for smart camera authentication, then security is improved, but accessibility deteriorates when user terminal cannot access the Internet
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a token as an intermediary authentication element that can be obtained through Internet access but then enables local authentication without requiring continuous Internet connectivity. The token acts as a mediator between the user terminal and smart camera, allowing authentication to proceed via local area network once the token is acquired.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication by obtaining a token through Internet access before local access is needed. This preliminary action stores authentication credentials locally, enabling subsequent access operations to proceed without real-time Internet connectivity, thus resolving the contradiction between security and accessibility.
2Ease of operation
If token-based authentication is implemented for local area network access, then accessibility is improved, but security may deteriorate without proper verification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the smart camera verifies the obtained token against stored authentication data before granting access. This verification feedback ensures that the token-based authentication maintains security by confirming the token's validity, thus resolving the contradiction between improved accessibility and maintained security.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method and a device for accessing a smart camera. The method includes: detecting access media for accessing a first smart camera; generating a first access request corresponding to the access media if it is detected that the access media is local area network, in which the first access request carries an access password; and sending the first access request to the first smart camera, such that the first smart camera accepts an access after verifying the access password in the first access request successfully.
