Identity Card Data Verification via Intermediary Check Codes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for verifying personal data in customer traffic are insecure, leading to high costs due to misappropriated identities and forged documents, with employees manipulating credit checks to conclude contracts, and current legal restrictions limit direct data transfer from document readers to computer systems.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the calculation of verification codes using a specific algorithm, transmission through a multi-level cryptographic protocol, and comparison on a database server to ensure accurate matching of biographical data, using a short and secure check identifier, and optionally incorporating a hash value for additional security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If biographical data is directly transferred from document reader to computer system, then verification efficiency is improved, but data protection regulations are violated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a document number as an intermediary element. Instead of directly transferring biographical data from the document reader to the computer system, the system first reads the document number, uses it to retrieve associated biographical data from a database, and then performs verification. This intermediary approach maintains verification efficiency while complying with data protection regulations that prohibit direct transfer of sensitive biographical information.
2Ease of operation
If credit check is bypassed by re-entering customer name with typos, then contract conclusion is facilitated, but company security is compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system automatically verifies whether the entered name matches the document data. If a mismatch is detected (indicating a possible typo or intentional bypass attempt), the system provides feedback by alerting the employee and preventing contract conclusion. This feedback loop maintains ease of operation for legitimate cases while blocking fraudulent attempts to bypass credit checks.
3Measurement precision
If manual verification of biographical data is performed, then data accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-storing biographical data in a database during document issuance or registration. When verification is needed, the system already has the reference data ready, eliminating the need for manual comparison. The automated system quickly retrieves and compares data, maintaining high accuracy while minimizing processing time.
4Productivity
If employees are incentivized with placement bonuses per contract, then productivity is improved, but fraud risk increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated feedback controls that monitor and verify each contract conclusion. The system checks whether the customer's presented document matches the data in the database and whether credit checks were properly performed. This feedback mechanism allows employees to maintain high productivity through bonuses while the automated system prevents fraud by blocking suspicious transactions, thus decoupling productivity incentives from fraudulent behavior.

AI summary
A method for verifying personal data in customer transactions, in which a first verification mark is initially calculated based on the personal data using a first algorithm in a verification device for detecting forged identity documents, this first verification mark is transferred to a computer terminal, preferably electronically, then a second verification mark is calculated in the computer terminal based on the personal data using the same first algorithm, and the first and second verification marks are compared for consistency in the computer terminal, whereby the personal data is transferred to a database server if the first and second verification marks match.
