User Identity Data Management With Real-Time Touchpoint Alerts
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a lack of transparency in how user identity data is collected, processed, and shared, leading to concerns about its use and security, particularly in electronic authentication systems.
Innovation Solution
A distributed system with a client application, ID processing touchpoints, and a central ID server that provides status notifications to users about the use and processing of their identity data, allowing users to manage and control its distribution and processing through a graphical user interface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If biometric authentication systems are deployed to process large numbers of users efficiently, then productivity is improved, but transparency and user control over identity data are lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where users receive real-time notifications about their biometric data being processed at various touchpoints. The notification system provides continuous information flow from the authentication system back to the user, enabling them to track and control their identity data usage while maintaining high processing capacity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary notification system that acts as a mediator between the biometric authentication system and users. This intermediary layer provides transparency by relaying information about data processing activities without interfering with the core authentication functionality, thus maintaining productivity while restoring user awareness.
2Adaptability or versatility
If identity data is processed and shared across multiple electronic systems, then adaptability and versatility are improved, but security risks and user control are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts data sharing based on user consent and real-time conditions. Users can grant or revoke permissions for different touchpoints and purposes, allowing the system to adapt data sharing capabilities according to current user preferences while maintaining security through controlled access.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by obtaining user consent before identity data is shared with any electronic system. The notification and consent mechanism is activated in advance of data processing, allowing users to authorize or deny data sharing before it occurs, thus ensuring security while enabling versatile data usage when permitted.
3Ease of operation
If automated authentication processes are implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but user awareness and control over data usage are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to self-monitor their biometric data usage through the notification system. Users can independently review which touchpoints have processed their data and manage their consent preferences without requiring intervention from system administrators, thus maintaining automated convenience while restoring user awareness through self-service monitoring.

AI summary
The present invention relates a system and method for monitoring and managing user identity data based on notification received at a client application from ID processing touchpoints and/or an ID sever. The client notification is configured to process the status notification and accordingly display user alerts to the user via a graphic user interface.
