User Information Management Apparatus Access Code Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing user information management systems in service-providing facilities, such as stores, face issues with unnecessary information leakage when verifying user eligibility for services, as staff may view sensitive information on identification cards.
Innovation Solution
A user information management apparatus and method that provides an access code to users, allowing them to access and transmit only the necessary user information to in-store devices, preventing the disclosure of unnecessary data by storing and managing user information centrally and securely.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a user presents an identification card to verify eligibility for a service, then the verification can be completed, but unnecessary sensitive information may be leaked to the service provider
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the necessary verification information (age, name) from the user's identification data and transmits it to the service facility, while leaving the remaining sensitive information (address, photograph, etc.) in the user terminal. This extraction principle resolves the contradiction by enabling verification without exposing unnecessary sensitive data.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a user information management apparatus as an intermediary between the user terminal and the service facility. This intermediary receives verification requests, extracts necessary information, and transmits only that information to the facility, thereby preventing direct exposure of sensitive data while maintaining verification reliability.
2Reliability
If all user information is transmitted to the facility for verification, then complete verification can be performed, but the security risk and system load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and transmits only the specific verification information needed for service eligibility (such as age and name) rather than transmitting all user information. This reduces system load and communication overhead while maintaining verification accuracy for the required parameters.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies partial action by transmitting only the necessary portion of user information required for verification, rather than all available information. This partial transmission approach reduces system load and energy consumption while sufficient for accurate verification of service eligibility.

AI summary
A user information management apparatus stores various types of user information on a user in a storage unit, causes a providing unit to provide a user with an access code used to access the user information on the user stored in the storage unit, and when receiving the access code from the facility device installed in a facility that provides a service, causes the transmitting unit to transmit the user information corresponding to the service provided by the facility having the facility device among the various types of the user information stored in the storage unit.
