==AUTHENTICATING A USER DEVICE VIA A MONITORING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18157993 titled 'AUTHENTICATING A USER DEVICE VIA A MONITORING DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a patent application for a server device that authenticates a user device and a monitoring device based on their locations. Once authenticated, the server device creates a session token and sends it to the user device, allowing access to server resources.

* The server device receives a session initiation request and location information from a user device.
* It also receives an authentication request and location information from a separate monitoring device.
* The server device processes both requests to authenticate the user of the user device.
* It determines that the user device and the monitoring device are collocated based on their locations.
* After authentication and collocation determination, the server device generates a session token.
* The session token is sent to the user device, granting access to server resources.

== Potential Applications ==
* Secure access to server resources based on user and monitoring device locations.
* Enhanced authentication and authorization processes for user devices.
* Improved security measures for accessing sensitive information.

== Problems Solved ==
* Ensures that the user device and monitoring device are physically located together.
* Provides an additional layer of security by authenticating both devices.
* Prevents unauthorized access to server resources.

== Benefits ==
* Enhanced security by verifying the physical proximity of the user and monitoring devices.
* Simplified authentication process for users.
* Improved protection against unauthorized access to server resources.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A server device receives, from a user device, a session initiation request and information identifying a location of the user device, and receives, from a monitoring device that is separate from the user device, an authentication request and information identifying a location of the monitoring device. The server device processes the session initiation request and the authentication request to authenticate a user of the user device, and determines, based on the location of the user device and the location of the monitoring device, that the user device and the monitoring device are collocated. The server device creates, after authenticating the user of the user device and determining that user device and the monitoring device are collocated, a session token, and sends the session token to the user device to enable the user device to access at least one resource of the server device.
