Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for enrolling and using a mobile key on electronic devices are cumbersome and inefficient, often requiring complex user interfaces and consuming excessive user time and device energy.
Innovation Solution
The development of faster and more efficient methods and interfaces for enrolling and using a mobile key, which reduce cognitive burden on users and conserve power in battery-operated devices, by detecting requests to add secure credentials and initiating processes for their addition and display within electronic wallet applications.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used for enrolling and using a mobile key, then the enrollment process can be completed, but the user interface becomes complex and time-consuming with multiple key presses or keystrokes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the mobile key enrollment process into distinct phases: initiating the process through a user interface object, detecting proximity of the electronic device to the vehicle, and automatically completing enrollment without requiring multiple manual key presses. This segmentation eliminates interface complexity while maintaining operational simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service enrollment by automatically detecting when the electronic device is in proximity to the vehicle and completing the credential addition process without requiring continuous user input. The system serves itself by monitoring device state and executing enrollment autonomously once initiated.
2Productivity
If existing techniques are used for enrolling and using a mobile key, then the enrollment process can be completed, but excessive user time and device energy are consumed
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-configuring the electronic device with the capability to communicate with the vehicle system and pre-establishing the enrollment workflow. When the device approaches the vehicle, the enrollment process is already primed to execute automatically, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual steps during the actual enrollment moment.
3Ease of operation
If existing techniques are used for enrolling and using a mobile key, then the enrollment process can be completed, but device energy is wasted due to multiple key presses or keystrokes
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the skipping principle by eliminating unnecessary intermediate steps in the enrollment process. Instead of requiring multiple key presses or keystrokes that consume energy, the system detects device proximity and rushes through the enrollment completion in a single automated action, skipping the energy-intensive manual input phases while maintaining ease of use.
