Digital Pass Segmentation for Secure User Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Customers face difficulties in tracking and remembering personal information, such as sizing and preferences, especially in online shopping scenarios where trying on items is not possible, and existing digital pass technologies lack user-editable and non-editable information storage and presentation.
Innovation Solution
A digital pass system for mobile devices that stores and presents user-editable and non-editable information, including sizing and preference data, using a combination of image-based and editable components, allowing real-time updates and secure user verification through biometric security, enabling seamless integration with mobile wallets and online applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If digital pass stores comprehensive personal information, then information availability improves, but security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The digital pass is segmented into multiple components: a static image portion containing identification data and a separate editable text portion containing personal information. This segmentation allows the system to store comprehensive personal information while protecting sensitive data by requiring verification to access or modify the editable portion, thus reducing fraud risk while maintaining information availability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism (biometric authentication or code verification) that mediates between the stored personal information and external access requests. This intermediary layer ensures that while comprehensive information is stored in the digital pass, unauthorized access or fraudulent use is prevented through required verification steps before accessing or modifying the editable portion.
2Reliability
If digital pass includes both image-based and editable components, then information reliability improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The digital pass is divided into distinct segments: an image-based portion for static identification data and an editable text portion for dynamic personal information. This segmentation structure improves reliability by maintaining stable identification data separately from editable information, while the complexity is managed through a clear modular architecture that is straightforward to implement and maintain.
3Loss of information
If digital pass enables real-time updates, then information currency improves, but security vulnerabilities increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements an intermediary verification mechanism that must be satisfied before any updates to the editable portion can be made. This mediator (biometric authentication or verification code) ensures that real-time updates can occur when needed while preventing unauthorized modifications, thus maintaining information currency without introducing security vulnerabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
Different security measures are applied to different portions of the digital pass. The image-based portion remains static and highly protected, while the editable text portion allows updates with verification. This local differentiation of security qualities enables real-time updates where needed while maintaining high security for critical identification data.
Data Source
AI summary
A system and method for generating and utilizing a digital pass with user verification and autofill formatted data is disclosed. Initially, a request is received for the digital pass to be generated for a user. The request includes identification (ID) information that is added to a database. An image is defined for the digital pass, the image incorporating at least a portion of the ID information therein and being editable only by the digital pass management system. The digital pass, which includes the image and a non-image portion that is editable by the user, is generated. At least a portion of the ID information is autofill formatted ID information for utilization with at least some portion of an application. The digital pass is transmitted to the user's mobile device.
