In this example, the license authentication server 300 includes a processor 301, a storage unit 302 consisting of a volatile storage unit and a nonvolatile storage unit, a communication unit 303 having a communication function via the Internet 400, and a liquid crystal display panel or the like. It is a computer device having a display unit 304 and an operation unit 305 including operators such as a keyboard and a mouse. Various programs to be executed by the processor 301 are stored in the nonvolatile storage unit of the storage unit 302 .

In FIG. 1, within the block representing the client terminal 100, a reception unit 110, a generation unit 120, an output unit 130, an acquisition unit 140, and a processing unit 150 are shown. These are functions realized by processor 101 in FIG. 2 executing the program in storage unit 102 .

The receiving unit 110 is means for receiving input of various kinds of information. The accepting unit 110 first accepts input of a serial number as identification information indicating the license of the application software 100S. Note that the receiving unit 110 also receives input of information other than the identification information, which information will be described later.

The generating unit 120 generates authentication information for receiving authentication to use the application software 100S using the identification information received by the receiving unit 110 . The acquisition unit 140 is involved in generating this authentication information. That is, the acquisition unit 140 acquires unique information of the client terminal 100 from the user, for example, using the operation unit 105, and the generation unit 120 uses this unique information to generate authentication information from the identification information. The unique information is information unique to the client terminal 100, such as the MAC (Media Access Control) address, UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) of the client terminal 100, and a storage medium (eg, hard disk drive) in which the application software 100S is stored. ID (disc ID), etc. In this embodiment, the generator 120 generates a hash value H1, which is the first hash value, from this unique information. Next, the generator 120 generates a hash value H2 from the serial number, which is identification information, and the hash value H1. The generation unit 120 further generates authentication information by concatenating the hash values H1 and H2. The accepting unit 110 accepts specification of the hash length of the hash value H1 required for generating this authentication information.

The output unit 130 outputs authentication information. The reception unit 110 is involved in the process of outputting the authentication information by the output unit 130 . Specifically, the receiving unit 110 receives, in addition to the identification information described above, a selection as to whether the license authentication of the application software 100S is to be performed online or offline. When the accepting unit 110 accepts the selection of off-line license authentication, the output unit 130 outputs information (hereinafter referred to as “specific information”) that includes the authentication information and prompts the mobile terminal 200 to input the authentication information. ). At that time, the output unit 130 outputs the visualized authentication information. The visualized authentication information includes, for example, at least one of a character string and an image. Specifically, output unit 130 displays specific information including authentication information on display unit 104 .

The user inputs authentication information into the mobile terminal 200 based on this specific information. As a result, mobile terminal 200 sends an authentication request using the authentication information to license authentication server 300 via Internet 400 . The mobile terminal 200 receives the result information output from the license authentication server 300 as a response to this authentication request via the Internet 400 . This result information is information indicating the result of authentication processing in the license authentication server 300 . When the use of the application software 100S on the client terminal 100 is authenticated, the result information is information for enabling the use of the application software 100S by the client terminal 100. FIG.

The receiving unit 110 of the client terminal 100 uses the display unit 104 and the operating unit 105, for example, to receive the input of the result information. The processing unit 150 of the client terminal 100 performs processing to enable use of the application software 100S based on this result information. The processing that enables the use of the application software 100S includes, for example, recording of the license information in the storage unit 102, release of functional restrictions on the application software 100S, activation of the application software 100S, release of advertisement display in the application software 100S, and the like. is.

In FIG. 1, within the block representing the mobile terminal 200, a reception unit 210, a transmission unit 220, a reception unit 230, and an output unit 240 are shown. These functions are implemented by the processor 201 in FIG. 3 executing the program in the storage unit 202 .

The accepting unit 210 accepts input of authentication information output from the client terminal 100 as specific information, for example, using the touch panel 206 . The transmission unit 220 transmits an authentication request including this authentication information to the license authentication server 300 via the Internet 400 by the communication unit 203 . The receiving unit 230 receives the result information output from the license authentication server 300 as a response to the authentication request through the communication unit 203 via the Internet 400 . The output unit 240 outputs result information in the form of displaying on the display unit 204 of the touch panel 206, for example.

In FIG. 1 , a receiving section 310 , an authenticating section 320 , and a transmitting section 330 are shown in the block representing the license authentication server 300 . These are functions realized by the processor 301 in FIG. 4 executing the program in the storage unit 302 .

Receiving unit 310 receives an authentication request via Internet 400 . The authentication unit 320 performs license authentication based on the authentication information included in the authentication request. The transmission unit 330 transmits result information indicating the result of license authentication to the sender of the authentication request.

2. Operation FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram showing the operation of one embodiment of the license authentication system 1000. As shown in FIG. The user inputs the serial number as identification information in order to receive license authentication for use of the application software 100S. The receiving unit 110 of the client terminal 100 acquires the serial number input in this way (step S101).

Various modes are conceivable for accepting the input of the serial number. In this embodiment, the input is accepted using the display unit 104 and the operation unit 105 .

FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplifying a serial number input screen. In this embodiment, the receiving unit 110 displays the screen of FIG. 6 when receiving the input of the serial number. However, the example of FIG. 6 also illustrates the input serial number. On the first displayed screen, the serial number input field is blank. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the serial number input by the user is displayed on the display unit 104, and a soft button 104a including the character string "Authenticate on the Internet" and the character string "Authenticate offline" are displayed below it. Include soft button 104b is displayed.

Here, “authentication via the Internet” refers to normal license authentication executed by the client terminal 100 communicating with the license authentication server 300 via the Internet 400 . On the other hand, “offline authentication” is license authentication unique to this embodiment performed without connecting the client terminal 100 to the license authentication server 300 . The user can select the desired license authentication by touching soft button 104a or 104b. The sequence diagram of FIG. 5 shows the operation when the user selects "offline authentication".

In FIG. 5, when the input of the serial number (step S101) is completed, in the client terminal 100, the generation unit 120 generates an authentication information character string indicating authentication information from the serial number, which is identification information (step S102).

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing authentication information generation processing in step S102. In the client terminal 100, first, the acquiring unit 140 acquires unique information of the client terminal 100 (step S1021). Various modes are conceivable for obtaining the unique information. For example, the user may input the unique information by operating the operation unit 105 .

Next, in the client terminal 100, the generator 120 generates the hash value H1 from the unique information (step S1022). Here, hash value H1 is an example of a first hash value having a predetermined hash length. The hash length of the first hash value is set in advance by the administrator of the license authentication system 1000 according to, for example, the number of client terminals that can be used with a single serial number. Alternatively, the hash length may be specified in advance by the user via input to the accepting unit 110 . Note that the hash length may be limited based on unique information. For example, the unique information is managed in association with the serial number. It is sufficient that the uniqueness of the unique information is ensured in the state (combination) associated with the serial number, so even if the unique information has a large amount of information, it is not always necessary to use a large hash value. For example, for a serial number issued based on a license agreement that permits use on 100 client terminals, it is sufficient to use a hash length that ensures the uniqueness of 100 pieces of unique information. Next, the generating unit 120 generates a hash value H2 from the serial number and hash value H1 obtained in step S101 (step S1023). Next, the generation unit 120 concatenates the hash values H1 and H2 to generate a character string C3 representing authentication information (step S1024).

In FIG. 5, when the authentication information character string (that is, the character string C3) is generated (step S102), in the client terminal 100, the output unit 130 causes the display unit 104 to display the authentication information character string (character string C3). (Step S103).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display example of the display unit 8 in step S103. As shown in FIG. 8, the serial number input by the user is displayed on the display unit 8, and the authentication information character string generated from this serial number is displayed as the specific information. Here, since the authentication information character string is information to be input to the mobile terminal 200, in the present embodiment, the authentication information character string is displayed in a color that is more conspicuous than the serial number. The user is prompted to input to the mobile terminal 200 .

In FIG. 5, when the authentication information character string is displayed (step S103), the user inputs the authentication information to the mobile terminal 200 based on this display. In the portable terminal 200, the receiving unit 210 receives the input of this authentication information (step S201). The input of this authentication information is accepted by the touch panel 206 .

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an input screen on the mobile terminal 200. As shown in FIG. When the input of the authentication information is accepted in the mobile terminal 200, as shown in FIG. 9, together with the accepted authentication information, a soft button 204a including the character string "authenticate" and a soft button 204a including the character string "cancel" are displayed. 204 b is displayed on the display unit 204 . When the user touches the soft button 204a, the transmission unit 220 of the portable terminal 200 transmits an authentication request to the license authentication server 300 via the Internet 400 (step S202). This authentication request includes the authentication information whose input is received by the receiving unit 210 . On the other hand, when the user touches the soft button 204b, the transmission unit 220 does not transmit the authentication request.

In FIG. 5, when an authentication request is transmitted from the mobile terminal 200, the receiver 310 of the license authentication server 300 receives this authentication request (step S301). Next, in the license authentication server 300, the authentication section 320 extracts authentication information from this authentication request (step S302).

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing this authentication information extraction process. First, the authentication unit 320 divides the authentication information character string C3 included in the authentication request into a hash value H1 and a hash value H2 (step S3021).

Next, the authentication unit 320 generates a hash value H2' from the serial number and hash value H1 held (step S3022). More specifically, as described above, the client terminal 100 generates the hash value H2 from the serial number and the hash value H1. It is unknown to the authentication unit 320 whether the user has been authenticated. On the other hand, the license authentication server 300 holds serial numbers for all users who have signed license agreements, or can access a database that records correspondence between serial numbers and users. Therefore, the authentication unit 320 generates a hash value H2' from the serial number and the hash value H1 extracted from the authentication information character string C3 for all of the serial numbers held. Then, the authentication unit 320 identifies the hash value H2' generated in this way that matches the hash value H2 included in the authentication information character string C3 (step S3023). Next, the authentication unit 320 identifies the serial number used to generate the identified hash value H2' (step S3024). The authentication unit 320 then identifies the hash value and the identified serial number as authentication information (step S3025).

Next, in FIG. 5, based on the authentication information extracted in step S302, the authentication unit 320 determines whether license authentication should be performed for the user of the client terminal 100 that generated the authentication information (step S303). . If the determination result is "YES", the authentication unit 320 registers the authentication information extracted in step S302 in the storage area related to the license authentication authorized person set in the storage unit 302 (step S303). Next, the authentication unit 320 generates result information indicating that the authentication has passed and a valid license (step S305).

FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing the processing contents of this result information generation processing. As shown in FIG. 11, authentication unit 320 extracts hash value H1 (an example of a second hash value having the same hash length as the first hash value) extracted from authentication information character string C3 in the authentication request, and A hash value H4 is generated from the specified serial number and the authentication result including information indicating a valid license (step S3051). This hash value H4 is the result information.

On the other hand, if the determination result in step S303 of FIG. 5 is "NO", the authentication unit 320 generates result information indicating that the authentication result is unacceptable (step S306). In this result information generation process, the hash value H4 is generated by basically the same process as in step S305 (step S3051). Generate.

When the process of step S305 or S306 is completed, in the license authentication server 300, the transmission section 330 transmits the result information generated by the authentication section 320 to the portable terminal 200 via the Internet 400 (step S307).

In the portable terminal 200, the receiving section 230 receives this result information (step S211). Next, in the mobile terminal 200, the output unit 240 outputs the result information (step S212). Specifically, output unit 240 displays authentication information and result information on display unit 204 .

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a display screen for authentication information and result information. Here, the authentication information is the authentication information accepted by the accepting unit 210 and transmitted to the license authentication server 300 by the transmitting unit 220 for offline authentication (see FIG. 9). Also, the result information is the result information received in step S211. The user inputs the result information displayed on the display unit 204 to the client terminal 100 . Since the result information is information to be input to the client terminal 100, in the present embodiment, the result information is input to the client terminal 100 by displaying the result information in a color that is more conspicuous than the authentication information. encourage

In FIG. 5, when the result information is displayed (step S212), the user inputs the result information to the portable terminal 200 based on this display. In the client terminal 100, the receiving unit 110 receives the input of this result information and takes in the result information (step S111).

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a display screen of the display unit 104 of the client terminal 100 when the result information is taken. As shown in FIG. 13, the display unit 104 displays the serial number received in step S101, the authentication information generated from this serial number and displayed in step S103, and the result information input by the user in step S111. is displayed. Under these displays, a soft button 104c including a character string "Import Authentication Result" and a soft button 104d including a character string "Cancel" are displayed. When the user touches the soft button 104c, the reception unit 110 takes in the result information input by the user. On the other hand, when the user touches the soft button 104d, the reception unit 110 does not load the result information.

When the receiving unit 110 acquires the result information, the processing unit 150 of the client terminal 100 performs result information extraction processing (step S112).

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing this result information extraction process. The processing unit 150 acquires unique information of the client terminal 100 (step S1121). Next, the processing unit 150 generates a hash value H1' from the unique information (step S1122). Next, the processing unit 150 calculates a hash value for each of the serial numbers accepted for license authentication within a certain period of time in the past (serial numbers accepted in step S101) using the hash value H1′, the serial number, and the authentication result. H4' is generated (step S1123). Next, the processing unit 150 identifies a hash value H4' that matches the hash value H4, which is the result information, from among the hash values H4' generated in step S1123 (step S1124). Next, the processing unit 150 determines to apply the authentication result to the serial number used to generate the identified hash value H4' (step S1125).

When the result information extraction process (step S112) ends in this way, the processing unit 150 determines whether or not the authentication result indicates that the authentication has been passed (step S113). If the determination result is "YES", the processing unit 150 saves the information indicating the valid license included in the result information in the storage unit 102, and enables the use of the application software 100S (step S114). On the other hand, if the determination result of step S113 is "NO", the processing unit 150 displays on the display unit 104 information indicating that the authentication has failed.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the user of the client terminal 100 can receive license authentication for the application software 100S without connecting the client terminal 100 to the Internet 400. FIG. Further, according to the present embodiment, the user of the client terminal 100 can select the desired license authentication from the license authentication using the Internet and the offline license authentication. Appropriate license authentication can be obtained accordingly. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the client terminal 100 outputs the authentication information including the hash value generated from the identification information, the number of digits of the identification information required to guarantee the uniqueness of the authentication information is reduced. be able to.
