Digital credential field data mapping

Abstract

Techniques described herein relate to receiving multiple sources of verified data associated with a digital credential receiver, and mapping the digital credential receiver to one or more data field data objects based on analyses of the verified data. In some embodiments, a digital credential platform server may analyze the various data sources associated with the digital credential receiver, in order to determine and calculate correlation scores between the digital credential receiver and various field data objects. A combination of analyses and / or comparisons may be used between the credential receiver data and the corresponding retrieved from field data objects, such as the digital credential objects earned by the credential receiver, the credential receiver's verified evaluation records, and / or the career phase of the digital credential receiver.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a non-provisional of and claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 559,433, entitled “DIGITAL CREDENTIAL PLATFORM,” filed Sep. 15, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.BACKGROUND[0002]Changes in computing technologies have provided individuals with additional options for obtaining and validating technical skills and proficiencies. Rather than attending traditional educational institutions and professional training courses, many individuals may now obtain their technical skills and proficiencies from alternative sources, such as structured or unstructured and asynchronous eLearning programs using distance learning technology, self-study research without any direct supervision, or various alternative technical learning, training, and testing entities. Although such advances in technologies and increasing globalization trends provide many more options...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system for verifying digital credentials and mapping them to specific fields based on the data they contain. The system analyzes the data from the digital credential receivers and compares it to data from different fields to determine the closest match. The system can also use expiration dates and half-lives to weight the correlation calculations. The patent also describes a secure digital certification platform to provide verification and security for digital credential receivers. The technical effects of the patent include improved accuracy and reliability in verifying digital credentials and aligning them with relevant fields, as well as a secure platform for managing and utilizing digital credential data.

Problems solved by technology

Although such advances in technologies and increasing globalization trends provide many more options for individuals to obtain technical skills and proficiencies, they also present challenges in publishing, verifying and tracking the sets of technical skills and proficiencies that these individuals have obtained.
