For example, when an online member joins, information is provided to the user such as the user name or birthday entered by the user, and the user's image as authentication data is provided along with the user's ID card. As another example, when a user operating a store inputs store information such as a store location or a store owner as user-provided information in order to use an online payment service, a store owner image and a store image are provided as authentication data. As another example, in order to prove that the user has visited the museum on a specific date, the image of the museum and the user image taken at the museum are provided as authentication data. In addition, in order to prove that the user is performing an online lecture, the image of the online lecture screen displayed on the user device and the user image captured by the user device are provided as authentication data.

The present invention is not limited to the above example, and can be applied as long as the authentication data related to the provided information is provided together with the user provided information.

FIG. 3 exemplarily illustrates a process from generating authentication data to using authentication data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the server 150 receives the authentication data 301 generated by the first user electronic device 110 and transmits the above data to the second user electronic device 120. An example of the generation and use of authentication data 301 is as follows.

310. Authentication data generation

For the online payment service, the first user who is the store owner of the “LINE STORE” store inputs user provision information 311 including the store owner ID 312 and the store name 313 through the application provided in the electronic device 110 of the first user. Service providers (platform operators) of online payment services often need to authenticate users to provide information 311. At this time, the first user can request the generation of authentication data through the application.

At this time, the electronic device 110 of the first user of an embodiment of the present invention utilizes at least one lens attached to the electronic device 110 or wired and wirelessly connected to the electronic device 110 (ie, at least one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110) Shooting can identify at least one user-related object of the first user, whereby multiple images can be generated. Among them, for example, "at least one user-related object that can identify the first user" may include a part of the body of the first user, the face of the first user, the handwriting of the first user, etc. At least one user-related object of a user.

Among them, one of the generated multiple images is related to the user-related object captured by the lens, and the remaining is related to the target object related to the information provided by the user. At this time, the electronic device 110 uses at least one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110 to photograph at least one target object related to the information provided by the user, thereby also generating at least one image.

The electronic device 110 that receives the authentication data generation request related to the user-provided information from the first user can store the owner image 314 taken from the front lens of the electronic device 110, the store image 315 taken from the rear lens, and the store owner image 314 Information such as the shooting time 316 and the shooting position related to the store image 315 is encrypted to be visually encoded as authentication data 301 related to user-provided information. The visually encoded information may include barcode, QR code, two-dimensional matrix code, color code, three-dimensional code or image code.

320. Authentication data transmission

While the authentication data transmission request of the first user is generated or the authentication data 301 is generated, the electronic device 110 automatically transmits the authentication data 301 to the server 150.

330. Verify data request reception

The server 150 may receive the verification data request related to the user providing information 311 from the second user's electronic device 120. The second user may be a user designated by the service provider of the online payment service or a voluntary user who obtains any reward from the online payment service.

340. Authentication data transmission

The server 150 transmits the authentication data 301 related to the user provided information 311 to the electronic device 120 in response to the verification data request. The server 150 searches the user provision information 311 for additional information for verification and provides it to the electronic device 120 together with the authentication data 301. As an example, the store owner name is searched from the store owner ID 312 in the user provision information 311 and the searched store owner name is transmitted to the electronic device 120.

350. Verification data display

The electronic device 120 decodes the received authentication data 301 to display the verification data 351. The verification data 351 may include data decoded from the authentication data 301 (for example, the store name 353) and additional information received from a server such as the store owner name 352.

360. Confirm message transmission

The electronic device 120 receives confirmation information related to user-provided information input from the second user and transmits the above-mentioned information to the server 150.

The server 150 includes a server that provides social network services or establishes a connection with a server that provides social network services. As a result, the user using the social network service sends and receives authentication data related to the above information via the server 150 together with the information.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an authentication data providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 of this embodiment provide authentication data by using applications provided in each electronic device.

The processor 212 and the structural elements of the processor 212 of the electronic device 110 of this embodiment control the electronic device 110 in such a manner as to execute the steps (S410 to S450) included in the authentication data providing method of FIG. 4. For example, the processor 212 and the structural elements of the processor 212 can execute instructions based on codes of the operating system and codes of at least one program.

In step S410, the processor 212 may read the required instructions from the storage 211 that loads instructions related to the control of the electronic device 110. In this case, the above read instructions include instructions for control in such a manner that the processor 212 executes steps (S420 to S450) described later.

In step S420, the processor 212 may receive an authentication data generation request related to user-provided information from a first user who is a user of the electronic device 110.

The electronic device 110 provides a user information input interface in a manner that enables the user to input the user-provided information, and can receive input related to the authentication target information from the user as provided information. In addition, the electronic device 110 may store the input related to the authentication target information input from the user as the user-provided information in the storage 211. The electronic device 110 may receive the user-provided information and the authentication data generation request related to the user-provided information. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 receives together a selection related to the user-provided information received and stored before the authentication data generation request and the authentication data generation request. Thereby, the electronic device 110 can establish a relationship between the authentication data generation request and the corresponding user provided information.

In step S430, in response to the authentication data generation request, the processor 212 uses at least one lens to photograph at least one user-related object that identifies the user, whereby multiple images can be acquired.

Among them, one of the generated images is related to the user-related objects photographed through the lens, and the remaining is related to the target object related to the information provided by the user.

The processor 212 causes at least one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110 to cause the first lens to take a first image related to the first direction, and the second lens to be different from the first lens to take the first image related to the second direction Second image. That is, the processor 212 acquires a first image of at least one user-related object from a first lens in at least one lens, and acquires a second image of at least one target object related to user-provided information from a second lens in at least one lens image.

At this time, the processor 212 causes the first lens and the second lens to simultaneously shoot at least one user-related object and at least one target object, thereby generating a first image and a second image. As an example, the processor 212 causes the front lens and the rear lens attached to the electronic device 110 to simultaneously photograph the store owner and the store to obtain the store owner image and the store image.

The processor 212 acquires a first image of at least one user-related object captured at a specific time point from a first lens in at least one lens, and acquires a time point different from the specific time point from a second lens in at least one lens The captured user provides information about the second image of at least one target object. That is, the processor 212 causes one of at least one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110 to shoot a user-related object, and after a predetermined time passes from the time point when the first image is taken, one of the more than one lens Shoot the target object. The predetermined time may be a value that can be predetermined by an application provided in the electronic device 110, or may be a value determined by a user. As an example, the predetermined time is the minimum time required for the first lens or the second lens to continuously shoot two objects.

The processor 212 causes the first lens among the one or more lenses that are electrically connected to the electronic device 110 to capture the user-related object and the target object. As an example, the processor 212 causes the lens included in the electronic device 110 to photograph the store, and photographs the store owner after a predetermined time has passed. The processor 212 may rotate the lens of the lens by an arbitrary angle within a predetermined time in order to photograph the store owner (that is, to acquire the store owner image). The angle of the rotating lens may be a value predetermined by the application installed in the electronic device 110. The angle of rotating the lens may also be the angle at which the processor 212 rotates the lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110 in any direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) and recognizes a specific type of object such as a person.

The processor 212 causes the first lens to capture the first image, and causes the second lens to capture the second image. As an example, the processor 212 causes the rear lens of the electronic device 110 to photograph the store, and after a predetermined period of time, causes the front lens of the electronic device 110 to photograph the store owner. As another example, the processor 212 causes the rear lens and the front lens of the electronic device 110 to simultaneously photograph the store and the store owner.

The processor 212 may obtain a first image of at least one user-related object taken from at least one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110, and use at least one screenshot program to obtain a second of at least one target object related to information provided by the user image. As an example, the processor 212 causes the front lens of the electronic device 110 to photograph the user to obtain the user image, and screenshots the online lecture screen played on the electronic device 110 to obtain the playback screen image.

Additionally, the processor 212 provides a preview in such a way that the user can confirm the image captured by at least one lens.

8, the processor 212 causes the display device 800 of the electronic device 110 to display the shooting guide 810, the “QR code generation” user interface 820, the “first lens preview” user interface 830, and the “second lens preview” user interface 840. The processor 212 may receive input from the first user's "QR code generation" user interface 820 as an authentication data generation request related to information provided by the user. The processor 212 responds to the input on the “QR code generation” user interface 820 to automatically shoot (ie, no additional input from the first user) user-related objects and target objects, thereby obtaining the first image and the second object Multiple images of the image. As described above, after inputting to the first user-based "QR code generation" user interface 820, multiple images used for the first user to generate the QR code cannot be edited, so the processor 212 prompts the user to shoot more The image guide object 810 is provided in a manner of authenticating objects. In addition, the processor 212 may provide a "first lens preview" user interface 830 or a "second lens preview" user interface 840 in a manner that allows the user to confirm the image captured by the first lens or the second lens in advance. Referring also to FIGS. 9A and 9B, the processor 212 causes the display device 800, 900 to display the image 830 input from the front lens based on the input on the "first lens preview" user interface 830 based on the first user, based on the first user The input of the "second lens preview" user interface 840 causes the display devices 800, 900 to display the image 935 input from the rear lens. The processor 212 causes the display devices 800 and 900 to display the "first lens preview" user interface 910 and the "second lens preview" user interface 915, thereby prompting the first user to preview any lens. In addition, the processor 212 causes the display devices 800 and 900 to display the first lens guide 920 and the second lens guide 925, thereby prompting the first user to photograph the subject related to each lens.

Referring again to FIG. 4, in step S440, the processor 212 generates authentication data related to user-provided information based on a plurality of images.

At this time, the authentication data is generated using the position information of the electronic device 110 or at least one lens related to multiple images. The processor 212 may associate the position information of the electronic device 110 identified from the global positioning system module of the electronic device 110 with the position information of the first image and/or the position information of the second image. In the case where the lens connected to the electronic device 110 can obtain position information, the electronic device 110 can receive the position information of the lens from the lens, and the processor 212 can compare the position information of the corresponding lens with the position information of the first image and/or The position information of the second image is correlated. The processor 212 may store the position information of the first image and/or the position information of the second image as the position information of the corresponding authentication data.

The authentication data can also be generated using the first image, the second image, or the graphic information related to the multiple images. The information related to at least one of the first image or the second image may include time information, lens user information, etc. in addition to the position information.

The processor 212 generates visually encoded information as authentication data based on multiple images. The visually encoded information may include barcodes, QR codes, two-dimensional matrix codes, color codes, three-dimensional codes, or image codes. Additionally, the processor 212 may encrypt the store image, the store owner image, and the global positioning system value of the electronic device to generate visually encoded information.

For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the processor 212 may encrypt the store owner image 1010, the store image 1020, and the position information 1030 of the store image to generate the QR code 1040 as authentication data.

Additionally, the processor 212 may store the generated authentication data in the storage 211 of the electronic device 110.

In step S450, the processor 212 can transmit the authentication data via the network. As an example, the processor 212 may receive the authentication data transmission request from the first user, and thus, may transmit the authentication data 301 to the server 150. At this time, the processor 212 causes the display device to display a plurality of images for the authentication data in a manner that can assist the first user to request the transmission of the generated authentication data or request the generation of new authentication data. As another example, the authentication data 301 is automatically transmitted to the server 150 while generating the authentication data 301.

As described above, the electronic devices 110, 120, 130, and 140 of this embodiment utilize the applications provided in the respective electronic devices to provide authentication data related to user-provided information. The authentication data related to the information provided by the user is displayed using the authentication data provided from another electronic device.

The verification data display method can be executed by the electronic devices 130 and 140 and the electronic device 110. Hereinafter, the method of displaying the verification data related to the information provided by the user will be described by the electronic device 120.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of an electronic device performing a verification data display method according to an embodiment of the invention.

The processor 232 of the electronic device 120 and the structural elements of the processor 232 control the electronic device 120 in such a manner as to execute the steps (S510 to S590) included in the verification data display method of FIG. 5. For example, the processor 232 and the structural elements of the processor 232 can execute instructions based on the code of the operating system included in the storage 231 and the code of at least one program.

In step S510, the processor 232 may read required instructions from the storage 231 that loads instructions related to the control of the electronic device 120. In this case, the instructions read above include instructions for control in such a manner that the processor 232 performs steps (S520 to S570) described later.

In step S520, the processor 232 transmits a catalog request related to the candidate verification object to the server 150 in response to the first input of the second user who is the user of the electronic device 120.

The second user who can request the directory related to the candidate verification object may be a user who has the verification personnel authority confirmed by the server 150. The processor 232 does not display the user interface for the first input to users who have not requested the authority for the directory related to the candidate verification object.

The catalog request related to the candidate verification object may include the location information of the electronic device 120. At this time, the processor 232 can recognize the position from the global positioning system module of the electronic device 120. The directory request related to the candidate verification object may also include candidate conditions specified by the second user. As an example, the second user may designate a predetermined distance (for example, within 1 km) from the position of the electronic device 120 as a candidate condition related to the catalog request.

As another example, the catalog request related to the verification candidate object may further include second user information of the electronic device 120. Thus, in addition to the few users booked by the payment service provider, among the users of the social network service, users who voluntarily become verifiers can request a catalog related to the candidate verification object.

In step S530, the processor 232 receives the candidate verification object related to the catalog request from the server 150 to cause the output device to display the candidate catalog. The candidate directory may contain information related to the authentication object (eg, the name of the store, location, etc. that needs to be authenticated) or an authentication requester (eg, providing the first user related to the authentication data generation request or information related to the authentication object User) related information. At this time, the processor 232 may display condition information related to the catalog request specified by the user and the rear catalog together. In step S540, the processor 232 transmits a verification data request related to at least one item in the candidate list to the server in response to the second input of the second user.

Referring to FIG. 11, the processor 232 causes the display device 1100 of the electronic device 120 to display the candidate list 1120. The candidate list 1120 may contain information related to authentication objects 1122 such as store names "LINE STORE" and "CAFÉ X" and information related to authentication request persons 1123 such as "James" and "Sally". The information related to the authentication requesting person 1123 may include at least one of information related to the identifier or real name on the social networking service of the authentication data generating requesting person or the information providing person. The display device 1100 of the electronic device 120 displays the condition information 1110 and the candidate list 1120 together on the basis of the condition (within 1 km) related to the catalog request specified by the second user. The processor 232 may receive a selection 1124 of the second item (store name "LINE STORE") in the candidate list 1120 from the second user. The processor 232 transmits an authentication data request related to the first item to the server 150 in response to the input on the user interface 1130 of the “authentication data viewing” of the second user in a state where the first item is selected.

Referring again to FIG. 5, in step S550, the processor 232 may receive one of authentication data related to the authentication data request from the server 150. For example, the processor 232 may receive the first code (for example, 1040 of FIG. 10) as authentication data with the first item (store name "LINE STORE").

In step S560, the processor may cause the output device to display the verification data.

According to an example, the processor 232 first determines whether the authentication data received from the server 150 satisfies a predetermined decoding condition. At this time, the predetermined decoding condition may be related to the user authority related to the corresponding authentication data or the location data corresponding to the authentication data. For example, the processor 232 may determine whether the second user has the authority to decode the first code of the authentication data related to the first item (store name "LINE STORE"). As another example, the processor 232 determines whether the electronic device 120 exists within a prescribed range from the position data of the first code.

At this time, when it is determined that the predetermined decoding condition cannot be satisfied, the processor 232 causes the output device to output a message that the corresponding verification data cannot be output.

On the contrary, if it is determined that the predetermined decoding condition is satisfied, the processor 232 may decode the received authentication data, and cause the output device to display the verification data including the decoded authentication data. As an example, the processor 232 causes the electronic device 120 to receive the decoding key from the server 150 or obtain the decoding key from the storage 231 of the electronic device 120.

Referring to FIG. 12, the processor 232 decodes the first code as authentication data related to the first item (store name "LINE STORE") to acquire the first image 1213, the second image 1214, the shooting time 1215, and the shooting position 1216. The processor 232 causes the output device 1200 of the electronic device 120 to display the verification data 1210 based on the decoded authentication data. In this case, the verification data 1210 may include user-provided information and the second image 1213, the second image 1214, the shooting time 1215, and the like related to the first item (store name "LINE STORE") such as the store owner name 1211 and the store name 1212. The decoded authentication data such as the shooting position 1216.

In step S570, the processor 232 responds to the third input of the second user to transmit confirmation information related to the information provided by the user to the server. At this time, the third input may be an input on the user interface related to confirmation or not.

Referring again to FIG. 12, based on the verification data 1210, the second user uses the display device 1200 of the electronic device 120 to input a third input including user confirmation information such as whether to confirm the store name 1211 and the store owner name 1212. The third input may be an input on the “yes” user interface 1221, the “no” user interface 1222, and the “unable to confirm” user interface 1223. The third input may include user comments entered by the user on the comment user interface 1224.

In relation to FIG. 5, as described above, the second user transmits the verification data request related to at least one item in the candidate list to the server, and the second user transmits the verification data request to the server 150 without item selection In this case, the server 150 determines one of the authentication data based on the user information and transmits it to the electronic device 120. That is, according to the embodiment, steps S520 to S540 of FIG. 5 may be omitted.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, to provide information to the user, the authentication data generated in the electronic device 110 is transmitted to the electronic device 120 via the server 150. Hereinafter, from the viewpoint of the server 150, the authentication data providing method will be described in detail. 6 is a block diagram showing a processor in a computer device or server according to an embodiment of the invention. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method executable by a server according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In order to execute the authentication data providing method of FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 6, the processor 222 of the server 150 may include an authentication data receiving part 610, a data management part 620, a request receiving part 630 and an authentication data transmission part 640. According to the embodiment, the structural elements of the processor 222 are selectively included in the processor 222 or removed. And, according to the embodiment, the structural elements of the processor 222 are separated or combined in order to present the functions of the processor 222.

The processor 222 and the structural elements of the processor 222 control the server 150 in such a manner as to execute the steps (S710 to S750) included in the authentication data providing method of FIG. 7. For example, the processor 222 and the structural elements of the processor 222 can execute instructions based on the code of the operating system included in the storage 221 and the code of at least one program.

Among them, the structural elements of the processor 222 may present the instructions of the processor 222 executed by the processor 222 according to the instructions provided by the program code stored in the server 150 (as an example, the instructions provided by the application driven in the server 150) Different functions. For example, the server 150 presents the available authentication data receiving unit 610 as a function of controlling the processor 222 of the server 150 according to the above-mentioned instructions in such a manner as to receive authentication data related to the first user provided information from the first user terminal.

In step S710, the processor 222 may acquire necessary instructions from the storage 221 that loads instructions related to the control of the server 150. In this case, the instructions read above may include instructions for the processor 222 to perform steps (S720 to S750) described later.

In step S720, the authentication data receiving section 610 may receive authentication data related to information provided by the first user from the first user terminal (for example, the first terminal electronic device 110). At this time, the authentication data is generated based on a plurality of images including user-related images related to the first user. Specifically, the authentication data related to the first user-provided information received from the first user terminal 110 may be captured in the at least one lens of the first user terminal by using the first lens to capture at least one user related to the first user The relevant object is thus generated based on the acquired user-related image, and at least one target object is photographed from the second lens in the at least one lens, thereby being generated based on the acquired object image. The user-related image and the object image are generated by simultaneously photographing at least one user-related object and at least one target object by the first image and the second image.

Although not shown in the figure, the server 150 may further include an information receiving section, and the information receiving section may receive the first user-provided information including authentication target information from the first user terminal 110.

In step S730, the data management section 620 may associate the authentication data received from the first user terminal 110 with the first user provided information. In addition, the data management unit 620 associates the received authentication data with the first user provided information and stores the authentication data in the storage 221.

In step S740, the request receiving part 630 may receive a verification data request related to the information provided by the first user from the second user terminal (for example, the electronic device 120 of the second user). In connection with this, before receiving the verification data request related to the information provided by the first user from the second user terminal 120, the server 150 responds to the directory request from the candidate verification object of the second user terminal 120 to the second user terminal. 120 Transmit candidate verification objects. At this time, the server 150 uses the user information of the second user to determine the candidate verification object. For example, the server 150 uses the social graph information of the second user on the social network service (for example, whether the first user and the second user have a close relationship), the verification history of the second user (for example, whether the second user The confirmation information related to the user-provided information is transmitted more than a specified number of times) and the verification reliability of the second user (for example, the reliability of the confirmation information related to the user-provided information received from the second user) is determined based on The two user terminals 120 transmit candidate verification objects and/or determine the transmitted candidate verification objects.

In step S750, the authentication data transmission section 640 transmits authentication data to the second user terminal in response to the verification data request from the second user terminal.

Although not shown in the figure, if the server 150 receives confirmation information related to the first user provided information from the second user terminal, the data management unit 620 may also associate the confirmation information with the first user provided information. And, the server 150 can complete the verification step for the information provided by the user.

As an example, the server 150 receives confirmation information related to the first user provided information from other different user terminals for a predetermined number of times or more in order to complete the verification step related to the user provided information. In a case where it is confirmed from other different user terminals that the user provides information above a predetermined ratio, the server 150 may complete the verification step as “verified” for the first user to provide information. For example, receiving 4 "confirmed" and 1 "unconfirmed" confirmation information related to user-provided information from 5 different user terminals (70% or more as a predetermined ratio) to confirm user-provided information at 80% In the case of, provide information to the user and associate the final verification result with "verified" to complete the verification step. As another example, when the server 150 receives confirmation information related to the first user provided information from a plurality of terminals, the data management unit 620 associates the confirmation information received from each user terminal with the first user provided information and serves as Each user's verification activity history is stored. At this time, the server 150 calculates the verification reliability of each user from the verification activity history of each user based on whether each confirmation information received from the corresponding user terminal is the same as the final verification result of the information provided by the corresponding user. For example, when receiving confirmation information for 10 pieces of user-provided information from the second user terminal, information is provided to 9 pieces of user, and the confirmation information from the second user terminal is the same as the final verification result. When the information is determined to be different from the confirmation information of the second user terminal and the final verification result, the verification reliability of the second user may be 90%.

FIG. 13 exemplarily illustrates a process from generating authentication data to using authentication data in another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13, the server 150 encrypts the image and image information received from the electronic device 110 of the first user to generate authentication data, and transmits the above information to the electronic device 120 of the second user.

1360. The server 150 may receive confirmation information regarding data provided by the user from the electronic device 120.

Referring to FIG. 14 of another embodiment of the present invention, the first user electronic device 110 does not transmit to the second user electronic device 120 through the server. Another example related to the generation and use of authentication data 1401 based on this is as follows.

1410. The electronic device 110 that receives the authentication data generation request related to the user-provided information from the first user encrypts the acquired plurality of images and image information to generate authentication data 1401 related to the user-provided information.

1420. The electronic device 110 may transmit to the server 150 an authentication request related to information provided by the user.
