Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods lack an effective way to authenticate user identities based on online browsing records, particularly for law enforcement purposes where identifying users across different online activities is crucial.

Innovation Solution

A device and method utilizing a neural network to analyze browsing records, create user profiles, and compare them to determine identity authentication by matching browsing habits, implemented in a system with modules for data acquisition, profile generation, comparison, and confirmation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional identity authentication methods are used, then user privacy is protected, but law enforcement cannot identify users online

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity authentication accuracyVSAvoiduser privacy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments browsing records into multiple dimensions including URL categories, time patterns, device information, and behavioral features. This segmentation allows the system to analyze specific aspects of browsing behavior without exposing complete user identity information, thereby balancing authentication accuracy with privacy protection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces browsing behavior profiles as an intermediary between raw browsing data and user identity identification. Instead of directly linking browsing records to user identities, the system creates behavioral profiles that serve as a mediator, enabling law enforcement to identify users through matched behavior patterns without direct exposure of personal information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If browsing records are analyzed in detail, then user identification accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebrowsing habit matching accuracyVSAvoidneural network system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-processing browsing records into structured features and pre-training neural network models with browsing behavior data. This preliminary preparation reduces the complexity of real-time analysis by converting raw data into standardized formats that can be efficiently processed during authentication operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical or rule-based analysis systems with neural network-based machine learning models. This substitution enables the system to handle complex, multi-dimensional browsing data more efficiently, achieving high measurement precision without proportionally increasing system complexity through automated pattern recognition.

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

3Reliability

If comprehensive browsing data is collected, then authentication reliability improves, but data processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity authentication reliabilityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by selecting and analyzing only the most discriminative browsing features rather than processing all available data equally. The system identifies key behavioral indicators that provide sufficient authentication reliability while reducing the overall data processing burden and time requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

An identity authentication device includes a communication unit configured to establish communication with a plurality of online servers, a processor, and a storage configured to store a user profile database including a number of user profiles, wherein each of the user profiles corresponds to an online browsing habit. The processor receives an online browsing record of a user, compares the received online browsing record to the online browsing habits of the user profiles stored in the user profile database to determine whether the received online browsing record matches one of the online browsing habits, and determines whether the received online browsing record belongs to a same user of a matched one of the user profiles according to a result of comparison.
