Identity Document Microcircuit Terminal Identifier Comparison
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing identity documents with microcircuits lack flexibility in configuring and managing additional functionalities, and ensuring compatibility with existing terminal networks and information management systems, as they require changes to these systems for implementing new features.
Innovation Solution
A method in an identity document with a microcircuit that receives a terminal identifier, compares it with stored identifiers, and performs actions based on the comparison, allowing for the transmission of data, authentication, and dynamic management of biometric and marking data, including quality adjustments and counter increments, without necessitating changes to the terminal networks or information systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If identity documents are equipped with microcircuits and communication means, then data transmission capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The microcircuit autonomously performs identifier comparison and determines actions to be executed based on the comparison result, without requiring external system intervention. This self-service capability enables the identity document to independently manage data transmission and functionality activation, resolving the contradiction between enhanced data transmission capability and increased device complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If additional functionalities are added to identity documents, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The identity document implements dynamic functionality management where the microcircuit activates or deactivates specific functions based on the identifier comparison result. This dynamic approach allows the document to adapt to different terminals and scenarios without permanently incorporating all possible functionalities, thereby improving adaptability while controlling device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-configures multiple identifiers and corresponding actions in the microcircuit during manufacturing. This preliminary action enables the identity document to instantly activate appropriate functionalities based on the terminal identifier comparison, providing high adaptability without requiring complex real-time decision-making infrastructure.
3Ease of operation
If identifier comparison and action determination are implemented in the microcircuit, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The microcircuit autonomously receives terminal identifiers, performs comparisons with stored identifiers, and determines actions to be executed without external intervention. This self-service mechanism simplifies operation for users and external systems while the internal complexity is encapsulated within the microcircuit's processing logic.
Solution Approach 2:
The complex identifier comparison and action determination logic is extracted and embedded within the microcircuit of the identity document, separating this functionality from external terminal systems. This extraction improves ease of operation for external systems while containing the complexity within the document itself.

AI summary
Disclosed is a method implemented in an identity document including a microcircuit and a unit enabling the microcircuit to communicate with a terminal, the microcircuit being designed to permit the transmission of data obtained (directly or indirectly) from data memorized in a storage zone in response to a request received from the terminal, furthermore including the following steps: reception by the microcircuit of an identifier of the terminal; at least partial comparison of the identifier of the terminal and of at least one portion of an identifier stored in the microcircuit; and performance of a set action depending on the result of the comparison. An identity document in which such a method is implemented is also described.
