World's first
AI identity verification technology
By combining proprietary patented technology with AI facial recognition and blockchain technology,
ONLINE FACE® verifies user identity and prevents fraud automatically — with no manual work — even in online environments.
The ONLINE FACE® identity verification system holds international patents.
As a next-generation digital infrastructure supporting national qualifications and professional training, it has received numerous international awards in the global AI and technology fields.
What sets us apart! 
next-generation technology
① Enrollment of participants (Patent No. 7063508)
At enrollment, each participant registers a master photo for identity verification together with their details.
To ensure the photo really belongs to the applicant, it is automatically matched against an official photo ID.
We verify that the name, date of birth and facial photo on the uploaded ID match the registered information.
◎Driver's license, My Number card, passport, residence card and more

② Online lectures / exams (Patents No. 6797388 / 6837697 / 6887710 / 7773825)
Identity checks do not run on a fixed schedule: our proprietary algorithm runs them automatically in the background, multiple times at random intervals.
Verification may occur two or three times in one minute, or once in three minutes — the timing changes with every session.
Because participants never know when the next check will come, they maintain an appropriate level of attentiveness and take lectures seriously, even online.

(impersonation)
To prevent fraud, no "verification starting" notice is shown — checks run automatically without the participant noticing.
No device operation is required for each check, so learning is never interrupted and high-quality outcomes can be expected.
If a participant has left their seat, is impersonating someone, or is dozing off, a verification-error warning appears on their screen.
If re-verification fails within the time limit, the session is suspended, returned to the beginning of the lecture, or force-logged-out.
For online examinations, in addition to identity checks and anti-fraud measures on the exam device, the system links with the cameras of the examinee's other devices, such as a smartphone, eliminating blind spots and preventing cheating and impersonation even more rigorously.
It matches the rigor of in-person examinations while dramatically cutting costs by removing the need for proctors, enables candidates to sit exams from home anywhere in the country, and delivers the reliability required even for statutory national-qualification examinations.
*The camera verifies the examinee's hands, and AI automatically detects objects that could enable cheating, such as smartphones or textbooks.
Using the examinee's own devices as verification terminals also reduces the number of devices available for cheating.
01Unauthorized browsing
Prevents participants from opening unrelated pages such as YouTube or shopping sites in another window during a lecture.
02Simultaneous multi‑device login
Prevents the same person from logging in on several devices — PC, tablet, smartphone — and taking different lectures at the same time.
03Accelerated playback
The system records each participant's start time in the background and matches it against the end time to confirm the required viewing time was met.
04Misuse of facial photos
Hybrid verification combining our patented technology with AI deep learning prevents proxy attendance and unattended streaming using photos, or selfie images and videos displayed on a monitor.
05Phone use while distracted or walking
Beyond identity verification, ONLINE FACE uses AI to analyze the background of each verification capture, preventing inappropriate attendance while on the move.

③ Digital certificate issuance (Patent No. 7566359) Your own certificate formats can be registered!
When a course or examination is completed, participants can download a digital certificate of completion.
In addition to standard digital certificates, FACE BADGE® applies cutting-edge blockchain technology to firmly prevent forgery and tampering.
It can be used for digital certificates for national qualifications, courses, training and examinations run by public institutions, and many other credentials.
FACE BADGE® certificate authenticity check
Each digital certificate carries the master photo registered in ① and a QR code.
Authenticity can be checked by reading the QR code and the photo with any camera-equipped device (PC, smartphone or tablet).
