TITLE FAKE NEWS SCANNER SYSTEM EMBEDDED IN SMARTWATCH ARCHITECTURE FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention generally relates to the field of the news scanner system. More

particularly, the present invention relates to the system for detecting fake news using the

smartwatch.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In this technology world, social media becoming quite popular in day to day life of

people. The uses and customer of social media are rapidly increasing day by day. Social

Media like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, and more other apps connect the

people around the world through the internet. Social media is a computer program and

website, which allows the people to communicate with each other to create their ideas,

and share their information (such as text, photo, audio, video, or documents, etc.), i.e.

sharing information with others over the internet using a mobile phone, tablet, or

computer. The main advantage of social media is education, which means the students

can learn any topics from social media. It is also used for business, sports, and

entertainment.

But nowadays, the major problem in social media is fake news, which means it spreads

rumors about a particular person, politician, religion, caste, or region, etc. And some web

sites or applications are created by an unauthorized person for hacking other's privacy.

In social media, the fake news will be spread quickly because the users spread the news

without checking whether it is true or not.

Some unwanted links are shared in the WhatsApp account are being shared unnecessarily

such as clicking on this link will get 5GB for free and clicking on this link will get a

laptop for free, etc. This kind of unofficial link is not safe to open because that links may

be created by hackers to hack the user's data. It is very difficult to find out whether the

news coming in social media is fake news or not.

However, previously there are many efforts are made to detect the fake news in social

media. Some of the reference known to us is as follows:

Indian patent application 201617037656 describes the system and method of smart watch

for collecting biometric and motion sensor data, which includes software and hardware

necessary to get sensor and motion data from the smart watch. Here, the smart watch can

continuously combine sensor data from multiple sensors for collecting the sensor data

from the smart watch user and to increase the sensor data analysis's accuracy and give

user-related feedback information. Also, it is capable of the combination through an

external portable device to associate the collected sensor data through performed

activities by the users on the paired device. It also transmits the collected sensor and

analysis data to the cloud server.

Indian patent application 201637000626 describes the system of smart watch and display

method for smart watches to improve the quality of the display. This invention provides

the smart watch, which comprises a normal display region and a posture monitoring unit,

and also provides the display technique for the smart watch. The displaying unit of the

smart watch is configured to display the content, which should be displayed in the region of normal display. The brightness can be reduced in the region that the user cannot see.

So, the battery life of the smart watch gets increasing and it improves the experience of

the user.

Indian patent application 10135/DELNP/2015 describes the system and method of smart

watch, which includes the telephone function module and also dial keys; all dial key is

identical for dialing an unchanged phone number. Once a Bluetooth connection between

a primary module phone and the smart watch bound thereto is recognized, both the

primary mobile phone and the smart watch provide a buzzing warning, which means

when the primary mobile phone and the smart watch detect a Bluetooth connection that

is interference or when the value of Bluetooth signal is less than a set value. And, if the

values of acceleration and temperature sensor changes, then the primary mobile phone

and smartwatch gives a buzzing warning.

Indian patent application 1092/KOLNP/2015 describes the system of mobile terminal,

smart watch, and performing authentication method with the mobile terminal and the

smart watch, which comprising: detecting the authentication request to execute the

application; measuring the heartbeat rhythm of the user via the sensor embedded in a

smart watch's bottom when detecting an authentication request; and checking the

measured heartbeat rhythm of the user through an already saved heartbeat rhythm, and

therefore performing authentication at the application.

Indian patent application 1659/MUM/2013 describes the system and method for

multifactor authentication and login through smart wristwatch using near field

communication. The major contribution of this invention is to give multifactor

authentication and method and login process by the smart wristwatch using at least one tag of NFC technology through computing devices such as a personal computer, laptop, mobile, tablets, PDA, or any similar method. After that, it increasing the system security and reducing the burden of users. This invention also protects the user's information from hackers and cyber fishing.

State of the art suffers from the following limitations:

State of the art solution does not consider a fake news scanner system embedded in

smartwatch architecture. In this developing world, fake news is spreading very quickly

on social media, and also it is very difficult to find out whether the news coming in on

social media is true or not. For this purpose, a news scanner system is embedded in the

smartwatch architecture. In this method, when a user reads news on social media, the

user has to turn on the smartwatch to find out whether the message is official news or

not. After that, the news scanner system will scan the screen of the smartphone to detect

the authenticity of the message. Once the scanning process is over, it gives the

notification message to the smartwatch user when the message is found as fake news.

are cheated by fake news and links, which is created by hackers or unauthorized persons.

Some people lose their money, and even some people lose their life due to fake news.

In this new novel, the news scanner system is embedded within the smartwatch

architecture to identify the fake news. When the user presses the news scanner from the

smartwatch then it automatically scans the received news on social media from

smartphone and classifies it as fake or real. After that, this system gives the notification

message to the user of the smartwatch.

The present invention shows the perspective view of the smartwatch (100), further

detailed descriptions of the present invention are stated here regarding the attached

drawings. Thus, the detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed here to

describe the present invention.

In this embodiment of the present invention, as shown in figure 1, which refers to the

perspective view of the smartwatch (100) for detecting the fake news on social media,

which comprises the news scanner (101).

Day by day, users of the smartwatch are increasing gradually because of its features,

which is considered as a wearable electronic device and structured is based on the

computer system. It is also known as a digital watch, which provides many features

moreover timekeeping such as monitoring the user's heartbeat, body temperature,

sending and receiving messages, allows both incoming and outgoing calls, tracking the

activity of the user, etc. The smartwatch has a touch screen display like the smartphone,

which allows the user to perform actions by tapping on the screen.

Here, the news scanner (101) is the main process for detecting fake news, which is done

based on the received or reading news such as text, video, image, audio, or other

documents. Usually, social media advertise and spread many unwanted ads, links,

messages, and etc. So, this news scanner (101) scans the message read by the user on the smartphone, then shares the scanned data, and finally extracts the data in it. After that, the pre-processing method predicts based on the scanned image whether the message is real or not,

In another embodiment of the present invention, figure 2 illustrates the hardware

architecture of the smartwatch (200), which comprises a news scanner system (208) and

a notification system (209).

Smartwatch (100) is a wearable digital watch, which has the features like a computer. An

interconnect (201) is a logical or physical connection between networks or electronic

devices. The architecture of the smartwatch comprises start button (202), Bluetooth

system (203), smart extension (204), user interface (205), DRAM (206), ROM (207),

news scanner system (208), and notification system (209).

Usually, every devices and machine have a start button (202) to turn on/off the devices

and display. It has different shapes like square, circle, rectangle, etc. Bluetooth system

(203) is the technology of short-range wireless communication, which allows the user to

share data without a cable connection. This technology is mainly designed to connect

computers, phones, and other portable devices. In this present invention, the Bluetooth

system (203) connects the smartwatch (100) and smartphone to share the images.

Smart extension (204) of smartwatch (100) is also called as companion smartwatches,

which require a tethered phone to work. It can be IOS compatible smartwatches, android

compatible smartwatches, etc. The user interface (205) is the process of interaction

between the human-computer, and also a method of communication on a webpage,

applications, or device. This includes keyboards, a mouse, display screens, and the

appearance of the computer. It enables users to control the desktop or other electronic devices they are interacting with.

Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) (206) is the random-access semiconductor

memory category, which is usually used in the main memory of the computer. In the

memory cell, it stores all of the data consisting of a transistor and a tiny capacitor, and

both typically based on metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology. Read-Only

Memory (ROM) (207) is the non-volatile category used in electronic devices. After the

manufacture of a memory device, the data stored in ROM (207) is not possible to be

electronically modified.

The news scanner system (208) is the main process of this present invention, which

detects the fake news based on the contents of the photo captured by the scanner. It is

inbuilt within the smartwatch. The user can start the news scanner system (208) when the

user is ready to read articles on social media. The news scanner scans the text messages,

images, videos, and news articles on social media and detects whether the received

message is fake or not. After finding out the fake news, it sends the alert message to the

user of the smartwatch (100) via the notification system (209).

In another embodiment of the present invention, figure 3 illustrates the block diagram of

the present invention (300), which includes the news scanner system (208) and the

notification system (209).

At first, the user should press the start button (202) to start the smartwatch. Once the

smartwatch is on, the further process will start automatically. When the user starts to read

the news or messages on social media, then the user should press the news scanner system

(301) for detecting the news as false or not. The displayed image, video, or data, which

is received in the social media gets scanned and processed by the news scanner system

(208).

The news scanner system (208) identifies fake news based on the content present in the

news article, images, videos, or text messages because the contents or information may

be unofficial or created by an unauthorized person to take revenge on someone or stealing

personal information. This system checks the other official websites to detect whether

the received message is official or not. The system has several steps for detecting the

fake news, such as a connection establishment (302), share the screen image (303) via

Bluetooth, extracting the data (304), pre-processing data (305), analyzing the data (306),

and classification (307).

Connection establishment (302) is the process of connecting both smartwatch and

smartphone through Bluetooth, which is used for exchanging the data between

smartphone and smartwatch. When the user reads the contents in the photos, videos, and

news on the smartphone, then it is interconnected with the smartwatch via Bluetooth.

After that, the scanner scans the information (news, photos, videos, documents, or other

files), and then it shares the screen image (303) of the smartphone for data extracting.

Extracting the data (304) is the process or act of data sources for data storage or data

processing. It involves tools to search via online resources to get information. The

extracted data is then passed to the pre-processing method.

Pre-processing (305) method consists of different processes like the Generation of the

word cloud and Tokenization. Pre-processing the data (305) is the most important process

in the data mining process, which is responsible to prepare data for other processing. This

process removes unwanted data from the received images. So, the upcoming process will

turn into better quality. After that, the processed data is passed to the analyzer.

Analyzing the data (306) means, based on the information obtained, and compares it with

other news and classifying it. It is the process of inspecting, transforming, modeling data,

and cleansing through the goal of determining useful information, supporting decision

making, and informing conclusions. It has numerous facets and approaches, surrounding

diverse methods under different names, and is used in various science, social science,

and business domains.

After analyzing the data (306), it classifies the news as fake (3071) or real (3072). Fake

(3071) news is unofficial news that may be created by hackers to steal other's details, or

to criticize the politicians, celebrities, religion, etc. For example, the person will be

receiving the message as "your mobile number is won 1 million rupees"; enter your bank

account in the given link to receive your money or click the given link to win 1 million

rupees by playing online games, etc. Real (3072) news is official news, which is

announcing by the authorized person in the official websites or accounts. The

classification (307) process classifies the received data as fake (3071) or real (3072)

news.

Finally, the notification system (209) gives the notification to the user via the smartwatch

(100). For example, if the news is fake (3071), the user will be notified that this news is

fake (3071), and if the news is real (3072), the user will be notified that this news is real

(3072).
