Badge System for Platform User Permission Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current online platform services lack effective permission control and verification mechanisms for users, particularly for celebrity users, which leads to issues like celebrity impersonation.
Innovation Solution
A platform user management method and apparatus utilizing a badge system that grants permission to user accounts, generates badges, and activates permissions based on predefined conditions, ensuring reliable user authentication and preventing impersonation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If permission control is implemented only by the service provider, then centralized control is maintained, but affiliated users cannot manage their own users' permissions
Solution Approach 1:
The permission management system is segmented into multiple levels: the service provider maintains overall control while affiliated users (artists) are granted autonomous permission management capabilities for their own users. This segmentation allows distributed permission control without compromising overall system security, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary verification mechanism using badges that act as mediators between the service provider and users. These badges verify user identities (such as celebrity status) and enable permission control without requiring direct service provider intervention in every permission grant, thus enhancing adaptability while managing complexity.
2Reliability
If no verification technology is provided, then the platform is simple to operate, but celebrity impersonation cannot be prevented
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification by issuing badges to authenticated users (such as verified celebrities) before they engage in platform activities. This advance verification establishes trust credentials that prevent impersonation, improving reliability without requiring complex verification at every interaction point.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses visual badges (referred to as 'color changes' in the context of visual identification) that display different characteristics for different user types. These visual indicators allow users to quickly identify verified accounts, enhancing authentication reliability through simple visual cues rather than complex verification processes.
3Adaptability or versatility
If badge generation permission is granted to user accounts, then permission control is enhanced, but system security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The badge permission system is designed to be dynamic: service providers can grant, revoke, or modify badge permissions based on changing requirements. Affiliated users can manage their own users' badges within their scope. This dynamic control allows flexible permission management while maintaining security through centralized oversight capabilities.

AI summary
Provided is a platform user management method using a badge system performed by a computing device. The method comprises granting a badge generation permission to a first user account, generating a first badge according to a request for using the badge generation permission of the first user account, granting the first badge to the second user account and activating a first permission to a second user account when the first badge is equipped to the second user account.
