Solution Overview

Problem

Current network-accessed data systems, such as websites, require separate processes for login and registration, leading to user inefficiency and wasted time when users mistakenly attempt to register or login without credentials, resulting in a suboptimal user experience.

Innovation Solution

A system that integrates portions of the login and registration process, allowing users to provide a user identifier and password in an initial request, determining if it matches existing records, and subsequently transmitting either login or registration data to streamline access, reducing user interactions and computer processing resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If separate login and registration processes are used, then system security and user management are maintained, but user time and interaction efficiency deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser managementVSAvoiduser time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the login and registration processes into a single unified interface. The system presents a combined form that can handle both login and registration requests, eliminating the need for users to navigate between separate pages. The server determines whether to process the request as a login or registration based on the user identifier and credentials provided, thereby reducing user time while maintaining proper user management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If separate login and registration web pages are required, then proper authentication flow is maintained, but device complexity and user interactions increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication flowVSAvoidweb page structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal access interface that serves multiple functions - both login and registration - through a single web page. The form accepts user identifiers and credentials, and the server determines the appropriate action (login or registration) based on whether the user identifier exists in the database. This multi-functional approach reduces device complexity while maintaining proper authentication flow through server-side logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If users must navigate between login and registration pages, then proper credential verification is ensured, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecredential verificationVSAvoiduser operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the login and registration operations into a single user-friendly interface. Users provide their user identifier and credentials in one form, and the system automatically determines whether to process it as a login attempt or a registration request. This combination maintains credential verification through server-side validation while significantly improving ease of operation by eliminating the need for users to navigate between multiple pages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A system, comprising: memory operable to store at least one program; at least one processor in communication with the memory, in which the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform the steps of: receiving an initial request for access to restricted data from a client device, the initial request including a user identifier; determining whether the user identifier is associated with any of a plurality of user registration records for accessing the restricted data; transmitting login data to the client device if the user identifier is associated with one of the plurality of user registration records and transmitting registration data to the client device if the user identifier is not associated with any of the plurality of the user registration records.
