Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for authenticating actual human users in online platform and social network service (SNS) environments. Specifically, by issuing only one trust badge per actual human user within the same platform based on certified identity information, the invention provides a system that thoroughly guarantees the anonymity of multiple accounts while technically identifying acts in which a single user mobilizes AI malicious bots and multiple anonymous accounts to manipulate public opinion through specific comments or content, and secures the soundness of the ecosystem by differentiating the influence of human users and non-human users according to platform policies. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, social network services (SNS), online communities, and digital platforms are structured to allow the easy creation of multiple accounts using only email address or phone number verification. Consequently, generative AI-based automated accounts, mass comment bots, public opinion manipulation systems, spam advertisements, phishing, and fraudulent activities are rapidly increasing, making it difficult to effectively prevent them using existing methods such as CAPTCHA, email verification, and phone number verification. In particular, as AI technology advances, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between human users and automated AI accounts; thus, a new trust system is required in the online space to verify "whether the user is a real human" and "whether the account is the only human user account within the same platform." While the trust structure of existing internet services has been account-centric, a human-centric trust structure is required in the future, and technological means to achieve this are necessary. The problem to be solved

[0003] Existing email or phone number verification methods allow for the creation of multiple accounts without limit or according to platform regulations, which leads to a problem where generative AI-based automated bots, public opinion manipulation, spam, and fraudulent activities coexist with the activities of actual human users, thereby causing a gap in trust within the platform. To solve this problem, the present invention aims to provide technical means to establish a human-centered trust structure within the platform ecosystem by thoroughly guaranteeing user anonymity and the freedom to create accounts, while building a unique trust system based on actual human users to clearly distinguish the value of activities between human users and non-human automated accounts.

[0004] Specifically, the present invention utilizes identity identification means issued by a government or accredited institution to issue a single human authentication trust badge to an actual human user within the same platform, and based on this, differentially and variably applies activity permissions within the platform according to the user's trust level, thereby enabling an artificial intelligence automation account and

[0005] The purpose is to redistribute the influence of human users based on trust value. Furthermore, the present invention aims to enhance the soundness of symbiosis within the digital space by establishing a unique trust system granted exclusively to actual human users, while guaranteeing users' freedom to create accounts and anonymity. means of solving the problem

[0006] 1. Authorized Identity-Based Single Human Authentication Trust Badge Issuance System

[0007] A means of identity identification issued by the government or an accredited institution using a mobile device, etc. (Resident Registration Card,

[0008] When a driver's license, passport, digital ID, etc. is submitted, the system obtains identification information using an information extraction module to extract unique identification information from the identity identification means.

[0009] To protect personal information, the extracted information is converted into a unique, irreversible digital identifier using irreversible identifier generation technology. The central authentication server verifies the uniqueness of the generated identifier and manages the process to ensure that the same user can activate only one human authentication trust badge within the platform.

[0010] Through this, the same user can freely operate multiple accounts while ensuring anonymity, but the human authentication trust badge, which serves as the standard of trust within the platform, is assigned to only one account, thereby forming a human user-based trust structure.

[0011] 2. Human Authentication Trust Badge-Based Platform Authority Control System

[0012] Accounts holding the Human Authentication Trust badge are identified as 'Human Authentication Accounts' within the platform, and according to platform policy, the following Trust-based premium privileges Can be granted

[0013] 1. Optimization of content publishing and interaction permissions

[0014] 2. Expanded flexibility in the scope of activities, such as sending large-scale comments and messages.

[0015] 3. Preferential exposure through the assignment of trust weights within search and recommendation algorithms

[0016] 4. Granting access to high-reliability services such as live streaming and payments

[0017] 5. Provision of Trust Certification Qualifications for Commercial Activities and Advertising Execution

[0018] 6. Addition of influence and trust scores within the platform ecosystem

[0019] Conversely, accounts without a human authentication trust badge are identified as 'unauthenticated accounts,' and the system maintains a healthy trust ecosystem centered on human users by adjusting their activity frequency or exposure relative to human-authenticated accounts according to each platform's operational policy, or by requiring additional trust authentication procedures when abnormal automation is suspected.

[0020] 1. Managing the appropriate level of activity per unit of time

[0021] 2. Reliability-based allocation of content upload frequency

[0022] 3. Optimization of exposure priority within search and recommendation algorithms

[0023] 4. Intelligent rate limiting for indiscriminate message sending

[0024] 5. Request additional trusted authentication for identity verification upon detection of abnormal activity

[0025] This system is configured to allow for flexible and variable configuration of the aforementioned permission control logic, reflecting the different service environments and operational philosophies of each platform. Through this, the platform guarantees the freedom of account creation while technically distinguishing the activities of human users to establish an environment where real humans and automated accounts can coexist.

[0026] 3. Single Attribution and Multi-Account Operation Policy for Human Authentication Trust Badges

[0027] The core of this system lies in the fact that it fully guarantees the freedom to create accounts within the platform while selectively focusing solely on the trust value of human users. Users can freely create and manage multiple accounts according to their purpose, such as anonymous accounts, hobby accounts, and work accounts.

[0028] However, the 'Human Authentication Trust Badge,' which proves human identity, can be selectively assigned and activated to only one account among multiple accounts held by the same user. The remaining accounts to which the badge is not linked are automatically classified as 'unauthenticated accounts.'

[0029] Through this, the system visually and clearly distinguishes the trustworthiness of accounts within the platform without infringing upon user anonymity. Users can intuitively verify whether the other party is a real human user through the badges they possess, and the platform can efficiently operate a human-centered trust ecosystem even in a multi-account environment.

[0030] 4. Hardware binding-based authentication enhancement system

[0031] To prevent reliability distortion and theft of human authentication trust badges using automation programs or remote control environments, a mobile terminal capable of user biometric authentication is registered as a 'security master terminal' to perform hardware binding between the system and the hardware.

[0032] When major events such as login, payment, or posting of sensitive content occur in various environments, including PCs, the system generates a variable QR code or a push authentication request containing real-time session information and transmits it to the registered master terminal. The user performs additional authentication procedures, including biometric authentication, through the master terminal, and the system grants permission to use the session's key functions only upon completion of such authentication.

[0033] Through this, it technically identifies large-scale macro attacks or badge theft attempts using web drivers, emulators, and automation scripts, and secures the legitimacy of trust within the platform by verifying that they are intentional manipulations by actual humans. By preventing non-human account intervention through such hardware-based real-time verification, this system provides a secure trust infrastructure where only human users can exercise key platform authority.

[0034] 5. Strengthening Trusted Authentication through Integration with Accredited Authentication Systems

[0035] In order to provide a more advanced security environment, the system of the present invention supports interoperability with digital authentication software issued by a government or accredited institution, a mobile-based identity identification program, or a hardware security module (such as OTP).

[0036] To access accounts with Human Authentication Trust Badges, additional authentication through an accredited identity verification program may be optionally required, going beyond simple password entry. This features a hierarchical security structure that reconfirms the account's humanity by linking in real-time with security platforms verified by national or accredited institutions, extending beyond internal system security protocols.

[0037] Through this, the present invention can elevate personal account-level security to a nationally certified security infrastructure and complete a trust ecosystem that fundamentally blocks attempts to steal badges by hacking or automated programs. Effects of the invention

[0038] The present invention provides the following effects by converting an account-based trust system into a human-based trust system.

[0039] 1. Accounts holding human authentication trust badges and other accounts can be clearly identified and distinguished.

[0040] 2. A healthy ecosystem centered on human users can be secured by flexibly adjusting the influence of accounts without human authentication trust badges (AI accounts, factory accounts, anonymous accounts, etc.) according to platform policies.

[0041] 3. It is possible to establish a trust authentication system that verifies the reality of actual humans while guaranteeing user anonymity and the freedom to create accounts.

[0042] 3-1.By restricting only the trust value attributed to human users without restricting account creation itself, it is possible to provide a human-centered trust structure that is distinct from existing real-name systems or one-person-one-account policies.

[0043] 4. By technically distinguishing structures where automated systems or mass-produced accounts exert excessive influence within the platform, it is possible to create a healthy symbiotic environment for human and non-human accounts.

[0044] It can be utilized as a foundational technology for building a digital human trust infrastructure required in the future era of artificial intelligence.

[0045] [Principles of Public Interest and Guarantee of Freedom of Expression]

[0046] The present invention aims to establish an authentication and online trust system for actual human users and is not intended to restrict users' freedom of expression, anonymity, or freedom to create accounts.

[0047] Users may freely create and operate multiple accounts, anonymous accounts, hobby accounts, work accounts, or accounts for public interest purposes as needed.

[0048] However, only one human authentication trust badge according to the present invention can be activated for the same user within the same platform, and an account without a human authentication trust badge is guaranteed free activity as a general anonymous account.

[0049] Therefore, the present invention is not a system that blocks specific types of accounts, but rather a system that clearly distinguishes the trust value between human authentication trust badge accounts and other accounts, and defines their respective roles within the platform ecosystem.

[0050] Furthermore, this invention does not exclude the possibility of anonymous activities for whistleblowing, protection of the socially vulnerable, expression of political opinions, creative activities, and other public interest purposes, and adopts the simultaneous achievement of guaranteeing anonymity and securing human trustworthiness as a core value.

[0051] [Key Concepts]

[0052] "On the internet, maintain anonymity, but prove your humanity." Brief explanation of the drawing

[0053] FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating the overall operation process of a certified identity-based single human authentication trust badge issuance and platform authority control system according to the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0054] The authorized identity-based single human authentication trust badge issuance and platform authority control system according to the present invention is implemented as follows to reliably identify actual human users in an online environment and to precisely manage the influence between the automated environment and human users.

[0055] 1. Initial Human Authentication Trust Badge Issuance Process

[0056] Users submit government-issued identification (passport, resident registration card, etc.) via authentication means such as mobile devices, and the system verifies the user's existence through OCR and biometric comparison technologies. The verified information is converted into an irreversible unique identifier (Hash) and registered with a central authentication server. This process generates a unique 'Root of Trust' within the platform that proves the user's humanity, and the platform controls the activation of only a single human authentication trust badge based on this identifier.

[0057] 2. Platform permission control based on badge ownership

[0058] Accounts holding the Human Authentication Trust badge are classified as 'Human Verified Accounts' and receive benefits such as expanded content publishing privileges, preferential treatment in search and recommendation algorithms, and rights to commercial activities. Conversely, 'Unverified Accounts' without the badge are subject to technical restrictions in accordance with platform policies, including limits on the number of posts and exposure, as well as requirements for additional authentication to prevent automation. Through this, the platform establishes a trust structure centered on actual human users.

[0059] 3. Multi-account Operation and Badge Attribution Policy

[0060] The present invention allows users to create multiple accounts to guarantee user anonymity and the freedom to create accounts. However, by restricting the Human Authentication Trust Badge to be assigned to only one of the multiple accounts held by the user, it technically mitigates the phenomenon where a specific user excessively concentrates influence within the platform by using multiple accounts.

[0061] 4. Continuous authentication based on secure login programs

[0062] After the initial badge issuance, accessing the human-authenticated account requires logging in via a 'dedicated authentication program (secure OTP, dedicated authentication app, etc.)' that goes beyond simple password entry. This program is a trust-based authentication tool either selected by the user or provided by the government or an institution, and it is hardware-bound to the initially registered identifier. Whenever a login attempt is made, the system sends a real-time authentication request through this program, and the key functions of the human-authenticated account are activated only when a valid authentication value is entered. This serves as a technical means to verify that the operation is an intentional manipulation by an actual human, rather than an automated environment.

[0063] 5. Identifying Trust and Establishing a Symbiotic Environment within the Platform

[0064] The present invention immediately distinguishes the presence or absence of a dedicated authentication program and the success or failure of authentication from the login stage. Through this, it systematically separates 'human authenticated accounts' accessed through a separate dedicated authentication program from 'other accounts (anonymous / AI accounts, etc.)' using a general login method, thereby assigning differential trust values ​​to the influence and scope of activity of each account. Through such a multi-layered security authentication structure, the present invention technically identifies and manages the indiscriminate entry of bots into the system, and establishes a healthy symbiotic environment where human users and non-human accounts can operate in their respective domains.

[0066] No separate symbols are shown in the drawings of this specification.
