Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a beneficial shareholder authentication server and an online general meeting of shareholders participation program in an online service, and more specifically, to a beneficial shareholder authentication server and an online general meeting of shareholders participation program in an online service capable of blocking the participation of ineligible persons who are not shareholders in an online general meeting of shareholders. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, the general meeting of shareholders is the highest decision-making body composed of the shareholders of a joint-stock company. In this case, all shareholders of the said joint-stock company have voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders.

[0004] Generally, shareholders exercise their voting rights through the following methods. As one method of exercising voting rights, shareholders may exercise their voting rights by attending the general meeting of shareholders in person. Additionally, as another method of exercising voting rights, shareholders may decide whether to vote and grant a proxy to another shareholder to exercise the voting rights. Furthermore, as yet another method of exercising voting rights, shareholders may grant a proxy to an agent to exercise their voting rights on their behalf.

[0005] However, due to the complexity of modern life and the busy daily lives of shareholders, the rate at which shareholders directly participate in general shareholder meetings and exercise their voting rights is gradually decreasing.

[0006] Meanwhile, recently, due to the prolonged pandemic and advancements in IT technology, the concept of "ontact" has been introduced by adding "on" (connection with the outside world through online means) to "untact," a neologism meaning non-face-to-face contact.

[0007] In other words, Ontact is a method of continuing communication online, with remote classes and video conferences being typical examples.

[0008] In line with these trends, online general shareholder meetings are also gradually becoming more widespread recently.

[0009] In this case, when holding an online general meeting of shareholders, it is necessary to verify whether the person accessing the site broadcasting the meeting is actually a shareholder eligible to participate in the meeting.

[0010] The safest or most reliable method to verify shareholder status is to obtain resident registration numbers from users, but under the Personal Information Protection Act, the online transmission of resident registration numbers is strictly restricted.

[0011] Consequently, verification is inevitably limited to unstable information susceptible to manipulation or errors, such as names and addresses, making it difficult to expect proper verification in this case.

[0012] As a result, a large number of ineligible individuals with specific purposes, such as obstructing proceedings, may enter the online general meeting of shareholders.

[0013] As such, if a large number of ineligible individuals enter the online general meeting of shareholders, their activities may cause unexpected disruption, which could hinder the smooth conduct of the meeting and lead to delays in important decision-making. The problem to be solved

[0015] The technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a beneficial shareholder authentication server and an online general meeting of shareholders participation program in an online service that can block the participation of ineligible persons who are not shareholders in an online general meeting of shareholders.

[0016] Another technical problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a beneficial shareholder authentication server and an online general meeting of shareholders participation program in an online service that can facilitate the direct participation of shareholders in a general meeting of shareholders.

[0017] The technical problems that the present invention aims to solve are not limited to those described above. means of solving the problem

[0018] To solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the present invention provides a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service.

[0019] According to one embodiment, the actual shareholder authentication server in the online service comprises: a participation application receiving module that receives a participation application from a prospective participant for a general meeting of shareholders through identity verification of the prospective participant who wishes to participate in the general meeting of shareholders, and receives shareholder authentication information from the prospective participant upon receiving the participation application; a shareholder verification module that approves the prospective participant as a shareholder eligible to participate in the general meeting of shareholders and converts the status of the prospective participant to a participant when the shareholder authentication information received from the prospective participant matches one of the shareholder information stored in a database; and an access code issuance module that pre-issues access codes to a live broadcast site where the general meeting of shareholders is broadcast and a question registration site where questions can be registered so that the participant can watch the general meeting of shareholders and register questions related to the general meeting of shareholders on the day the general meeting of shareholders is held, wherein the shareholder authentication information may include at least one of a postal code and the number of shares held, in addition to a real name number defined as the first seven digits of a resident registration number in the case of an individual and a business registration number in the case of a corporation.

[0020] According to one embodiment, the system further includes a question filtering module, wherein, on the day the general meeting of shareholders is held, if a question is received on the question registration site, the question filtering module recognizes the questioner as an ineligible person who is not qualified to participate in the general meeting of shareholders if the postal code provided by the questioner does not match any of the postal codes included in the multiple shareholder information already stored in the database, and filters the question received by the questioner so that it is not registered on the question registration site.

[0021] Meanwhile, the present invention provides an online shareholder meeting participation program.

[0022] According to one embodiment, the online general meeting of shareholders participation program may be stored on a computer-readable recording medium to execute: a pre-registration application step in which a pre-registration application unit is executed so that a prospective participant who wishes to participate in the general meeting of shareholders can apply for pre-registration for participation in the general meeting of shareholders by accessing an app or website that guides the general meeting of shareholders and entering personal authentication and shareholder authentication information; and an access code issuance step in which an access code issuance unit is executed so that a participant who has been approved as a shareholder eligible to participate in the general meeting of shareholders by the aforementioned online general meeting of shareholders management server and whose status has been converted from a prospective participant to a status eligible to participate in the general meeting of shareholders can receive a pre-issued access code to a live broadcast site and a question registration site for the purpose of watching the general meeting of shareholders and registering questions related to the general meeting of shareholders on the day the general meeting of shareholders is held. Effects of the invention

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the system includes: a participation application receiving module that receives a participation application from a prospective participant who wishes to participate in a general meeting of shareholders through identity verification of the prospective participant who wishes to participate in the general meeting of shareholders, and receives shareholder authentication information from the prospective participant upon receiving the participation application; a shareholder verification module that, when the shareholder authentication information received from the prospective participant matches one of the shareholder information stored in a database, approves the prospective participant as a shareholder eligible to participate in the general meeting of shareholders and converts the status of the prospective participant into a participant; and an access code issuance module that pre-issues access codes to a live broadcast site where the general meeting of shareholders is broadcast and a question registration site where questions can be registered, so that the participant can watch the general meeting of shareholders and register questions related to the general meeting of shareholders on the day the general meeting of shareholders is held. The shareholder authentication information may include at least one of a postal code and the number of shares held, in addition to a real name number defined as the first seven digits of a resident registration number in the case of an individual and a business registration number in the case of a corporation.

[0025] Accordingly, a beneficial shareholder authentication server may be provided in an online service capable of blocking the participation of ineligible persons who are not shareholders in an online general meeting of shareholders.

[0026] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a beneficial shareholder authentication server and an online shareholder meeting participation program may be provided in an online service that can promote direct participation of shareholders in a shareholder meeting by broadcasting the shareholder meeting online.

[0035] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 to 5 are exemplary diagrams for explaining a participation application reception module of a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 are exemplary diagrams for explaining a shareholder verification module of a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to an embodiment of the present invention, and are exemplary diagrams for explaining a situation in which a person is approved as a shareholder, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are exemplary diagrams for explaining a shareholder verification module of a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to an embodiment of the present invention, and are exemplary diagrams for explaining a situation in which a person is not approved as a shareholder.

[0037] As illustrated in FIG. 1, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) is a server that manages a general meeting of shareholders of a specific joint-stock company held online.

[0038] In an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, a beneficial shareholder authentication server (100) may receive applications for participation in the form of pre-registration from prospective participants who wish to participate in an online general meeting of shareholders. Prospective participants who wish to participate in an online general meeting of shareholders may apply for participation to the beneficial shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service through their respective prospective participant terminals (P1 to Pn).

[0039] Here, eligibility for participation in the general meeting of shareholders is strictly limited to shareholders who hold shares of the relevant corporation. If a large number of ineligible individuals who are not shareholders participate in the general meeting of shareholders and obstruct the proceedings, important decision-making of the relevant corporation may be delayed, and as a result, the relevant corporation may suffer significant damages.

[0040] In the case of a typical offline general meeting of shareholders, it is easy to verify whether a prospective participant is an actual shareholder of the company by comparing their identification.

[0041] However, since the collection of personal information from prospective participants is restricted by the Personal Information Protection Act for general shareholders' meetings held online, it is inevitably more difficult to verify whether someone is a shareholder compared to offline meetings.

[0042] Accordingly, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) must thoroughly screen out ineligible individuals who are not shareholders of the relevant joint-stock company from among a number of prospective participants who have applied for participation through their respective prospective participant terminals (P1 to Pn) in order to successfully manage the general meeting of shareholders held online.

[0043] That is, the success or failure of a general meeting of shareholders held online depends on how much the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service according to one embodiment of the present invention blocks the participation of non-shareholders among a large number of prospective participants who wish to participate in the general meeting of shareholders held online.

[0044] To this end, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, a beneficial shareholder authentication server (100) can verify whether prospective participants who have applied to participate in an online general meeting of shareholders are shareholders of the relevant corporation based on the postal code of the shareholder's address.

[0045] In addition, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can convert the status of prospective participants, who have been verified and approved as shareholders, into participants eligible to participate in an online general meeting of shareholders or participants invited to an online general meeting of shareholders. That is, the aforementioned participants are shareholders of the relevant joint-stock company. At this time, the shareholders may include individuals and legal entities.

[0046] For example, if a number of prospective participants who wish to participate in an online general meeting of shareholders apply for pre-registration to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders through their respective prospective participant terminals (P1 to Pn) to the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service can verify whether they are shareholders of the relevant joint-stock company based on shareholder authentication information including postal codes provided by the prospective participants.

[0047] At this time, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service can convert the status of prospective participants who have applied for prior registration through prospective participant terminals (P1 to P3) into that of a prospective participant, meaning that they are shareholders of the relevant joint-stock company, when they are approved as shareholders through verification, and can provide all information that allows them to participate as shareholders in the online general meeting of shareholders held on the prospective participant terminals (P1', P2', P3') owned by them.

[0048] Here, the above-mentioned prospective participant terminal (P) and subject participant terminal (P') may be a PC or smartphone capable of communicating with the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 2, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, a beneficial shareholder authentication server (100) may include a participation application reception module (110), a shareholder verification module (120), a first access code issuance module (130), and a second access code issuance module (140).

[0052] The participation application receiving module (110) can receive participation applications from prospective participants who wish to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders through the prospective participant terminal (P).

[0053] Specifically, the participation application receiving module (110) can receive a participation application from a prospective participant for the online general meeting of shareholders by verifying the identity of the prospective participant who wishes to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders. At this time, when the participation application receiving module (110) receives the participation application from the prospective participant, it can receive shareholder authentication information from the prospective participant.

[0054] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the participation application receiving module (110) may receive shareholder authentication information from a prospective participant, which includes at least one of the prospective participant's address postal code and the number of shares held, in addition to the shareholder name, i.e., the prospective participant's name and real name number.

[0055] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the real name number may be defined as the first 7 digits of the resident registration number in the case of an individual, and as the business registration number in the case of a corporation.

[0056] Meanwhile, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in an online service, a beneficial shareholder authentication server (100) can receive a participation application from a prospective participant in a pre-registration manner through a participation application reception module (110).

[0057] To this end, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service can, for example, provide notice of the scheduled online general meeting of shareholders on the homepage of the relevant company.

[0058] Accordingly, prospective participants who wish to attend the online general meeting of shareholders can access the website of the relevant company and proceed with the pre-registration process by clicking the online general meeting of shareholders pop-up guide page and pre-registration link displayed on the website.

[0059] Here, the above pre-registration procedure may include, for example, a terms and conditions agreement procedure, an identity verification procedure, and a shareholder authentication information input procedure, and may additionally include an email or SMS validation procedure.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 3, the participation application receiving module (110) can output a terms and conditions agreement window (11), which is the first step of the pre-registration procedure, on the screen of the participant terminal (P) when a participant wishes to participate clicks the pre-registration link through the participant terminal (P).

[0061] The participation application reception module (110) can switch windows so that, if a prospective participant agrees to the terms and conditions for online broadcasting of a general meeting of shareholders displayed in the above-mentioned terms and conditions agreement window (11), for example, the second step of the pre-registration procedure can proceed.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 4, the participation application receiving module (110) can display an identity verification window (12), which is the second step of the pre-registration procedure, on the screen of the participant's terminal (P) when the participant completes the agreement to the terms and conditions. Accordingly, the participant can authenticate their identity using at least one of mobile phone authentication, joint certificate authentication, and account authentication.

[0063] The participation application receiving module (110) can switch windows so that the third step of the pre-registration process can proceed once the identity verification of the prospective participant is completed.

[0064] Referring to FIG. 5, the participation application receiving module (110) can display the shareholder authentication information input window (13), which is the third step of the pre-registration procedure, on the screen of the participant terminal (P) when the participant's identity is authenticated.

[0065] Accordingly, the participation application receiving module (110) receives shareholder authentication information entered by the prospective participant.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the shareholder authentication information may include the name (shareholder name) of the prospective participant, and at least one of the postal code of the address and the number of shares held, in addition to the real name number.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reason for specifically requesting the postal code as shareholder authentication information is that, in the case of an address, it may be unclear whether it is a road name address or a lot number address, and it may also be unclear whether the entered address is a company address or a home address. Furthermore, it may be unclear whether it is a previous workplace address or a current workplace address, or a previous home address or a current home address. Additionally, in the case of an address, accurate identification may be difficult due to spacing errors, spelling errors, English display errors, etc.

[0068] Accordingly, using an address as shareholder authentication information may increase the probability of authentication failure. In other words, if an address is used, errors may occur where an ineligible person is approved as a shareholder, or an actual shareholder is identified as ineligible and disapproved.

[0069] On the other hand, since a zip code is a numerical representation of an address, there is almost no possibility of error; accordingly, if a zip code is used as shareholder authentication information, the probability of failure in shareholder authentication can be minimized.

[0070] A participation application receiving module (110) according to one embodiment of the present invention receives a pre-registration application for participation in an online general meeting of shareholders from a prospective participant when the email validation, which is the final pre-registration procedure, is completed.

[0071] That is, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a prospective participant agrees to the terms and conditions for the online broadcast of the general meeting of shareholders of the relevant company, provides shareholder authentication information after identity verification, and undergoes email validation, thereby allowing a pre-registration application for the online general meeting of shareholders to be finally received by the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service through the participation application reception module (110).

[0073] Referring again to FIG. 2, the shareholder verification module (120) can verify shareholder authentication information provided by a prospective participant who has applied to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders.

[0074] The shareholder verification module (120) can approve a prospective participant who has passed the verification of shareholder authentication information as a shareholder.

[0075] Additionally, the shareholder verification module (120) can determine that a prospective participant who has not passed the verification of shareholder authentication information is ineligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders. That is, the shareholder verification module (120) can determine that a prospective participant who has not passed the verification of shareholder authentication information is not a shareholder of the relevant company.

[0076] In this way, to verify the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant, the shareholder verification module (120) can verify the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant based on the shareholder information of the relevant company that is already stored in the database (DB).

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the shareholder information stored in the database (DB) may include: 1. issuing company customer number; 2. record date of rights; 3. shareholder name (name, corporate name, product name, etc.); 4. real name number (first 7 digits of resident registration number for an individual, business registration number for a corporation); 5. special account shareholder number; 6. beneficial shareholder number; 7. domestic / foreigner classification (indicated - domestic, foreigner); 8. country code (indicated - KR, US, CA, etc.); 9. corporate classification (indicated - individual, domestic individual, domestic securities company, insurance company, private equity fund, bank, general corporation, securities company, investment trust); 10. number of shares held; 11. postal code; and 12. address.

[0078] Here, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can build the database (DB) by receiving shareholder information from the relevant joint-stock company.

[0079] As another example, the aforementioned database (DB) storing the shareholder information of the relevant corporation may be provided externally. For example, the aforementioned database (DB) may be the database of the Korea Securities Depository or the customer management database of the relevant corporation.

[0080] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the shareholder verification module (120) may approve the prospective participant as a shareholder eligible to participate in an online general meeting of shareholders when the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant matches one of the shareholder information already stored in a database (DB). The shareholder verification module (120) may convert the status of the prospective participant approved as a shareholder to that of a participant.

[0081] Referring to FIG. 6, the shareholder verification module (120) can compare the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant with the shareholder information in the matching table prepared in the database (DB).

[0082] First, the shareholder verification module (120) can check if there is a shareholder name in the matching table that matches the name provided as shareholder authentication information.

[0083] For example, the shareholder verification module (120) can check the shareholder name that matches the name of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table.

[0084] At this time, the shareholder verification module (120) can proceed with the shareholder verification step after distinguishing whether the prospective participant is an individual (individual, domestic individual) or a corporation. Here, in the case of a corporation, since the entire 10-digit business registration number, which is a unique value, is stored in the shareholder information already stored in the database (DB), 100% verification is possible.

[0085] On the other hand, in the case of individuals, the entire resident registration number, which is a unique value, is not provided in accordance with the Personal Information Protection Act.

[0086] Accordingly, the shareholder verification module (120) according to one embodiment of the present invention can further perform a series of verification processes as follows for prospective participants classified as individuals to improve verification reliability.

[0087] The shareholder verification module (120) can verify whether the real name number of "Kim Ju-sik" provided as shareholder authentication information matches the real name number of shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table when a shareholder name matching the name of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" is confirmed in the matching table.

[0088] For example, the shareholder verification module (120) can check whether the real name number "710130-1" of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the real name number of the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table.

[0089] Next, the shareholder verification module (120) can verify whether the zip code of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the zip code of the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table, if it is confirmed that the real name number of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the real name number of the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table.

[0090] For example, the shareholder verification module (120) can check whether the postal code "67894" of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the postal code of the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table.

[0091] Finally, the shareholder verification module (120) can verify whether the number of shares held by the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the number of shares held by the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table when it is confirmed that the postal code of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the postal code of the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table.

[0092] For example, the shareholder verification module (120) can check whether the number of shares "100,000" held by the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the number of shares held by the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table.

[0093] The shareholder verification module (120) can convert the status of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" into a participant by approving the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" as a shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" eligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders when it is finally confirmed that the number of shares held by the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" matches the number of shares held by the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table. That is, the shareholder authentication module (120) can recognize the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" as a shareholder "Kim Ju-sik".

[0094] In this way, the shareholder verification module (120) can verify that the prospective participant is the same person as the shareholder stored in the database (DB) if there is a matching table list in the database (DB) where the shareholder information that matches the name, real name number, zip code, and number of shares held provided by the prospective participant is present.

[0095] For example, in the case of Samsung Electronics, the company with the largest number of domestic shareholders, there are more than 20,000 instances where the name and real-name number—that is, the name and the first seven digits of the resident registration number—are the same. In this case, if the postal code is verified for the 20,000 instances where the name and real-name number overlap, fewer than 10 duplicate cases are found. Additionally, if the number of shares held is verified for the 20,000 instances where the name and real-name number overlap, fewer than 10 duplicate cases are found.

[0096] And for the 20,000 cases where the name and real name number overlap, if we verify whether the number of shares held matches in addition to the zip code, 100% verification may be possible. In other words, if verification is performed through the matching of the name, real name number, zip code, and number of shares held in this way, the probability of duplicate cases occurring converges to 0.

[0097] Referring to FIG. 7, when the shareholder verification module (120) approves a prospective participant as a shareholder through verification of the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant, it can output a message window (21) guiding shareholder approval to the terminal (P') of the prospective participant who has been converted from a prospective participant to a participant.

[0098] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 8, the shareholder verification module (120) can determine that the prospective participant is ineligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders if the shareholder name and real name number matching the prospective participant's name are confirmed in the matching table but the postal code is not a match.

[0099] For example, the shareholder verification module (120) may determine that the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" is ineligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders, even if the shareholder name and real name number matching the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" are in the matching table list prepared in the database (DB), but the zip code of the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" is "67894" while the zip code of the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table list is "12345".

[0100] That is, the shareholder verification module (120) can recognize that "Participant Kim Ju-sik" and the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table list are different people.

[0101] At this time, the shareholder verification module (120) may determine that the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" is ineligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders due to a postal code mismatch, even if the number of shares held by the prospective participant "Kim Ju-sik" and the number of shares held by the shareholder "Kim Ju-sik" in the matching table list are the same.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 9, if the shareholder verification module (120) determines that a prospective participant is ineligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders through verification of the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant, it can output a message window (21) indicating the disapproval of the shareholder to the prospective participant's terminal (P).

[0103] In one embodiment of the present invention, the shareholder verification module (120) is exemplified as approving the prospective participant as a shareholder when the name (shareholder name), real name number, postal code, and number of shares held by the prospective participant all match the name, real name number, postal code, and number of shares held by the shareholder stored in the database (DB). However, as another example, the shareholder verification module (120) may be configured to approve the prospective participant as a shareholder even when the name, real name number, and postal code among the prospective participant's name, real name number, postal code, and number of shares held match the name, real name number, and postal code of the shareholder stored in the database (DB).

[0104] In addition, as another example, the shareholder verification module (120) may be configured to approve the prospective participant as a shareholder even if the name, real name number, and number of shares held among the prospective participant's name, real name number, zip code, and number of shares held match the name, real name number, and number of shares held of a shareholder stored in the database (DB).

[0105] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, shareholder authentication information provided by a prospective participant who wishes to participate in an online general meeting of shareholders is exemplified as being automatically verified through a shareholder verification module (120), but the verification of shareholder authentication information may also be performed manually by a server administrator who manages the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service.

[0107] Referring again to FIG. 2, the first access code issuance module (130) can issue an access code in advance to a live broadcast site where a general meeting of shareholders is broadcast to a participant whose status has been changed from a prospective participant to a participant who has been approved as a shareholder by the shareholder verification module (120).

[0108] Accordingly, a participant who has received an access code for a live broadcast site of the general shareholders' meeting from the first access code issuance module (130) in advance can enter a page to watch the general shareholders' meeting by clicking the live broadcast viewing URL linked to the homepage of the relevant company and then entering the access code received on the day the online general shareholders' meeting is held.

[0109] Additionally, the second access code issuance module (140) can pre-issue an access code to a question registration site where questions related to the general meeting of shareholders can be registered to a participant approved as a shareholder by the shareholder verification module (120).

[0110] Accordingly, a participant who has received an access code for a question registration site from the second access code issuance module (140) can enter a page where questions can be registered by clicking the question registration URL linked to the homepage of the company and then entering the access code received.

[0111] Here, the first access code issuance module (130) and the second access code issuance module (140) may be provided as a single integrated access code issuance module. For example, a single integrated access code issuance module can issue to the participants both an access code to a live broadcast site where the general meeting of shareholders is broadcast and an access code to a question registration site where questions can be registered.

[0112] As another example, a single integrated access code issuance module can issue a single access code to a participant for both the live broadcast site and the question registration site. Accordingly, the participant can access both the live broadcast site and the question registration site using a single access code.

[0114] Continuing, referring to FIG. 2, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) may further include a question filtering module (150).

[0115] The question filtering module (150) can filter out questions from ineligible individuals so that the smooth progress of the online general meeting of shareholders is not hindered by indiscriminate questions from ineligible individuals who are not shareholders on the day the online general meeting of shareholders is held.

[0116] The question filtering module (150) can verify whether the questioner who submitted the question is a shareholder when a question is submitted to the question registration site on the day the online general meeting of shareholders is held.

[0117] For example, on the day the online general meeting of shareholders is held, a questioner who accesses the question registration site to submit a question may provide their address's zip code when submitting the question.

[0118] Accordingly, the question filtering module (150) according to one embodiment of the present invention can recognize the questioner as a shareholder and register the question received by the questioner on a question registration site or page if it is confirmed that the postal code provided by the questioner matches any one of the postal codes included in the plurality of shareholder information already stored in the database (DB).

[0119] On the other hand, a question filtering module (150) according to one embodiment of the present invention can filter the question received by the questioner so that it is not registered on the question registration site or page if the postal code provided by the questioner does not match any of the postal codes included in the multiple shareholder information already stored in the database (DB), by recognizing the questioner as an ineligible person who is not eligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders.

[0121] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 10, the shareholder approval process of the beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in a time-series manner.

[0123] FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the shareholder approval process of a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention in a time-series manner.

[0125] Referring to FIG. 10, first, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, a beneficial shareholder authentication server (100) can notify a prospective participant terminal (P) of the holding of an online general meeting of shareholders (S11).

[0126] Accordingly, a prospective participant can access the client company's website (the actual shareholder authentication server in the online service) through the prospective participant's terminal (P) (S12-1) and click the link for pre-registration of the general shareholders' meeting. Through this, the prospective participant can access the pre-registration page, agree to the terms and conditions for broadcasting the general shareholders' meeting online, authenticate their identity using at least one of mobile phone authentication, joint certificate authentication, and account authentication, and enter shareholder authentication information including at least one of the prospective participant's name (shareholder name), real name number, address's postal code, and number of shares held (S12-3).

[0127] By proceeding with these pre-registration procedures in sequence, prospective participants can apply for pre-registration for the online general meeting of shareholders at the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service (S12-4).

[0128] In an online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) receives a pre-registration application from a prospective participant who has undergone the pre-registration procedure as described above through the participation application reception module (110), and can provide the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant through the pre-registration procedure to the shareholder verification module (120) (S13).

[0129] Next, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service can verify the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant through the shareholder verification module (120) and determine whether to approve the shareholder (S14-1).

[0130] At this time, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service can, through the shareholder verification module (120), if the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant matches one of the shareholder information already stored in the database (DB), approve the prospective participant as a shareholder eligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders and convert the status of the prospective participant to a participant (S14-2).

[0131] Next, in the online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can provide shareholder approval information to the access code issuance module (130, 140) (S14-3).

[0132] Next, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service can issue an access code for viewing the online general meeting of shareholders and an access code for registering questions through the access code issuance module (130, 140) and provide them to the participant terminal (P') (S15).

[0133] At this time, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service may issue a single access code that allows viewing the online general meeting of shareholders and registering questions through the access code issuance module (130, 140) and provide it to the participant terminal (P').

[0134] Meanwhile, in an online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can determine that the prospective participant is an ineligible person who is not eligible to participate in the online general meeting of shareholders (S14-2) if the shareholder authentication information provided by the prospective participant through the shareholder verification module (120) does not match any of the shareholder information among the multiple shareholder information already stored in the database (DB), for example, if the shareholder name and real name number that match the prospective participant's name and real name number are stored in the database (DB) but the postal codes are different.

[0135] Accordingly, in the online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can notify the prospective participant terminal (P) of the fact that the shareholder is not approved (S14-4).

[0137] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 11, the process of registering a question of a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained in a sequential manner.

[0139] FIG. 11 is a flowchart for sequentially explaining the process of registering questions of a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0141] Referring to FIG. 11, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, a real shareholder authentication server (100) can provide a connection code for registering questions to a terminal (P') of a participant who has been approved as a shareholder through verification of shareholder authentication information and whose status has been changed from a prospective participant (S21).

[0142] Accordingly, the participant can access the question registration site through the participant terminal (P') (S22) and apply for question registration by entering the access code provided by the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service (S23).

[0143] In an online service, when a request for question registration is made through a participant terminal (P'), the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can first verify the validity of the access code (S24).

[0144] In an online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can notify the participant terminal (P') of the fact that the access code is not approved if it is confirmed that the entered access code is an invalid access code through validation of the access code (S25).

[0145] On the other hand, in an online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can verify the validity of the access code, and if it is confirmed that the entered access code is a valid access code, it can check whether the postal code provided when registering the question matches one of the postal codes included in the multiple shareholder information stored in the database (DB) (S26).

[0146] At this time, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service can check whether the shareholder name, real name number, and postal code identical to the name, real name number, and postal code entered by the questioner are stored in the database (DB).

[0147] In the online service, when the actual shareholder authentication server (100) confirms that the postal code matches, it can register the question on the question registration site (S27) and notify the participant terminal (P') of the fact that the question has been registered (S28).

[0148] On the other hand, in an online service, if the actual shareholder authentication server (100) confirms that the postal code is mismatched, it can notify the participant terminal (P') of the fact that the question was not approved (S29).

[0150] Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 12, the process of relaying a general meeting of shareholders by a server verifying actual shareholders in an online service according to an embodiment of the present invention will be explained in a sequential manner.

[0152] FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the process of relaying a general meeting of shareholders of a beneficial shareholder authentication server in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention in a time-series manner.

[0154] Referring to FIG. 12, in an online service according to one embodiment of the present invention, a beneficial shareholder authentication server (100) can provide an access code for viewing a general meeting of shareholders to a terminal (P') of a participant whose status has been changed from a prospective participant to a shareholder, by verifying the shareholder authentication information (S31).

[0155] Accordingly, the participant can access the live broadcast site of the general meeting of shareholders through the participant terminal (P') (S32), and apply to watch the general meeting of shareholders online by entering the access code provided by the actual shareholder authentication server (100) in the online service (S33).

[0156] In an online service, when a request to view an online general meeting of shareholders is made through a participant terminal (P'), the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can first verify the validity of the access code (S34).

[0157] In an online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can provide a live shareholder meeting broadcast screen to the participating terminal (P') if it is confirmed that the input connection code is a valid connection code through validation of the connection code (S35).

[0158] On the other hand, in an online service, the actual shareholder authentication server (100) can notify the participant terminal (P') of the fact that the access code is not approved if it is confirmed that the entered access code is an invalid access code through validation of the access code (S36).

[0160] Here, FIGS. 11 and 12 illustrate that an access code for registering questions and an access code for viewing the general meeting of shareholders are provided to the participant terminal (P'), respectively; however, the access code for registering questions and the access code for viewing the general meeting of shareholders may be a single access code, and accordingly, the participant may use the single access code as an access code for registering questions or as an access code for viewing the general meeting of shareholders.

[0162] Hereinafter, an online shareholder meeting participation program according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 13.

[0169] At this time, during the pre-registration application stage (S110), a pre-registration application form may be executed so that a prospective participant can agree to the terms and conditions for broadcasting the online general meeting of shareholders.

[0170] Accordingly, those wishing to participate may indicate their agreement to the terms and conditions for broadcasting the online general meeting of shareholders displayed on the screen.

[0171] Next, in the pre-registration application step (S110), a pre-registration application form may be executed so that a prospective participant can authenticate their identity.

[0172] Accordingly, prospective participants can verify their identity by selecting one of mobile phone authentication, joint certificate authentication, or account authentication.

[0173] Next, in the pre-registration application step (S110), a pre-registration application form may be executed so that a prospective participant can enter shareholder authentication information.

[0174] Accordingly, prospective participants can enter their name (shareholder name), real-name number, address's zip code, and the number of shares held on the screen.

[0176] Next, the online shareholder meeting participation program can execute an access code issuance step (S120) in which an access code issuance unit is activated so that a participant who has been approved as a shareholder eligible to participate in the online shareholder meeting by verifying the shareholder authentication information from the actual shareholder authentication server (100 in FIG. 1) in the online service, and who has transitioned from a prospective participant to a status eligible to participate in the online shareholder meeting, can receive an access code in advance to access the shareholder meeting broadcasting site and the question registration site.

[0177] In the access code issuance step (S120), the access code for viewing the general meeting of shareholders and the access code for registering questions for the participant are received from the actual shareholder authentication server (100 in FIG. 1) in the online service and can be issued to the participant.

[0178] Accordingly, participants can access the question registration site and register a question by entering the issued access code for question registration.

[0179] In addition, eligible participants can participate in the online general meeting of shareholders by accessing the live streaming site on the day the meeting is held, entering the issued access code for viewing the meeting, and watching the online broadcast of the meeting.

[0180] Meanwhile, in the access code issuance step (S120), an integrated access code for a participant can be received from the actual shareholder authentication server (100 in FIG. 1) in the online service and issued to the participant.

[0181] Accordingly, participants can access the question registration site and register a question by entering the issued integrated access code.

[0182] In addition, eligible participants may participate in the online general meeting of shareholders by accessing the live streaming site on the day the meeting is held and entering the aforementioned integrated access code issued to them to watch the online broadcast of the meeting.
