Digital Identification Enrollment System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Physical identification cards are susceptible to fraud and counterfeiting due to preset security features, and customers face inconvenience when their information changes, requiring new cards to be printed and mailed.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented method for provisioning digital identifications that allows customers to carry and present digital forms of physical identification on portable electronic devices, incorporating multiple security and anti-counterfeiting features, using a digital identification server, issuing authority, and customer device to manage and update customer information securely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If physical identification cards with preset security features are used, then identification verification is enabled, but the system becomes susceptible to fraud and counterfeiting when security features are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic security features in digital identification cards that can be updated and changed remotely. Unlike static physical cards with preset security features, the digital cards allow the issuing authority to dynamically update customer information and security parameters without requiring physical card replacement, thereby maintaining security reliability while adapting to information changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows changing of identification parameters (customer information, security features) in digital cards through remote updates. When customer information changes, the issuing authority can modify the digital card parameters instantly, whereas physical cards would require complete reissuance. This parameter change capability resolves the contradiction between maintaining security and adapting to information changes.
2Reliability
If new physical identification cards are printed and mailed when customer information changes, then updated identification is provided, but the process is time-consuming and inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical physical card issuance system with a digital electronic system. Instead of printing and mailing physical cards through postal services, the system uses digital delivery mechanisms to instantly provision updated identification cards to customers' mobile devices, eliminating the time loss associated with physical card replacement while ensuring information accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary verification and preparation of updated identification information before delivery. The issuing authority validates customer information changes and prepares the updated digital card in advance, then delivers it instantly to the customer's device, eliminating the waiting time associated with physical card production and mailing processes.
3Reliability
If digital identification with multiple security features is implemented, then protection against fraud and identity theft is enhanced, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a digital card issuer as an intermediary that manages the complexity of multiple security features. The intermediary handles the generation, distribution, and validation of digital identification cards with embedded security features, thereby enhancing fraud protection while shielding customers from the underlying system complexity through a simplified user interface and automated processes.

AI summary
In some implementations, a computer-implemented method and system for enrolling customers into a digital identification program may include obtaining, from a digital identification database, customer information that describes a customer, providing to the customer device an access code for activation, receiving a request from the customer device for the digital identification, where the request includes the access code and customer information that describes the customer, providing a request for secure information that describes the customer from a secure information database, receiving the secure information that describes the customer stored in the secure information database, generating the digital identification for the customer based on the secure information and the customer information, and providing the digital identification to the customer device.
