Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for generating and distributing personal credentials lack real-time updates and reliability, often providing stale or biased information, and are not effectively applicable to various real-life situations, especially for spontaneous professional interactions.

Innovation Solution

A system that includes a processor and data repository, enabling network-based access for registering user accounts, geolocation facilities to determine proximity, and account data-collection facilities to dynamically gather and display real-time credentials, integrating geolocation proximity with business credentials on mobile devices.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional systems generate and distribute personal credentials, then credentials can be provided to users, but the information becomes stale and unreliable over time

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovereliabilityVSAvoidtimeliness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors and updates credential information from multiple online sources in real-time, ensuring that credentials remain current and reliable. The continuous collection and updating process eliminates stale information while maintaining constant availability of accurate data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where users can verify and update their own credential information, and the system cross-validates against multiple external sources. This feedback loop ensures high reliability by catching and correcting inaccuracies promptly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If systems collect and store personal credential information, then users have access to their credentials, but false or biased information may be propagated

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetrustworthinessVSAvoidfalse information
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges data from multiple independent online sources (social media, professional networks, LinkedIn, etc.) to create a comprehensive and cross-validated credential profile. By combining information from diverse sources, the system reduces the impact of false or biased information from any single source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system acts as an intermediary between users and credential information, providing a verified and contextualized view of credentials rather than raw data from any single source. This intermediary layer filters and validates information before presenting it to users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If the system provides detailed real-time credentials, then users get comprehensive information, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments credential information into distinct categories (personal information, professional credentials, education, employment history, etc.), allowing users to access specific types of information as needed. This segmentation manages complexity by organizing data into manageable, purpose-specific modules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides a universal credential collection framework that can gather and display multiple types of information through a single integrated platform. The same system architecture handles diverse credential types (social media profiles, professional certifications, educational records) without requiring separate systems for each.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

System generating real-time gathering partner credentials. Processor provides network-based access to user interface registering and maintaining first and second users' accounts. Processor communicates with first and second mobile communication devices in possession of users. Processor executes processor commands of users. Data repository is coupled with processor for storing first and second account data of user accounts. Account data include URIs to be accessed for dynamic collection of real-time first and second user credentials information. Account data are associated with first and second unique usernames of users. Processor includes geolocation facility determining indication of real-time geolocation proximity between mobile communication devices. Processor includes account data-collection facility responsive in real-time to processor command of first user dynamically collecting real-time second user credentials information. Processor causes real-time gathering partner credentials of second user, including indication of real-time geolocation proximity and real-time second user credentials information, to be displayed by first mobile communication device.
