Bidirectional communication certification mechanism

Abstract

The present invention is to provide a bidirectional communication certification mechanism, which comprises the steps of receiving a call-in message transmitted from a phone of a user, capturing a phone number and a temporary password transmitted from the phone, saving the phone number and temporary password into a number database, receiving and reading a game account, a game password, the phone number and the temporary password included in a login request message transmitted from a terminal device of the user, comparing the same with user data stored in a user database, and allowing the terminal device to finish a login procedure when the phone number and temporary password are existed in the user database. Since the phone number and the temporary password are preset by the user, it will ensure the terminal device to safely login a game server and efficiently lower down the stolen risk of the game account.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a communication certification mechanism, more particularly to a bidirectional communication certification mechanism which enables a user (i.e. a client) to preset at least one phone number when the user registers to become a member of an online game and then, when the user wants to login the online game, enables the user to use the preset phone number to set a temporary password for finishing the login procedure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Presently, with the popularization of broadband networks, the type diversity of online games (such as strategy type, shooting type, action type, large-scale multiplayer online role-playing game, etc.) and the increase of online game functions (such as community, friend, etc.), a market research company “In-Stat” estimates that the total income of Asia-pacific online gaming market can be up to 21.1 billion dollars between 2008 and 2013. Thus, a so-called “home economy” based on onlin...

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a communication certification system and method that ensures the safety of a user's terminal device when logging into a game server or using other services provided by a game provider. The system includes an interactive voice module, a communication lock server, and a game server. The interactive voice module captures a phone number and a temporary password when a user calls in through a phone network, and sends the information to the communication lock server. The communication lock server saves the phone number and temporary password, and compares it with user data to verify if a match is found. If a match is found, the communication lock server sends a certification message to the user's terminal device to allow it to log into the game server. The system ensures that the user's phone number and temporary password are only used for the duration of the login procedure, reducing the risk of the user's game account being stolen. The method includes steps of capturing a phone number, receiving a temporary password, and saving the information in a database for comparison with user data. The game server stores user data including a game account, game password, and at least one phone number. The system and method provide a secure and efficient way to verify a user's identity and prevent unauthorized access to game servers or other services."

Problems solved by technology

Meanwhile, because the virtual money is belonged to the individual game account and has actual value effect, the acts of stealing online game accounts cause the trouble of the game providers and the users.

Moreover, after the user's game password is stolen, the user may think that all efforts in the online game are lost, so as to want to give up the online game or change to play another online game.

Therefore, the profit of the original online game provider may be lost.
