Server-Based Electronic ID Data Provision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing methods for secure electronic provision of user information using electronic ID cards are hindered by the necessity of card readers and complex software, particularly for contactless chip cards, which are not widely available and difficult to install and operate securely.
Innovation Solution
A method where user information from an electronic ID card is transmitted once to a server device, allowing subsequent access without the need for hardware on the user's communication terminal, with secure selection and transmission of data elements, and authentication features to prevent unauthorized access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If card readers and complex software are used to transmit user information from electronic ID cards, then secure transmission of user information is achieved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the user information from the electronic ID card and stores it on a server. The server then provides this information to using devices without requiring the user to have card reading capabilities. This separates the data storage function from the user's communication terminal, eliminating the need for card readers and complex software on user devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary between the electronic ID card and the using device. The server receives user information from the card, stores it securely, and provides it to requesting devices. This intermediary handles the complexity of secure storage and transmission, while users only need simple communication terminals.
2Ease of manufacture
If card readers are required for contactless chip cards, then user information can be read, but ease of operation deteriorates due to limited availability
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the data reading function from the user's communication terminal and relocates it to a server. The user's terminal only needs to communicate with the server, not directly read the electronic ID card. This eliminates the requirement for card readers on user devices, significantly improving ease of operation and hardware availability.
3Reliability
If complex software is used to control reading and transmission, then security is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates due to installation and operation complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the complex software functionality from the user's communication terminal and relocates it to a server. The server contains the sophisticated software for secure data handling, while the user's terminal only needs simple communication capabilities. This eliminates installation complexity for users while maintaining high security through server-side software.
Solution Approach 2:
The server automatically handles the complex tasks of secure data storage, authentication, and controlled distribution. Users simply need to send requests to the server, which then autonomously manages the secure provision of user information without requiring user involvement in complex security procedures.
4Speed
If user information is stored on the user's communication terminal, then access speed is improved, but security and data protection deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary that provides user information to using devices. The server maintains secure storage and controlled access, while still enabling fast provision of information to authorized devices. This intermediary architecture maintains both security and access speed by centralizing security management while enabling rapid data delivery when authorized.

AI summary
The method involves storing user information in a server device (101) that is connected with a communication network (202). The user information is transmitted to a server unit (203) by the server device based on a clearance message. The message is transmitted from a communication terminal (201) of a user to the server device over the communication network based on clearance requirement, which is transmitted from the server device to the terminal. The user information is transmitted to the server device for storing electronic identification of the user. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a server device for providing user information i.e. personal data, for an applying device (2) a system including a server device and a communication terminal of a user.
