Near field communication authentication sharing system between devices
The granted patent (Publication Number: US11882116B2) describes a system for near field communication authorization sharing between devices. The system involves a first user device with processors, input devices, and storage devices, providing user credentials for authentication to access an application, sharing an authentication code with a second device via near field communication, allowing access without re-authentication. The second user device receives the authentication code, requests access to the application, transmits the code to an authentication server, receives an access token, and accesses the application. An authentication server verifies user credentials, provides access tokens, and allows revocation of access by the first user device.
The system, as outlined in the patent claims, specifies the use of Android devices for both the first and second user devices, with the authentication code transmitted through near field communication. The application on the first device is the same as the one on the second device, ensuring seamless access. The innovative approach of sharing authentication codes through near field communication enhances user experience by eliminating the need for repeated authentication processes, streamlining access to applications across devices. The system's ability to revoke access through a revocation message adds a layer of security and control for the primary user device, ensuring data privacy and security.
