Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional remote identity proofing systems are vulnerable to fraud, including stolen identities and forged documents, and lack continuous verification, leading to security concerns and data privacy issues, especially in digital transactions.

Innovation Solution

A supervised remote identity proofing (SRIP) system that uses a manager to orchestrate sessions between identity stations and trusted agents, capturing and relaying multimedia data to ensure identity proofing, verification, and validation, with continuous monitoring of session integrity and separate communication channels for control and multimedia data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If unsupervised systems are used for identity verification, then automation is improved, but security and reliability deteriorate due to vulnerability to fraud and forged documents

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveautomationVSAvoidsecurity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a trusted agent as an intermediary human element who supervises the automated identity verification process. The trusted agent receives multimedia data from the identity station, verifies the authenticity of documents and biometric data, and makes final determination decisions. This mediator approach combines automation with human expertise to maintain high security while achieving automated verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where the trusted agent receives real-time multimedia data (video, audio, images) from the identity station, evaluates the authenticity of the enrollee's identity, and provides feedback decisions. The system monitors connection integrity and session continuity, adjusting the verification process based on observed conditions to maintain both automation and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Ease of operation

If remote connection methods are used for identity verification, then ease of operation is improved, but reliability deteriorates due to inability to establish real-world identity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoididentity verification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maintains continuous multimedia data collection and transmission throughout the verification process. The identity station continuously captures video, audio, and images of the enrollee, and the trusted agent continuously monitors this data stream to verify identity in real-time. This continuous observation ensures reliable identity verification while maintaining remote operation convenience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The identity station serves multiple functions: capturing video, audio, and images; relaying data to the trusted agent; monitoring connection integrity; and facilitating the complete verification process. This multi-functional approach consolidates operations into a single remote interface, improving ease of operation while maintaining verification reliability through comprehensive data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If biometric identification measures are incorporated, then security is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the verification system into distinct functional components: the identity station (enrollee-side device for data capture), the trusted agent station (operator-side device for evaluation), and the communication channel between them. Each component has specific responsibilities, and the trusted agent manually evaluates biometric data rather than using automated complex systems, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

The present disclosure relates the establishment and management of supervised remote identity proofing, validation, or verification (SRIP) sessions. For example, one or more embodiments include a system, comprising: memory to store computer executable instructions; and one or more processors that execute the computer executable instructions to implement a SRIP manager configured to orchestrate SRIP session assignments amongst a plurality of SRIP trusted agent stations, and monitor connection integrity during an SRIP session between an SRIP trusted agent station and an SRIP identity station. The SRIP identity station can be configured to capture multimedia data to facilitate an identity proofing, verification, and/or validation operation. Also, the SRIP trusted agent station can be configured to receive the multimedia data to proctor the identity proofing operation. The computer executable instructions can further be executed by the one or more processors to implement a worker module configured to relay the multimedia data between the SRIP identity station and the SRIP trusted agent station via one or more multimedia communication channels.
