Samsung patents server method to manage user consent for edge apps
Samsung has been granted a patent for a server-based method that manages user permissions for applications running on the network's edge. The system checks if a user has already approved a service, and if not, it retrieves the consent from a client device before allowing the app to access the service. It also includes a security step using one-time passwords to update these permissions.
In the filing’s own words
Embodiments herein provide a method for providing a service to an edge application ( 600). The method includes receiving, by a server ( 500), at least one of a request for accessing the service associated with a User Equipment ( 300) from the edge application ( 600), and a request for a user consent associated with the UE ( 300) from the edge application ( 600). The method includes retrieving, by the server ( 500), the user consent from the edge enabler client ( 100), where the user consent indicates a consent of a user of the edge enabler client ( 100) to provide at least one of the service and the user consent with the edge application ( 600). The method includes sending, by the server ( 500), at least one of the service and the user consent to the edge application ( 600).
