Solution Overview

Problem

Current interactive terminals are unable to efficiently process multiple procedures based on various types of documents, leading to increased user and organizational time expenditure, reduced productivity, and inadequate risk assessment for identity and document authenticity.

Innovation Solution

A device and method that enable the selection of procedures, identification of necessary information, and request for additional information from users, utilizing image capture and processing, biometric analysis, and risk assessment to verify document authenticity and user identity, while allowing for multiple document types and procedures to be managed simultaneously.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional interactive terminals are used for document processing, then basic document exchange and remote communication are enabled, but processing efficiency remains low and productivity is not improved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidtime expenditure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically capturing document images, recognizing document types, extracting relevant information, and pre-processing data before the user reaches the counter. This reduces on-site processing time and improves overall efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The terminal enables self-service by allowing users to independently complete document submission, information verification, and procedure selection without requiring constant agent assistance, thereby reducing waiting time and improving productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Productivity

If multiple procedures and document types are processed manually, then flexibility is maintained, but processing time increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidmulti-procedure handling
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal is designed with multi-functionality to handle various document types (identity documents, certificates, forms) and multiple procedures simultaneously. The system automatically adapts to different document types through image recognition and type classification, maintaining versatility while improving processing speed.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The processing system segments different document types and procedures into distinct identification categories. Each document type is recognized and routed to appropriate processing workflows, enabling efficient multi-procedure handling without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If basic document verification is performed, then simple authentication is achieved, but risk assessment of identity and document authenticity is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity verificationVSAvoidverification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal acts as an intermediary verification system that collects biometric data (fingerprints, facial images) and document information, then transmits this data to remote servers for comprehensive authenticity verification. This multi-layered approach enhances security while managing complexity through distributed processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by comparing captured biometric data and document information against stored reference data. The verification process provides feedback on authentication results and risk levels, enabling automated decision-making and enhanced security assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
