Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems require users to individually log in to multiple web applications, which is inconvenient and inefficient.
Innovation Solution
A platform with a storage device and control device that includes user identification and application information, allowing a single login to access multiple web applications based on user identification and available application information, and a computer-readable medium with a platform operating program to facilitate this functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users individually log in to multiple web applications, then each application can be accessed independently, but user convenience and operational efficiency deteriorate due to repeated login procedures
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple web application login procedures into a single unified login system. The authentication server consolidates login functions across different applications, allowing users to authenticate once and access multiple applications without repeating the login process. This is achieved by storing user identification information and available application information in association, enabling a single login to grant access to multiple applications simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication server is designed with universal functionality to handle authentication for multiple different web applications through a single system. The server stores and processes user identification information along with available application information, creating a multi-functional authentication mechanism that serves various applications rather than requiring separate dedicated login systems for each application.
2Productivity
If a single login system is implemented for multiple applications, then user convenience improves, but system complexity increases due to need for user identification and application information association
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the authentication system into distinct functional components: a user identification information storage section and an available application information storage section. These segmented storage areas are associated together to create the authentication server's data management structure. This segmentation allows the system to organize and retrieve user and application information efficiently without creating a monolithic complex data structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication server acts as an intermediary between users and multiple web applications. It mediates the interaction by storing and processing user identification information along with available application information, facilitating authorized access to applications without requiring direct user-application authentication connections. This intermediary function simplifies the overall system architecture while enabling efficient multi-application access.
Data Source
AI summary
A platform serves as a basis for executing a plurality of web applications, and includes a storage device and a control device. The storage device contains user identification information, and available application information indicating the web application available to a user, in association with each other. The control device includes a processor, and acts as an application provision device, when the processor executes a control program. The application provision device allows a log-in user, who has logged in to the platform, to utilize at least one of the plurality of web applications, on a basis of the user identification information and the available application information.
