Card Issuance Authentication via Kiosk for Secure Instant Cards
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional card issuance methods are inconvenient and time-consuming, requiring users to visit branches or wait for card delivery, leading to delayed access to their cards.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for controlling card issuance that includes a card management server, an electronic device, and a card issuing apparatus, enabling authentication and verification processes to generate and issue cards promptly through a kiosk or similar device, utilizing authentication codes and location-specific data for secure and efficient card generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users visit a branch or affiliated location for card issuance, then card security and authentication are ensured, but user convenience and time consumption deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a card issuing apparatus as an intermediary device between the user and the card management server. This apparatus includes authentication modules that communicate with the server to verify user identity and issue cards on-site, eliminating the need for users to visit physical branches while maintaining security through server-based authentication protocols
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical branch visits with an automated electronic authentication system. The card issuing apparatus uses electronic communication with the card management server to perform authentication, verification, and card issuance functions that previously required manual processing at physical locations
2Ease of operation
If card delivery is used for remote issuance, then user travel is eliminated, but card delivery time and user access delay increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary authentication and verification actions at the card issuing apparatus before card generation. The apparatus communicates with the card management server to pre-verify user identity, approve card issuance, and receive authentication data in advance, enabling immediate card production without delivery delays
Solution Approach 2:
The card issuing apparatus enables users to complete the entire card issuance process on-site through self-service or assisted operations. The apparatus autonomously handles authentication, verification, card generation, and issuance without requiring external delivery services, allowing users to obtain cards immediately during their visit
3Reliability
If authentication data includes location information, then card issuance security is enhanced, but data transmission complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the identification code multi-functional by embedding multiple pieces of information (card issuing apparatus identification and geographical location) into a single code structure. This universal code serves both as a unique device identifier and as a location marker, eliminating the need for separate data fields and reducing transmission complexity
Data Source
AI summary
A system for controlling card issuance and a method therefor may be provided, wherein the method comprises: a card management server receiving a card issuance application from a user's electronic device; a card issuing apparatus requesting and receiving authentication data in response to a request; the apparatus generating an authentication code based on the data and displaying the code; the electronic device recognizing the code and performing verification with the server, the apparatus requesting and receiving an authentication result, and in response to authentication completion, the apparatus generating a card by writing information onto a provisional card and issuing the card. The present disclosure can improve the convenience, promptness, efficiency, and/or reliability of card issuance.
