MUMBAI, India, June 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617060710 A) filed by Telefonaktiebolaget Lm Ericsson Publ on May 13, 2026, for Application Programming Interface (api) Access To Resource Based On Resource Owner Permission.
Inventors include Karakoc, Ferhat; Xu, Wenliang; and Btorfi, Richrd.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: Embodiments include methods for an application programming interface (API) exposing function (AEF) of a communication network. Such methods include receiving, from an API invoking entity, a request for invocation of an API for a resource in the communication network. The resource is owned by a resource owner, and the request includes an access token. Such methods include determining whether the access token is a resource owner aware northbound API access (RNAA) token. When it is determined that the access token is a RNAA token, such methods include verifying integrity of the RNAA token but refraining from verifying resource owner permission for the API invoking entity to access the resource and, when verification of integrity of the RNAA token is successful, invoking the API for the resource in accordance with the request. Other embodiments include complementary methods for an NF, as well as AEFs and NFs configured to perform such methods.
