Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for managing and using digital credentials on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring multiple key presses or keystrokes, wasting user time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
A method and interface that allows for efficient management and use of digital credentials by displaying a first user interface, receiving user inputs, and providing digital identification information upon satisfaction of authorization criteria, thereby reducing manual effort and conserving power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques for managing digital credentials are used, then digital identification can be provided, but the process requires multiple key presses or keystrokes which wastes user time and device energy
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-loading the second user interface and authentication mechanisms in the background before they are actually needed. When a digital credential request is initiated, the authentication interface is already prepared and can be presented immediately, eliminating the need for multiple sequential key presses and reducing the overall time required for credential access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple functions into a unified authentication system that handles both the presentation of the second user interface and the verification of user inputs within a single integrated process. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate sequential operations (multiple key presses) and streamlines the credential access process into a more efficient single interaction flow.

When a digital credential request is initiated, the authentication interface is already prepared and can be presented immediately, eliminating the need for multiple sequential key presses and reducing the overall time required for credential access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a mechanism to skip redundant user inputs by recognizing when the user has provided sufficient authentication information and automatically proceeding with the credential provision process. This allows the system to rush through unnecessary intermediate steps (redundant key presses) and reach the credential delivery stage more quickly, thereby reducing energy consumption.
3Productivity
If existing techniques for managing digital credentials are used, then digital identification can be provided, but the process is cumbersome and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the credential management process into distinct functional components: the first user interface for initiating requests, the second user interface for authentication, and the credential provision mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, reducing overall complexity while improving productivity by enabling parallel processing and reducing sequential dependencies.

AI summary
The present disclosure generally relates to digital identification credential user interfaces. A first application provides a request for digital identification information. A second application receive user input and, in response, provides the digital identification information to the first application.
