Autonomous Ad Hoc Group Authentication for Real-Time Member Operations
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional group management, particularly for ad hoc groups, is time-consuming and burdensome due to manual operations, lack of flexibility, and security concerns, especially when managing dynamic membership and transactions.
Innovation Solution
An ad hoc group organizer system that automates group operations using digital authentication and mDL verification, enabling real-time membership management, secure transactions, and geolocation tracking, with capabilities for fund collection and activity coordination.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual group operations are used for ad hoc groups, then flexibility in group formation is maintained, but time consumption and operational burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing group templates, pre-configuring payment methods, and pre-defining activity parameters. When forming an ad hoc group, these pre-configured elements are automatically deployed, eliminating the need for manual setup during the actual group formation process. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining flexibility through customizable templates while reducing time consumption through automated deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing group members to automatically join or leave groups, select activities, and manage their own payments without organizer intervention. The automated system handles member onboarding, activity registration, and fund collection independently. This maintains flexibility for members to act autonomously while dramatically reducing the time and effort required from organizers.
2Reliability
If extensive prior planning is conducted for traditional groups, then operational completeness is improved, but time consumption and planning complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-establishing group templates, pre-configuring payment methods, and pre-defining activity parameters. When forming an ad hoc group, these pre-configured elements are automatically deployed, eliminating the need for manual setup during the actual group formation process. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining flexibility through customizable templates while reducing time consumption through automated deployment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by dynamically adjusting group configurations, payment limits, and activity options based on real-time conditions and member preferences. Rather than fixing all parameters in advance, the system allows flexible parameter modification during group operations, ensuring operational completeness while avoiding excessive prior planning.
3Reliability
If manual fund collection and ticket distribution are performed, then transaction security is maintained, but operational efficiency and accuracy decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual mechanical processes with automated digital systems. Fund collection is automated through integrated payment processing, eliminating manual cash handling. Ticket distribution is replaced with digital voucher generation and automatic delivery to member devices. This substitution maintains security through encrypted transactions and automated verification while dramatically improving operational efficiency and eliminating human error.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies of physical processes. Instead of manual cash collection, digital payment records are automatically generated and stored. Instead of physical ticket distribution, electronic vouchers are copied and delivered to member devices. These digital copies maintain the security and integrity of original transactions while enabling automated, efficient processing.
4Reliability
If group organizers manage all operations manually, then control and oversight are maintained, but operational burden and error potential increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by allowing group members to automatically join or leave groups, select activities, and manage their own payments without organizer intervention. The automated system handles member onboarding, activity registration, and fund collection independently. This maintains flexibility for members to act autonomously while dramatically reducing the time and effort required from organizers.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that automatically notify organizers of group status, payment receipt, and activity participation. Real-time notifications and automated reporting provide continuous oversight without requiring manual monitoring. This maintains control and oversight while significantly reducing operational burden on organizers.

AI summary
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for establishing an ad hoc group and performing autonomous ad hoc group operations. An example method includes creating an ad hoc digital representation and selecting an invitation region to transmit an ad hoc group invitation to devices associated with individuals within the invitation region. The example method further includes receiving response decisions from the devices associated with the individuals within the invitation region and performing a digital authentication operation to authenticate devices for which the response decisions indicate acceptance of the invitation. The example method further includes adding authenticated devices to the ad hoc group and performing autonomous group operations. The autonomous group operations may comprise at least one or more of a group message broadcast, a group fund transaction, a group member geolocation tracking, a group member request handling, or a group feedback collection.
