ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR ADAPTIVELY PROVIDING AUTHENTICATION SCHEME OF SERVICE BASED ON CONTEXT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17854981 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM FOR ADAPTIVELY PROVIDING AUTHENTICATION SCHEME OF SERVICE BASED ON CONTEXT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that includes a display, communication circuits, memory, and a processor. The device is capable of providing a service that requires user authentication through interworking with an external device.
- The device receives a user input requesting the use of the service.
- It identifies the context of the device using its communication circuits.
- It identifies an appropriate authentication scheme for the service.
- The display shows a visual object indicating the authentication scheme to the user.
- The user is authenticated through the chosen scheme by providing a second user input.
- Once the user is authenticated, the device provides the service by interworking with the external device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Secure access to online services or applications.
- Authentication for financial transactions or online purchases.
- Secure access to personal or sensitive information.
- Integration with smart home devices or IoT devices for authentication purposes.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Simplifies the user authentication process by automatically identifying the appropriate authentication scheme based on the context of the device.
- Provides a visual indication to the user, making it easier to understand and follow the authentication process.
- Enables secure interworking with external devices to provide the desired service.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security by using different authentication schemes based on the context of the device.
- Improved user experience with a simplified and visual authentication process.
- Seamless integration with external devices for a smooth service provision.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device includes a display; a plurality of communication circuits; at least one memory configured to store instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to: receive a first user input requesting use of a service provided via a user authentication based at least in part on interworking with an external electronic device, based on receiving of the first user input, identify a context of the electronic device by using at least one of the plurality of communication circuits, identify a first authentication scheme corresponding to the context from a plurality of authentication schemes registered with respect to the service for user authentication, control the display to display a first visual object indicating the first authentication scheme to authenticate a user of the service, authenticate the user through the first authentication scheme based at least in part on at least one second user input received when the first visual object is displayed, and in response to the authentication of user, provide the service based at least in part on interworking with the external electronic device.
