Solution Overview

Problem

Existing computing systems confuse users when using alias user information, leading to inefficiencies and inaccuracies in managing and providing related user information within client applications, as they fail to adequately associate tokenized user information with corresponding user accounts, causing users to believe incorrect information is being populated in fillable forms.

Innovation Solution

A dynamic visual elements system that detects tokenized user account information, generates dynamic visual elements, and integrates them into user interfaces to clearly associate tokenized accounts with their corresponding user accounts, reducing user confusion and streamlining the process of populating fillable forms by providing selectable and overlay visual elements that link tokenized accounts to their corresponding user accounts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If alias user information is used for security reasons, then user security is improved, but user confusion increases because the system fails to adequately indicate meaningful relationships between alias user information and corresponding user information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser securityVSAvoiduser confusion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces visual indicators (icons, badges, or graphical elements) as intermediaries between the alias user information and the corresponding real user information. These visual elements serve as mediators that bridge the gap between the coded alias and the actual user identity, allowing users to understand the relationship without compromising security. The visual indicators are displayed alongside or near the alias information to provide contextual connection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes color coding and visual differentiation to indicate the relationship between alias user information and corresponding user information. Different colors or visual styles are applied to distinguish between alias entries and their associated real user identities, making the relationships visually apparent and reducing user confusion while maintaining security through the use of coded aliases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the system provides correct alias user information in fillable forms, then information accuracy is improved, but user perception of accuracy deteriorates because users believe incorrect information is being populated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation accuracyVSAvoiduser perception of accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements visual feedback mechanisms that provide users with immediate confirmation that the correct alias user information is being populated in forms. The system displays visual indicators or confirmation messages that show the user which alias is being used and its corresponding relationship to the real user identity, giving users confidence that the correct information is being submitted even though it appears coded or aliased.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Visual indicator elements serve as intermediaries between the system's internal alias mapping and the user's perception. These indicators are inserted into the user interface to bridge the gap between the coded alias information being populated and the user's understanding, providing visual confirmation that links the alias to its intended purpose without exposing sensitive real user information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If users backtrack within the client application to resolve confusion, then user control is improved, but system efficiency deteriorates due to needlessly repeated operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoidsystem efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by providing visual indicators and relationship information upfront, before users encounter confusion or need to backtrack. The system proactively displays visual cues that clarify the relationship between alias user information and corresponding user accounts in advance, preventing user confusion before it occurs and eliminating the need for backtracking and repeated operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical navigation process (users manually backtracking through the application to resolve confusion) with a visual information system. Instead of requiring users to physically navigate back through steps to understand relationships, the system uses visual indicators and contextual displays to provide immediate clarification, substituting the need for mechanical backtracking with visual information delivery.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

The present disclosure relates to utilizing a dynamic visual elements system to improve operations and interfaces of client applications by detecting when user accounts associated with tokenized or alternative account information are provided for user accounts, generating dynamic visual elements based on the tokenized account information, and intelligently integrating the dynamic visual elements into one or more user interfaces associated with fillable forms. In some implementations, the dynamic visual elements system generates and integrates selectable visual elements and/or visual overlay elements into user interfaces with respect to tokenized user account information in a manner that reduces visual clutter as well as eliminates user confusion regarding tokenized user accounts and their relationship to regular user accounts.
