Blockchain Image Authenticity Management With Unified Guarantee Numbers
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In managing digital images generated by a content generating apparatus, there is a risk of users designating incorrect content from a plurality of related images to determine authenticity, as existing blockchain-based systems do not effectively manage images with the same appearance.
Innovation Solution
A management system that generates a single authenticity guarantee number for a group of related images, registers this number and their hash values in a blockchain, and displays it alongside the images, ensuring that users select the correct image for authenticity verification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If separate authenticity guarantee numbers are assigned to each content, then content identification precision is improved, but user operation complexity increases when dealing with multiple related contents having the same appearance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple related contents (bracket photographs with same appearance) under a single authenticity guarantee number. The management system groups contents that are determined to be related based on similarity comparison, and assigns one authenticity guarantee number to the entire group. This eliminates the need for users to distinguish between multiple identical-looking contents, resolving the contradiction by combining identification precision with operational simplicity.
2Reliability
If blockchain registration is performed for each content separately, then data integrity is improved, but system complexity increases due to managing multiple identical contents
Solution Approach 1:
The patent reduces system complexity by merging the blockchain registration process for related contents. Instead of registering each bracket photograph separately, the system performs a single blockchain registration for the group of related contents sharing the same authenticity guarantee number. This maintains data integrity through blockchain's inherent properties while eliminating redundant registration operations and reducing system complexity.
3Measurement precision
If multiple authenticity guarantee numbers are managed for related contents, then verification accuracy is improved, but information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges information management for related contents by using a single authenticity guarantee number to represent the entire group. The management system stores and manages one authenticity guarantee number per group of related contents rather than multiple separate numbers. This reduces information management complexity while maintaining verification accuracy, as the single authenticity guarantee number applies to all contents in the group that share the same authenticity status.
Data Source
AI summary
A management system capable of preventing a user from designating an incorrect content is provided. The management system includes a receiving unit to receive a plurality of contents and a plurality of hash values, a determining unit to determine whether or not the plurality of contents are related to each other, a generating unit to generate one authenticity guarantee number when the plurality of contents are related to each other and generate different authenticity guarantee numbers when the plurality of contents are not related to each other, and a registering unit to register the generated one authenticity guarantee number or the generated authenticity guarantee numbers, and the plurality of hash values in a blockchain. The registering unit writes one authenticity guarantee number and a hash value of a content corresponding to the one authenticity guarantee number into one block and connects the one block to the blockchain.
