Cross-Device Authentication Method and Electronic Device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240095329 titled 'Cross-Device Authentication Method and Electronic Device
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for cross-device authentication, where a first electronic device is connected to a second electronic device to trigger access to a service associated with the second device. The first device receives a target operation from a user, obtains authentication information, and sends an authentication request to the second device for authentication on the service.
- Simplified Explanation:
- Cross-device authentication method for accessing a service on a second device from a first device. - First device receives user input, acquires authentication information, and requests authentication from the second device. - Second device performs authentication and generates an authentication result.
- Potential Applications:
- Secure access to services across multiple devices. - Enhanced user experience with seamless authentication processes.
- Problems Solved:
- Simplifies authentication process for users. - Increases security by requiring authentication from multiple devices.
- Benefits:
- Improved convenience for users. - Enhanced security for accessing services.
- Potential Commercial Applications:
- Banking and financial services. - E-commerce platforms.
- Possible Prior Art:
- Two-factor authentication methods. - Single sign-on solutions.
- Unanswered Questions:
1. How does the method ensure the security of authentication information during transmission between devices? - The patent application does not provide specific details on the encryption or security measures used to protect authentication information during transmission. 2. Are there any limitations to the types of services or devices that can be used with this cross-device authentication method? - The patent application does not mention any restrictions on the compatibility of services or devices for implementing this authentication method.
Original Abstract Submitted
this application provides a cross-device authentication method and an electronic device. the method is applied to a first electronic device. the first electronic device is connected to a second electronic device, and the method includes: the first electronic device receives a target operation performed by a user on a first interface of the first electronic device. the target operation is for triggering access to a first service, and the first service is associated with the second electronic device. the first electronic device obtains a target authentication manner corresponding to the target operation, and then the first electronic device acquires authentication information based on the target authentication manner, and sends an authentication request to the second electronic device. the authentication request includes the authentication information, the authentication request is for requesting the second electronic device to perform authentication on the first service, and the second electronic device generates an authentication result after performing authentication on the first service. the method is for implementing cross-device authentication information acquisition, to improve convenience of an authentication operation.
