DOI Encoding for Identity Type Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for using digital object identifiers (DOIs) in service processing are cumbersome, as they allow only unidirectional one-time information transmission, limiting the exchange of information between service parties and requiring additional operations from service providers.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that generate and display a DOI including both basic user information and pre-authenticated identity type information, enabling service providers to obtain necessary identity type information for providing corresponding services without additional information transmission.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only basic user information is included in the DOI, then the DOI remains simple and easy to scan, but additional service operations are required to obtain identity type information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines basic user information and identity type information into a single DOI structure. The DOI now encodes both the user's basic identifier and their authenticated identity type (such as student, teacher, citizen, etc.), eliminating the need for separate information transmission steps and allowing service providers to access all necessary information in one scan.
Solution Approach 2:
The identity type information is pre-authenticated and embedded into the DOI before the service interaction occurs. This preliminary action of authenticating and encoding the identity type into the DOI structure ensures that when the DOI is scanned, the service provider immediately receives verified identity information without requiring additional verification steps.
2Device complexity
If unidirectional one-time information transmission is used, then the DOI structure remains simple, but information exchange between service parties is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The DOI structure is enhanced to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both a basic user identifier and a carrier of authenticated identity type information. This multi-functional DOI can support various service scenarios (education, government services, commerce, etc.) without requiring different code structures, as the same DOI encoding method accommodates diverse identity types.
3Productivity
If additional identity type information is added to the DOI, then service providers can provide tailored services directly, but the DOI encoding complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the information parameters encoded in the DOI by incorporating identity type classification data alongside basic user information. The encoding scheme uses parameter expansion to include categorized identity types (such as educational institution types, government department types, etc.), allowing service providers to directly determine appropriate service protocols based on the encoded parameters without additional processing.
Data Source
AI summary
A digital object identifier (DOI) display request is received. A service type of a service corresponding to the display request is determined. Basic user information of a first user and identity type information corresponding to the service type is determined based on the service type and stored calibration information, where the identity type information is pre-authenticated to ensure validity based on a validity period associated with the identity type information. A DOI of the first user is generated based on the basic user information and the identity type information. The DOI is displayed for a second user to perform service processing based on the basic user information and the identity type information in the DOI.
