Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for enrolling and using mobile keys on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, requiring complex user interfaces that consume time and device energy, particularly in battery-operated devices.
Innovation Solution
The development of faster and more efficient methods and interfaces for enrolling and using mobile keys, which include detecting requests for secure credentials, initiating processes for adding these credentials, and displaying user interfaces for electronic wallet applications, thereby reducing cognitive burden and conserving power.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used for enrolling and using mobile keys, then the enrollment process can be completed, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The enrollment process is divided into distinct phases: initialization phase where the system prepares the enrollment environment, credential presentation phase where credentials are displayed, and selection phase where users choose credentials. This segmentation simplifies the interface by showing only relevant information at each step rather than presenting all options simultaneously.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting when a user intends to enroll a mobile key, pre-fetching available credentials, and preparing the enrollment interface before the user explicitly requests it. This reduces the cognitive burden on users as the system anticipates their needs and prepares appropriate options in advance.
2Productivity
If existing techniques are used for enrolling mobile keys, then the enrollment can be completed, but excessive time is consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects user intent to enroll a mobile key through various triggers (proximity detection, application activation, etc.) and initiates the enrollment process without requiring users to navigate through multiple menus or settings. The system self-configures the enrollment parameters and automatically manages the credential selection process, significantly reducing the time users spend on enrollment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to skip intermediate steps in the enrollment process by providing direct access to credential selection and authorization. Users can rapidly progress through the enrollment flow by selecting credentials from pre-displayed options without being forced to complete unnecessary intermediate configurations or confirmations.
3Productivity
If existing techniques are used for mobile key operations, then the functions can be accessed, but device energy is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses periodic detection mechanisms to monitor for enrollment opportunities rather than continuously processing enrollment requests. The device periodically checks for conditions indicating user intent (such as proximity events, application states, or system triggers) and only activates the enrollment interface when such conditions are detected, reducing unnecessary processor activity and power consumption during normal operation.
