Authentication method, apparatus, and system

An authentication apparatus, comprising:

• a receiving unit configured to receive a login request from a client terminal, wherein the login request is generated based on an identification feature of the client terminal, and the login request includes account information associated with the client terminal;
• an identification unit configured to identify the identification feature based on the login request;
• a determination unit configured to determine whether a database associated with a server includes the identification feature and the account information;
• a generating unit configured to, generate login status information based on a result of the determination and send the login status information to the client terminal;
• and
• an establishing unit configured to, if the login status information indicates a login success of the client terminal, initiate data communications with the client terminal.

A method for accessing a server, comprising:

• obtaining an identification feature of a client terminal;
• generating a login request based on the identification feature and sending the login request to the server, wherein the login request includes account information associated with the client terminal;
• receiving login status information from the server, wherein the login status information is generated by the server based on the login request;
• and
• if the login status information indicates a login success of the client terminal, initiating data communications with the server.

An apparatus for accessing a server, comprising:

• an obtaining unit configured to obtain an identification feature of a client terminal;
• a generating unit configured to generate a login request based on the identification feature and send the login request to the server, wherein the login request includes account information associated with the client terminal;
• a receiving unit configured to receive login status information from the server, wherein the login status information is generated by the server based on the login request;
• and
• an establishing unit configured to, if the login status information indicates a login success of the client terminal, initiate data communications with the server.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a display;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• receive a login request from a client terminal, wherein the login request is generated based on an identification feature of the client terminal, and the login request includes account information associated with the client terminal;
• determine whether a database of a server includes the identification feature and the account information;
• generate login status information based on a result of the determination and send the login status information to the client terminal;
• and
• if the login status information indicates a login success of the client terminal, initiate data communications with the client terminal.

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a set of instructions that is executable by at least one processor of a server to cause the server to perform an authentication method, the authentication method comprising:

• receiving a login request from a client terminal, wherein the login request is generated based on an identification feature of the client terminal, and the login request includes account information associated with the client terminal;
• determining whether a database of the server includes the identification feature and the account information;
• generating login status information based on a result of the determination and send the login status information to the client terminal;
• and
• if the login status information indicates a login success of the client terminal, initiating data communications with the client terminal.
