Digital Identity Certificate for Fast Anonymous Service Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for verifying user access to services, products, or places, such as age verification for betting, are time-consuming and invasive, leading to customer dissatisfaction and reluctance to access these services.
Innovation Solution
A method and device using a digital certificate created from a user's identification document, including a photograph and characteristic, which is validated and stored on a device, allowing secure and rapid access by comparing the photograph with the user's face, and optionally encoded into a QR code for verification by operators.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional identity verification methods are used, then access control reliability is improved, but verification time and user inconvenience increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-processing and storing user identification data, photographs, and extracted characteristics in a database before actual verification is needed. This allows rapid retrieval and comparison during verification without requiring real-time manual checking, thus reducing verification time while maintaining reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a digital copy of the user's identification document and extracted characteristics, storing them in a database. During verification, this pre-stored digital copy is compared with the current identification data, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual verification processes while ensuring accurate access control.
2Measurement precision
If manual identity checks are performed, then verification accuracy is improved, but user experience and accessibility deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual mechanical verification processes with automated digital comparison systems. The extracted characteristics and photographs are digitally stored and automatically compared with current identification data, eliminating the need for manual checking while maintaining or improving verification accuracy and significantly enhancing user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service verification where users can provide their identification data and the system automatically processes and verifies it against stored records. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and improves both verification accuracy through consistent digital comparison and user experience through automated processing.
3Reliability
If comprehensive identity verification is implemented, then security is improved, but data privacy and user anonymity are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the necessary characteristics and photographs from the identification document, separating these essential elements from the rest of the document data. By storing and processing only these extracted features rather than the complete document, the system maintains security through verification while preserving user anonymity by not storing or processing unnecessary personal information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by processing and storing only specific localized information (photographs and extracted characteristics) from the identification document rather than the entire document. This selective processing maintains security for verification purposes while minimizing data retention and preserving user anonymity for other aspects.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for a computer aiding access to a service by a device provided with data acquirer and communicator. The service being accessible only subject to at least one condition. After having obtained identification data of a user, from the data acquirer and from an identification document, the identification data comprising at least one photograph of the user and a characteristic of the user, are transmitted to a validation system. In response, a validation confirming the validity of the identification document is received. A digital certificate comprising a photograph of the user and the characteristic obtained is then created and stored. The digital certificate configured to be used to obtain the characteristic and the photograph. The photograph is compared to a real face to validate the characteristic. The service being accessed in response to the validation of the characteristic.
