What is a Patent for Method and apparatus to verify the information of an entity
Search Patent for Method and apparatus to verify the information of an entity
The Internet has enabled us to offer more services on the Internet. These include electronic commerce, social networks and banking services. To ensure authenticity and security, users typically need to upload certain entity details to verify their identity. For instance, the entity information can include location information, name information, real scene images, etc. For example, verify entity information of the physical store supplied by an e-commerce merchant, and verify the information about an entity of a business given by the user.
The technology currently in use allows the location information and images of real-time to be checked by a human review. For example, a retailer can manually review the location information and images of their physical stores. Another option is to manually review the location information and images of a company provided by the user.
However, in the real world, information about location and real-world scene images are highly complex and varying the authenticity of location information and real scene images of any entity can’t be verified one by one by human scrutiny as such, and verification must be by relying on personal experience. Human review can also be affected by the fact that information about location and images of real scenes can be easily falsified. Thus, the approach in the existing technology that entityinformation is verified through human review based on the combination of information about location and actual scene images is characterised by a very low accuracy. In addition, human review is limited by working hours and the manpower needed, so it is not possible to guarantee the timeliness of.
The application’s implementation allows for verification of the information of entities to increase accuracy.
The present application implements an apparatus for verifying the information of an entity. This increases the accuracy of verifying entity data.
These technological solutions can be utilized to implement the current application.
Methods for verifying entity information include the sending of location information by a user to determine; determining, using the location information, whether the candidate entity’s the location relationship with an entity that meets predetermined conditions; verifying entity information based on a result of the user finding out information about the candidate entity that matches with the entity setunder predetermined verification conditions.
The apparatus for confirming entity information comprises one determining unit, a second determining unit and a verification device, where the first determining unit is designed to identify the location information contained in entity information sent bya user. The second determining unit is able to determine, using the information about location, an entity set whose location relationship with the entity satisfies an established condition, if the entity set that is being considered as a candidate does not contain the entity; The verification unit is set up to validate the information about the entity based on a result of determining, by the user, details about the candidate entity set that match the set of candidate entities under the predetermined verification conditions.
The at least one technical solution that is used in the implementations of the present application could have the following benefits: The candidate entity set which’s location relation to the entity meets the predetermined requirement, and does not contain the entity’s location based on the location information that is provided by the user. Verification is based on the outcome of determining by the user, the candidate entity information that corresponds to the candidate entity set, based on the predetermined verification requirement. The current technology faces a problem with verification accuracy. Since the authenticity of information about entities is determined subjectively by humans, the current solution does not rely on the entities. Instead, authenticity is determined objectively based on the knowledge of the user about the surrounding environment around the particular entity. This increases the accuracy of verification. The solution proposed here can cut down or even the need for human review and improves the speed of verification procedures.

What is a patent?
Granted by the government to protect an invention patents give the inventor with exclusive rights to use, create, sell and promote the invention? society gains when a new technology is brought into the marketplace. The benefits may be direct terms, as it can allow people to accomplish previously unattainable things. Or indirectly, due to the opportunities for economic growth (business growth and employment) that the innovation offers.
A lot of pharmaceutical firms and researchers from universities are seeking protection from patents in their research and developments. Patents can be granted to a physical or abstract process or product, or an approach or composition of materials new to the field. In order to be granted protection under a patent the invention has to be beneficial unique, innovative, and not obvious to other people in the same area.
Patents are awarded to inventors who have commercially successful inventions. They serve as a motivator for inventors to invent. Small-scale businesses and inventors can rest sure that they will earn a an excellent return on their investment in technology development. They could earn a decent income by their work.
Patents play a vital role in companies, and they can:
Make sure you protect your unique products and services
Enhance the value, visibility, and attractiveness of your product on the market
Make your company and your products stand out from the rest;
Get technical and business information.
Beware of the possibility of using third-party proprietary content, or losing your important information, creative outputs, or other creative output.
Patents convert knowledge of the inventor into a valuable asset which opens up new opportunities for employment creation through joint ventures and licensing.
Investors involved in the development and commercialization of technology will appreciate small businesses with patent protection to be more attractive.
Patenting can generate fresh ideas and innovative inventions. The information you create may be eligible for patent protection.
Patents can be used as an obstacle to unscrupulous third parties who profit from the invention’s success.
Revenues from patent-protected technology that are commercially successful can be used to finance technological research and development (R&D), which will improve the chances of developing better technology in the future.
You can leverage intellectual property ownership to convince lenders and investors that your product has real commercial potential. Sometimes, one patent can open the door to multiple financing opportunities. You can use patents and other IP assets as collateral or security to secure financing. Investors may also look at your patent assets to boost their valuation of your company.

Therefore, pre-filing disclosures (e.g. for test-marketing, investors, or other business partners) must only be done upon signing a confidentiality contract.
There are many kinds of patents. Understanding them is essential to protecting your invention. Utility patents cover new methods and inventions made by machines. Design patents cover ornamental designs. Patents for utility are the best option and shield the owner from copycats and other competitors. In most cases the utility patent is issued for alterations or improvements to existing inventions. Patents issued under utility can be used to improve or alter existing inventions. A process patent will cover the acts or methods to perform a specific action. A chemical composition will include an amalgamation of components.
What is the average length of a patent? Utility patents last 20 years after the earliest filing date, but their expirations can be extended due to delays at the patent office such as.

Are you interested in similar patents? Here are the steps to follow:
1. Think of terms that describe your invention in relation to its intended, composition, or use.
Write down a brief detailed explanation of your invention. Avoid using generic terms like “device,” “process,” and “system.” Instead, consider synonyms to the terms you initially chose. Then, note crucial technical terms and keywords.
To help you find terms and keywords, you can use the following questions.
- What is the objective of this invention? Is it a utilitarian device or an ornamental design?
- Does the invention consist of a method of creating something or performing an action? Are you referring to a product?
- What is the composition and function of the invention? What is the physical makeup of the invention?
- What’s the point of the invention?
- What are technical terms and phrases that define the essence of an invention? To find the right terms, refer to a technical dictionary.
2. Use these terms to search for pertinent Cooperative Patent Classifications for your invention at the Classification Text Search Tool. If you are unable to find the right classification for your invention, scan through the classification’s class Schemas (class schedules). You may want to consider substituting the terms you’re using for describing your invention, if you fail to receive any results from your Classification Text Search with synonyms such as the terms you used in the first step.
3. Examine 3. Go over the CPC Classification Definition to verify the relevancy of the CPC classification that you have discovered. The link to a CPC classification definition will be available if the chosen classification title has a blue box that includes “D” to its left. CPC classification definitions can assist you in determining the classification’s boundaries so that you can pick the one that is the most relevant. They may also provide search tips or other suggestions that could be helpful for further study.
4. Retrieve patent documents with the CPC classification from the Patents Full-Text and Image Database. You can look through and find the relevant patent documents by focusing first on the abstract and representative drawings.
5. Utilize this selection of most relevant patent publications to study each in depth to find similarities to your own invention. Be sure to read the claims and specifications. Refer to the applicant and patent examiner to obtain additional patents.
6. You can retrieve the patent application that has been published and meet the CPC classification you chose in Step 3. It is also possible to use the same search strategy that you used in Step 4 to narrow your search results to only the most relevant patents by reading the abstracts and drawings for every page. Next, carefully examine the published patent applications and pay particular attention to the claims and the additional drawings.
7. Find additional US patents using keywords searching in PatFT or AppFT databases, classification searching of non-U.S. patents per below, and searching non-patent patent disclosures in the literature of inventions using web search engines. Here are some examples:
- Add keywords to your search. Keyword searches may turn up documents that are not well-categorized or have missed classifications during Step 2. For example, US patent examiners often supplement their classification searches with keyword searches. Think about the use of technical engineering terminology rather than everyday words.
- Search for foreign patents using the CPC classification. Then, re-run the search using international patent office search engines such as Espacenet, the European Patent Office’s worldwide patent publication database of over 130 million patent publications. Other national databases include:
- European Patent Office (EPO) provides esp@cenet to access a network of Europe’s patent databases with access to machine translation of European patents.
- Japan Patent Office (JPO) – with access to machine translations of Japanese patents.
- World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) offers PATENTSCOPE with a full-text search of published international patent applications and machine translations for some documents, as well as a list of international patent databases.
- Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service (KIPRIS)
- State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) with machine translation of Chinese patents.
- Other International Intellectual Property Offices with online patent databases include Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, India, Israel, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Taiwan.
- Search non-patent literature. Inventions can be made public in many non-patent publications. It is recommended that you search journals, books, websites, technical catalogs, conference proceedings, and other print and electronic publications.
To review your search, you can hire a registered patent attorney to assist. A preliminary search will help one better prepare to talk about their invention and other related inventions with a professional patent attorney. In addition, the attorney will not spend too much time or money on patenting basics.
