Interactive Security Token Carrier Dynamic Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional security token cards provide limited security as they can be easily obtained maliciously and display all token information, making them vulnerable to unauthorized access.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for generating an interactive security token carrier that associates token information with pre-set location information, using security data and public information to protect the token carrier, ensuring it is only displayed during interaction and only partial information is shown, thus enhancing security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional security token cards are used, then they are easy to obtain and distribute, but they can be easily obtained maliciously and display all token information making them vulnerable to unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static token card into a dynamic interactive security token carrier that responds to user operations. The token information is dynamically displayed based on user interactions such as clicking or swiping, rather than being statically visible. This dynamic behavior prevents malicious users from simply reading all token information at once, while still allowing authorized users to access the information through proper interaction sequences.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the token information display into multiple parts or stages. Instead of displaying all token information at once, the system divides the information display into sequential segments that are revealed only after specific user interactions. This segmentation ensures that even if the carrier is obtained maliciously, not all token information is immediately accessible.
2Ease of operation
If all token information is displayed on the security token card, then users can access all information at once, but malicious users can obtain and misuse all token information
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements dynamic information display where token information is revealed based on user interaction states. Authorized users can access all token information through proper interaction sequences, while malicious users who simply obtain the carrier cannot access the information without performing the required interactions. This dynamic display mechanism balances accessibility with security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs visual state changes to indicate different information display states. The interactive security token carrier changes its visual appearance or displays different information based on the interaction state, allowing authorized users to progress through information layers while preventing unauthorized access to the complete token information set.
3Reliability
If security data is added to protect the interactive security token carrier, then illegal users cannot obtain the carrier easily, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses software-based interactive security token carriers that can be distributed as digital copies rather than physical cards. This copying approach allows the security functionality to be replicated across multiple devices without the complexity of manufacturing and distributing physical security tokens. The security data is embedded in the software copy, providing protection while maintaining ease of distribution.
Solution Approach 2:
The interactive security token carrier is designed as a universal platform that can function across different devices and operating systems. By creating a multi-functional carrier that works on various platforms, the system reduces the need for device-specific security implementations, thereby lowering overall system complexity while maintaining strong security protection through centralized security data management.
Data Source
AI summary
A method and an apparatus for generating a security token carrier, which belong to the field of data security, are disclosed. The method may include: generating multiple pieces of token information, establishing a relation which associates the token information with location information of a pre-set interactive security token carrier; obtaining security data which is set by a user for protecting the interactive security token carrier; and generating the interactive security token carrier by using the token information, the relation, the security data and public information of the interactive security token carrier. The apparatus may include: a token information processing module, a security data obtaining module and an interactive security token carrier generating module.
