Mobile Device Electronic ID Verification System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Individuals face inconvenience and time-consuming processes when replacing multiple forms of identification, such as driver's licenses or other IDs, especially after losing their physical copies, as they need to obtain and verify each ID separately across various systems.
Innovation Solution
A mobile device-based system that communicates with an ID provider to retrieve and display electronic IDs, streamlining the verification process by correlating information across multiple systems without compromising privacy, using a network involving ID presenters, requestors, and providers, with components like processors, communication interfaces, and databases for secure ID verification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If physical identification forms are carried and replaced manually, then identification can be verified, but time consumption and inconvenience increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates digital copies of physical identification documents stored in a database. When verification is needed, the system retrieves and displays the digital copy instead of requiring the physical document. This eliminates the need to carry, lose, and physically replace multiple ID forms, directly resolving the time consumption and inconvenience issues.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of carrying physical IDs, locating them, and presenting them for verification with an electronic system. The mobile device communicates with the database to retrieve and display identification information electronically, substituting the mechanical manual verification process with automated electronic retrieval and display.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple physical ID forms are maintained across different systems, then comprehensive identification coverage is achieved, but complexity and difficulty of management increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal identification system where a single database stores multiple types of identification information (driver's license, passport, social security card, etc.). The mobile device can retrieve and display any of these identification forms as needed, providing comprehensive identification coverage across multiple systems while managing all IDs through one centralized electronic platform rather than multiple separate physical documents.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges multiple separate physical identification documents and their verification processes into a single integrated electronic system. The database consolidates storage of various ID forms, and the mobile device provides a unified interface for retrieving and displaying any identification information, combining what were previously separate manual management tasks into one streamlined process.

AI summary
A method may include forwarding, by a mobile device, a request for identification information associated with a user of the mobile device. The method may also include receiving, from an identification provider, the identification information, and displaying, by the mobile device, at least some of the identification information.
