Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face inefficiencies and increased memory usage on devices due to the need to download multiple third-party applications to access various services, leading to competition for processing resources and the inability to enjoy services without these applications.
Innovation Solution
A method for user devices to securely initiate a communication session with a third-party device without a third-party application, using a reader device to verify user identity and provision digital assets directly onto the user device through a verification API and WiFi Aware technology.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If users download multiple third-party applications to access various services, then service accessibility is improved, but device memory usage and processing resource competition increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the core service access functionality from traditional third-party applications. Instead of requiring users to download complete applications, the system provisions only essential digital assets (tokens, credentials, service identifiers) directly to the device's secure element or wallet application. This extraction approach maintains service accessibility while dramatically reducing the memory and processing resources consumed, as users access services through a lightweight interface rather than full application binaries.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal wallet application that can access multiple third-party services without requiring separate applications for each service. The wallet application serves multiple functions: storing digital assets, authenticating with various services, and managing service access credentials. This multi-functional approach allows users to access diverse services through a single application, reducing overall device memory usage while maintaining broad service accessibility.
2Adaptability or versatility
If users download multiple third-party applications to access various services, then service accessibility is improved, but device processing resources are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts only the essential authentication and service access components from full third-party applications. By provisioning minimal digital assets (tokens, credentials) rather than complete applications, the device avoids running multiple heavy application processes simultaneously. This extraction significantly reduces CPU usage and energy consumption while maintaining the ability to access various services through the lightweight wallet interface.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses digital asset provisioning to create lightweight copies of service access credentials rather than copying full application code. These digital assets are stored in the device's secure element and referenced by the wallet application, allowing service access without duplicating the computational overhead of multiple full applications. This copying approach maintains service accessibility while minimizing processing resource consumption.
3Ease of operation
If third-party applications are pre-installed on user devices, then service access is enabled, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal wallet application that consolidates access to multiple third-party services into a single interface. Instead of requiring users to manage separate applications for each service, the wallet application provides unified access to all provisioned digital assets and services. This reduces device complexity by eliminating the need to install, update, and manage multiple separate applications while maintaining ease of service access through a consistent user experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service provisioning of digital assets directly to user devices without requiring manual application installation. The automated provisioning process delivers service credentials directly to the wallet application, reducing the complexity of application management. Users automatically receive and manage their service access credentials through the wallet interface, eliminating the need to manually download and configure multiple third-party applications.

AI summary
Techniques are described herein for reader initiated provisioning. An example method includes a device detecting a trigger to establish a connection with a second device. The device can receive a first input to verify an identity associated with the second computing device. The device receives from the second device, a first information item comprising identification information based at least in part on the first input. The device receives a comparison result from a server. The device receives a second input to provision a digital access asset onto the second device based on the comparison result. The device transmits, to the second device, the digital access asset based at least in part on the second input.
