Patent overview
– Patent number: Patent No. 7535899 (P7535899)
– Title of invention: Test system, server and test method
– Registration date: August 8, 2024 (August 8, 2024)
Background of patent acquisition
Since the coronavirus pandemic, online exams have become popular, but due to lack of oversight, morale against cheating has declined, and the risk of cheating has become more and more real. Under such circumstances, with the rapid development and spread of generative AI such as ChatGPT and tutor matching services, it is now possible for anyone to easily derive highly accurate answers.
Conventional anti-fraud functions such as “desktop monitoring”, “restriction on movement to other windows or tabs”, “gaze monitoring”, and “prohibition of copy-pasting” are not sufficient to prevent fraud, especially in high-stakes cases (where something very important is at stake). It has been said that it is difficult to take online tests.
This patented technology strongly deters and prevents cheating by using two cameras to constantly monitor areas such as “behind the PC screen” and “at the examinee’s hands” that cannot be monitored with just a PC camera. , takes the reliability of online exams to a new level and enables many high-stakes exams to be moved online.
Certify uses this technology in its “Smart Entrance Exam,” a platform that enables in-house exams to be taken at home or in the office using “Remote Web Tests,” as well as online exams for other organizations.
