Video Skill Endorsement Platform for Verifiable Soft-Skill References
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to effectively verify and endorse the softer skills and talents of individuals, particularly in informal employment sectors, leading to biased and unreliable references, which hinder job opportunities and credibility assessment.
Innovation Solution
A mobile application and platform that enables users to create and store video endorsements or photographic images, allowing for secure and verifiable reviews of skills and services through joint recordings, either in-person or virtually, with blockchain verification for trust and credibility.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional interview processes are used to assess job applicants, then the interviewing process is simple and quick, but softer skills and talents cannot be reliably identified
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses video recordings as copies of individuals' actual behavior and interactions, capturing softer skills like empathy, communication style, and emotional intelligence that cannot be measured through conventional interviews. These video copies provide authentic evidence of personal characteristics without requiring complex assessment procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical interview process with video recording technology, substituting human interviewer judgment with automated video capture and analysis systems. This substitution enables more accurate assessment of softer skills while simplifying the overall assessment mechanism.
2Reliability
If video endorsements are collected and stored securely, then reliability and trustworthiness of references improve, but system complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain-based verification system as an intermediary layer between video endorsement creation and storage. This intermediary provides automated verification, authentication, and secure storage without requiring complex manual processes, thereby improving reliability while managing system complexity through technological mediation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to create and upload their own video endorsements independently, with automated verification and storage processes. This self-service approach reduces the need for complex manual administration while ensuring reliable and trustworthy reference material is collected and stored securely.

AI summary
A system operable to enable the endorsement of individuals and/or their skills by third parties, including one or more of the following: a means for a first user of said system to create a user profile on said system; a means of making a video recording or photographic image, said video recording or photographic image being that of said first user being together with a second user either in person recording the joint video endorsement side by side or virtually when it is not possible for both parties to be in the same physical location; a means of enabling said first and/or said second user to associate said videorecording or photographic image to a user profile of said first and/or said second user on said system, in use; and database/s operable to store one or more user profiles including video recordings and/or photographic images associated with a user.
