Innovation Solution

Implementing methods and interfaces that include displaying liveness and identity check user interfaces, with criteria-based credential addition and transmission, to streamline the enrollment and management of digital credentials, reducing manual effort and conserving power.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing techniques for enrolling and managing digital credentials are used, then security verification is achieved, but user interface complexity and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity verificationVSAvoiduser interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the credential enrollment process into distinct phases: credential input, automatic liveness detection, and automatic identity verification. Each phase is handled independently with automated transitions, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining comprehensive security checks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically conducting liveness checks and identity verification without requiring user initiation. The device autonomously captures biometric data, processes it through verification algorithms, and completes the enrollment process, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex verification interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If existing techniques for enrolling and managing digital credentials are used, then security verification is achieved, but time consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity verificationVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously monitoring and pre-processing biometric data in the background before credential enrollment is initiated. Liveness detection and identity verification are prepared in advance, so when the user provides credentials, the verification process completes rapidly without requiring additional user time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent maintains continuous useful action by performing liveness detection and identity verification as ongoing background processes rather than discrete user-initiated steps. The system continuously captures and analyzes biometric data streams, ensuring that verification is always ready to complete immediately when credentials are provided, eliminating waiting time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

3Reliability

If existing techniques for enrolling and managing digital credentials are used, then credential security is maintained, but device energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecredential securityVSAvoiddevice energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs periodic action by conducting liveness detection and identity verification only at specific intervals and triggers, such as when credential enrollment or authentication is initiated. Rather than continuously activating verification processes, the system remains in a low-power state and activates verification routines only when needed, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action

4Reliability

If complex user interfaces with multiple key presses are used, then comprehensive verification is achieved, but ease of operation decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification completenessVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically conducting liveness checks and identity verification without requiring user initiation. The device autonomously captures biometric data, processes it through verification algorithms, and completes the enrollment process, eliminating the need for users to navigate complex verification interfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple verification functions into a single integrated process. Liveness detection, identity verification, and credential enrollment are combined into one seamless workflow that the user initiates with a single action, while the system handles all verification steps automatically in the background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
