Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Automated identification techniques, such as QR codes, are limited by one-way communication and static data storage, which hinders their effectiveness in tasks requiring two-way interaction and dynamic data updates.
Innovation Solution
A system that allows users to configure guided personal identity-based actions by linking user-specified tasks to identifiers, enabling dynamic data retrieval and execution through an application server, which facilitates actions like social networking, messaging, and device pairing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automated identification techniques like QR codes are used, then information sharing is enabled, but two-way communication capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that enables two-way communication between devices. The server receives data from one device, processes it, and sends responses back, thereby mediating the communication interaction and overcoming the one-way limitation of traditional QR codes while maintaining ease of use.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extends the functionality of automated identification techniques to perform multiple functions including not only information sharing but also two-way communication, data retrieval, and interaction with external services. This multi-functionality is achieved by integrating server-based processing with the identification system.
2Ease of manufacture
If automated identification techniques are used, then data storage is simplified, but data update capability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms static data storage into dynamic data retrieval by introducing server-based systems that can provide frequently updated information. The identification technique no longer stores all data locally but rather serves as a key to dynamically retrieve current data from remote servers, enabling continuous updates without complicating the storage mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the identification technique and the data storage system, allowing simplified local storage while enabling dynamic access to updated data through network communication. This mediator architecture resolves the contradiction between storage simplicity and data freshness.
3Device complexity
If automated identification techniques are used, then data transfer capacity is limited, but implementation complexity is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional QR codes to three-dimensional communication by adding a server-based layer. This dimensional extension enables significantly larger data transfer capacity through network communication while keeping the local implementation simple, as the complex data handling occurs on the server rather than in the identification technique itself.
Data Source
AI summary
Systems and methods for guided personal identity based actions are provided. In example embodiments, a user-specified action from a first user device of a first user is received. The user-specified action pertains to the first user and uses data of the first user when performed. The user-specified action is linked to an identifier. An indication of the identifier is received from a second user device of a second user. In response to receiving the indication of the identifier, the user-specified action linked to the identifier is identified, the data of the first user is accessed, a user interface that includes an option to perform the user-specified action using the data of the first user is generated, and the generated user interface is presented on the second user device.
