Event Credential Re-registration System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current event registration systems require users to go through a new registration process for subsequent events, often involving different service providers and lacking seamless re-registration options, leading to missed opportunities for re-enrollment and upselling during the registrant's pleasurable experience.
Innovation Solution
A method utilizing a microprocessor-based computer system to provide a credential for a first event, allowing users to automatically register for a second event by scanning and submitting the credential, independent of service provider support and execution steps, leveraging portable electronic devices for quick and simple re-registration.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users complete a new registration process for subsequent events through service providers, then event access is granted, but re-registration time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically registering users for subsequent events using data from their previous event credentials before the new event occurs. The microprocessor-based computer system retrieves stored registration information and completes re-registration in advance, eliminating the need for users to manually re-register after each event.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates and uses a copy of the user's previous event credential information to automatically complete re-registration. The credential data from the first event is copied and reused for the second event registration process, avoiding the need for users to re-enter personal and financial information.
2Reliability
If users complete a new registration process for subsequent events, then event access is granted, but operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service re-registration by automatically processing credential verification and registration completion without requiring users to manually interact with service providers. The microprocessor-based computer system autonomously retrieves credential data, verifies it against the credential database, and completes registration for subsequent events.
Solution Approach 2:
The microprocessor-based computer system acts as an intermediary between the user's credential and the event registration system. It receives credential representations, verifies them against stored data, and facilitates automatic re-registration, eliminating the need for users to directly engage with complex service provider systems.
3Adaptability or versatility
If service providers manage event registration, then registration control is maintained, but re-registration opportunities are lost when service providers change
Solution Approach 1:
The credential system is designed to be universal and service-provider-independent. The microprocessor-based computer system can verify credentials and perform automatic re-registration regardless of which service provider organized the original event or which service provider manages the subsequent event, enabling seamless cross-provider re-registration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses feedback from credential verification to trigger automatic re-registration actions. When the microprocessor-based computer system verifies a credential representation against the database, it receives confirmation of validity and automatically initiates registration for subsequent events, ensuring no registration opportunities are lost.

AI summary
Today an individual attending an event must undertake a second registration and purchasing sequence in order to attend a subsequent occurrence of the event. However, by the time they remember to re-register their interest may have waned or the event is sold out. In other instances, they forget even though the event does not sell out. Accordingly, it would be beneficial to provide registrants of an event with a means to re-register for the next occurrence of the event in a manner that was quick, simple, independent of execution of the registration/purchase steps with a service provider, and independent of completion of service provider support for the next event. Further, it would be beneficial to leverage the credential provided to the registrant for the current event in progress or just completed in the re-registration of the registrant for the next event. It would be further beneficial for said method to leverage the technology and devices of portable electronic devices associated with the registrant.
