Description
An Authentication System The present invention relates to an authentication system for enabling commerce transactions via a social network.
E-commercc transactions wherein a customer is able to purchase goods over the internet have become increasingly popular in recent times. Typically, a customer would browse goods on commerce platform such as a website. The website may be that of a goods manufacturer or that of one of its partners. Once items of interest have been identified, a purchase may be made by transmitting the customers payment details (for example, a credit card number and a billing address) and their delivery details (delivery address) so that the goods may be transmitted to the customer. As a security measure other additional information may also be required before a purchase can be made. Typically, customers arc required to set up an account by providing the necessary information before a purchase can be made. The customer is provided with a username and password so that they may make subsequent purchases from that commerce platform without needing to repeat the time consuming step of entering the required information.
However, people may wish to make e-commerce purchases from several commerce platforms, each of which may require a separate account. This is inconvenient for the user since they must remember several different account names and passwords.
Many persons have social network accounts and spend time connected to social networks. Once a person has logged in to their social network account, the social network allows that person to communicate with and share information with others. Recently, there has been a trend towards commerce platforms offering goods for sale via social networks. As with direct c-commerce platforms, before a purchase can be made an account must be set up. Such accounts typically require authentication details, for example by use of a username and a password, if unnecessary data entry is to be avoided. These additional authentication details provide a furiher burden on the user and hence a deterrent to purchasing via commerce platforms integrated with social network sites.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to at least partially overcome or alleviate the above problems.
According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided an authentication system for use with a commerce platform embedded in a social network, the authentication system comprising: an identification module operable to determine a social network identification code of a user interacting with said embeddcd commerce platform; and a token module operable to look up a social network identification code in a store of known social network identification codes wherein if said social network identification code is known the token module is further operable to extract a token corresponding to said social network identification code and pass said token to the embedded commerce platform to authenticate the user and wherein if said social network identification code is not known, the token module is further operable to receive a token from said embedded commerce platform, associate said token with said social network identification code and store said social network identification code and associated token for future authentication.
The present system therefore allows the use of a social network identification code to authenticate users wanting to make purchases from commerce platforms embedded in a social network. By doing so, the burden on the user of recalling authentication data is reduced.
The authentication system may comprise a storage module. The storage module may be is operable to store information in the form of a database. Said information may comprise a plurality of entries, each entry comprising a social network identification code and an associated token. Each entry may additionally compnse a commerce platform identification code associated with the token. This can allow several entries in the storage module for the same user, each relating to a different commerce platform.
The authentication system may be adapted to allow information stored in the storage module to be extracted and/or altered by the token module. The authentication system may be adapted to allow information stored in the storage module to be searched by the token module. For example, the token module may be operable to check whether or not there is an entry in the storage module corresponding to a specific social network identification code and/or a specific commerce platform identification code. The token module may be fhrther operable to retrieve the associated token. The token module may be further operable to create an entry in the storage modula The storage system may be integral with the token module. Alternatively, the storage system may be connected to the token module by a suitable wired or wireless link.
The authentication system may comprise a first communication link between the identification module and the social network. The first communication link may comprise a layer of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provided by the social network and/or the identification moduk in order to facilitate communication therebetween.
The authentication system may comprise a second communication link between the token module and the embedded commerce platform. The second communication link may comprise a layer of APIs provided by the token module and/or the embedded commerce platform in order to facilitate communication thereijetween.
The first and second communication links may comprise a network such as the internet. The first and second communication links may comprise physical links, wireless links or a combination thereof Ifa social network identification code that the token module looks up is not known, the token module may be further operable to: request user details from the user; transmit these details to the embedded commerce platform for the creation of a commerce account; receive a token corresponding to said social network identification code from said embedded commerce platform; and create an entry in the storage module comprising the social network identification code and the token. Said entry may further comprise a commerce platform identification code.
The token module may be further operable to: receive commerce account details corresponding to said social network identification code from said embedded commerce platform; and store and/or transmit said account details to the user. The account details may comprise a usernanle and a password. Therefore, the user has access to their account details which may, for example, facilitate access to the same account via conventional ecommerce channels rather than via the social network.
Alternatively, the commerce account details may not be transmitted to the user who may never need to know them.
Some or all of the user details requested by the token module may be retrieved automatically by the authentication system from the social network. Additionally or alternatively, the authentication system may prompt the user to enter some or all of the user details requcstcd by the token module. Preferably, the authcntication system is operable to automatically retrieve the user details that are available from the social network and to prompt the user to enter the remainder of the user details.
The requested user details may comprise any or all of the following: personal details such as name and address; payment details such as credit card details and billing address.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of authenticating a social network user accessing a commerce platform embedded in a social network, the method comprising the steps of: detecting an attempt by a user of a social network to access a commerce account by connecting to the embedded commerce platform; retrieving a social network identification code associated with the user; checking whether or not there is an entry in a store of known social network identification codes corresponding to the social network identification code; and if there is an entry corresponding to the social network identification code, retrieving its associated token and transmitting this to the embedded commerce platform for authentication; or if there is not an entry corresponding to the social network identification code, requesting user details from the user, transmitting the user details to the embedded commerce platform for the creation of a commerce account, receiving a token, associating said token with a social network identification code, and creating an entry in the store corresponding to the social network identification code and the token for future authentication.
The method of the second aspect of the present invention may comprise any or all of the features of the system of the first aspect of the present invention as desired or required.
In order that the invention can be more clearly understood an exemplary embodiment of it is now described further below with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows, schematically, an embodiment of an authentication system according to the present invention.
Referring to the figure, an authentication system 100 for enabling social network commerce transactions is shown. The authentication system 100 comprises: an identification module 101; a token module 102; and a storage module 103. The authentication system 100 allows the user of a social network 200 to connect to an embedded commerce platform 300 in a secure fashion.
The storage module 103 is operable to store a plurality of entries, each entry comprising a social network identification code, a commerce platform identification code and a token.
The social network 200 comprises a plurality of user accounts and the social network 200 holds personal data relating to the user of each of these accounts. A first communication link 104, comprising a layer of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), is provided by the social network 200 enable customer data to be extracted and/or updated. The identification module l0 utilises these APIs 104 to authenticate a user who wishes to make a purchase from the embedded embedded commerce platform 300. Authenticated users can allow the identification module 101 to gain access to their personal data for the purpose of making a transaction.
The identification module 101 is operable to retrieve a social network identification code associated with the user and transmit this to the token module 102 and it allows the user to exchange information with the embedded commerce platform 300. A further API layer 105 is provided between the identification module and the token module to enable searches for active user accounts, authentication of new accounts and retrieval of user data.
When a social network user interacts with the embedded commerce platform 300 the identification module 101 retrieves their social network identification code from the social network 200. The social network identification code is transmitted from the identification module 101 to the token module 102 via an API layer 105. The token module 102 also retrieves a commerce platform identification code from the embedded commerce platform 300.
The token module 102 will search through the entries in the storage module 103 and check whether or not there is an entry in the storage module 103 conesponding to the social network identification code and the commerce platform identification code. That is to say it will check whether or not that social network user has already created a commerce user account for use with that embedded commerce platform 300.
If there is no entry in the storage module 103 that matches the social network identification code and the commerce platform [dentification code then the authentication system 100 will request user details from the user. It may do this by displaying a login screen to allow the user to enter user details for the creation of a commerce account. The token module 102 is further operable to transmit these details to the embedded commerce platform 300 via a second communication link 106 for the creation of a commerce account. Upon receipt of such a request, the embedded commerce platform 300 will transmit a token to the token module 102 via the second communication link 106. The token module 101 will then create an entry in the storage module 103 comprising the social network identification code, the commerce platform identification code and the token. This entry is stored for future usc.
Alternatively, if the social network identifier and the commerce platform identification code both match one of the entries in the storage module 103 that user will he automatically logged into their existing commerce account and that user's data will automatically be displayed where necessary as will be described further below.
When the social network identifier and the commerce platform identification code both match one of the entries in the storage module 103, the token module 102 will retrieve its associated token. This token would have been provided by the commerce platform when the commerce account was originally created and authenticated (see below). The token is then transmitted to the embedded commerce platform 300, via the second communication link 106, for authentication of the user.
Once authenticated, the embedded commerce platform 300 may retrieve the user data associated with that user.
API layer 106 is provided by the token module as a common public interface for the exchange of data between the authentication system 100 and the embedded commerce platform 300. API layer 106 may comprise one API for authentication requests with usernamc and password variables and another API for authentication requests based on tokens to identify the customer. Both of these APIs in API layer 106 allow for the return of customer data.
The embedded commerce platform 300 contains the main customer accounts.
For each customer account, the embedded commerce platform 300 stores at least: personal data relating to the customer, a usemame, a password and a token. Upon receipt of a request to authenticate a customer by username and password, the embedded commerce platform 300 may check these against a local database. If the usernamc and password are correct, the embedded commerce platform 300 will return the customer data and token, via APIs 106 to token module 102. If the username and password are not correct, the embedded commerce platform 300 will return an invalid notification. Upon receipt of a request to authenticate a customer by a token, the embedded commerce platform 300 will check these against a local database. If the username and password are correct, the embedded commerce platform 300 will return the customer data via APIs 106 to token module 102. If the token if not correct, the embedded commerce platform 300 will return an invalid notification.
It is of course to be understood that the invention is not to be restricted to the details of the above embodiments which have been described by way of example only. -10-
