Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems fail to provide real-time verification and authentication of identities and documents during transactions, making them vulnerable to fraud, especially in electronic communications and financial transactions.

Innovation Solution

A method and system that utilize a mobile communication device to receive and authenticate security credentials, including one-time access codes, biometric identifiers, and user information, through a secure transaction environment, involving a distributed ledger database like blockchain, to verify identities and ensure secure transactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional electronic communication systems are used for transactions, then convenience and efficiency are improved, but security and trust are worsened due to vulnerability to fraud

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransaction efficiencyVSAvoidtransaction security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary identity verification and authentication before transactions occur. Identity verification modules verify the identities of all parties involved in advance, and authentication modules authenticate digital signatures and documents before they are exchanged, preventing fraud rather than detecting it after the fact.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediary components including identity verification modules, authentication modules, and a secure transaction environment that mediates between transacting parties. These intermediaries verify identities, authenticate documents, and provide a trusted framework for electronic transactions without compromising efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If real-time verification and authentication systems are implemented, then fraud risk is reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraud prevention capabilityVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal secure transaction environment that can handle multiple types of transactions and verification requirements through a single integrated system. The identity verification modules, authentication modules, and secure environment work together to provide multi-functional fraud prevention across diverse transaction types, reducing the need for separate specialized systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If identity verification and authentication processes are added to electronic transactions, then trust is improved, but transaction speed is worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity verification accuracyVSAvoidtransaction processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

Identity verification and authentication are performed preliminarily and automatically as part of the transaction initiation process. The system verifies identities and authenticates documents in advance, so that once verification is complete, the actual transaction can proceed rapidly without repeated checks, maintaining both accuracy and speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system employs automatic self-verification mechanisms where the identity verification modules and authentication modules automatically validate identities and digital signatures without requiring manual intervention. This automated self-service approach maintains high verification accuracy while minimizing delays in transaction processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A method for verifying identities of parties to a transaction includes receiving a login attempt from a mobile communication device, the login attempt including a security credential. The method determines that the security credential of the login attempt from the mobile communication device is authentic. The method communicates a one-time access code to the mobile communication device. The method receives a one-time entry code and mobile communication device information from the mobile communication device. The method determines that the one-time entry code and the mobile communication device information from the mobile communication device satisfies the communicated one-time access code and predetermined user mobile communication device information. The method provides by the mobile communication device access to a secure transaction environment.
