Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for identifying user information in social networks face challenges in reducing resource consumption and improving identification efficiency while maintaining accuracy, as they often rely on extensive data analysis and mining that can lower accuracy.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that obtain a user's identifier in a social network, retrieve identity authentication information, determine associations with other user identifiers, and establish and store master-slave relationships in an identity information database, reducing the need for excessive algorithms and improving accuracy by using identity authentication information for identification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If extensive data analysis and mining are performed to identify user relationships, then identification coverage is improved, but resource consumption increases and accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and utilizes pre-existing identity authentication information (such as real-name authentication data) from the authentication system. By taking out this reliable identity information and using it directly for user relationship identification, the system avoids performing extensive data analysis and mining operations, thereby reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining high identification accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces identity authentication information as an intermediary element that bridges user identifiers and their relationships. Instead of directly analyzing user behavior data to infer relationships, the system uses identity authentication information as a mediator to establish accurate user relationships, which reduces the need for complex analysis algorithms and improves both efficiency and accuracy
2Reliability
If multiple algorithms are used to identify user information, then identification completeness is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the identity authentication information serve multiple functions: it is used for user authentication, user relationship identification, and user information association. By giving this single data source multiple uses, the system avoids deploying multiple specialized algorithms, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining identification completeness
Solution Approach 2:
The system leverages the identity authentication information that already exists in the authentication system to perform identification tasks. The existing authentication data structure and verification mechanisms serve the additional purpose of user relationship identification, eliminating the need for separate complex identification algorithms

AI summary
A method for identifying user information includes obtaining a first user identifier of a user in a social network; obtaining identity authentication information corresponding to the first user identifier; determining whether the identity authentication information is associated with a second user identifier; and storing, when the identity authentication information is associated with the second user identifier, an association relationship between the first user identifier and the second user identifier.
