Solution Overview

Problem

Existing identity authentication methods rely solely on verifying identity information, failing to determine if the user inputting the information is the legitimate holder, resulting in low reliability.

Innovation Solution

The method involves obtaining biometric information from a terminal, matching it with prestored biometric information corresponding to the identity information, to confirm the user's legitimacy, using physiological features like facial or fingerprint data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If only identity information verification is used, then the authentication process is simple, but the reliability of authentication is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidauthentication system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines identity information verification with biometric information verification into a unified authentication system. The server integrates both authentication methods, requiring users to provide both identity information (such as ID card numbers) and biometric information (such as facial images or fingerprints) for comprehensive verification, thereby resolving the contradiction between simplicity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The authentication process is divided into distinct segments: identity information collection, biometric information collection, and separate verification steps. The server processes identity information and biometric information through different verification pathways before combining the results, allowing each component to be optimized independently while maintaining overall system reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If biometric information verification is added, then the authentication reliability is improved, but the operation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoiduser operation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs self-service biometric collection methods where users automatically provide their biometric information through devices like facial recognition cameras or fingerprint sensors. The biometric information is collected passively without requiring manual input from users, and the system automatically processes and verifies the data, maintaining ease of operation while enhancing reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If multiple verification methods are used, then the authentication accuracy is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication accuracyVSAvoidauthentication time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-registering and storing biometric information during account setup. During actual authentication, the pre-stored biometric templates are quickly compared against newly captured biometric data, significantly reducing verification time. The identity information is also pre-validated through third-party systems during registration, enabling faster authentication processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for identity authentication. An exemplary method may include obtaining biometric information for authentication collected by a terminal, and identity information sent by the terminal. The method may also include obtaining prestored biometric information corresponding to the identity information. The method may further include determining whether the biometric information for authentication matches the prestored biometric information. If yes, the method may include determining that the identity authentication is successful. Otherwise the method may include determining that the identity authentication is not successful.
