US 2015/0101030 A1 · User Collision Detection and Handling

Abstract

Techniques for user collision detection and handling are described. According to various embodiments, a network resource provides content, services, and so forth, for consumption by authenticated users. To perform authentication tasks, the network resource leverages authentication services. Since a network resource may utilize multiple authentication services, collisions between users may occur. For instance, a user identifier for a user authenticated by one authentication service may match a user identifier for a different user authenticated by a different authentication service. Thus, techniques discussed herein are employed to detect such collisions and to handle the collisions such that users are differentiated from one another for authentication and resource access purposes.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations including:
receiving an indication that a user is authenticated with an authentication service for access to a network resource, and an authentication user identifier for the authenticated user;
generating based on the authentication user identifier a resource user identifier to be used to identify the authenticated user in the network resource;
detecting based on the resource user identifier and the authentication user identifier for the authenticated user that a user collision occurs between the authenticated user and a different user of the network resource;
and
implementing a collision handling procedure in response to said detecting to resolve the collision and enable the authenticated user to access the network resource.
