Visual Scenario Matching for Secure Business Process Entry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing two-dimensional codes in network-based business processes are insecure, leading to potential fraud and user experience issues due to their non-identifiability by humans, which can result in incorrect business processes and financial losses.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that utilize a server to maintain a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, allowing terminals to upload image data for matching and receiving corresponding business entry information to initiate secure and correct business processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If two-dimensional codes are used to start business processes, then the ease of operation is improved, but the security and reliability deteriorate due to non-identifiability by humans
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism where the system mediates between the user's scanning action and the business process initiation. The server acts as an intermediary that verifies the scanned code against pre-registered business information, ensuring that the scanned code corresponds to the intended business scenario before allowing process initiation, thus resolving the security issue while maintaining ease of operation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the system provides verification information to confirm that the scanned two-dimensional code corresponds to the correct business scenario. This feedback loop allows users to verify the authenticity and correctness of the scanned code before completing the business operation, thereby improving security without significantly impacting ease of operation
2Device complexity
If two-dimensional codes are used for business process initiation, then the device complexity is reduced, but the reliability deteriorates due to potential fraud and incorrect business processes
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces an intermediary verification layer between the simple two-dimensional code scanning and the business process initiation. The server acts as a mediator that performs background verification of the scanned code against registered business information, maintaining low device complexity while improving reliability through centralized verification
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-registering and storing the correspondence between two-dimensional codes and business information in the system before actual use. This pre-established database allows for quick verification during business operations, maintaining simplicity while ensuring reliability through pre-validated code-business mappings
3Reliability
If recognizable visual scenarios are used instead of two-dimensional codes, then the security is improved through human-identifiable information, but the device complexity increases due to image processing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the essential verification function from the visual scenario itself and transfers it to the server-side database. Instead of requiring complex device-based image recognition and analysis, the system extracts the verification logic to the server, which compares scanned images against pre-registered business images, thereby improving security while minimizing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses copying by storing pre-registered images of business scenarios in the database and comparing them against scanned images. This approach allows the use of recognizable visual scenarios for improved security while avoiding complex real-time image processing on devices, as the comparison is performed against stored copies in the centralized database
Data Source
AI summary
A business process starting method, which is applied to a terminal and includes: acquiring multimedia data, the multimedia data carrying image data of a predetermined scenario, and uploading the multimedia data to a server; receiving business entry information returned by the server, wherein the server maintains a correspondence between standard image information of predetermined scenarios and business entry information, and the returned business entry information corresponds to standard image information matching the uploaded image data; and starting a business process based on the business entry information. The technical solution of the present application starts a corresponding business process by using a predetermined scenario that is easy to distinguish, thereby avoiding a wrong business process caused by the scanning of a wrong two-dimensional code, and increasing the security of a business while improving user experience.
