Temporary Communication Number Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current user identity verification methods, such as short message verification codes, are insecure and unreliable, leading to low success rates and poor user experience due to interception risks and unpredictable delivery.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that generates a temporary communication number for identity verification, allowing users to initiate a call from their registered communication number to a verification server, enabling secure verification through a voice channel by matching recorded data with call request data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If short message verification codes are used for identity verification, then the verification process is simple to implement, but the security is low due to easy interception by third parties or Trojans
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a temporary communication number as an intermediary between the user's real communication number and the verification system. This intermediary protects the user's actual number while enabling verification, thus resolving the contradiction between ease of implementation and security by adding a protective layer without complicating the overall process
2Ease of operation
If short message verification codes are used for identity verification, then the system is easy to operate, but the success rate is low due to unpredictable delivery and arrival rate issues
Solution Approach 1:
The temporary communication number serves as a reliable intermediary that guarantees message delivery. By routing verification codes through this controlled intermediary channel, the system achieves both ease of operation and high success rate, as the intermediary ensures proper delivery without requiring users to change their behavior
3Loss of time
If traditional verification methods are used, then the process is quick, but the reliability is low due to interception risks during transmission
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-allocating temporary communication numbers to users before verification is needed. This preparation in advance allows for secure, intercept-proof verification to occur quickly when needed, resolving the contradiction between speed and security by having protective measures already in place

AI summary
A user identity verification method is disclosed. The method includes receiving an identity verification request sent by a user through a client terminal; determining a user communication number according to the identity verification request and generating a corresponding temporary communication number for the user communication number; recording the user communication number and the temporary communication number as first data; returning the temporary communication number to the client terminal; receiving a call request initiated by the user to the temporary communication number; determining a respective user communication number and a respective temporary communication number corresponding to the call request as second data; verifying whether the first data matches with the second data; and returning a verification result to the client terminal. The method can improve security and reliability of identity verification, reduce a user's waiting time, and enhance user experience.
