Akamedia Japan Co., Ltd. (Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Mairu Kikuchi) is pleased to announce that it has obtained a patent for “FACE BADGE®,” a digital certificate within our next-generation e-learning system “ONLINE FACE®” that prevents forgery and tampering and allows for authenticity verification.
This patented technology robustly prevents the forgery and tampering that can be a concern when digitally issuing certificates for courses, training, and examinations conducted by national qualification bodies and public registration institutions, and also enables authenticity verification of certificates.
The “FACE BADGE®” digital certificate includes the trainee’s master identity-verification photo, registered at the time of application, along with a QR code.
Authenticity can be verified by using a camera-equipped digital device (such as a smartphone, PC, or tablet) to scan the QR code and the master photo.
(*The master photo registered at the time of course application is automatically matched against the trainee’s photo, successfully authenticated during the course or examination, stored on a separate server.)

■ About ONLINE FACE
ONLINE FACE is an e-learning system that, through the world’s first proprietary, patented AI technology, automatically performs identity verification and fraud prevention in an online environment.
By meeting standards set by various government ministries and agencies, it has been widely adopted for statutory training and examinations related to national qualifications, as well as for the DX and online conversion of site-entrant education, safety training, and in-house training at factories, construction sites, and other locations.
It also eliminates the need to arrange a venue each time, secure instructors’ time, and account for trainees’ travel time as in the past, making it a tool that reduces costs while comprehensively improving productivity.
