The instructions are somewhat confusing; following the directions to move in front of the mirror does not lead to a successful photo capture
The instructions appear to involve many steps and seem complicated, making customers hard to follow and easy to skip
Uncertain if the phone should be aligned with the phone displayed on the screen
Unclear about where to align the circles
"The priority is to find alternative methods for photo verification, not solely relying on mirrors."
Conducted competitive analysis and discussed with developers on how to prevent fraud.

“How might we use image recognition to automatically fill in information, helping customers complete forms more quickly?”
After consulting with the developer, we decided to use Google's image recognition service for text extraction to save on development costs and enable a quicker launch

Automatically fill in the form after reading IMEI screenshot
Tech limitation: There are too many types of IDs, making it impossible for Google's service to recognize text and fill the form automatically
During my research, I discovered that there are over ten types of IDs just in the Philippines. After consulting with the developers, it became clear that the previous solution was not feasible. We can only recognize and extract text from images, but cannot autofill the information automatically for the personal information. Only the design of reading IMEI screenshot and automatically fill in the form is feasible.

We can remove the step of taking photos to verify the phone's screen
Since most customers purchase new phones in-store, and new phones are generally in good condition, sales representatives already verify the screen's condition manually. Therefore, we can eliminate the photo-taking step from the system
