Solution Overview

Problem

The rise of online interactions has led to the creation of fake identities, resulting in various forms of harm, including personal and physical threats, as users can create fraudulent profiles without verification, making it difficult to distinguish legitimate from fraudulent accounts.

Innovation Solution

An online identity verification system utilizing a multi-tier verification process that combines photographic, biometric, and documentation identification protocols, requiring users to create a unique online identity by registering personal data assets and linking them to a badge of authenticity, which includes biometric data and a visual badge, to ensure the authenticity of online accounts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If users can create personal profiles without verification, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to fake identities and fraudulent profiles

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of profile creationVSAvoididentity authenticity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs identity verification in advance before allowing users to create profiles. Government-issued identification documents are verified beforehand, and biometric data is collected and stored prior to profile creation. This preliminary verification ensures that only authenticated users can create profiles, eliminating fake identities while maintaining ease of operation for legitimate users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If multi-tier verification process is implemented, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases due to multiple verification protocols

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity verification accuracyVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification system is segmented into distinct modular components: document verification module, biometric data collection module, liveness detection module, and profile linking module. Each module performs a specific verification function independently, making the overall complex system manageable and maintainable while achieving high reliability through multiple verification layers.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If biometric data and documentation protocols are required, then measurement precision is improved for identity verification, but ease of operation deteriorates due to additional user requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentity verification precisionVSAvoidverification process convenience
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system captures biometric data directly from the user's own device (selfie photos, live video feeds) without requiring external equipment or complex procedures. Users take self-portrait photographs and record brief video clips using their smartphone cameras, making the precision biometric verification process convenient and accessible. The system automatically processes this user-generated content through AI algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

4Object-generated harmful factors

If verified accounts are required for interaction, then object-generated harmful factors are reduced, but productivity decreases due to verification requirements for all interactions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefraudulent activitiesVSAvoidinteraction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-generated harmful factorsVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The verification system creates a universal verified identity that users can leverage across multiple platforms and interactions. Once a user completes the verification process, their verified status and biometric authentication are recognized system-wide, eliminating the need for repeated verification for each individual interaction. This multi-functional verified identity enables efficient interactions while maintaining security.

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