Secure Waybill Issuance Using Virtual Personal Information
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for managing waybills in online shopping face issues of personal information leakage and fraudulent issuance due to the need for customers to input actual personal information, which is stored in multiple systems, increasing the risk of exposure and inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A system and method using blockchain technology and virtual personal information to manage waybill issuance, where actual personal information is stored securely using blockchain and only virtual personal information is used for delivery, with checks to prevent fraudulent issuance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If actual personal information is stored in multiple systems (online shopping malls and hub systems), then delivery services can be processed, but the risk of personal information leakage increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts actual personal information from the delivery processing system by introducing virtual personal information as a substitute. The virtual personal information is used for waybill generation and delivery processing, while actual personal information is kept separate and not stored in the delivery system, thereby eliminating the leakage risk while maintaining delivery functionality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces virtual personal information as an intermediary between the delivery system and actual personal information. This intermediary allows the delivery system to function without directly handling or storing sensitive actual personal information, thus preventing leakage while enabling delivery services
2Ease of operation
If customers input actual personal information for each online shopping mall, then delivery information can be provided, but the convenience of ordering is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by having customers register their actual personal information once in advance. This registered information is then used to generate virtual personal information that can be reused across multiple online shopping malls, eliminating the need to re-input information for each order and significantly improving convenience
3Object-affected harmful factors
If virtual personal information is used instead of actual personal information, then personal information leakage is prevented, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses copying by creating virtual personal information as a copy or representation of actual personal information. This virtual copy contains the necessary delivery details (name, address, phone number) in an anonymized form that can be used for delivery processing without exposing the actual personal information, thus preventing leakage while maintaining system functionality

AI summary
Provided enables more safe and convenient output of a waybill without personal information leakage by using virtual personal information instead of actual personal information when a customer purchases a product from each online shopping mall, checking an online shopping mall customer order number to prevent fraudulent issuance of the waybill when outputting the waybill, and not storing identity information of the customer in a primary product supplier system and a subordinate product supplier system of the online shopping mall, and is characterized by including a customer terminal, a secure waybill management means, a shopping mall system, a primary product supplier system, secondary to Nth product supplier systems.
