Solution Overview

Problem

Static mobile wallet items, such as airline boarding passes and event tickets, cannot accommodate changes in underlying data like flight status or event schedules, requiring frequent issuance of new static items, which is inefficient.

Innovation Solution

Implementing dynamic mobile wallet items that allow for updating of elements like flight information and barcodes, using a system that retrieves and generates updated data based on metadata, enabling real-time changes without requiring new static items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static mobile wallet items are used, then offline accessibility is maintained, but the items cannot accommodate changes in underlying data requiring frequent issuance of new items

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to accommodate data changesVSAvoidfrequency of item replacement
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic mobile wallet items where barcode data can be updated in real-time through a dynamic data element that receives updates from a data source. This allows the same wallet item to adapt to changing underlying data (flight status, event schedules) without requiring replacement, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and replacement frequency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a dynamic data element as an intermediary between the static wallet item and the underlying data source. This intermediary receives updates from the data source and modifies the barcode data accordingly, enabling the wallet item to accommodate data changes while maintaining its physical form and offline accessibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If static mobile wallet items are issued frequently to reflect data changes, then data accuracy is improved, but system efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidsystem efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent establishes continuous data flow from the data source to the dynamic data element, which continuously updates the barcode data. This continuous update mechanism ensures data accuracy without requiring frequent manual re-issuance of wallet items, thereby maintaining system efficiency while improving reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The dynamic data element automatically receives and processes updates from the data source without requiring manual intervention. The system self-updates the barcode data in real-time, ensuring data accuracy while eliminating the inefficiency of manual item re-issuance processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If dynamic mobile wallet items are implemented, then real-time updates are enabled, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser convenienceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the wallet item into static elements (wallet structure, design) and a dynamic data element (barcode data). This segmentation allows the dynamic portion to be updated independently through automated data reception, providing real-time updates to users while containing system complexity to a specific modular component rather than the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Various embodiments herein each include at least one of systems, methods, and software for dynamic mobile wallet items. One embodiment in the form of a method includes receiving, via a network, a dynamic mobile document request associated with a registered user and including a token associated with data to be included in the dynamic mobile document. The method may then retrieve data for the dynamic mobile document from a database based at least in part on the token and an identifier of the registered user and then continue by transmitting, via the network, the retrieved dynamic mobile document data and data indicating how the dynamic mobile document is to be provided to the registered user to a dynamic mobile document generation service, the dynamic mobile document generation service to generate and provide the dynamic mobile document to the registered user.
