Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for providing authentication information on web pages are inflexible, as the content is fixed and cannot be autonomously selected or edited by users, and there is a lack of integration with search engines to enhance reliability.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that allow users to select and edit authentication information on web pages in real-time, using a script code embedded in the web page to request and display authentication information, and integrating with search engines to provide authentication information only when the page is accessed through a relevant search engine.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If authentication information is directly embedded in the web page by a third party, then the authentication information is provided on the web page, but the content is fixed and inflexible and the user cannot autonomously select and edit the authentication information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility of authentication information displayVSAvoidcomplexity of authentication system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The authentication information is segmented into multiple selectable items, allowing users to choose specific portions to display. The system divides the authentication data into distinct elements that can be independently controlled, enabling flexible composition of displayed information without requiring complete authentication data to be shown.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Users are empowered to autonomously select and edit their own authentication information through provided interfaces. The system enables self-service by allowing users to configure which authentication items are displayed, in what order, and with what visibility settings, without requiring third-party intervention for each customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If authentication information is provided without search engine integration, then the implementation is simpler, but the reliability and security of authentication information is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of authentication informationVSAvoidcomplexity of system integration
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The search engine acts as an intermediary that verifies and validates authentication information before it is displayed on web pages. The search engine receives authentication data from the third-party system, performs reliability checks, and only allows authenticated information to be displayed, thereby enhancing trustworthiness while maintaining a clear separation between the authentication provider and display system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If all authentication information is displayed on the web page, then complete information is provided, but the security and relevance of information is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of authentication informationVSAvoidsecurity risks from information exposure
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

Different portions of authentication information are displayed with different levels of visibility and detail based on their sensitivity and relevance. The system applies local quality by showing certain authentication items prominently while keeping others hidden or partially visible, allowing complete information to be available in the system while controlling what is exposed to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system displays only the necessary portion of authentication information rather than all available data. By showing a subset of authentication items that are most relevant and least sensitive, the system provides sufficient verification without exposing unnecessary information that could create security risks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The present disclosure provides a method for an authentication system to provide authentication information for a web page, comprising: receiving a request for authentication information from a web page; judging whether the web page is redirected to through a relevant search engine; judging whether the web page satisfies a condition of displaying the authentication information; and providing the authentication information to the web page satisfying the condition. By providing authentication information to a web site through a search engine, with the combination of the authentication system with the relevant search engine, the reliability and security of authentication information are enhanced. Besides, the user may autonomously edit and manage the displaying pattern of the authentication information, such that the authentication information may be displayed in real time on the web page.
