User Identity Verification via Probability Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current digital services lack the ability to share user information across different service providers, limiting the potential for personalized experiences as each provider only utilizes data harvested by themselves, and users have limited control over their information.
Innovation Solution
A method involving obtaining user information attributes, determining user probability information, and identifying users based on this data to enable personalized services across multiple platforms without direct sharing of personal data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If user information is shared across different service providers, then personalized services can be enhanced, but user privacy and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a trusted intermediary system that acts as a mediator between users and service providers. This intermediary verifies user identities and manages information sharing permissions without exposing raw personal data, thereby enabling personalized services while maintaining privacy protection through controlled information disclosure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms user information from raw personal data into verified identity parameters that can be shared across services. By changing the parameter representation of user information (from direct personal data to verified identity tokens), the system enables service personalization while reducing privacy risks through parameter transformation.
2Reliability
If traditional login authentication is used, then user identity can be confirmed, but information from multiple service providers cannot be integrated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal identity verification system that works across multiple service providers. The verified user identity and associated information can be integrated across different services through this universal mechanism, replacing the need for separate logins while maintaining reliable user identification across diverse platforms.
3Ease of operation
If user credentials are stored by each service provider, then authentication is straightforward, but data silos prevent enhanced user experience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential authentication function from the credentials themselves and separates it from the service provider-specific data storage. By taking out the identity verification capability and making it independent, the system enables information integration across services while maintaining straightforward authentication through the extracted verification mechanism.
Data Source
AI summary
A method is disclosed in which one or more pieces of user information are obtained. The one or more pieces of user information are indicative of at least one attribute of a user and/or include at least one piece of information associated with the user. In the method, one or more pieces of user probability information are determined based on the one or more pieces of user information. The one or more pieces of user probability information are indicative of a probability that the one or more pieces of user information are linked to the user. One user identity is determined based on the one or more pieces of user probability information. It is further disclosed an according apparatus, computer program and system.
