Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a registration system.
Background Art
[0002] Real estate is managed by real estate registration in terms of information on its owner and object, and since the register is publicly disclosed, the object and the rights relationship can be clearly grasped. For example, by viewing the register, information such as the location and area of land and buildings can be grasped even by a third party. Also, it is possible to grasp who the owner of the real estate is and how the ownership has been transferred. Also, even for movable property, for general vehicles, a motor vehicle registration number is registered at the land transportation bureau, and the specifications and rights relationship of the registered vehicle can be grasped. For construction machinery as well, for vehicle-type machinery with a number plate, similar to general vehicles, by undergoing registration at the land transportation bureau, an inspection certificate with detailed machinery information is issued, and by checking the registration at the land transportation bureau, the rights relationship of the owner etc. can be grasped.
[0003] On the other hand, for construction machinery that has an individual identification number but for which a vehicle inspection certificate is not issued by a public agency, a written transfer certificate issued by the Japan Construction Machinery Industry Association is issued, and the transfer of the owner is carried out by this transfer certificate system. Specifically, when a construction machinery manufacturer manufactures and sells a construction machinery to a purchaser, information such as the manufacturer's name, address, model number of the target construction machinery, etc., and information such as the purchaser's name, address, etc. are described, and it is proven that the target construction machinery has been transferred from the manufacturer to the purchaser, that is, the ownership of the construction machinery has been transferred from the manufacturer to the purchaser. When the owner is changed, each time, information on the new owner (i.e., the transferor) is added to the transfer certificate (see Figure 3). Since this transfer certificate cannot be reissued, by checking the transfer certificate, in addition to information such as the model number of the construction machinery, it is possible to grasp who the current owner is and how the transfer etc. has occurred to reach the current state.
[0004] Incidentally, because construction machinery has a high monetary value, it is recognized as having value as collateral for movable property, and is used as security in transfers between financial institutions, finance companies, and lease agreements. For this reason, a certificate of transfer proving who owns the construction machinery and how the transfer is made is extremely important.
[0005] Despite the extreme importance of transfer certificates for construction machinery, there are no regulations regarding their storage. As a result, these certificates may be kept by the owner, the manufacturer, or the leasing company. Currently, there is no way to verify the existence of an official transfer certificate, and fraud involving forged transfer certificates is rampant.
[0006] Patent Document 1 discloses a system and method for providing information on construction machinery, which promotes the emergency deployment of heavy machinery during disasters and the utilization of idle heavy machinery during normal times. Patent Document 1 discloses a system configuration that establishes a database of heavy machinery providers and users and can provide search results for information on heavy machinery. However, the technology in Patent Document 1 only registers information on heavy machinery owned by heavy machinery manufacturers and heavy machinery leasing companies, and does not describe the management of the transfer certificates for the registered heavy machinery, i.e., heavy machinery owned by heavy machinery manufacturers and heavy machinery leasing companies.
[0007] On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a service for managing various types of information, including the registration and acceptance of changes to various types of information (management service), a service for outputting various documents, ledgers, histories, etc. (output service), and a service that enables users to search and view various types of information (viewing service) (Paragraph 0020 of the specification of Patent Document 2, Figure 1). Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses the registration and modification of various types of information, the registration of maintenance and inspection history (medical record information) of construction machinery, and the issuance of a "digital transfer certificate" which is a certificate related to the transfer of construction machinery (paragraph 0023 of the specification of Patent Document 2). Furthermore, a "digital transfer certificate" is issued by the service provider, and thereafter, the transferor and transferee of the construction machinery continuously fill it out (data entry) in the same manner as endorsing a promissory note, making it possible to accurately identify the owner of the construction machinery. It is also stated that this service makes it possible to prevent or deter the fraudulent buying and selling of construction machinery (paragraph 0023 of the specification of Patent Document 2). [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2005-338989 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-30548 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0009] While the technology described in Patent Document 2 may potentially prevent or deter the illegal buying and selling of construction machinery, it cannot be adopted unless a new digital registration system is established. In other words, it is not possible to prevent the illegal buying and selling of construction machinery while maintaining the current registration management system using paper transfer certificates.
[0010] The problem of fraud through forgery is not limited to transfer certificates for construction machinery; it also affects warranties, appraisal certificates, and other documents issued in writing. However, currently, there is no management system in place to prevent such fraud, similar to the system used for transfer certificates for construction machinery, and such a system is needed.
[0011] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a registration system that can manage the registration of rights and prevent the forgery of rights while maintaining the existing system that uses written certificates. [Means for solving the problem]
[0012] The registration system of the first invention is a registration system for managing the rights relationship of articles whose rights are proven by written documents, and comprises a storage unit that stores information relating to the article and an original certificate image which is an image of the original document that proves the rights to the article in association with each other, and a verification unit that compares a verification image obtained by capturing a document as an image with the original certificate image stored in the storage unit, wherein the verification unit has an image verification function that compares and verifies whether the verification image contains a certification information image included in the original certificate image and whether the verification image contains an image that matches the certification information image in the original certificate image, and a determination function that determines whether the document being verified is the original document that proves the rights to the article based on the results of the comparison and verification by the image verification function. The registration system of the second invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the certification information image is the characters signed by the owner and / or assignee of the rights to the article, and / or the impression of the seal affixed by the owner and / or assignee of the rights to the article. The registration system of the third invention is characterized in that, in the first or second invention, the article is a construction machine and the document is a certificate of transfer of the construction machine. The registration system of the fourth invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, it has a viewing unit for viewing information about the article stored in the storage unit, and the viewing unit comprises an input function for inputting information to be viewed, an information request function for requesting information from the storage unit regarding the information input by the input function, and a screen display function having a function for displaying an input screen for inputting information to be viewed from the input function and / or a function for displaying information supplied based on a request from the information request function. The registration system of the fifth invention is characterized in that, in the fourth invention, the storage unit has a first storage unit which stores basic information relating the article and the original certificate image, and a second storage unit which is connected to the first storage unit and stores all and / or part of the basic information of the first storage unit, and has a function to provide information stored in the second storage unit in response to a request from the information request function of the viewing unit. The registration system of the sixth invention is characterized in that, in the fifth invention, the first storage unit is a node of a private blockchain, and the basic information is registered on the blockchain. The registration system of the seventh invention is characterized in that, in the fourth invention, the viewing unit has a function to hide a portion of the original certificate image when the information to be viewed is the original certificate image. The registration system of the eighth invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the information relating to the article includes information relating to the location of the article. The registration system of the ninth invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, the image verification function of the verification unit compares and verifies the certificate information image of the original certificate image and the verification certificate image using AI (artificial intelligence). The registration system of the 10th invention, in the first invention, includes an information modification unit having the function of creating information about a new article and storing it in the storage unit, and the function of creating a digital transfer certificate and / or digital deactivation certificate that includes information about the rights to the new article and the owner of those rights, associated with the information about the new article, wherein the digital transfer certificate stores the history of the owner of the rights to the new article. The registration system of the 11th invention is characterized in that, in the first invention, it includes an information modification unit having a function to store information in the storage unit that cancels the registration of a registered article, and a function to create a digital cancellation certificate that certifies the cancellation of the registration of the article whose registration has been canceled, and which is associated with information about the new article. [Effects of the Invention]
[0013] According to the first invention, the verification function compares a verification image, which is an image of a document, with an original certificate image stored in the memory unit, and determines whether the document is the original by comparing and verifying the similarity between the two, thereby preventing the forgery of the document. Furthermore, since forgery is prevented while utilizing existing methods using documents, the ownership of rights can be clearly identified even for items currently in circulation, and forgery can be prevented. According to the second invention, the effect of preventing forgery of documents can be enhanced. According to the third invention, forgery of the transfer certificate of construction machinery can be prevented, and the ownership of construction machinery can be appropriately managed. According to the fourth invention, information such as the ownership of articles registered in the system can be easily confirmed. According to the fifth invention, the information viewed by the viewing unit is the information stored in the second storage unit, and it is not directly connected to the first storage unit from the viewing unit, so leakage and falsification of basic information can be prevented.

[Figure 8] This is an example of a flowchart for the verification process. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0015] The registration system of this embodiment is a system for registering and managing rights such as ownership of construction machinery based on registration documents and certificates issued on paper, and is capable of preventing forgery of ownership rights.
[0016] While the registration system of this embodiment is suitable for managing the registration of ownership of construction machinery and preventing forgery, it can also be used to prevent forgery of rights to any movable property for which registration documents, certificates, appraisals, etc., containing information that identifies the individual item, such as a serial number, are issued on paper. For example, in addition to construction machinery, it can be used to register and manage assets subject to fixed asset tax, such as real estate like land and buildings, depreciable business assets like machinery and vehicles, and rights to automobiles, luxury watches, jewelry, etc. The following explanation will use the case of registering and managing ownership of construction machinery as a representative example.
[0017] <Regarding the Transfer Certificate> Before describing the details of the registration system 1 of this embodiment, we will briefly explain the certificate of transfer of construction machinery used for verification by the registration system 1 of this embodiment.
[0018] A transfer certificate is a non-reissueable document issued by the Japan Construction Machinery Manufacturers Association, featuring a hologram and other anti-counterfeiting measures. It contains information identifying the construction machinery, such as its model number, as well as the name and address of the construction machinery manufacturer, and bears the manufacturer's seal. The transfer certificate also includes the name and address of the purchaser (transferor) who bought the construction machinery from the manufacturer, and below the manufacturer's signature, the transferor's official seal (or registered seal (representative seal) for corporations) is listed (see Figure 3). In other words, the transferor listed at the bottom of the transfer certificate indicates the current owner. If the transferor does not have an official seal, they also sign their name and address. When construction machinery is transferred, the new transferor, i.e., the new owner, is added to the bottom of the transfer certificate, allowing the current owner to be identified and past owners and the transfer of ownership to be tracked.
[0019] In the registration system 1 of this embodiment, ownership of construction machinery is registered and managed, and forgery of ownership can be prevented by using the aforementioned written transfer certificate. In other words, the registration system 1 of this embodiment effectively prevents forgery of ownership by forging transfer certificates while utilizing the current written management system for the transfer of ownership and proof of the current owner, and moreover, it makes effective use of the registration information of construction machinery.
[0020] In the following explanation, "transfer certificate image data" refers to the image data of the transfer certificate mentioned above. For example, "transfer certificate image data" includes image data created by scanning the transfer certificate with a scanner, or data saved as image data by taking a picture of the transfer certificate with a digital camera (see Figure 3).
[0021] Furthermore, if the assets subject to fixed asset tax are managed by the registration system 1 of this embodiment, the "Fixed Asset Valuation Certificate" will be equivalent to the "Transfer Certificate" for the construction machinery described above. Also, if the automobiles are managed by the registration system 1 of this embodiment, the "Vehicle Registration Certificate" will be equivalent to the "Transfer Certificate" for the construction machinery described above. Moreover, if the valuables such as luxury watches and jewelry are managed by the registration system 1 of this embodiment, the "Appraisal Certificate," "Identification Certificate," or "Warranty Certificate" will be equivalent to the "Transfer Certificate" for the construction machinery described above.
[0022] If an asset subject to fixed asset tax is managed by the registration system 1 of this embodiment, various information concerning the asset subject to fixed asset tax (for example, information on current and past owners, information identifying the asset, asset value, etc.) will correspond to the "machinery information" included in the basic information described later. Similarly, if an automobile is managed by the registration system 1 of this embodiment, various information listed on the "vehicle registration certificate" and other information related to the automobile (e.g., assessed value information, transfer history, repair history, accident history, etc.) will correspond to the "machinery information" included in the basic information described later. Furthermore, if valuables such as luxury watches and jewelry are managed by the registration system 1 of this embodiment, various information listed on the "certificate of appraisal," "certificate of identification," and "warranty" and other information related to the valuables (e.g., assessed value information, transfer history, repair history, theft history, etc.) will correspond to the "machinery information" included in the basic information described later.
[0023] Furthermore, if the image data of the above documents, that is, the image data of the original certificate, is made into an "NFT (Non-Fungible Token)," the reliability of the items managed by the registration system 1 of this embodiment can be increased.
[0024] <Registration System 1 of this Embodiment> First, the general configuration of the registration system 1 of this embodiment will be described. As shown in Figure 1, the registration system 1 of this embodiment comprises an information processing device 10 and a plurality of terminal devices 20 capable of data communication with the information processing device 10.
[0025] The information processing device 10 is a computer such as a server, and has the functions described later. For example, a computer such as a server belonging to a cloud computing system or other computing system can be cited as the information processing device 10.
[0026] Terminal device 20 is capable of data communication with information processing device 10 via a network NW or the like. This terminal device 20 has functions such as requesting information from the information processing device 10 or displaying information supplied by the information processing device 10. Examples of terminal devices 20 include general personal computers, tablet terminals, smartphones, and other mobile devices.
[0027] <About each function of the information processing device 10> As shown in Figure 2, the information processing device 10 includes a communication unit 11 that performs data communication with terminal equipment 20 via a network NW, a storage unit 12 that stores various data, and a viewing unit 13 that views the information stored in the storage unit 12. The information processing device 10 also includes a verification unit 15 that verifies documents such as transfer certificates. Furthermore, the information processing device 10 includes a control unit 30 that controls the operation of each part of the information processing device 10 so that the registration system 1 of this embodiment performs the functions described later.
[0028] <Communications Department 11> The information processing device 10 has a communication unit 11 that has the function of sending and receiving data between the information processing device 10 and the terminal device 20, that is, the function of data communication between the information processing device 10 and the terminal device 20. The communication unit 11 is not particularly limited as long as it has the function of data communication between the information processing device 10 and the terminal device 20. For example, the communication unit 11 may include a communication module that supports wired or wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standards for connecting to a network NW, or a module that supports mobile communication standards such as LTE (Long Term Evolution), 4G (4th Generation), or 5G (5th Generation). The communication unit 11 may also have a communication module that supports short-range communication standards or specifications such as Bluetooth (registered trademark), AirDrop (registered trademark), IrDA, ZigBee (registered trademark), Felica (registered trademark), or RFID. Of course, the communication unit 11 may include multiple communication modules that support wired or wireless LAN standards, modules that support mobile communication standards, and communication modules that support short-range communication standards or specifications.
[0029] <Control Unit 30> As described above, the control unit 30 has the function of controlling the operation of each part of the information processing device 10 (communication unit 11, storage unit 12, browsing unit 13, and verification unit 15). The control unit 30 also has the function of displaying an operation screen (function selection screen) for operating the registration system 1 of this embodiment. Furthermore, when a user of the registration system 1 of this embodiment selects a function displayed on the function selection screen, the control unit 30 has the function of displaying a screen for operating the selected function (function operation screen).
[0030] For example, when the registration system 1 of this embodiment is activated, the control unit 30 displays a function selection screen on a display connected to the information processing device 10, or sends a signal to the terminal device 20 to display the function selection screen. This function selection screen displays buttons indicating the functions of each of the above-mentioned parts (for example, browsing, verification, etc.) and input fields for entering the desired function.
[0031] In the following explanation, the terms "display on a display, etc." and "display on the screen of terminal device 20" may be used interchangeably to refer to screens such as the function selection screen.
[0032] When a user selects a button from the function selection screen displayed on the display, etc., by using an input device (such as a keyboard or mouse) connected to the information processing device 10 or by touching the screen, or when a user enters predetermined information into an input field on the function selection screen displayed on the display, etc., using an input device connected to the information processing device 10, the control unit 30 displays a function operation screen on the display, etc., for operating the functions corresponding to each button or the entered information. This function operation screen displays buttons indicating the processes to be performed by the selected function, as well as input fields for entering the processes to be performed.
[0033] In the following, the act of "selecting a button displayed on a function selection screen, etc., by using an input device (such as a keyboard or mouse) or touching the screen" may simply be referred to as "selecting a button" or "selecting." Similarly, the act of "entering predetermined information into an input field, etc., on a function selection screen displayed on a screen, etc., using an input device connected to the information processing device 10" may simply be referred to as "entering information." Furthermore, the acts of "selecting a button" and "entering information" may be combined and referred to simply as "entering."
[0034] Furthermore, the control unit 30 has a function that causes the user to select a process from the function selection screen displayed on the display or the like, and then causes the selected process to be executed by the respective parts. For example, when the function selection screen is displayed on the display or the like and the user selects a button or enters information on the function selection screen, the control unit 30 causes the respective parts to execute a process based on the selected button or the entered information.
[0035] Furthermore, the control unit 30 may have a function to determine whether or not to permit the use of the registration system 1 of this embodiment. For example, when the registration system 1 of this embodiment is started up, the control unit 30 may have a function to display a screen on a display connected to the information processing device 10 requesting input of an ID, password, etc., for using the registration system 1 of this embodiment, before displaying the function selection screen on the display, etc. Also, when the registration system 1 of this embodiment is running and a signal requesting connection is supplied from the terminal device 20 to the information processing device 10, the control unit 30 may have a function to send a signal to the terminal device 20 to display a screen (user authentication screen) requesting input of user identification information such as an ID, password, etc., for using the registration system 1 of this embodiment (hereinafter referred to as user identification information). In this case, the control unit 30 is provided with a function to display a function selection screen on a display, etc., or to send information to display a function selection screen on the screen of the terminal device 20 via the transmission unit 11 if the user identification information input from the input device connected to the information processing device 10 or the terminal device 20 matches the information stored in the storage unit 12.
[0036] <Storage section 12> The storage unit 12 has the function of storing information necessary for the registration system 1 of this embodiment to function. The information stored in this storage unit 12 includes the user identification information mentioned above, and basic information stored in association with machine information data and transfer certificate image data, which is image data of the transfer certificate of construction machinery (see Figure 3) (see Figure 4). The machine information data includes various information about construction machinery, such as machine information (for example, information listed on the vehicle registration certificate of construction machinery, the model number of construction machinery, etc.). This storage unit 12 comprises a first storage unit 12a in which the basic information is stored, and a second storage unit 12b connected to the first storage unit 12a and storing all or part of the basic information stored in the first storage unit 12a. This storage unit 12 has the function of changing information such as user identification information and basic information stored in the first storage unit 12a by command from the control unit 30. In addition, this storage unit 12 has the function of supplying information stored in the second storage unit 12b to the viewing unit 13, verification unit 15, etc. by command from the control unit 30. Details of the memory unit 12 will be described later.
[0037] <Viewing Section 13> The browsing unit 13 has the function of browsing information stored in the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12. This browsing unit 13 has an input function 13a, an information request function 13b, and a screen display function 13c. The screen display function 13c has the function of displaying an input screen for inputting information to be viewed from the input function 13a (input screen display function), and the function of displaying information supplied based on a request from the information request function 13b (information display function). When the browsing function is selected on the function selection screen described above, the browsing unit 13 executes the input screen display function of the screen display function 13c, the input function 13a, the information request function 13b, and the information display function of the screen display function 13c in this order, according to a command from the control unit 30. The functions of the browsing unit 13 will be described below.
[0038] The input screen display function of the screen display function 13c has the function of displaying an input screen on a display or the like for inputting information to be viewed from the input function 13a, based on a command from the control unit 30. For example, when the viewing function is selected on the function selection screen, the control unit 30 sends a command (input screen display command) to the screen display function 13c instructing it to display the input screen on a display or the like. When the screen display function 13c receives the input screen display command, it displays the input screen on a display or the like. The input screen is a screen for the user of the registration system 1 of this embodiment to input the information they wish to view. This input screen may be stored in the screen display function 13c, or it may be stored in the storage unit 12, and the control unit 30 may read it from the storage unit 12 and send it together with the input screen display command, or include it in the input screen display command when sending the input screen display command.
[0039] The input function 13a is a function 13a that allows the user of the registration system 1 of this embodiment to input information that they wish to view. This input function 13a has the function of selecting or inputting information that the user wishes to view while the input screen is displayed on a display or the like. For example, if the input screen is provided with buttons to select information, the input function 13a has the function of inputting the information that the user wishes to view by selecting a button. Also, if the input screen displays boxes for the user to input information that they wish to view, such as model number, construction machine name, or owner name, the input function 13a has the function of inputting the information that the user wishes to view by entering the information into those boxes.
[0040] The information request function 13b has the function of requesting information stored in the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12 based on the information input from the input function 13a. For example, when a button related to specific information (such as the name of the construction machine or the manufacturer's name) is selected in the input function 13a, the information request function 13b has the function of supplying a browsing request signal to the control unit 30 requesting the information associated with the information of that button. Also, when the model number of the construction machine is input from the input function 13a, the information request function 13b has the function of supplying a browsing request signal to the control unit 30 requesting the information associated with that model number. Furthermore, if there is an input requesting only specific information from the information associated with the model number of the construction machine, the information request function 13b has the function of supplying a browsing request signal to the control unit 30 requesting only the specific information. When the browsing request signal is supplied to the control unit 30 from the information request function 13b, the control unit 30 has the function of reading the information corresponding to the information contained in the browsing request signal (browsing information) from the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12 and transmitting it to the screen display function 13c.
[0041] The information request function 13b may also have the function of supplying the browsing request signal directly to the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12, instead of supplying it to the control unit 30. In this case, the information corresponding to the information contained in the browsing request signal (browsing information) may be transmitted directly from the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12 to the screen display function 13c without going through the control unit 30.
[0042] The aforementioned screen display function 13c has the function of displaying browsing information transmitted from the control unit 30 or the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12 as browsing results on a display or the like. For example, when a construction machine name is selected from the input function 13a, the browsing information corresponding to that construction machine name is displayed on the display or the like as browsing results. If construction machines with the same name but different model numbers are stored, all construction machines with different model numbers can be displayed as a list on the display or the like (see Figure 5(B)). In addition, when a specific model number is entered from the input function 13a, the information for each construction machine with that model number can be displayed on the display or the like (see Figure 4).
[0043] Furthermore, screens such as lists displayed on a screen as browsing results may also function as input screens. For example, as shown in Figure 5(B), if multiple construction machines with the same construction machine name but different model numbers are displayed on a screen as a browsing result list, the input function 13a can be used to select a model number from the list. Then, the information request function 13b generates a browsing request signal requesting information for the construction machine of that model number, and the browsing information for the construction machine of that model number is sent to the screen display function 13c, so that the information for each part of the construction machine of that model number can be displayed on the screen. For example, in Figure 5(B), if a grayed-out column is selected, the basic information (see Figure 4) of the corresponding construction machine of that model number may be displayed as browsing information.
[0044] Since each function of the viewing unit 13 has the functions described above, by selecting a viewing function on the function selection screen and performing the prescribed operations and inputs, the user can view the desired information included in the basic information.
[0045] Furthermore, the screen display function 13c of the viewing unit 13 may have a function to hide a portion of the transfer certificate image data if the viewing information transmitted from the control unit 30 or the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12, that is, the information requested for viewing by the input function 13a, is included in the basic information. For example, if the transfer certificate image data is viewed and signatures, seal impressions, etc., are displayed on the display, there is a possibility that forged documents may be created based on copies of the displayed images or images taken of the screen. Therefore, when a request is made to view the transfer certificate image data, it is desirable that the parts of the transfer certificate image that are important for verification by the verification unit 15, such as signatures, seal impressions, and holograms, are not displayed (see Figure 6). Also, for greater security, the transfer certificate image data may be made inaccessible.
[0046] <Verification Section 15> As shown in Figure 2, the information processing device 10 includes an image acquisition unit 14, which is a device that has the function of forming image data from a document (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a verification document), such as a scanner or a digital camera. The verification unit 15 has the function of determining whether or not the verification document is the original document of the transfer certificate, that is, whether or not the verification document is authentic. This verification unit 15 includes a verification image formation function 15a, an image verification function 15b, and a determination function 15c. When the verification function is selected on the function selection screen mentioned above, the verification unit 15 executes the verification image formation function 15a, the image verification function 15b, and the determination function 15c in that order, according to a command from the control unit 30. The function of the determination function 15c will be explained below. Note that the "transfer certificate image" corresponds to the "original certificate image" as referred to in the claims.
[0047] The verification image formation function 15a has the function of forming verification image data by operating the image acquisition unit 14 in response to a command from the control unit 30. For example, when the verification function is selected on the function selection screen, the control unit 30 sends a command (image acquisition command) to the verification image formation function 15a instructing it to operate the image acquisition unit 14 and form verification image data. Upon receiving the image acquisition command, the verification image formation function 15a displays a screen for acquiring verification images (image acquisition screen) on the display or the like. The image acquisition screen includes a command to instruct the user to place the verification document in a predetermined position on the image acquisition unit 14 (i.e., a position where an image of the document can be acquired), a button to perform image acquisition, and a box to input information that identifies the verification document (such as the number of the transfer certificate or the model number (serial number) of the construction machine). After the user has placed the verification document in the predetermined position on the image acquisition unit 14 and selected the button to perform image acquisition, the image acquisition unit 14 forms verification image data of the verification document. The formed verification image data is supplied from the image acquisition unit 14 to the verification image forming function 15a (or control unit 30), and then supplied from the verification image forming function 15a (or control unit 30) to the image verification function 15b along with information identifying the verification document. Since the verification document usually contains information identifying the verification document, it is also possible to omit the input box for information identifying the verification document and have the verification image forming function 15a and the image verification function 15b acquire the information identifying the verification document.
[0048] The image verification function 15b has the function of comparing the transfer certificate image data included in the basic information with the verification image data to verify whether the two match. For example, when the verification image data is supplied to the image verification function 15b from the verification image forming function 15a (or control unit 30), the image verification function 15b obtains basic information containing information identifying the verification document from the second storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12, based on information identifying the verification document transmitted together with the verification image data (or information identifying the verification document obtained from the verification image data). Once the basic information is obtained, the transfer certificate image data is selected from the basic information and compared with the verification image data. In other words, the image of the verification image data and the image of the transfer certificate image data are compared using a known method such as pattern matching, and the matching state of the two images is verified to create the verification result. The verification result calculated by the image verification function 15b is not particularly limited. For example, the image verification function 15b can create the verification result as a score or matching percentage for the degree of matching between the transfer certificate image data and the verification image data. The calculated verification results, along with the verification image data and information identifying the verification documents, are supplied from the image verification function 15b to the judgment function 15c. Furthermore, it is desirable that the image verification function 15b has the function of displaying an error message or a message instructing the user to register new basic information if there is no basic information corresponding to the information identifying the document to be verified, or if the basic information corresponding to the information identifying the document to be verified does not include the transfer certificate image data.
[0049] The judgment function 15c is a function that determines, based on the results of the comparative verification performed by the image verification function 15b, whether the document that served as the source for the verification image data is the original document that served as the source for the transfer certificate image data. For example, when the verification result is transmitted from the image verification function 15b, the judgment function 15c determines from the verification result whether it is a legitimate original document based on a predetermined threshold, and displays the result on a display or the like. The method by which the judgment function 15c determines whether it is a legitimate transfer certificate is not particularly limited. For example, if the image verification function 15b outputs the verification result as a score, the judgment function 15c can determine whether it is a legitimate transfer certificate based on whether the score is above a threshold. In other words, if the score is above a threshold, the judgment function 15c can determine whether the verification document is a legitimate transfer certificate, and if the score is below a threshold, the judgment function 15c can determine whether it is a legitimate transfer certificate based on whether the percentage is above a threshold. Furthermore, even if the verification document is a legitimate transfer certificate, verification may become difficult if it becomes soiled or damaged due to long-term use. Therefore, the judgment function 15c may not only determine whether it is a legitimate transfer certificate or a forged transfer certificate, but may also determine whether it is highly likely to be a legitimate transfer certificate or unlikely to be a legitimate transfer certificate.
[0050] Since the verification unit 15 has the functions described above, it can accurately determine the authenticity of the verification documents.
[0051] For example, in the case of a transfer certificate for construction machinery, the name and address of the buyer (transferor) who purchased the construction machinery from the construction machinery manufacturer are signed (or stamped), and below the signature of the construction machinery manufacturer, the transferor's official seal (or registered seal (representative seal) in the case of a corporation) or other seal proving the transferor is stamped (see Figure 3). It is difficult to perfectly match the handwriting of the signature and the impression of the stamp on the original transfer certificate with a forged document. Furthermore, as new transferor signatures and seals are added each time construction machinery is transferred, the handwriting of the signatures and the impressions of the stamps increase, making it even more difficult to forge the original. Therefore, by comparing the image data of the transfer certificate (verification image data) acquired by the image acquisition unit 14 using the verification image formation function 15a with the image data of the original transfer certificate included in the basic information (transfer certificate image data) using the image verification function 15b to verify whether or not a matching image is included, and by determining the degree of matching using the judgment function 15c, the authenticity of the written transfer certificate can be determined with high accuracy.
[0052] The image verification function 15b may determine whether the entire transfer certificate image and the verification image match, or it may determine whether the image of the important and characteristic part of the transfer certificate image (certification information image) matches the image of the transfer certificate image in the verification image. For example, in the case of a transfer certificate for construction machinery as shown in Figure 3, if the image of the part containing the transfer certificate number, model, serial number, construction machinery manufacturer, and the signature or seal of the transferor is used as the certification information image, the verification time can be shortened compared to comparing the entire image, and the verification accuracy can be improved by limiting the image area to be compared. The certification information image may be predetermined, or the verification image formation function 15a may be used to allow the user to determine the certification information image. If the certification information image is predetermined, the certification information image can be stored in the transfer certificate image data of the basic information along with the overall image data. Furthermore, if the user determines the certification information image using the verification image formation function 15a, the image verification function 15b is provided with a function to search for the part of the transfer certificate image that corresponds to the certification information image. For example, if the document to be certified is a certificate of transfer of construction machinery, the certification information image could include the certificate of transfer number, model number, serial number, signatures and seals of the manufacturer and transferor, and the hologram on the certificate of transfer.
[0053] Furthermore, the image verification function 15b may create a comparison verification result for each of the above-mentioned certification information images, by providing multiple certification information images. For example, the transfer certificate number, model number, serial number, signature area, seal area, and hologram may each be set as separate certification information images, and verification may be performed on each certification information image, with verification results created for each. Only if all verification results are equal to or above a predetermined degree of agreement may the verified document be determined to be the original transfer certificate. In addition, if multiple certification information images are provided, it is desirable to also verify the relative positions of each certification information image.
[0054] Furthermore, while general methods such as pattern matching and template matching can be used to compare and verify the images of the verification data and the transfer certificate data as described above, it is also possible to compare and verify both images using AI (artificial intelligence). In particular, when signatures or seal impressions are used as proof information images, using AI for comparison and verification allows for highly accurate verification of the degree of similarity between the two images. For example, when comparing the original document with the verification document, using AI for comparison and verification can recognize slight shifts in the position of the seal impression or signature, as well as differences in smudging and shading of the seal impression or signature, thus increasing the accuracy of determining whether a document is forged. In addition, by training the AI with the handwriting of the signatory, handwriting analysis can be performed, making it possible to verify whether the signatory on the original document is the real person. For example, if someone forcibly signs the original document to create a transfer certificate, the verification document will be the original document itself. However, by performing handwriting analysis, it becomes possible to detect that the transfer is forged even if the verification document itself is the original document. This makes it possible to determine whether the transfer agreement is legitimate even if the original document is stolen.
[0055] <Regarding the operation of the registration system 1 of this embodiment> Since the registration system 1 of this embodiment has the configuration described above, it performs the following functions.
[0056] First, when the registration system 1 of this embodiment (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as registration system 1) is running and a terminal device 20 connects to the registration system 1, the control unit 30 displays a user authentication screen. After entering user identification information on this user authentication screen, the registration system 1 becomes available, and the control unit 30 displays a function selection screen. After selecting the desired function from the function selection screen, the control unit 30 or other units display the function operation screen for that function. Then, each function becomes available.
[0057] For example, when the browsing function is selected, the browsing function's screen display function 13c displays an input screen on a display or the like, allowing the user to select or input information about the construction machinery they wish to view from the input screen. Once predetermined information is entered, the information request function 13b requests the information about the construction machinery to be viewed from the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12. In response to this request, the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12 transmits the information about the construction machinery to be viewed to the screen display function 13c. The screen display function 13c then displays a list of the construction machinery information to be viewed on a display or the like, allowing the user to view the desired information. Furthermore, if the user selects information displayed on the screen, the selected information will be displayed on the screen through a process similar to the one described above, allowing the user to view details of the selected information.
[0058] Furthermore, when the verification function is selected, the process of forming image data of verification documents such as transfer certificates begins. In other words, the verification image formation function 15a forms verification image data by scanning or photographing documents such as transfer certificates using the image acquisition unit 14. The verification image formation function 15a also receives information that identifies the verification documents. Once the verification image data is formed, the verification image data and the information identifying the verification documents are transmitted to the image verification function 15b, and the image verification function 15b acquires the corresponding basic information from the second storage unit 12b of the storage unit 12 based on the information identifying the verification documents. After acquiring the basic information, the image verification function 15b compares and verifies the transfer certificate image data and the verification documents included in the basic information and creates a verification result. Once the verification result is created, the verification result is transmitted from the image verification function 15b to the judgment function 15c, and the judgment function 15c determines whether the verification documents are legitimate original documents based on the verification result and displays the judgment result on a display or the like. Therefore, by utilizing the verification function, users can determine whether a document such as a transfer certificate is an original document or a forgery. In the registration system 1 of this embodiment, the verification unit 15 compares the data formed from the verification document with the data of the original transfer certificate stored in the storage unit 12 to determine authenticity, thus preventing forgery while utilizing existing methods using documents. Consequently, even for construction machinery currently in circulation, the ownership can be clearly identified, and forgery of ownership can be prevented.
[0059] <Regarding memory unit 12> As described above, the memory unit 12 includes a first memory unit 12a and a second memory unit 12a connected to the first memory unit 12a.
[0060] The first storage unit 12a stores basic information, which is data that links various pieces of information about construction machinery together. The basic information is information that links machine information data (see Figure 4), which includes various pieces of information about construction machinery, and transfer certificate image data, which is image data of the transfer certificate for construction machinery (see Figure 5(A)). This basic information is provided for each machine, and the basic information for multiple machines is stored in the first storage unit 12a as a basic information list.
[0061] The second storage unit 12b stores information provided by the first storage unit 12a. Although the second storage unit 12b receives information from the first storage unit 12a, it is not possible to request information from the first storage unit 12a or to request changes or additions to the stored information. In other words, the second storage unit 12b has the function of receiving information unilaterally from the first storage unit 12a, changing the information if the supplied information is already stored, and adding the supplied information if it is newly supplied. Furthermore, while the second storage unit 12b can provide the stored information upon request from other units, it is not possible or is restricted from changing the stored information through operations from other units.
[0062] Thus, the storage unit 12 provides information stored in the second storage unit 12b, which provides information in response to requests from each unit, when it is being viewed or verified. However, the information cannot be changed or is restricted, and information is supplied unilaterally from the first storage unit 12a to the second storage unit 12b in principle. Because of this configuration, the registration system 1 of this embodiment is a system configuration that makes it difficult for information such as basic information stored in the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12 to be tampered with, thereby ensuring the security of basic information and increasing reliability.
[0063] In particular, if the first memory unit 12a of the memory unit 12 is set up as a node of a private blockchain, the basic information will be distributed and shared by all nodes, making it even more difficult to tamper with the basic information and further enhancing the security and reliability of the basic information.
[0064] Furthermore, while the storage unit 12 can enhance the security and reliability of basic information if it has the first storage unit 12a and the second storage unit 12b as described above, the storage unit 12 does not necessarily have to have the second storage unit 12b. Even in this case, security and reliability can be maintained if the first storage unit 12a provides information in response to requests from each unit, but changes or additions to basic information, etc., cannot be made or are restricted in response to requests from each unit. In this case as well, security and reliability can be enhanced if the first storage unit 12a is made a node of a private blockchain.
[0065] The mechanical information included in the basic information is not particularly limited, and various types of information can be included as mechanical information. Examples of mechanical information include information listed on the construction machinery's registration certificate, the construction machinery's model number, the manufacturer's name and address, and the names and addresses of current and past owners. In addition, the repair history of the construction machinery, the numbers of various parts that make up the construction machinery, and their replacement history may also be included in the mechanical information. This mechanical information data can be, for example, as shown in Figure 4, a list in which the model number of each construction machine is associated with the aforementioned mechanical information.
[0066] Furthermore, if the image data of past transfer certificates, not just the latest transfer certificate image data, is kept as a history, the verification of whether the verification document is an original document can be performed with greater accuracy. In other words, by having the verification unit 15 compare all past transfer certificate images with the current verification image, the authenticity of the verified document can be verified with greater accuracy.
[0067] Furthermore, the verification image acquired by the image acquisition unit 14 may also be included in the basic information of the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12, in association with the transfer certificate image. For example, the verification unit 15 or control unit 30 may be provided with a function to create verification implementation data that associates the verification image, the information of the transfer certificate image compared and verified with the verification image (e.g., the model number of the construction machinery), the date and time the verification was performed, and the information of the user who performed the verification, and a function to transmit the verification implementation data to the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12 after the verification is completed. In addition, the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12 may be provided with a function to add the verification implementation data to the basic information corresponding to the information of the transfer certificate image included in the verification implementation data when the verification implementation data is transmitted from the verification unit 15 or control unit 30. If such a function is provided, for example, it will be possible to know when and who attempted to verify the transfer certificate of construction machinery. Then, if the document that is the source of the verification image is a forged document, it will be possible to quickly identify that a forged document has been created and who possesses it, so that damage due to forgery can be quickly prevented and the effect of deterring forgery can be greatly increased. As mentioned above, it is desirable that the information supplied from the verification unit 15 or the control unit 30 is not immediately added to the basic information of the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12 as soon as it is supplied, but rather temporarily stored in a temporary holding holder or the like of the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12, and that the administrator AD uses the information modification unit 16, which will be described later, to determine whether or not to add or modify the supplied information.
[0068] Furthermore, the basic information may include information regarding the current location of the construction machinery and information regarding its appraised value. If information regarding the current location of construction machinery is included, the procurement of construction machinery can be carried out easily and reliably. For example, a company that wants to use construction machinery with a certain performance level at a certain location can use the browsing function of the registration system 1 of this embodiment to input the desired performance level and the location where it will be used and browse the information. Then, they can find construction machinery that is near the desired location and has the required performance level, so they can procure construction machinery efficiently. Moreover, since the basic information also includes information such as past owners and repair history, it becomes possible to foresee any defects in the construction machinery to be procured in advance. Furthermore, if the basic information includes information on the appraised value of construction machinery, it becomes easy and reliable to determine whether the price and asset value of the construction machinery to be purchased are appropriate. For example, when negotiating the purchase of a certain piece of construction machinery, the browsing function of the registration system 1 of this embodiment can be used to input and view information such as the functions, model, and years of use of the same construction machinery. This allows for a quick and easy determination of whether the price offered by the seller of the construction machinery to be purchased is appropriate. In addition, since the asset value of the construction machinery to be purchased can be determined, providing the viewed information makes it easier to obtain financing from leasing companies and financial institutions such as banks, and financial institutions can also reduce their risk in providing loans. In particular, when viewing the valuation of construction machinery, the initial display of the valuation stored in the basic information could be changed. However, once viewing begins, the system could automatically search or retrieve the current prices of similar construction machinery of the same model in the used market via the internet using AI or similar technologies. This would allow viewers to grasp current prices in a timely manner, enabling them to create purchase plans, enter into sales contracts, and secure financing at appropriate prices. Furthermore, when viewing the listing, it may be possible to display the current price instead of the initial valuation stored in the basic information. Furthermore, when browsing is finished, the browsing unit 15 may have a function to send a command (valuation amount change command) to the control unit 30 requesting a change in the valuation amount stored in the basic information. In this case, the control unit 30 may be provided with a function to automatically change the valuation amount stored in the basic information, or to change it with approval from the administrator AD, upon receiving the valuation amount change command.
[0069] <Information Change Section 16> The registration system 1 of this embodiment has an information modification unit 16 that has the function of directly changing or adding basic information stored in the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12. As mentioned above, each function of the storage unit 12 is configured to acquire information stored in the second storage unit 12b, and the second storage unit 12b is configured to store information such as basic information provided from the first storage unit 12a. However, while the second storage unit 12b provides stored information for viewing and verification, it is not possible or is restricted to change the information. By having such a configuration, the registration system 1 of this embodiment has a system configuration that makes it difficult for tampering with basic information to occur. However, if a new transferor is added to the transfer certificate, it becomes necessary to update the transfer certificate image included in the basic information. Also, there are cases where basic information for new construction machinery needs to be added. Therefore, the registration system 1 of this embodiment is provided with an information modification unit 16 that can only be operated by a restricted administrator AD, etc., so that the basic information stored in the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12 can be changed or added without restriction, while preventing problems such as tampering with the basic information from occurring.
[0070] <Digital Transfer Certificate Creation and Management Function> The registration system 1 of this embodiment is based on a system that verifies and guarantees ownership and any changes thereto using an existing transfer certificate, for example, a written transfer certificate for construction machinery. The registration system 1 of this embodiment may also have a function to create a digital transfer certificate associated with basic information and manage ownership using the digital transfer certificate. In other words, in addition to managing ownership using a written transfer certificate, it may also be possible to manage ownership using a digital transfer certificate.
[0071] For example, when a construction machinery manufacturer produces a new piece of construction machinery, the information modification unit 16 is provided with a function to create new basic information corresponding to the new construction machinery model number when the manufacturer's name, address, and the model number of the construction machinery are entered into the information modification unit 16, and to add the basic information (new basic information) registered in the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12 to the basic information list. When the new basic information is added to the basic information list, the information modification unit 16 is provided with a function to create digital transfer certificate data associated with the new basic information. When the digital transfer certificate data is created, the information modification unit 16 is provided with a function to add information such as the buyer's name and address to the digital transfer certificate data. Furthermore, when a transfer takes place for construction machinery registered in the digital transfer certificate, the information modification unit 16 is provided with a function to add the transferee to the digital transfer certificate. With this configuration, even for new construction machinery, it is possible to reliably ascertain who the owner is and the transfer of ownership, so that ownership can be managed using digital transfer certificates with the registration system 1 of this embodiment.
[0072] In this case as well, if the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12, where the basic information is stored, becomes a node of the private blockchain, even if the digital transfer certificate is digital data that can be copied and modified with greater accuracy and ease than a paper document, it becomes difficult to tamper with the digital transfer certificate. Therefore, even if ownership is managed using a digital transfer certificate, its security and reliability can be increased.
[0073] Furthermore, the information change unit 16 may have a function to determine whether the transferor or transferee of a digital transfer certificate is registered as the transferor or transferee in the basic information list of other construction machinery, and if so, to search and display the transaction history. Having such a function would allow the transferor or transferee to be prompted to consider the transfer agreement by providing them with the transaction history, thereby increasing the security of the transaction. For example, if it can be confirmed that the transferor or transferee is the transferor or transferee of a construction machinery transaction for which a paper transfer certificate is registered, they can be judged as a safe and reliable trading partner. In other words, if the registration system 1 of this embodiment, which manages ownership on paper, is to manage ownership using digital transfer certificates, the security of ownership management and transfer transactions can be increased.
[0074] Furthermore, the information modification unit 16 may have a function to verify the transferor or transferee in cases where the transferor or transferee is not found in past transaction history. For example, a list of companies with criminal records or those that have caused problems in other transactions (a list of risky traders) may be registered in the first storage unit 12a of the storage unit 12, and the information modification unit 16 may be provided with a function to search whether transferors or transferees not found in past transaction history are included in that list. This would reduce the likelihood of transferors or transferees being involved in risky transactions.
[0075] Furthermore, if the viewing unit 13 has a function that allows users to search transaction history by entering company names, etc., the information modification unit 16 does not necessarily have a function to search and display transaction history.
[0076] Furthermore, if the data of the digital transfer certificate is made into an "NFT (Non-Fungible Token)," the reliability of the digital transfer certificate can be further enhanced.
[0077] <Digital Deletion Certificate Creation and Management Function> The registration system 1 of this embodiment may have a function to cancel the registration of ownership and to certify that the registration has been canceled. In other words, it may have a function to create and issue a digital cancellation certificate that certifies that the registration has been canceled. For example, when exporting construction machinery overseas, it is necessary to cancel the registration in Japan, and overseas export becomes possible on the premise that the registration has been canceled. Therefore, if the construction machinery to be exported overseas is registered in the registration system 1 of this embodiment, a function is provided to input the information to cancel the registration into the information change unit 16 mentioned above and add that cancellation information to the basic information. For example, a function is provided to add the user who registered the cancellation, the date of the cancellation registration, the reason for the cancellation, etc., as cancellation information to the basic information. Then, by viewing the basic information, it is possible to prevent troubles such as negotiating the transfer or entering into a purchase contract for construction machinery that no longer exists in Japan, thereby increasing the security of transactions. Furthermore, if the information change unit 16 is equipped with a function to create a digital deregistration certificate proving that the registration has been canceled when deregistration information is registered, the deregistration can be easily and quickly confirmed using the digital deregistration certificate. This makes it possible to enhance the security of transactions while accelerating overseas exports, etc. Furthermore, even if deregistration information is registered for a construction machine, it is desirable that only the deregistration information be added to the machine's basic information, while the basic information list retains the original basic information of that machine. This would allow access to the machine's past information even after deregistration information has been registered. Additionally, it would be easier to restore registration once deregistration information has been registered, and the continuity of information from before deregistration to after re-registration would be maintained. [Industrial applicability]
