Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides a responder such as a health care professional with quick and secure access to select information about a user. An embodiment of such quick and secure access to select information may include receiving a user request to authenticate a responder mobile phone from the responder mobile phone, separately sending a common secure data to each of the responder's mobile phone and the user's mobile phone, receiving user authorization to release select data to the responder's mobile phone, the user's authorization received from the responder's mobile phone. Other embodiments are described herein.
Claims16
At least one non-transitory computer accessible medium including instructions that when executed cause a system to:
- confirm receipt of a user request to authenticate a responder device and a unique user identifier from the responder device as an indicator of a secure proximity-based communications link between the responder device and a user device;
- send a common secure data in a separate communication to each of the responder device and the user device, wherein the user device is only able to communicate its unique user identifier to the responder device via a near field communication;
- confirm receipt of a user authorization to release a set of user data items to the responder from the responder device as an indicator that the responder device was successfully authenticated by verification of the common secure data;
- and
- obtain a type-appropriate set of user data items to release to the responder.
A system comprising:
- a compute node;
- and
- at least one processor and control logic coupled to the compute node, the at least one processor to:
- in response to receipt of a unique user identifier, a unique responder identifier, and a user request for authentication from a responder compute node, associate the unique user identifier with a particular user and the unique responder identifier with a particular responder;
- send a common secure data in a separate communication to each of the responder compute node and a user compute node, wherein the user device is only able to communicate its unique user identifier to the responder device via a near field communication;
- and
- in response to receipt of the particular user's authorization to release a responder-appropriate set of user data items to the particular responder from the responder compute node, enable the responder compute node to access the responder-appropriate set of user data items.
