Abstract

The invention permits the assignment of users to an age category (young (< 18), old (>30) etc.) by means of a hearing test. The biological hearing range is tested. Young people can hear higher notes than old people for biological reasons. The system generates a series of notes individually for each user which have a different pattern depending on the age recognition required. The user is then required to account for his hearing experience to the system. The system can decide whether the user concerned is old or young depending on the pattern heard. In order, for example, to prevent older people accessing a website, it is sufficient to give an access code in a high frequency range, by generation of an audio file which is played back directly by loudspeaker on the PC on visiting the website. Older people will not understand the code and cannot input the individual access code. As young people can hear all that which older people hear but not vice versa, excluding young people takes a different approach. Here false information is added which the young hearer cannot differentiate from the correct information wherein said user is thus revealed to the system later as a young user.

Description

Altersverifikation mit Hochtönen Age verification with high tones
Stand der Technik:State of the art:
Viele Inhalte im Internet unterliegen in vielen Ländern einer Altersbeschränkung. So darf pornografisches Material nicht an Jugendliche gesendet oder Ihnen zugänglich gemacht werden. Bekannt sind Systeme, - die Personal-Ausweis-Nummern prüfenMany content on the Internet is subject to age restrictions in many countries. For example pornographic material may not be sent to young people or made accessible to you. Are known systems, - Check the personal ID numbers
- Kredit und Bankkonten erfragen Einsenden von Ausweispapieren Post-Ident- Verfahren (Ausweisprüfung am Postschalter)- ask for credit and bank accounts. Send in identity papers Post-Identification procedure (identification check at the post office counter)
Nachteil Stand der Technik:Disadvantage of the prior art:
Das Ausweis-Nummer-Prüfverfahren ist leicht von Jugendlichen zu umgehen (Nummern können im Internet recherchiert werden) und daher von Gesetzgebern nicht akzeptiert.The ID number check procedure is easy to bypass by teens (numbers can be searched on the internet) and therefore not accepted by lawmakers.
Das Post-Ident- Verfahren dauert einige Tage und ist umständlich (Weg zur Post).The post-identification process takes a few days and is cumbersome (way to the post office).
Kredit- und Bankkonten , Post-Ident und Einsenden von Ausweis- Unterlagen per Fax verletzen die Anonymitätsbedürfnisse der Anwender. Sie gehen über das Ziel, lediglich das Alter des Anwenders festzustellen hinaus und offenbaren die Identität des Besuchers einer Website gegenüber dem Servicebetreiber im Internet. Kompliziert , weil nicht adhoc auf der Webseite einsetzbar sind diese Verafhren zudem.Credit and bank accounts, Post-Ident and sending ID documents by fax violate the anonymity needs of users. They go beyond the goal of merely determining the age of the user and reveal the identity of the visitor of a website to the service operator on the Internet. Complicated, because not adhoc can be used on the website, these Verafhren also.
ERSATZBLATT (REGEL 26) Lösungsvorteile:Replacement Blade (RULE 26) Solution Benefits:
Das vorgestellte Verfahren beseitigt die genannten Probleme, da sofort und ohne bürokratischen Aufwand ein Altersbereich von derThe presented procedure eliminates the mentioned problems, since immediately and without bureaucratic expenditure an age range of the

Das Verfahren zentral für alle Webseiten angeboten werden kann und nicht vom jeweiligen Betreiber eines Webservices gebaut werden muß.The procedure can be offered centrally for all web pages and does not have to be built by the respective operator of a web service.
Es ist im Gegensatz zu Ausweispapieren fälschungssicher, da ein altersabhängiges biologisches Merkmal (Hörvermögen) zur Verification benutzt wird.It is counterfeit-proof unlike identity papers, as an age-dependent biological characteristic (hearing ability) is used for verification.

Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels:Description of an embodiment:
In einem Ausgestaltungsbeispiel könnten Ziffern in hohen und tieferen Tonlagen vorgesprochen werden, die aber nahegenug beieinander liegen, um nicht direkt unterscheidbar zu sein oder diverese Tonhöhen verwenden (innerhalb des hohen und niedrigen Bereiches), sodaß für den Benutzer nicht erkennbar ist, welcher Ton als Hoch und Tief gilt. .In one embodiment, digits in higher and lower pitches could be spoken, but close enough together not to be directly distinguishable or to use different pitches (within the high and low ranges), so that the user is unaware of which tone is high and low applies. ,

Ein älterer Mensch (der nur tiefe Töne hört) würde den Zugangscode 688 vernehmen und eintippen.An elderly person (who only hears low tones) would hear the access code 688 and type in it.
Ein junger Mensch würde 16288 vernehmen und als Antwort eintippen. Auf diese Weise kann das System erkennen, wie alt der Benutzer ist. Durch Variation in der Tonhöhe mit beliebiger Trennschärfe. In einem anderen Ausgestaltuhgsbeispiel könnte ein Ton langsam in der Frequenz ansteigen oder abfallen und der User müßte angeben, wann er den Ton nicht mehr hört oder zum ersten mal hört. Auch hier wäre eine Manipulation ausgeschlossen, sofern völlig verspätete Angaben ausgeschlossen werden.A young man would hear 16288 and type in response. In this way, the system can see how old the user is. By varying the pitch with arbitrary selectivity. In another embodiment, a tone could slowly increase or decrease in frequency and the user would have to indicate when he will not hear the sound or hear the sound for the first time. Again, a manipulation would be excluded, if completely late details are excluded.
Bei ansteigender Tonhöhe würde ein älterer Mensch früher die Taste (nicht mehr zu hören) klicken, als ein jüngerer.As the pitch increases, an older person would earlier click the button (no longer heard) than a younger one.
In einem anderen Ausgestaltungsbeispiel könnte ein einzelner Ton abgespielt oder auch nicht abgespielt werden. Damit sich Benutzer nicht absprechen, müssen die Sequencen immer unterschiedlich erzeugt werden.In another embodiment, a single tone could be played or not played. So that users do not deny each other, the sequences must always be generated differently.
Der Benutzer wird für jeden Zeitraum gefragt, ob er etwas hören konnte.The user is asked for each period if he could hear something.
Das an das System zurückgemeldete Ergebnis unterscheidet sich je nachThe result returned to the system differs depending on
Alter.Age.
Dieses System kann sowohl online (via Internet) als auch offline (z.B. in aufgestellten Automaten) oder mobil (handy) verwendet werden. This system can be used both online (via the Internet) and offline (for example, in set-up machines) or mobile (mobile phone).
