Solution Overview

Problem

The difficulty in verifying the identity of individuals on the Internet poses challenges in conducting transactions and prevents effective association within virtual communities, leading to potential abuse in chat rooms and dating services.

Innovation Solution

A computerized system that allows users to input personal and relationship data, generating individual-identifier data sets (IDS) for constructing a database of individuals and their relationships, with verification processes to enhance reliability and prevent misuse.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If individuals freely register and input data on the Internet, then ease of operation and accessibility are improved, but reliability of identity verification deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of registrationVSAvoididentity verification reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a trusted third-party verification service as an intermediary between individuals and the database system. This mediator verifies the authenticity of personal data during registration, ensuring reliable identity confirmation without complicating the user registration process. The verification service acts as a bridge that maintains both ease of operation and identity reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a verification process is implemented to confirm individual identities, then reliability of identity verification is improved, but device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity verification reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification system is segmented into distinct functional modules: data input interface, verification service, database construction module, and relationship mapping module. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining verification reliability. The modular architecture enables the verification process to be integrated without overwhelming system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If comprehensive relationship data is collected and verified, then reliability of database information is improved, but loss of time and processing resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedatabase information reliabilityVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary verification of relationship data during the registration process itself, rather than requiring separate verification steps later. Personal identifiers and relationship information are verified upfront when individuals first input their data, reducing the time required for subsequent data processing and database construction while maintaining high reliability standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method including entering individual-associated data bits (IDBs) into a computerized system, the set of data of each of the IDBs including at least one personal identifier of an individual and relationship data including data on one or more related individuals and the nature of the relationship, processing the entered IDBs on a processor, generating an individual-identifier data set (IDS) for each identified individual or one of the related individuals having data in the processed IDBs, and storing IDSs of identified individuals in a database.
