Mobile Identity Authentication via Pre-Bound Device Identifiers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current identity authentication methods, particularly in a mobile and electronic world, face challenges in efficiently and quickly authenticating users across various transactions, often requiring traditional log-ins or additional validation steps, which can be inconvenient and prone to delays or errors due to changes in user accounts or device porting.
Innovation Solution
The implementation of a method for mobile identity authentication (MIA) that utilizes a database entry system to verify a user's mobile account status and IMSI, allowing for batch processing and reducing the need for traditional log-ins by confirming the persistence of a user's mobile identity through a network of service providers, thereby enabling timely and accurate authentication.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional log-in methods are used for identity authentication, then security is maintained, but authentication time increases and user convenience decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary identity binding between mobile device identifiers (IMEI, IMSI, phone number) and user identities before transactions occur. This pre-established binding allows for rapid authentication during transactions without requiring traditional log-in steps, thus reducing authentication time while maintaining security through the pre-verified identity linkage.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a digital copy of user identity information stored in the mobile device (such as device identifiers and bound identity data) that can be rapidly presented and verified during transactions. This copied identity information enables fast authentication without requiring the user to manually input credentials, thereby reducing authentication time while maintaining verification accuracy.
2Reliability
If additional validation steps are implemented for identity authentication, then authentication accuracy improves, but device complexity and user操作流程 complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple identity verification elements (device IMEI, SIM card IMSI, mobile phone number, and user identity) into a single bound identity relationship stored in the system. This consolidation allows the authentication system to verify user identity through a unified process rather than requiring separate validation steps for each element, thereby maintaining authentication accuracy while reducing system and operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The bound identity system serves multiple functions: it acts as a unique user identifier, a security credential, and a transaction authorization token. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate validation mechanisms for different authentication purposes, reducing system complexity while maintaining comprehensive verification capabilities across various transaction types.
3Productivity
If real-time identity authentication is implemented across a network, then transaction speed improves, but network infrastructure complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts critical identity verification data (device identifiers and bound identity information) and stores it locally in the mobile device and in a centralized database. This extraction allows the authentication process to rely on pre-stored data rather than requiring complex real-time queries across the entire network infrastructure, thereby enabling fast transaction processing while simplifying network requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary data preparation by pre-binding user identity information with device identifiers and storing this bound identity data in both the centralized system and the mobile device. This preliminary action enables rapid authentication during transactions through simple data comparison rather than complex real-time verification, thus improving transaction speed while reducing the computational burden on network infrastructure.
