Solution Overview

Problem

The existing account information modification methods are inefficient and insecure, requiring users to manually request and reapply for interaction links, which expire quickly, and are vulnerable to unauthorized access if the communication account is compromised.

Innovation Solution

An information processing method that allows users to directly receive and query account operation requests and identity identification information, displaying an account operation interface to input interaction data and credentials without needing a manual customer service link, thereby improving efficiency and security.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual customer service sends interaction links for account modification, then account information security is improved through controlled access, but account operation efficiency deteriorates due to long modification periods and repeated reapplication

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount information securityVSAvoidaccount operation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to directly access and modify their account information through self-service functionality. Users can input their communication account and automatically retrieve and modify account details without requiring manual customer service intervention, thereby eliminating the need to repeatedly apply for interaction links while maintaining security through verification mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-generates access tokens or session identifiers that remain valid for extended periods, allowing users to access account modification functions without repeatedly requesting new interaction links. This preliminary preparation of access credentials resolves the contradiction by enabling efficient repeated access while maintaining security controls.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If interaction links have time validity for security purposes, then account information security is improved, but user experience deteriorates due to expiration requiring reapplication

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount information securityVSAvoiduser experience
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the validity period parameter of access tokens from short-duration expired links to long-duration valid session identifiers. This parameter modification allows users to access account modification functions multiple times without reapplication, improving user experience while maintaining security through the underlying token validation mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If users must apply for account modification through customer service, then account information security is improved through verification, but modification period extends causing efficiency loss

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccount information securityVSAvoidmodification period
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables users to directly input their communication account and automatically retrieve account information for modification without requiring customer service verification. The automated verification process occurs in the background, maintaining security while reducing the modification period from hours or days to minutes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the manual mechanical process of customer service verification with an automated electronic verification system. The server automatically validates user identity through communication account verification and retrieves account information, substituting human intervention with automated processes that significantly reduce time loss while maintaining security standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

One or more implementations of the present specification provide information processing methods, apparatuses, and devices, and computer readable storage mediums. In an implementation, an information processing method includes: when a user is in a non-login state, receiving an account operation request and identity identification information sent by a terminal device of the user; querying account information corresponding to the identity identification information in response to the account operation request; sending a first display instruction to the terminal device when the account information is found, so that the terminal device displays an account operation interface for the account operation request, where the account operation interface is used to receive account operation interaction data of the user and an identity credential corresponding to the identity identification information.
