Solution Overview

Problem

Existing online identity verification methods require simultaneous access to a camera and a mobile device to capture an image and an OTP code, making it impossible to verify identity using only a mobile device.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that generates a random code on a mobile device, sends it via text message, and processes both the user's image and the code on a composite screen for verification by a remote operator, allowing secure and efficient identity validation using only the mobile device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a camera and mobile device are used simultaneously to capture image and OTP code, then verification security is improved, but device complexity and accessibility worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification securityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the image capture and OTP code display functions into a single mobile device interface. The composite screen shows both the captured image and the OTP code together, eliminating the need for separate camera and mobile device operations. This integration maintains verification security while reducing device complexity and improving accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If an operator verifies identity simultaneously with image and OTP code, then authentication reliability is improved, but operation time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidoperation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing the image and generating the OTP code before the verification process begins. The composite screen is prepared in advance with all necessary elements (image and OTP code) displayed together, allowing the operator to verify identity without manual coordination steps, thus reducing operation time while maintaining authentication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If OTP code is sent via text message to mobile device, then communication reliability is improved, but code interception risk increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecommunication reliabilityVSAvoidcode interception risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces the mobile device as an intermediary that receives the OTP code via text message and immediately displays it within a protected interface. The code is not exposed in plain text during transmission or storage but is rendered only within the controlled environment of the mobile application, reducing interception risk while maintaining communication reliability through SMS delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An online verification method is described for verifying the identity of a subject comprising the steps of generating a random code associated with a subject to be identified; sending the random code to the mobile electronic device of the subject to be identified; receiving the random code on the mobile electronic device of the subject; acquiring by means of the at least one electronic image acquisition device of the mobile electronic device at least one first image representing the subject; processing in a single composite screen page comprising at least two images, the at least one first image representing the subject and a second image representing the random code. The invention further describes an online verification system for verifying the identity of a subject.
