Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data transfer systems are prone to errors due to similarities in user account information, leading to incorrect data transfers when users input erroneous account details, such as similar email addresses, resulting in data being sent to unintended online user accounts.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines identity information associated with input account information, identifies multiple account information pieces with a predetermined degree of similarity, and provides these to the user for confirmation before initiating the data transfer, ensuring accuracy and security by verifying the intended recipient account.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If direct data transfer is performed based on user input without verification, then operation speed is improved, but accuracy of data transfer deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer speedVSAvoidaccuracy of account information
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification by determining identity information associated with the input account information before executing the data transfer. This includes querying whether the account information exists and whether it belongs to the intended user, preventing erroneous transfers before they occur.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides feedback to the user by displaying verification results (whether the account information exists and belongs to the correct user) and requesting confirmation before proceeding with the transfer. This feedback loop ensures accuracy while maintaining operational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If account information verification is performed before data transfer, then accuracy of data transfer is improved, but operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity of data transferVSAvoidcomplexity of transfer process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-verification by automatically determining identity information associated with the input account information and checking its validity. This automated self-service approach reduces the need for complex manual verification procedures while maintaining high security standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The verification process is performed preliminarily and automatically before the transfer, determining identity information and confirming account validity. This preliminary action simplifies the overall process by handling complexity in the background rather than requiring complex user interactions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If multiple verification steps are implemented, then data transfer accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of recipient identificationVSAvoidtime for verification process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system determines identity information associated with the input account information preliminarily, before the transfer is initiated. This preliminary determination of identity information allows for accurate verification without requiring multiple sequential verification steps during the transfer process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides immediate feedback to the user regarding the verification status (whether the account information exists and belongs to the correct user), allowing for quick confirmation or correction. This feedback mechanism reduces time consumption by eliminating the need for multiple verification iterations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Account information, input by a user for data transfer, is received. Identity information associated with the received account information is determined. One or more pieces of account information associated with the determined identity information are determined. The one or more pieces of account information are determined based on a predetermined condition. The one or more pieces of account information include the received account information. The one or more pieces of account information are provided to the user. In response to receiving a user confirmation of the one or more pieces of account information, the data transfer is performed based on the user confirmation.
