Mobile Key Enrollment in Wallet Apps With Fewer User Steps
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for enrolling and using a mobile key on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring complex user interfaces and consuming excessive time and device energy.
Innovation Solution
The development of faster and more efficient methods and interfaces for enrolling and using a mobile key, which reduce cognitive burden on users and conserve power in battery-operated devices, by detecting requests to add secure credentials and initiating processes for their addition and display within electronic wallet applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques for enrolling and using a mobile key are used, then secure credential functionality is provided, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming with multiple key presses or keystrokes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mobile key enrollment process into distinct phases: initiating from vehicle access, transitioning to device display, and completing within the electronic wallet application. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently, reducing overall complexity while maintaining security functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the electronic wallet application to receive and display the secure credential. The enrollment process is initiated from the vehicle side before the user interacts with the device, preparing the system in advance to minimize user steps.
2Productivity
If existing techniques for enrolling and using a mobile key are used, then secure credential functionality is provided, but excessive time is consumed during the enrollment and usage processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system initiates the enrollment process from the vehicle side before the user needs to interact with their device. The secure credential is prepared and transmitted in advance, so when the user opens the electronic wallet application, the credential is already ready for display and use, significantly reducing the time the user spends on enrollment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent enables the system to skip intermediate manual configuration steps by automatically transmitting and enrolling the secure credential through wireless communication protocols. The process rushes through the enrollment steps that would otherwise require multiple user actions, completing the enrollment in a single streamlined flow.
3Productivity
If existing techniques for enrolling and using a mobile key are used, then secure credential functionality is provided, but device energy is wasted during the enrollment and usage processes
Solution Approach 1:
The enrollment process is initiated and prepared in advance from the vehicle side, allowing the device to receive the secure credential through efficient wireless transmission rather than requiring the device to actively search or repeatedly attempt connections. This preliminary preparation reduces the duration and intensity of energy-consuming operations on the battery-operated device.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service enrollment where the electronic wallet application automatically receives, processes, and displays the secure credential without requiring multiple user interactions or repeated system attempts. The enrollment completes itself through automated workflows, minimizing the energy consumed by redundant processing and user interface operations.
Data Source
AI summary
A computer system performs techniques related to displaying a representation of a secure credential and using the secure credential. In some embodiments, a computer system detects that the computer system is physically near a vehicle. In some embodiments, a computer system permits a user access to use one or more functions of a vehicle using a secure credential.
