Digital Object Identifier Form Filling Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional form filling methods are error-prone, complex, and lack security and versatility, especially when using public terminals or in different application scenarios, as they require storing form information on terminals or servers, leading to security concerns and limited applicability.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a first terminal scanning a digital object identifier generated by a second terminal, which includes an operational source identifier and item to be filled, allowing the first terminal to obtain information content from a pre-stored correspondence relationship or through auxiliary devices and send it to a server for automatic form filling, without storing user information on the second terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If form information is stored automatically on a terminal, then form filling efficiency is improved, but security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between terminals and form information. Instead of storing form information directly on terminals, the system uses a server to store and manage the information. The server acts as a mediator that provides form information to terminals when needed, thus improving security while maintaining filling efficiency. This resolves the contradiction by moving the storage location from terminal to server, eliminating the security risk of terminal storage while preserving the automation benefit.
2Extent of automation
If form information is stored on a terminal, then automatic form filling is enabled, but versatility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal system where a server stores form information that can be accessed by multiple terminals across different scenarios. The server-based storage allows any terminal to retrieve and use the stored form information, making the automatic filling capability universally applicable. This resolves the versatility problem by enabling cross-terminal and cross-scenario access to form information, unlike terminal-specific storage which is limited to single-device use.
3Adaptability or versatility
If all user information is stored on a server, then automatic form filling across terminals is improved, but server complexity and burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary form information from complete user profiles and stores only what is needed for form filling on the server. Instead of storing all user information, the system selectively extracts and stores only the form-relevant data. This resolves the server burden problem by minimizing storage requirements while maintaining the cross-terminal automatic filling capability. The extraction principle allows the server to be lightweight while still providing universal access benefits.
Data Source
AI summary
A form filling method and related terminals are disclosed. The method includes scanning, by a first terminal, a digital object identifier generated by a second terminal; acquiring an operational source identifier of a form to be filled and item(s) to be filled from the digital object identifier; acquiring information content(s) corresponding to the item(s) to be filled from a pre-stored correspondence relationship between the information item(s) and the information content(s) and/or through an auxiliary device of the first terminal; and sending the information content(s) corresponding to the item(s) to be filled and the operational source identifier to a first server correspondingly, to enable the second terminal to acquire the information content(s) corresponding to the item(s) to be filled from the first server based on the operational source identifier to fill in the form. As can be seen, in the present disclosure, form information of the user does not need to be stored in the second terminal, thus improving the security. Furthermore, the second terminal may acquire the information content(s) corresponding to the item(s) to be filled regardless of how the item(s) may have been changed, thus being applicable to a number of different application scenarios.
