Unified Super Account Authentication Across Platforms
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems require developers to undergo complex and time-consuming authentication processes across multiple application platforms, leading to inefficient resource management and redundant configuration of identification authentication mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilizes a super account to perform identity authentication once, allowing access to multiple sub-accounts across platforms, with the server querying sub-servers for usage rights and generating user interfaces based on these rights, thereby simplifying the authentication process and reducing redundant operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If each application platform implements independent identification authentication mechanisms, then each platform can securely verify user identities, but the authentication process becomes complex and time-consuming for developers
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple independent authentication mechanisms into a single unified authentication system. The central authentication server consolidates the authentication functions that were previously distributed across multiple application platforms, allowing developers to perform one authentication process to access multiple platforms simultaneously, thereby reducing authentication time while maintaining security through the unified verification mechanism
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication server is designed with universal functionality to serve multiple application platforms simultaneously. It can authenticate users for different types of applications (web, mobile, hardware, public account) through a single interface, making the authentication system multi-functional and eliminating the need for platform-specific authentication processes
2Adaptability or versatility
If each application platform implements its own identification authentication mechanism, then each platform has full control over authentication, but server resources are wasted on redundant configurations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the authentication functions of multiple application platforms into a single centralized authentication server. This eliminates redundant server configurations and resource waste while maintaining the ability to serve different platform types through the unified system
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication server is built with universal capabilities to handle authentication for diverse application platforms (web, mobile, hardware, public account) through a single system, eliminating the need for each platform to maintain separate authentication infrastructure and reducing overall server resource consumption
3Adaptability or versatility
If developers use separate accounts for each application platform, then each account can be optimized for specific platform requirements, but the operation process becomes complex with multiple accounts to manage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple platform-specific accounts into a single unified account system. Developers can manage all their application platform access through one account rather than switching between multiple accounts, significantly simplifying account management operations while the system maintains the ability to provide platform-specific optimizations
Data Source
AI summary
A method and system for facilitating collaboration across a plurality of platforms are disclosed. A server with one or more processors and memory performs an identity authentication process to validate a user to access a super account, where the super account is bound to a plurality of sub-accounts, and where each of the plurality of sub-accounts corresponds to a distinct platform. In accordance with a determination that the authentication process is successful, the server queries sub-servers corresponding to the plurality of sub-accounts for respective usage rights of each of the plurality of sub-accounts. The server transmits, to the user, one or more tokens identifying the respective usage rights of each of the plurality of sub-accounts and generates a user interface including affordances based at least in part on the usage rights of each of the plurality of sub-accounts.
