Solution Overview

Problem

Current mobile systems cannot synchronize digital identification cards with qualified certificate authorities, rendering virtually stored IDs invalid without the physical card present.

Innovation Solution

A transaction management system that generates secure folders on mobile devices for digital IDs, synchronizes them with qualified certificate authorities, and provides a graphical user interface for selection and sharing, ensuring virtual IDs are valid and protected.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If digital ID cards are stored on mobile devices, then users can carry identification conveniently, but the IDs cannot be validated as authentic without physical card presence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience of carrying IDVSAvoidvalidity of digital ID
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A certificate authority server acts as an intermediary between the mobile device and the validation system. The server stores cryptographic signatures and validation data, enabling remote verification of digital ID authenticity without requiring physical card presence. The intermediary facilitates trusted communication between the user's device and the validation authority.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates digital copies of identification cards that include embedded cryptographic signatures from certificate authorities. These digital replicas contain all necessary validation information, allowing the copied ID to be verified as authentic through cryptographic validation rather than physical inspection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If digital IDs are synchronized with certificate authorities, then virtual IDs become valid and protected, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthenticity of virtual IDVSAvoidsynchronization system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mobile device automatically performs synchronization with the certificate authority server without requiring manual intervention. The system self-manages the exchange of cryptographic data, automatic updates of validation information, and maintenance of secure connections, reducing the perceived complexity for users while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The certificate authority server provides multiple functions including issuing digital certificates, validating IDs, synchronizing data across devices, and managing cryptographic keys. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a single unified platform.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
