Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The risk of data forgery and difficulty in performing strict identity verification in electronic applications using personal devices like smartphones or PCs, particularly for administrative procedures, is high, making it challenging to ensure the authenticity of identity verification media.
Innovation Solution
A photographing device equipped with a camera, reading means, same-person determination means, and authenticity determination means to verify the identity of the applicant by comparing images and information from an identity verification medium, ensuring the authenticity and same-person criteria are met before outputting the application image to a server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If electronic applications use personal devices like smartphones or PCs, then convenience and accessibility are improved, but security and reliability of identity verification deteriorate due to high risk of data forgery
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a dedicated photographing device as an intermediary between the applicant and the administrative procedure system. This device serves as a trusted mediator that performs standardized photographing and identity verification, bridging the gap between convenient electronic applications and secure verification requirements. The device captures images and verifies identity on behalf of the system, preventing direct use of personal devices while maintaining electronic application convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The photographing device performs self-verification of identity by automatically comparing the captured image with the image on the identity verification medium. The device autonomously determines whether the person being photographed matches the person on the ID card, eliminating the need for manual verification by officials and enabling automated security checks in the electronic application process.
2Reliability
If face-to-face verification is performed manually, then security and reliability of identity verification are improved, but productivity and efficiency of administrative procedures deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical verification processes with automated optical and computational systems. The photographing device uses a camera to capture images, a reading device to scan identity verification media, and computer processing to compare images and determine identity. This substitution eliminates manual face-to-face verification while maintaining security, thereby improving productivity and efficiency of administrative procedures.
3Reliability
If strict identity verification is implemented, then security and reliability are improved, but device complexity and operational difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple verification functions into a single integrated photographing device. The device merges photographing capabilities, identity verification medium reading, image comparison processing, and authenticity determination into one unified system. This consolidation reduces operational complexity despite the sophisticated verification processes, as users interact with a single device that handles all verification steps automatically.
Data Source
AI summary
A photographing device can realize electronic applications by performing strict identity verification. A photographing device reads surface information on an applicant's ID card (an identity verification medium) or data on an IC chip by using a reading device, a camera, an IC card reader, or the like. Also, the camera captures an application image that is to be used for an application procedure. A control unit (a same-person determination unit) of the photographing device compares the surface information read from the ID card or an image of the person contained in the IC chip with the captured application image to determine whether the person is the same or not. Further, the control unit (an authenticity determination unit) determines authenticity of the ID card based on the information read from the ID card.
