Identity Verification URI Generation for Third-Party Service Registration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Service providers face challenges in implementing a user-specific identity verification process that meets the unique registration requirements of third-party services, while providing a seamless and user-friendly experience.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the receipt of configuration data from a third-party service, generation of a URI for an identity verification application, distribution of the URI to a user's device, and subsequent configuration of the application to facilitate the identity verification process, allowing the user to register with the third-party service.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a customized identity verification process is implemented for each third-party service, then the reliability of user registration is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a service as an intermediary component that mediates between the user's device and the third-party service. The service receives configuration data from the third-party service, generates a URI for the identity verification application, and distributes it to the user's device. This intermediary architecture allows customized verification processes for different third-party services without requiring direct complex integrations in each device, thus improving registration reliability while managing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification system is segmented into distinct functional components: the third-party service that defines verification requirements, the intermediary service that coordinates the process, and the user's device that executes the verification. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, with the intermediary service handling the complexity of customization while keeping the device implementation relatively simple.
2Adaptability or versatility
If configuration data is distributed to each user's device for customized verification, then the adaptability of the verification process is improved, but the loss of information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) as a compact copy or reference to the full configuration data. Instead of transmitting complete configuration datasets to each user's device, the service generates a URI that points to the verification application and its configuration. This URI acts as a lightweight copy that contains essential routing information while minimizing data transmission, thus improving adaptability while reducing information loss.
3Ease of operation
If a seamless user experience is provided during registration, then the ease of operation is improved, but the time required for verification increases
Solution Approach 1:
The service performs preliminary actions by pre-generating the URI for the identity verification application and distributing it to the user's device before the actual verification process begins. This allows the verification application to be ready and configured in advance, so when the user initiates registration, the process can start immediately without delays related to application installation or configuration, thus improving ease of operation while minimizing verification time.
Data Source
AI summary
A method of registering a user with a third-party service using an identity verification process, comprising receiving configuration data from the third-party service. The configuration data comprises a user number associated with the user of the third-party service; and application data associated with the third-party service. The configuration data is used to generate a uniform resource identifier, URI, for an application associated with the identity verification process, distributing the URI to a device associated with the user; and receiving a notification from the device indicating that the user has accessed the URI. In response to receiving the notification, at least part of the configuration data is sent to configure the application on the device in order for the user to perform the identity verification process, associated with the third-party service, to register with the third-party service.
