Identity Document Verification via Embedded Data Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current identity registration and access control methods fail to authenticate identity documents, leading to fake accounts and inconvenience in sharing member data across websites, as they lack mechanisms to verify the authenticity of user-provided identity data and prevent unauthorized use.
Innovation Solution
A method involving a user-end computer apparatus with an image-capturing module, optical character recognition, and communication module to retrieve and verify identity data from identity documents equipped with a computing unit, ensuring the document belongs to the user through partial or full matching of analyzed and embedded data, and providing third-party certification for secure access control.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If identity registration relies solely on user-provided identity data, then the registration process is simple and fast, but the system cannot authenticate the authenticity of identity data and fails to prevent fake accounts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an image-capturing module as an intermediary device that photographs the identity document and extracts embedded identity data. This intermediary mechanism enables automatic verification without requiring manual data entry, thus maintaining registration speed while significantly improving verification reliability through automated authentication of the identity document's authenticity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual identity data entry and verification with automated optical character recognition and image analysis processes. The system uses computer vision technology to capture, recognize, and verify identity document data automatically, eliminating the need for manual mechanical processes while enhancing both efficiency and verification accuracy.
2Reliability
If existing registration processes require users to provide identity document images for checking, then identity verification is attempted, but without mechanisms to verify document authenticity or ownership, fake accounts remain unaddressed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the identity document itself as a copy verification mechanism. The system photographs the identity document and extracts embedded data from it, using the document's own embedded information to verify its authenticity. This self-verification approach through copying the document's data eliminates the need for external verification databases, maintaining reliability while reducing system complexity.
3Reliability
If access control prevents websites from sharing member data, then data security is maintained, but users experience inconvenience by repeating registration and identity-certification processes across different websites
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service identity verification system where users capture their own identity documents using their personal devices. The embedded identity data within the documents enables automatic verification without requiring manual data entry or repeated certification processes. This self-service approach maintains data security through automated verification while significantly improving user convenience by eliminating repetitive registration steps.

AI summary
A method of registration and access control of identity for third-party certification is provided. The method has steps of registration and steps of access control. The steps of registration have: controlling a user-end computer apparatus to retrieve an identity image of an identity document of a user; executing processes on the identity image for obtaining identity data; retrieving embedded identity data from the identity document; and configuring and registering the identity data if the data are matched with each other. The steps of access control have: controlling the user-end computer apparatus to verify user's identity upon reception of request of identity access, and generating and returning return identity data to a request-end computer apparatus.
