User Relationship Detection via Device Login Patterns
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current techniques lack effective mechanisms for managing relationships between user accounts based on login patterns from user devices, limiting the ability to identify and utilize user relationships for targeted promotions and services.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that utilize a login detector within a computer system to identify relationships between user accounts by analyzing login patterns from user devices, employing unique identifiers such as IP addresses, MAC addresses, and processor identifiers to detect and manage relationships, enabling targeted actions like video recommendations, product suggestions, and contextual reminders.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If relationship identification is based on social media networks, then user relationship information can be obtained, but the mechanism is limited and does not provide additional effective promotion mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses device identifiers (IMSI, IMEI, MAC addresses) as intermediary elements to connect user accounts to physical devices. This intermediary approach enables relationship identification through login pattern analysis, providing a new pathway beyond social media networks for obtaining user relationship information and enabling diverse promotion mechanisms.
2Loss of information
If login patterns from user devices are analyzed, then additional user relationship information can be obtained, but device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing device identifiers (IMSI, IMEI, MAC addresses) and login pattern data in advance. This preliminary data collection enables subsequent relationship identification without requiring complex real-time processing, thereby reducing the perceived system complexity while maintaining comprehensive relationship analysis capabilities.
