Problem

Current systems lack a unified and centralized method for identifying individuals across different training and health sectors, making it difficult for entities to verify the qualifications and certifications of professionals and for individuals to manage their health and training data effectively, leading to inefficiencies and potential fraud.

Innovation Solution

A unified identification protocol using decentralized blockchain technology to generate unique, non-transferable identifiers for individuals, entities, and transactions, allowing for secure data management and verification across multiple systems, ensuring authenticity and reducing fraud.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a unified identification protocol using decentralized blockchain technology is implemented, then reliability and fraud reduction are improved, but device complexity and implementation difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveverification accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the identification protocol into distinct functional modules: identifier generation module, data management module, verification module, and blockchain integration module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining reliability through modular verification processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a centralized identification authority as an intermediary that issues and manages identification protocols, acting as a trusted mediator between individuals and service providers. This intermediary layer simplifies the verification process by centralizing trust management while the underlying blockchain technology ensures data integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If decentralized blockchain technology is used for data management, then security and individual control are improved, but ease of operation and data accessibility deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata securityVSAvoiddata accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service capabilities where individuals can independently generate their own identification protocols, manage their health and training data, control access permissions, and verify credentials without requiring manual intervention from service providers. This empowers users to maintain data security while simplifying their interaction with the system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The identification protocol is designed as a universal system that can be applied across multiple sectors including health, training, and professional certification. The same protocol handles diverse functions such as data storage, access control, verification, and credential validation, improving ease of operation through consistency while maintaining security across different applications.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If a comprehensive unified identifier system is implemented across multiple sectors, then adaptability and data unification are improved, but device complexity and implementation cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecross-sector applicabilityVSAvoidimplementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal identification protocol that functions across health, training, and professional certification sectors using the same core technology. The protocol adapts to different sector requirements through configurable parameters while maintaining a consistent underlying framework, enabling cross-sector applicability without proportionally increasing implementation complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-generating identification protocols and encoding individual identifiers before data collection begins. Service providers receive pre-configured verification tools and access credentials in advance, reducing implementation complexity during deployment while maintaining high adaptability across different organizational contexts.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The present invention discloses a unified identification protocol for training and health, comprising: unified multipurpose identifier that serves to identify individuals and the relationships established with these individuals, such as relationships with entities, professionals, products, services and transactions, generation of a multipurpose identifier, unique, non-transferable and univocally distinguishable through a computer system. The computer system that identifies them universally to avoid identification errors, based on UUID, DID and/or other formats and unify the data of the same individual existing in different systems, stored in one or several electronic devices of the individual and/or their legal guardians and, additionally, in one or more cloud services, certify access permissions granted/revoked to the different data compartments in the profile of the individual and the authenticity of the data, carried out in one or more distributed data ledger technologies or blockchains.
