Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an electronic certification system, and more particularly to a testing method for easily certifying that a user is not infected with a specific infectious disease. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is raging around the world. The problem here is that while taking measures against infection, such as refraining from going out, can prevent the spread of infection to a certain extent, it will also mean that customers will stay away from tourist facilities, accommodation facilities, and restaurants, causing the economy to shrink, and conversely, any attempt to revitalize the economy will only lead to the spread of infection. Thus, there is an urgent need to balance the prevention of the spread of infection with revitalization of the economy.

[0003] In this situation, the Japanese government is encouraging people to avoid the three Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, and close contact), and is also running the Go To Travel campaign, a measure to stimulate consumption, to support industries that have suffered a sharp drop in sales due to the effects of COVID-19 and are in a difficult position.

[0004] The GOTO campaign consists of GOTO Travel, which offers discounts on accommodation and travel costs; GOTO Eat, which gives points that can be used next time you eat and drink; and GOTO Event, which gives discounts or coupons when purchasing tickets for events, etc., and provides users with benefits such as discounts, coupons, and points.

[0005] Patent Document 1 discloses a system that keeps track of travelers' schedules from travel information such as passports, and if the traveler is diagnosed separately and found to be infected with an infectious disease, notifies relevant notification parties (for example, the boarding gate if the traveler is not boarding yet) of the infection. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2009-31887 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, the system described in Patent Document 1 is designed to grasp a traveler's travel schedule from the personal ID on the passport, airline ticket, and boarding pass, and notification destinations are limited to each point during air travel (boarding gate, airplane, airport).In addition, the system functions only when a traveler is infected, and is not designed for travelers to proactively prove that they are not infected (negative).

[0008] In order to prevent the spread of infection while revitalizing the economy, ideally only non-infected people would be allowed to move around freely and use facilities, and if necessary, incentives would be given to them.

[0009] Currently, people are allowed to move around and use facilities by simply taking their temperature and confirming that they do not have a fever and determining that they are non-infected. However, as there have been reports of asymptomatic infections with the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), this is not a sufficient measure and the risk of infection spreading remains.

[0010] Therefore, as a result of extensive research, the inventors have discovered that the above problems can be solved by a system that stores a user's diagnosis results and provides test results upon request from the user. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] One aspect of the present invention is an electronic certification system that easily certifies that a user is not infected with a specific infectious disease, the electronic certification system comprising: a server; a test information acquisition unit that acquires test information including test results for the specific infectious disease based on a sample collected from the user and subject information; a test information storage unit that stores the test information; a request receiving unit that receives a test information notification request and a user ID from a test result confirmation terminal; and a test information notification unit that notifies the test result confirmation terminal of the test results if the user ID matches the subject information stored in the test information storage unit.

[0012] Another aspect of the present invention is an electronic certification system that easily certifies that a user is not infected with a specific infectious disease, the electronic certification system comprising: a server; a test information acquisition unit that acquires test information including test results for the specific infectious disease based on a sample collected from the user and subject information; a test information storage unit that stores the test information; a request receiving unit that receives a test information notification request and a user ID from a mobile terminal held by the user; and a test information notification unit that notifies the mobile terminal of the test results if the user ID matches the subject information stored in the test information storage unit.

[0013] Yet another aspect of the present invention is characterized in that an electronic privilege is given to a user in accordance with test information. Effect of the Invention

[0014] The electronic certification system of the present invention allows users to easily prove that they are not infected with a specific infectious disease, allowing them to move around and use facilities with peace of mind, thereby making it possible to prevent the spread of infection while revitalizing the economy.

[0016] (First embodiment) A first embodiment of an electronic certification system of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. However, the following description is an example of the electronic certification system of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0017] A user 50 who wishes to prove that he or she is negative for a specific infectious disease undergoes a test at any medical institution 40. Test information (test results, subject information) is transmitted as electronic information from the medical institution to test information acquisition unit 1. The test information is stored in test information storage unit 2.

[0018] 2 is a diagram for explaining the test information stored in the test information storage unit 2. Test results 61 and subject information 60 are stored. Electronic bonus information 62 may or may not be present.

[0019] The subject information 60 includes biometric information such as fingerprint feature information and a facial photograph. These pieces of information can be registered as part of the user information when an account is created for the electronic authentication system of the present invention. These pieces of information can then be used for identity authentication.

[0020] Meanwhile, on another occasion, the same user 10 can prove his / her negative test result at the entrance of an event venue or the like as follows. That is, the user 10 goes to the location where the test result confirmation terminal 3 is located and presents his / her user ID (e.g., IC card) to the person in charge. This IC card was issued to the user 10 by the operator of the electronic certification system of the present invention when the user 10 created an account for the electronic certification system of the present invention.

[0021] The person in charge reads the user ID with a reading device provided in the test result confirmation terminal 3. Through this process, the test result confirmation terminal 3 transmits a test information notification request and the user ID to the request receiving unit 4.

[0022] The server 9 compares this user ID with the subject information 60 stored in the test information storage unit 2 to confirm identity. If identity is confirmed, the test information notification unit 5 notifies the test result confirmation terminal 3 of the test result 61.

[0023] 4 is an example of the test result 61 displayed on the screen of the test result confirmation terminal 3. A facial photograph of the subject is displayed as subject information 60 together with the test result 61. This allows the person in charge to verify that the content of the test result 61 is indeed that of the person in front of them by comparing the face of the user 10 with the facial photograph displayed on the screen of the test result confirmation terminal 3. This identity verification is optional. It is preferable that the subject information 60 displayed on the screen of the test result confirmation terminal 3 is the minimum information necessary for identity confirmation while taking into consideration the privacy of the user 10.

[0024] This procedure proves that the user 10 is negative. The test result confirmation terminal 3 hands the user 10 a paper printout of the same content as the screen in Figure 4, which can then be used as a negative certificate at the event venue on the day.

[0025] Second Embodiment A second embodiment of an electronic certification system 200 of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 2. However, the following description is merely an example of the electronic certification system of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this.

[0026] The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that it does not have a test result confirmation terminal 3, and instead uses a mobile terminal 7 of a user 10.

[0027] A user 10 operates a mobile terminal 7 at the entrance of an event venue or the like, accesses the electronic certification system of the present invention via an app or the cloud, and transmits a test information notification request and the user ID to the request receiving unit 4.

[0028] The server 9 compares this user ID with the subject information 60 stored in the test information storage unit 2 to confirm identity. If identity is confirmed, the test information notification unit 5 notifies the portable terminal 7 of the test result 61.

[0029] 5 is an example of the inspection result 61 displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 7. It is also displayed that the identity of the user has been confirmed by face authentication as identity authentication information 63. This indicates that the electronic authentication system of the present invention has confirmed that the image of the user 10's face taken by the camera of the mobile terminal 7 matches the facial feature amount as biometric information registered in the user ID. Since the date and time of confirmation is also recorded, the person in charge can easily confirm that the identity of the user 10 was confirmed when face authentication was performed in front of the person in charge. The method of identity verification may be a method of displaying a facial photograph of the user 10 on the screen of the mobile terminal 7, as shown in FIG. 4, or it may be a method of password authentication or no identity verification.

[0030] (infectious disease) An infectious disease is a disease that causes symptoms when a pathogen (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites) invades the body. In addition to vertical infection, such as from mother to child, infection can occur via horizontal infection (contact infection, droplet infection, airborne infection, fomites infection) that spreads from the source of infection to the surrounding area.

[0031] Infectious diseases are classified according to the degree of danger from a comprehensive perspective based on factors such as infectivity and the severity of the disease. For example, Class 1 infectious diseases include Ebola hemorrhagic fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, smallpox, South American hemorrhagic fever, plague, Marburg disease, and Lassa fever. Class 2 infectious diseases include acute poliomyelitis, diphtheria, severe acute respiratory syndrome (limited to SARS coronavirus), tuberculosis, and avian influenza (H5N1). Class 3 infectious diseases include enterohemorrhagic E. coli infection, cholera, bacterial dysentery, typhoid fever, and paratyphoid fever. At present, the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is classified as equivalent to a designated infectious disease Class 2.

[0032] The infectious diseases targeted by the electronic certification system of the present invention are infectious diseases that are easily transmitted horizontally and have high infectivity and severity when contracted. In particular, the infectious disease is the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). There may be multiple types of infectious diseases targeted by the system.

[0033] The method of testing for whether or not a person is infected with a specific infectious disease can be an appropriate method depending on the characteristics of the specific infectious disease, such as a PCR method, an antigen test, or an antibody test.

[0034] (Test results) The test result is the test result (positive or negative) on whether or not a person is infected with a specific infectious disease, as well as related information such as the test date and time, the test method, and information on the testing institution.

[0035] (Subject information) The subject information is information for identifying the subject, such as name, sex, age, date of birth, address, telephone number, personal identification number (My Number), biometric information (face, fingerprint, voiceprint, veins), face photo, etc. In particular, if the subject information includes a face photo, this is preferable since it makes identity authentication easier.

[0036] (Test information) The test information is comprehensive information on whether or not a user of the electronic certification system of the present invention is infected with a specific infectious disease, and includes test results and subject information.

[0037] (Test result acquisition section) A user of the electronic certification system of the present invention is required to be tested for a specific infectious disease at a medical institution, etc. The medical institution can appropriately adopt an appropriate test method according to the characteristics of the specific infectious disease.

[0038] The medical institution transmits the test information obtained as a result of the test as electronic information to the test result acquisition unit in response to a request from a user of the electronic certification system of the present invention. The medical institution can also notify the user of the test information in response to a request from the user of the electronic certification system of the present invention.

[0039] In the present invention, test information may be digitized at the medical institution as described above and then transmitted to the test result acquisition unit, or paper-based information, such as a test certificate, may be digitized as appropriate by the user or the operator of the electronic certification system of the present invention and then transmitted to the test result acquisition unit.

[0040] (Test Information Storage Department) The examination information storage unit stores examination information including examination results and subject information.

[0041] When a user of the electronic certification system of the present invention wishes to certify his / her own infection status, he / she can send a test information notification request and a user ID to the request receiving unit. This request can be made via a test result confirmation terminal or a mobile terminal.

[0042] (User ID) The content of the user ID is information for identifying the user, such as the name, sex, age, address, telephone number, and biometric information (face, fingerprint, voiceprint, and veins).

[0043] The user ID can be embedded in an IC card or magnetic card, or stored in a smartphone, tablet, or wearable device.

[0044] When the user ID is embedded in an IC card or a magnetic card, the user ID can be read by an IC card reader, a magnetic card reader, or the like.

[0045] When the user ID is stored in a smartphone, tablet, or wearable device, the user can convert the user ID into an image suitable for reading, such as a QR code (registered trademark) or barcode, via an identity authentication app or the like, and read this with a QR code (registered trademark) reader or barcode reader. Also, when the user ID is stored on a chip in the smartphone, tablet, or wearable device, it is possible to read the chip directly. Furthermore, it is also possible to read the user ID using communications such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). In this way, when the user ID is stored in a smartphone, tablet, or wearable device, various reading methods can be adopted.

[0046] The identity of the user ID holder may be confirmed by self-declaration by the holder, but if more strict confirmation is required, the following methods can be taken.

[0047] If the user ID is embedded in an IC card or magnetic card, it can be confirmed by entering a password such as a PIN number or by comparing the holder's face with the photograph of the person displayed on the IC card or magnetic card.

[0048] If the user ID is stored on a smartphone, tablet, or wearable device, it can be confirmed by entering a password such as a PIN, or by displaying a facial photo on an identity authentication app and comparing it with the holder's face.

[0049] In either case, the biometric information of the user ID is stored and can be verified by matching the user with the biometric information. Using a reading device to authenticate an individual using biometric information (face, fingerprint, voiceprint, vein) has the advantage that personal information is less likely to be leaked compared to identification using name, sex, age, address, phone number, etc.

[0050] Test Information Notification Department (Test Information Notification Department) When the user ID accepted by the request accepting unit matches the subject information stored in the test information storage unit, the test information notifying unit transmits the test results to the test result confirmation terminal or the mobile terminal, which then displays the test results on the screen of the test result confirmation terminal or the mobile terminal.

[0051] From the viewpoint of privacy protection, the test information notification unit may not transmit the subject information to the test result confirmation terminal or mobile terminal. This is because if the subject information is displayed on the screen of the test result confirmation terminal or mobile terminal, it may result in unnecessary personal information beyond positive or negative being shown to those who want to confirm the user's infection status. However, it is also possible to transmit the subject information to the test result confirmation terminal or mobile terminal upon request of the user. In this case, it becomes easier to prove that the person presenting the test results and the subject of the test results are the same person.

[0052] The notification method adopted by the examination information notification unit is electronic communication using the Internet, e-mail, etc., which is quick and convenient.

[0053] Test result confirmation terminal (Test result confirmation terminal) The test result confirmation terminal is a PC, smartphone, tablet, etc. equipped with communication capabilities.

[0054] An example of the hardware configuration of the test result confirmation terminal is a CPU, memory, display, input / output device, and communication interface. The input device includes an IC card reader, a magnetic card reader, a QR code (registered trademark) reader, a barcode reader, Bluetooth (registered trademark) communication, and other devices that have the function of reading a user ID. The output device includes a printer. The memory may be a hard disk memory, an IC memory, an SSD (Solid State Drive), etc.

[0055] The test result confirmation terminal may have software installed therein for running the electronic certification system of the present invention, or the electronic certification system of the present invention may be run on the cloud.

[0056] Test result confirmation terminals will be installed in places where it is necessary to check whether users are infected, such as event venues, hotels, public transportation (airplanes, bullet trains), sports gyms, restaurants, etc. Test result confirmation terminals are operated by people who want to check the infection status of users at the locations where they are installed, such as event venue organizers, aircraft boarding gate staff, and staff stationed at the entrances of sports gyms and restaurants.

[0057] When the user presents his / her user ID and the operator of the test result confirmation terminal reads it, the test result confirmation terminal transmits the user ID and a test information notification request to the request receiving unit.

[0058] The test results are displayed on the screen of the test result confirmation terminal. This allows the viewer of the test result confirmation terminal to check the infection status of the user. As mentioned above, the screen of the test result confirmation terminal may display subject information in addition to the test results. It is preferable for the subject information to display a facial photograph, as this makes it easier to authenticate the subject.

[0059] If the test result confirmation terminal is able to confirm that the user has tested negative, it can print out a certificate indicating this and hand it over to the user. The user can then easily prove that they have tested negative by presenting the certificate.

[0060] (Mobile devices) The mobile device is a smartphone, tablet, wearable device, etc. equipped with communication functions. Even if there is no test result confirmation terminal at the location where the user's infection status is checked, the user can easily prove that they are negative by presenting the test result on the screen of their own mobile device.

[0061] Examples of the hardware configuration of a mobile terminal include a CPU, memory, a display, an input device (including a touch panel), and a communication interface. The input device may include a biometric authentication device (camera, fingerprint authentication function, vein authentication function). The memory may be a hard disk memory, an IC memory, an SSD (Solid State Drive), etc.

[0062] Software for running the electronic certification system of the present invention may be installed on the mobile terminal, or the electronic certification system of the present invention may be run on the cloud.

[0063] The user operates a mobile device to request the request receiving unit to notify the test results to the mobile device. At this time, the user ID is also sent to the request receiving unit.

[0064] If the mobile terminal has a biometric authentication device as an input device, the result of the user's biometric authentication may also be transmitted to the request receiving unit. This allows the fact that the user has been authenticated to be noted when the test result is notified to the mobile terminal, making it possible to prove to the subject that the result has been authenticated.

[0065] Once the test results are displayed on the mobile device screen, the user can present the screen to prove to the recipient that they are negative.

[0066] (Electronic bonus) Electronic benefits include discounts, coupons, points, and virtual currency (cryptocurrency) offered by the national or local government, private businesses, and regional promotion associations. Virtual currency uses a P2P system that utilizes blockchain technology, and is typified by Bitcoin. Virtual currency includes regional virtual currency that can be used in specific regions.

[0067] The test information storage unit of the electronic certification system of the present invention stores test information. The test information includes test results, which are information on whether the user is positive or negative. The server of the electronic certification system of the present invention can grant electronic privileges to users who can be confirmed as negative. This has the effect of encouraging users who can be confirmed as negative to travel and use facilities.

[0068] Furthermore, the test information stored in the test information storage unit includes subject information. The server of the electronic certification system of the present invention can determine whether or not to grant electronic privileges and the degree of grant for each user based on this subject information. For example, it is possible not to grant electronic privileges to users who live in areas with a relatively high number or percentage of positive cases for a specific infectious disease, such as Tokyo or Osaka. The approval conditions announced by the government can be used as a reference for this judgment standard.

[0069] Possible methods for managing electronic benefits include a P2P system using blockchain technology, a client-server system managed by a central server, a hybrid system, etc. Of these, the P2P system using blockchain technology is preferable from the perspective of transaction transparency.

[0070] This section explains the P2P method using blockchain technology. A blockchain network is a P2P (Peer to Peer) network that uses blockchain technology, and each communication medium participating in the network is connected to each other as a node. Unlike client-server networks managed by a central server, a P2P network does not have a server or hierarchical structure, and all nodes are basically connected in a flat manner so that they share the load related to service processing.

[0071] The communication media participating in the blockchain network are various communication media that can communicate through the network, such as PCs, smartphones, tablets, etc. These communication media create a P2P type network. Each communication medium has a public ledger that contains transactions related to past cryptocurrency transactions.

[0072] Each public ledger is a record of all cryptocurrency transactions that have occurred using blockchain technology. New transactions are added to each public ledger as blocks using the proof-of-work mechanism, and are shared across the ledger.

[0073] As a hybrid method, it is possible to adopt a consortium chain or a private chain. Although a public chain has the advantage of having no administrator and being highly transparent, it also has the disadvantage of taking time to process and obtain the consent of participants. For these reasons, a hybrid method can be appropriately adopted as a method for managing electronic benefits.

[0074] In a client-server method managed by a central server, electronic benefits are stored in an electronic benefit information storage unit. In a P2P method using blockchain technology, transaction history is stored in a public ledger using blockchain technology.

[0075] An example of a method for granting an electronic privilege is a method in which the server of the electronic certification system of the present invention grants the above-mentioned managed electronic privilege to a specific user through electronic processing.

[0076] Electronic benefits are created in the form of discounts, coupons, points, virtual currency (cryptocurrency), etc. by being initiated or hosted by national or local governments, private businesses, regional development associations, etc. and managed in the above-mentioned manner. The server of the electronic certification system of the present invention holds the electronic benefits created in this way and can grant them to users as appropriate based on information such as the user's infection status and residential area. This makes it possible to grasp the infection status of users and to centrally manage the granting of electronic benefits, making it easier to achieve both prevention of the spread of infection and economic revitalization.

[0077] The method of using electronic benefits is basically, but not limited to, the user presenting his / her user ID at the place of use.

[0078] Electronic benefits may be designed to be available only to the user to whom they are issued and non-transferable, but they can also be designed to be transferable.

[0079] In the latter case, for example, if both users A and B initially test negative and are issued electronic benefits, but then user A tests positive in a second test just before traveling (user B still tests negative), user A will not be able to use the electronic benefits, and the benefits will be of little use to him even if he has them. Therefore, user A can transfer the electronic benefits he holds to user B, who can use them, thereby making it possible to make effective use of the electronic benefits.

[0080] There are no particular restrictions on the electronic benefits that can be transferred. Not only can benefits that can be combined, such as points and virtual currency, but also benefits that cannot be combined, such as discounts and coupons, be transferred without any problems.

[0081] The process for transferring electronic benefits is as follows:

[0082] When using a mobile device owned by a user in which a usage ID is stored, User A requests the electronic certification system of the present invention on his / her mobile device to grant User B the unit of quantity of the selected electronic privilege. The user ID is also transmitted to the electronic certification system of the present invention at the same time. Through this process, the electronic privilege is transferred to User B.

[0083] In the case where the mobile terminal owned by the user on which the usage ID is stored is not used, User A accesses the system of the present invention on his / her own personal computer terminal and performs the same process as described above, thereby transferring the electronic benefit to User B. At this time, the identity of User B can be confirmed by entering the user ID and password on the personal computer terminal, reading an IC card or magnetic card, or the like.

[0084] Electronic benefits of the same type that can be combined can be combined for multiple users. This allows multiple users to be grouped together and payments can be made on a group basis. For example, points and virtual currency can be combined, while discounts and coupons can be combined. However, there may be cases where the above differs depending on the nature of the benefits.

[0085] As a specific example of combining electronic benefits, assume that user A has 110 units of local virtual currency, user B has 50 units, and user C has 60 units, and users A to C use an inn that allows 70 units per person to stay in an area where the local virtual currency can be used. If users A to C each need to use the local virtual currency individually, only user A can stay with only the local virtual currency, and users B and C cannot stay with only the local virtual currency. However, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the local virtual currencies of users A to C can be combined and used for payment, so that by applying a total of 220 units to the accommodation expenses of users A to C, everyone can stay with only the local virtual currency, which is convenient and efficient. In the above case, users A to C can appropriately decide how to distribute the remaining 10 units.

[0086] The method for processing the combination of electronic benefits is as follows:

[0087] When using a mobile terminal owned by a user in which a user ID is stored, the user requests the electronic certification system of the present invention on his / her mobile terminal to belong to a specific group, and at that time requests that the unit of quantity selected for the selected electronic privilege be given to the specific group. Through this process, the electronic privilege is transferred to the specific group.

[0088] If the user does not use the mobile terminal in which the user ID is stored, the user can access the system of the present invention from his / her own personal computer terminal and carry out the same process as above to transfer the electronic privilege to a specific group. At this time, the user can be identified by entering the user ID and password into the personal computer terminal, or by reading an IC card or magnetic card.

[0089] By having multiple users carry out the above process, multiple users can grant electronic benefits to a specific group and the benefits can be added up.

[0090] The combined electronic benefits can be paid for on a group basis by selecting the specific group as the user. The authority to make payments on a group basis may be given to all users who are members of the group, or a representative member may be selected and only that user may be given the authority to make payments on a group basis.
