Solution Overview

Problem

Current digital identity management systems face challenges such as longer registration times and service provision errors due to the complexity of selecting and transmitting identity data from multiple providers, leading to inconsistencies and failures in service provision.

Innovation Solution

An electronic identity wallet method that selects and integrates identity data from certified identity providers into a unified profile, allowing for asynchronous transmission to service providers without involving the identity providers, thereby standardizing the identity data shared with each service provider.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the user manually selects identity data items from multiple identity providers, then the user maintains control over their data, but the registration time and service provision time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser control over dataVSAvoidregistration time
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates unified identity profiles by automatically collecting and organizing identity data from multiple providers in advance. When a service provider requests identity verification, the pre-prepared profiles are immediately available for transmission, eliminating the need for real-time manual selection and significantly reducing registration time while maintaining user control through prior authorization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic identity wallet automatically performs the selection and compilation of identity data from multiple providers without requiring user intervention during the service provision process. The system autonomously manages the aggregation of identity elements, selects appropriate data items based on service requirements, and transmits them asynchronously, freeing the user from time-consuming manual operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Quantity of substance

If identity data is collected from multiple identity providers, then the completeness of identity information improves, but the complexity of managing and selecting data from different providers increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of identity dataVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges identity data from multiple separate identity providers into a single unified profile structure within the electronic identity wallet. This consolidation integrates diverse identity elements (personal details, certification data, service history) from various sources into one coherent representation, maintaining data completeness while simplifying management by presenting a unified view rather than scattered data across multiple providers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The electronic identity wallet acts as an intermediary layer between multiple identity providers and service providers. It automatically manages the complexity of collecting, standardizing, and organizing data from different providers, handling the selection and compilation processes that would otherwise burden the user. This mediator function shields users from the underlying complexity while ensuring comprehensive data aggregation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If the system uses asynchronous transmission of identity data without involving identity providers, then the service provision speed improves, but the risk of service provision errors increases due to potential data inconsistencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice provision speedVSAvoidservice provision accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary validation and standardization of identity data during the profile generation phase, before asynchronous transmission to service providers. This advance preparation ensures data consistency and accuracy are established upfront, allowing fast asynchronous transmission without compromising reliability, as the data has already been verified and standardized against required formats and validation rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Methods for generating, providing and managing profiles of certified identities, and an electronic identity wallet. The method generates profiles of certified identities associated with a user account for an electronic identity wallet and includes: selecting, for a profile of certified identities, identity data from a set of identity data received from at least one certified identity provider associated with the user account; then integrating the selected identity data into the recipient profile of certified identities. This will reduce risks of service provision errors and service provision failures. This also reduces the time taken to transmit identity data via the electronic wallet, thus reducing the ongoing processing time taken by the service provider when requesting identity data, recording a new user, providing a service, etc.
