Solution Overview

Problem

Existing physical identification cards lack effective mechanisms for bidirectional trust verification during in-person transactions, particularly in scenarios where digital identification is used, as they are susceptible to spoofing and tampering, which can lead to unauthorized access and identity theft.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that generates a digital identification rendering on a computing device, incorporating indicators of authoritativeness, accuracy, and freshness, and triggers interactive effects via sensors, such as touch, motion, or geo-positioning, to validate the identity and authenticity of the card holder, using features like holographic effects and personalized triggers for enhanced security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If physical identification cards are used for identity verification, then identity authentication can be performed, but the system is susceptible to spoofing and tampering

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dynamics by transforming static physical identification cards into dynamic digital identification renderings that can change and interact in real-time. The digital rendering responds to sensor inputs (touch, motion, position) and updates trust indicators dynamically, making it resistant to spoofing while maintaining verification reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes visual changes including color transformations through interactive effects such as holographic effects, ripple effects, and dimensional extrusion effects. These visual changes occur in response to sensor triggers and convey trust indicators, making the identification difficult to replicate while providing clear verification signals.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Reliability

If digital identification rendering is used with interactive effects, then spoofing resistance is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespoofing resistanceVSAvoidinteractive security feature complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by enabling the computing device to automatically perform verification actions through sensor-triggered interactive effects. The system self-validates the digital identification rendering by detecting triggers (touch, motion, position) and automatically updating trust indicators without requiring external verification equipment, thus reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high spoofing resistance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If multiple trust indicators are displayed, then bidirectional trust is enhanced, but information processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebidirectional trust verificationVSAvoidtrust indicator processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a multi-functional trust indicator system where a single digital identification rendering integrates multiple verification functions. The same rendering displays authority indicators, data accuracy indicators, freshness indicators, and interactive effects simultaneously, allowing bidirectional trust verification without requiring separate systems for each indicator type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A computer-implemented method is described. The method includes generating, for display on a computing device, an identification rendering viewable on a display of the device, the identification rendering including an authority indicator and a digital image of a person. The method further includes the device triggering an interactive effect associated with the identification rendering. The triggering occurs in response to the device receiving a trigger input and the trigger can be from any input or communications sensor of the computing device. The triggered interactive effect includes an authority indicator and a freshness indicator that enables an individual viewing the display to validate the identity of the person associated with the digital image. Validation can be based on at least one of a characteristic of the interactive effect and attributes of the person or the authority indicator.
