FIG. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method for providing authentication data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The electronic devices 110 , 120 , 130 , and 140 of this embodiment provide authentication data using applications installed in the respective electronic devices.

The processor 212 and the components of the processor 212 of the electronic device 110 of this embodiment control the electronic device 110 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 an operating system and codes of at least one program.

In step S410 , the processor 212 may read necessary instructions from the storage 211 loaded with instructions related to the control of the electronic device 110 . In this case, the command read above includes a command for control so 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 so that the user can input the above-mentioned user-provided information, and can receive an input related to authentication target information from the user as the provided information. Also, the electronic device 110 may store the input related to the authentication object information input from the user in the storage 211 as user provided information. The electronic device 110 may receive user-provided information and an authentication data generation request related to the user-provided information. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 receives a selection related to one of the user-provided information received and stored before the authentication data generation request together with the authentication data generation request. Thus, the electronic device 110 can establish a relationship between the authentication data generation request and the information provided by the corresponding user.

In step S430, the processor 212 utilizes at least one lens to capture at least one user-related object identifying the user in response to the authentication data generation request, thereby acquiring a plurality of images.

Wherein, one of the plurality of generated images is related to the user-related object captured by the lens, and the rest are related to the target object related to the information provided by the user.

The processor 212 enables at least one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110 to enable the first lens to capture a first image related to the first direction, and the second lens different from the first lens to capture a first image related to the first direction. Two directions are related to the second image. That is, the processor 212 obtains a first image of an object related to at least one user from a first shot of the at least one shot, and obtains a second image of at least one target object related to information provided by the user from a second shot of the at least one shot. image.

At this time, the processor 212 enables the first lens and the second lens to capture at least one user-related object and at least one target object simultaneously, so as to generate the first image and the second image. As an example, the processor 212 enables the front camera and the rear camera attached to the electronic device 110 to capture the shop owner and the shop at the same time, respectively, to acquire the shop owner's image and the shop's image.

The processor 212 acquires a first image of at least one user-related object taken at a specific time point from a first shot of the at least one shot, and acquires a first image of at least one user-related object taken at a time point different from the specific time point from a second shot of the at least one shot. A second image is captured of the user-provided information about the at least one target object. That is, the processor 212 enables one of the at least one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110 to capture the user-related object, and after a predetermined time elapses from the time point when the first image is captured, one of the more than one lenses Shoot the target subject. The predetermined time is a value that can be predetermined by an application configured on the electronic device 110 , and can also be a value determined by a user. As an example, the predetermined time is the minimum time required for continuous shooting of two subjects in the first shot or the second shot.

The processor 212 enables the first lens among the more than one lens electrically connected to the electronic device 110 to capture both the user-related object and the target object. As an example, the processor 212 causes the camera included in the electronic device 110 to take a photo of a shop, and takes a photo of the owner after a predetermined time has elapsed. The processor 212 may rotate the lens of the lens by an arbitrary angle within a predetermined time in order to photograph the owner of the store (ie, to obtain an image of the owner of the store). Wherein, the angle of the rotating lens may be a predetermined value set in the application of 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 enables the first lens to capture the first image, and enables the second lens to capture the second image. As an example, the processor 212 makes the rear camera of the electronic device 110 take a photo of the store, and after a predetermined time, makes the front camera of the electronic device 110 take a photo of the owner. As another example, the processor 212 enables the rear camera and the front camera of the electronic device 110 to photograph the store and the owner at the same time.

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

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

Referring to FIG. 8 , the processor 212 causes the display device 800 of the electronic device 110 to display a shooting guide 810 , a “QR code generation” user interface 820 , a “first shot preview” user interface 830 , and a “second shot preview” user interface 840 . The processor 212 may receive input from the first user on the "QR code generation" user interface 820 as an authentication data generation request related to user provided information. The processor 212 responds to input on the "QR code generation" user interface 820 to automatically capture (i.e., without additional input from the first user) the user-related object and the target object, whereby a first image comprising the first image and a second image may be obtained. Multiple images of images. As mentioned above, after inputting into the "QR code generation" user interface 820 based on the first user, the multiple images for the first user to generate the QR code cannot be edited, therefore, the processor 212 prompts the user to take multiple images. The shooting guide 810 is provided in a manner of authenticating an object of an image. And, the processor 212 may provide the 'first lens preview' user interface 830 or the 'second lens preview' user interface 840 in such a manner that the user can confirm in advance the image captured by the first lens or the second lens. Referring also to FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, the processor 212 According to the input on the "first camera preview" user interface 830 based on the first user, the display device 800, 900 displays the image 830 input from the front camera, and according to the "second camera preview" user interface 840 based on the first user. input, the display device 800, 900 displays the image 935 input from the rear camera. The processor 212 causes the display devices 800, 900 to display a "first shot preview" user interface 910 and a "second shot preview" user interface 915, thereby prompting the first user for a preview related to any shot. 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 , so that the first user can be reminded of the shooting objects related to each lens.

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

At this time, the authentication data is generated using position information of the electronic device 110 or at least one lens related to the plurality of images. The processor 212 may associate the location information of the electronic device 110 identified from the GPS module of the electronic device 110 with the location information of the first image and/or the location information of the second image. In the case that the lens connected to the electronic device 110 can obtain the position information, the electronic device 110 may receive the position information of the lens from the lens, and the processor 212 may combine the position information of the corresponding lens with the position information of the first image and/or The location information of the second image is associated. The processor 212 may store the location information of the first image and/or the location information of the second image as the location information corresponding to the authentication data.

Authentication data may also be generated using graphical information relating to the first image, the second image, or a plurality of 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 location information.

Processor 212 generates visually encoded information as authentication data based on the plurality of images. Visually coded information can include barcodes, QR codes, two-dimensional matrix codes, color codes, three-dimensional codes or image code. Additionally, processor 212 may encrypt store images, store owner images, and GPS values of electronic devices 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 location information 1030 of the store image to generate a QR code 1040 as authentication data.

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

In step S450, the processor 212 may transmit the authentication data through the network. As an example, the processor 212 may receive an authentication data transmission request from the first user, thereby transmitting 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 capable of helping the first user 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 the authentication data 301 is generated.

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

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

FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing the process of an electronic device executing a method for displaying verification data according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The processor 232 of the electronic device 120 and the components of the processor 232 control the electronic device 120 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 codes of an operating system and codes of at least one program included in the storage 231 .

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

In step S520 , the processor 232 transmits a list request related to candidate verification objects 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 list related to the candidate verification object may be a user confirmed by the server 150 to have verification personnel authority. The processor 232 does not display the user interface for the first input to the user who does not have permission to request the directory related to the candidate verification object.

A catalog request related to a candidate verification object may contain location information of the electronic device 120 . At this time, the processor 232 can identify the location from the GPS module of the electronic device 120 . The catalog request related to candidate verification objects may also include candidate conditions specified by the second user. As an example, the second user may specify a predetermined distance (for example, within 1 km) from the location 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 may further include the second user information of the electronic device 120 . Thus, in addition to a small number of users predetermined by the payment service provider, among social network service users, users who volunteer to be verifiers can request a list related to candidate verification objects.

In step S530 , the processor 232 receives candidate verification objects related to the catalog request from the server 150 to make the output device display the candidate catalogs. The candidate directory may contain information related to the authentication object (for example, objects that need to be authenticated, such as store name, location, etc.) or the authentication requester (for example, the first user who provides the first user related to the authentication data generation request or the information about the authentication object. user) related information. At this time, the processor 232 may display the condition information related to the catalog request specified by the user together with the follow-up department directory. 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 include information on authentication objects 1122 such as store names "LINE STORE" and "CAFÉ X" and information on authentication requesters 1123 such as "James" and "Sally". The information on the authentication requesting person 1123 may include at least one of information on an identifier or a real name on a social network 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 based on the condition (within 1 km) related to the list request specified by the second user. Processor 232 may receive selection 1124 of a second item (store name "LINE STORE") in candidate catalog 1120 from a second user. The processor 232 transmits the verification data request related to the first item to the server 150 in response to the second user's input on the “verification data viewing” user interface 1130 in the state of selecting the first item.

Referring again to FIG. 5 , in step S550 , the processor 232 may receive one of the authentication data related to the authentication data request from the server 150 . For example, the processor 232 may receive the first code (eg, 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 one 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 corresponding to the 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 specified range from the location 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, when it is judged that the predetermined decoding condition is satisfied, the processor 232 may decode the received authentication data, and make the output device display the authentication data including the decoded authentication data. As an example, the processor 232 enables the electronic device 120 to receive the decoding key from the server 150 or acquire the decoding key from the storage 231 of the electronic device 120 .

12, the processor 232 decodes the first code as the authentication data related to the first item (store name "LINE STORE") to obtain the first image 1213, the second image 1214, the shooting time 1215 and the shooting location. 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. At this time, the verification data 1210 may include user-provided information related to the first item (the store name "LINE STORE") such as the store owner name 1211 and the store name 1212, the second image 1213, the second image 1214, the shooting time 1215 and Capture location 1216 and other decoded authentication data.

In step S570, the processor 232 transmits confirmation information related to the information provided by the user to the server in response to the third input of the second user. 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 inputs the third input including whether to confirm the user-provided information such as the shop name 1211 and the shop owner name 1212 through the display device 1200 of the electronic device 120 . 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 a user comment entered by the user on the comment user interface 1224 .

In relation to FIG. 5, as described above, the second user transmits to the server a request for verification data related to at least one item in the candidate list, when the second user transmits the request for verification data to the server 150 without item selection. In some cases, the server 150 determines one of the authentication data according to the user information to transmit to the electronic device 120 . That is, according to an embodiment, steps S520 to S540 of FIG. 5 may be omitted.

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

To implement the authentication data providing method in FIG. 7 , as shown in FIG. 6 , the processor 222 of the server 150 may include an authentication data receiving unit 610 , a data management unit 620 , a request receiving unit 630 and an authentication data transmission unit 640 . Depending on the embodiment, structural elements of the processor 222 are selectively included in the processor 222 or eliminated. And, according to an 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 components of the processor 222 control the server 150 so 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 and the code of at least one program included in the storage 221 .

Among them, the structural elements of the processor 222 can represent the functions 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, server 150 starts with The method of receiving the authentication data related to the information provided by the first user from the first user terminal may use the authentication data receiving unit 610 as a function of the processor 222 of the control server 150 according to the above instruction.

In step S710 , the processor 222 may obtain necessary instructions from the storage 221 loaded with instructions related to the control of the server 150 . In this case, the read instructions may include instructions for the processor 222 to execute the steps ( S720 to S750 ) described later.

In step S720, the authentication data receiving unit 610 may receive authentication data related to the 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 information provided by the first user received from the first user terminal 110 can be captured by at least one user related to the first user through the first lens in at least one lens of the first user terminal. The relevant object is thus generated based on the obtained user-related image, and at least one target object is photographed from a second shot of the at least one shot, thereby generated based on the obtained object image. The user-related image and the object image are generated by simultaneously shooting at least one user-related object and at least one target object in the first image and the second image.

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

In step S730, the data management unit 620 may associate the authentication data received from the first user terminal 110 with the information provided by the first user. Furthermore, 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 unit 630 may receive a verification data request related to information provided by the first user from the second user terminal (eg, the second user's electronic device 120). Related to this, the server 150 receives the authentication data related to the information provided by the first user from the second user terminal 120 The candidate verification object is transmitted to the second user terminal 120 in response to a catalog request from the second user terminal 120 related to the candidate verification object prior to the request. At this time, the server 150 uses the user information of the second user to determine candidate verification objects. 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 activity history of the second user (for example, whether the second user transmission of confirmation information related to user-provided information more than a predetermined number of times) and the reliability of the verification of the second user (for example, the reliability of previous confirmation information related to user-provided information received from the second user) etc. The second user terminal 120 transmits the candidate verification object and/or determines the transmitted candidate verification object.

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

Although not shown in the figure, if the server 150 receives confirmation information related to the information provided by the first user from the second user terminal, the data management unit 620 may also associate the confirmation information with the information provided by the first user. Moreover, 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 more than a predetermined number of times in order to complete the verification step related to the user provided information. In the case where the user provided information is confirmed to be more than a predetermined ratio from other different user terminals, the server 150 may complete the verification step as "verified" for the first user provided information. For example, by receiving 4 "confirmed" and 1 "unconfirmed" confirmation information related to user provided information from 5 mutually 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. associated and stored as the authentication activity history of each user. 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 user-provided information from the second user terminal, and 9 user-provided information, the confirmation information from the second user terminal is the same as the final verification result, and the 1 user provided information If the information is judged 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 schematically illustrates the process from generating authentication data to using authentication data according to 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 information to the electronic device 120 of the second user. Another example of the generation and use of the authentication data 1301 of the present invention is as follows.

1310. The server 150 may receive from the electronic device 110 of the first user an authentication data transmission request related to the information provided by the user. At this time, the authentication data transmission request may include a plurality of images and image information acquired by the electronic device of the first user.

1320 . The server 150 generates the authentication data 1301 by using the plurality of images and image information received from the electronic device 110 .

1330. The server 150 may receive a verification data request related to the information provided by the user from the electronic device 120.

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

Referring to FIG. 14 of another embodiment of the present invention, the first user's electronic device 110 does not transmit to the second user's electronic device 120 through a 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 information provided by the user from the first user encrypts the acquired images and image information to generate authentication data 1401 related to the information provided by the user.

1420. The electronic device 110 may transmit a verification request related to the information provided by the user to the server 150. Through the verification request, the server 150 may receive information that the electronic device 110 generates authentication data related to the information provided by the user.

1430. The electronic device 110 may receive from the electronic device 120 a verification data request related to the information provided by the user.

1440. The electronic device 110 transmits to the electronic device 120 the authentication data 140 related to the information provided by the user in response to the verification data request. When the server 150 or the electronic device 120 determines that the verification data request satisfies a predetermined decoding condition, the electronic device 120 decodes the received verification data 1401 to display the verification data.

1450. The electronic device 120 receives confirmation information related to the data provided by the user input from the second user, and transmits the above information to the server 150.
