Terminal Application Registration via Pre-Generated Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for registering terminal applications via SMS messages require multiple interactions with the application server, leading to increased time consumption and a low registration success rate, which hampers the activation rate of applications and incurs additional user expenses.
Innovation Solution
A method where a first terminal receives a download address information recommending request carrying a second terminal's identifier, acquires the terminal application download address and generates authentication information, and returns recommended download address information including the download address and authentication details, allowing the second terminal to directly register using the provided information without multiple SMS interactions with the application server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If downlink SMS message registration or uplink SMS message registration is used, then user identity verification can be accomplished, but multiple interactions with the application server are required, leading to increased time consumption and reduced registration success rate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-generating authentication information and embedding it in the recommendation message before the user actually registers. The application server generates the authentication code in advance when the first user recommends the app to the second user, rather than generating it during the registration process. This eliminates the need for multiple back-and-forth SMS interactions during registration, reducing time consumption and improving registration success rate.
2Ease of operation
If multiple SMS message interactions are required for registration, then user identity can be verified, but the registration process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the authentication information delivery with the app recommendation process. Instead of separate steps for recommendation and authentication, the authentication code is embedded within the recommendation message itself. The second user receives both the app download information and the authentication code in a single message, eliminating multiple interaction steps and simplifying the registration process.
3Reliability
If multiple SMS interactions are required for registration, then authentication can be performed, but user expenses increase due to multiple SMS messages
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication information is prepared in advance and included in the initial recommendation message, eliminating the need for subsequent SMS interactions purely for authentication purposes. This reduces the total number of SMS messages the user needs to send and receive, thereby reducing user expenses while maintaining authentication reliability through the pre-generated authentication code.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for registering a terminal application. In the embodiments of the present invention, a download address information recommending request that is sent by a first terminal and carries a terminal identifier of a second terminal is received; and recommended download address information is returned to the first terminal, where the recommended download address information includes a terminal application download address and authentication information used for performing registration, so that the first terminal sends, to the second terminal, a recommending message carrying the recommended download address information, so as to make the second terminal register according to the terminal application download address and the authentication information used for performing registration. In this solution, less time is consumed and a registration success rate is high, which helps to improve an application activating rate for a user.
