Card Content Management Module for Application Lifecycle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of specific methods for implementing a proxy mechanism to manage intelligent card content, including loading, installing, updating, and deleting applications, which hinders the extension of intelligent card applications and user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A method for managing applications on a card is provided, involving a card content management module that checks card states, formats data, and executes commands for loading, installing, updating, and deleting applications based on specific preset formats and conditions, allowing third-party proxy management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the card issuer manages all card content directly, then security and control are maintained, but system complexity and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a card content management module as an intermediary between the card issuer and third-party applications. This module handles authentication, authorization, and management operations for multiple applications without requiring the card issuer to directly manage each application, thus maintaining security while reducing operational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The card content management module enables third-party applications to self-manage their own content through automated authentication and authorization mechanisms. The system performs self-service operations including loading, installing, updating, and deleting applications without requiring direct intervention from the card issuer for each operation
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple third-party applications are installed on the card, then user convenience and application diversity improve, but security management and content control become more difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements local quality control by assigning different authentication levels, authorization rights, and security policies to different third-party applications based on their specific requirements and trust levels. Each application can be managed with tailored security parameters rather than applying uniform control to all applications
Solution Approach 2:
The card content management module acts as a security intermediary that mediates between multiple third-party applications and the card system. It performs centralized authentication and authorization for each application, ensuring that security management remains robust even as application diversity increases
3Productivity
If a proxy mechanism is introduced for third-party application management, then operational efficiency and user convenience improve, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The card content management module is designed as a universal multi-functional system that handles multiple application management operations (loading, installing, updating, deleting) through a unified interface and standardized processes. This multi-functionality improves efficiency while avoiding the need for separate complex mechanisms for each operation type
Solution Approach 2:
The system manages complexity by changing parameters such as authentication tokens, authorization levels, and operation flags rather than fundamentally altering the management architecture. These parameter changes enable flexible and efficient application management while maintaining a relatively simple underlying system structure
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent cards, and disclosed is a method for managing an application on a card. The method comprises: after receiving data sent by a running environment, a card content management module checking a card state; when the card state is not a first preset state or a second preset state, checking the received data; and when the received data meets a preset format, continuing to receive the data sent by the running environment to obtain a complete command, and performing a corresponding command to implement an association of applications on a card. The beneficial effects of the present invention are to provide a method for managing an application on a card, so that loading, installation, update, personalization, and deletion of an application on the card can be implemented.
