Authentication Registration Simplification via Dual Identification Association
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The process for registering information for authentication can become complicated, particularly in systems that rely on multiple identification methods and require user-specific function restrictions.
Innovation Solution
A processing apparatus that receives first identification information from a communication device and second identification information input by a user, determines if registration is permitted by a management apparatus, and associates these information types for registration, enabling authentication using either set of information, thus simplifying the registration process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple identification methods are implemented for user authentication, then authentication reliability is improved, but the registration process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple identification methods (IC card information and operation unit input) into a single unified registration process. The control unit integrates both identification information sources and stores them together, allowing users to register once while enabling both authentication methods simultaneously, thus maintaining reliability while reducing procedural complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The registration system is designed to accept and process multiple types of identification information through a single interface. The control unit can handle both IC card-based identification and operation unit-based identification within the same registration flow, making the system multi-functional without requiring separate registration procedures for each method
2Reliability
If IC card information and operation unit information are both required for registration, then authentication security is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary acquisition of IC card information before requiring operation unit input. By pre-fetching and storing the IC card data, the system reduces the cognitive load on users and streamlines the registration flow, making the dual-information requirement feel less burdensome while maintaining security
Solution Approach 2:
The control unit automatically manages the integration and association of both identification information types without requiring manual coordination from the user. The system self-service aspect includes automatic validation, association, and storage of both information sources, reducing the operational burden on users while ensuring security requirements are met

AI summary
A processing apparatus includes a process performing unit, an operation unit, a processor and memory. The processing apparatus receives first identification information from a communication device, acquires second identification information input by the operation unit, determines whether registration of the first and second identification information is permitted, registers registration information in which the first and second identification information are associated, when the first identification information is received after registering the registration information, performs authentication based on the first identification information, and, when the second identification information is acquired after registering the registration information, performs authentication based on the second identification information. In both cases where the authentication has been performed based on the first and second identification information, the process performing unit performs the specific process by using information managed in association with the registration information.
