ASYNCHRONOUS AUTHORIZATION OF APPLICATION ACCESS TO RESOURCES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355290 titled 'ASYNCHRONOUS AUTHORIZATION OF APPLICATION ACCESS TO RESOURCES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that allows applications to request access to a resource.

  • The apparatus includes a processor that records the access request in a data store.
  • An authorized entity is identified to evaluate the request.
  • The authorized entity is notified to evaluate the request asynchronously, meaning they can evaluate it at a later time.
  • The processor checks if a response is received from the authorized entity.
  • If a response is received, the request is either rejected or granted based on the response.
  • The record of the request is cleared from the data store.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access a request for access by an application to a resource and may record the request in a data store. The processor may also identify an authorized entity to evaluate the request and output a notification to the authorized entity to evaluate the request, in which the authorized entity is to evaluate the request asynchronously with submission of the request by the application. In addition, the processor may determine whether a response is received from the authorized entity and, based on a determination that the response is received, may reject or grant the request based on the response and clear the record of the request from the data store.
