Temporary Data Access Token for Non-Registered Users
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in sharing dynamic data with non-registered users, as they require user IDs and passwords for access, making it difficult to share confidential and non-confidential data, and conventional solutions are expensive and inflexible.
Innovation Solution
A method for generating temporary data access tokens for non-registered users, allowing them to access specific data subsets for a limited time without registration, using a server with a token generator and integrator to manage access and update token attributes dynamically.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If user registration with ID and password is required for data access, then data security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces temporary access tokens as an intermediary mechanism between registered users and non-registered users. These tokens enable secure data access for external users without requiring them to create accounts or use complex authentication credentials, thus resolving the contradiction between security and ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments access control by creating temporary, time-limited access tokens that grant specific permissions to specific users for specific durations. This segmentation allows fine-grained control over data sharing while maintaining security, eliminating the need for full user registration
2Adaptability or versatility
If customized applications are built for outside users, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity and cost worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal temporary token generation system that can serve multiple external users across different applications and data types. This single mechanism replaces the need for building customized applications for each external user scenario, reducing complexity while maintaining adaptability
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses dynamic, time-limited tokens that can be generated on-demand with varying permissions and expiration times. This dynamic approach provides adaptability for different external user needs without requiring static, pre-configured customized applications
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are techniques for generating a temporary data access token for a subset of data for a specific period of time for a non-registered user who did not register with a computer providing access to the subset of the data. In response to the non-registered user attempting to access the subset of data with the temporary data access token, it is determined whether the temporary data access token is valid for the subset of data based on the specified period of time. In response to the temporary data access token being valid, the subset of data is provided to the non-registered user. In response to the temporary data access token not being valid, access is denied to the subset of data by the non-registered user.
