Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tools lack the ability to aggregate information from diverse sources, integrate with social networking systems, verify information accuracy, and maintain integrity during the process of collecting consumer profile information, particularly for defined roles requiring specific skill sets and credentials.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for obtaining consumer profile information from multiple sources, authenticating information related to work, personal, or business profiles, and verifying accuracy using defined parameters and system interface constructs, including access to remote systems like universities, patent offices, and social networking platforms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If information is collected from multiple diverse sources, then comprehensiveness of consumer profile information is improved, but verification difficulty and system complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the verification process into distinct functional modules including a discrimination module that separates verified from unverified information, an authentication module for credential verification, and a profile assembly module. This modular architecture allows each component to handle specific verification tasks independently, managing complexity while processing information from multiple diverse sources.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces intermediary verification mechanisms including authentication modules that act as mediators between information sources and the consumer profile. These intermediaries verify credentials through third-party sources (universities, employers, licensing boards) before integrating information into the profile, thereby managing verification complexity through structured intermediary processes.
2Loss of information
If information from multiple sources is aggregated, then completeness of consumer profile is improved, but information accuracy and verification difficulty worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback loops where the discrimination module continuously verifies information against authentication criteria and returns verification status. The authentication module receives feedback from multiple sources (social networking systems, universities, employers) and adjusts verification decisions based on consistency across sources. This feedback mechanism ensures accuracy while maintaining completeness by only integrating verified information.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary authentication and verification actions before integrating information into the consumer profile. The authentication module pre- verifies credentials against third-party sources, and the discrimination module pre-screens information for consistency and validity. This preliminary action ensures that only accurate information is aggregated, maintaining reliability while achieving completeness.
3Reliability
If verification processes are enhanced, then information integrity is improved, but processing time and operational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification actions by pre-authenticating credentials against third-party sources before they are needed for profile completion. The authentication module proactively verifies educational credentials, employment history, and licensing information in advance, reducing processing time when the profile needs to be finalized while maintaining high verification standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service verification where consumers can directly authenticate their own credentials through integrated social networking systems and digital credential repositories. This self-service capability reduces processing time by eliminating manual verification steps while maintaining integrity through automated authentication protocols.
