Solution Overview

Problem

Existing techniques for managing digital identification information on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring complex user interfaces that consume time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of faster and more efficient methods and interfaces for managing digital identification information, which include displaying a user interface, receiving digital identification data from an external device, and controlling the display of this information based on specific criteria to conserve power and reduce user input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If existing techniques for managing digital identification information are used, then the information can be received and processed, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming, requiring multiple key presses or keystrokes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser interface complexityVSAvoidtime for user input
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically manages digital identification information by receiving it from external devices and determining whether to maintain access based on predefined criteria, eliminating the need for complex user interactions and multiple key presses

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system displays indications to users about received digital identification information and automatically processes it according to determined criteria, providing feedback loops that reduce manual intervention while maintaining user awareness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If existing techniques for managing digital identification information are used, then the information can be processed, but device energy is wasted, particularly in battery-operated devices

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoiddevice energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines whether to maintain access to received digital identification information based on predefined criteria, eliminating unnecessary processing and energy consumption while maintaining productivity through automated decision-making

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system selectively maintains or discards digital identification information based on determined criteria, avoiding energy waste by not retaining all received information and instead recovering only what meets the established criteria

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

3Ease of operation

If digital identification information is continuously displayed and accessed, then user access is maintained, but power consumption increases and battery life decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accessibilityVSAvoidbattery life
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The system selectively maintains access to digital identification information based on predefined criteria, discarding information that doesn't meet the criteria to conserve battery power while recovering and maintaining access only to information that is deemed necessary

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the state of information retention dynamically based on determined criteria, transitioning between maintaining and discarding information to optimize the balance between accessibility and power consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
