Problems solved by technology

However, in terms of enterprise users, especially the large number of small and medium-sized enterprise users, the users authorized by the agreement are not completely consistent with the network terminals authorized by hardware binding, and cannot be simply bundled for authorization, and the use of unlimited authorization cannot guarantee the interests of operators. , so the slow progress

[0006] At the same time, it can be seen that no matter what kind of authorization type or authorization control method is adopted, the current authorization control is controlled at one point, or the client or terminal or network platform. These control points operate independently and have no relationship with each other, resulting in Various authorization methods cannot be converted to each other, resulting in users being limited by background authorization methods when using software and applications, and cannot freely choose and change according to business characteristics and user characteristics

Therefore, operators of many operational business models in the Internet software industry cannot provide them (for example, the first-use-then-activation model for corporate users, the first-personal-then-enterprise model for small businesses, and the pay-per-view model), which greatly reduces the operating costs. The user experience of the software business provided by the provider
