Identification phases
Public and private phases

Private Phase
SIM as identifier and unique/unambiguous identification/recognition system of the User/Owner
|
|
Starting from the Differentiated Navigation™, technology we created, developed and promoted since the 90s which is based on the concept of the distinction between adult and minor at the time of the initial connection moment (service initiation request ), Childkey Differentiated SIM solution is based on the same concept: it's necessary to distinguish between Contractual Customer and User/Owner Customer of the SIM card and, within this set, to differentiate adults from minors.
It's required to formalise a procedure to first distinguish Contractual Customer from User/Owner Customer and then to associate the Childkey Number if the User/Owner Customer is a minor.
Here it comes the name Differentiated SIM.
The identification of the minor occurs when the User/Owner of the SIM card associated with a telephone number is under the legal age.
It's from the dinstinction between Contractual Customer and User/Owner Customer that it becomes possible to identify a minor and therefore to activate protections: contents protection (services suitable for minors) and legal protection (civil and penal responsabilities for those who send unsuitable contents to minors)

Public Phase
Make public that the User/Owner Customer is Minor
|
|
When you define a customer as a Minor during the Private Phase, it's now possible to make public this information. You can assign a number - Childkey Number - (suffix, prefix, internal/inner number, automatic voice replier, warning SMS or a combination of these solutions) which immediatly identify the Customer as Minor, so that everyone who is calling that number knows which category (adult or minor) the Customer belongs to.
Here is a preventive action which grants minor protection through penal responsabilities.
This phase is extremely important and allows third parties (callers and telecommunication companies) to become aware of the category the Customer belongs to: it's unequivocally well known if he/she is a minor.

How to make public that the User/Owner is Minor
There are different ways to make the category (adult or minor) public. These can act separately or, to increase efficiency, in combination.
|
||
2.1
|
Minor identification prefix (Simcard Childkey)
To make public that the User/Owner Customer is a Minor, our solution requires telecommunication companies to sell/release/give sim cards or telephonic equipments which have been associated with a "special" prefix - Childkey Number™. This univocally identifies the Minor.
For example, if the number was 35:
Adult +39 341 234 56 78
Minor +39 35 341 234 56 78
Thanks to this solution you'll have both upstream (telecommunication and companies) and downstream (third users) consequences: telecommunication companies will be oblied to offer tailor made and suitable services for minors, while third users, who want to connect with a minor provided with Childkey SimCard™, will be immediately aware, and therefore responsible, for what they want to forward (files, pics, SMS and so on) to the Minor.

|
2.2
|
Minor identification suffix (simcard Childkey)
The same result can be obtained postponing the Childkey Number™ so that this new suffix is publicly recognised as a Minor identifier.
For example, if the number was 35:
Adult +39 341 234 56 78
Minor +39 341 234 56 78 35
|
|
2.3
|
Minor identification internal/inner number
Suffix technic can be used even for inner/ internal/ local numbers, once the Childkey Number for inner/ internal/ local numbers, i.e. the Minor identifier number, has been made public.
For example, if the number was 350:
Adult + 39 030 555 444 33
Minor + 39 030 555 444 33 350
This solution is best indicated when considering the vertical growth of VOIP (Voice Over IP)telecommunications which allow users to have a sofware which manage all the ongoing VOIP connections so that it can be used as a telephone switchboard. This can operate everytime ingoing calls are directed to a Minor automatically warning the caller about the minor age of the person he/she is asking for. This warning provides all the third parties to know which category the User/Owner Customer belongs to, so that the caller is automatically charged with legal responsabilities. These have no recoil on normal user, i.e. people who have a legally accepted behaviour towards the Minor.
|
|
2.4
|
Automatic replier or warning SMS
This can operate everytime ingoing calls are directed to a Minor automatically warning (with vocal replier or SMS) the caller about the minor age of the person he/she is asking for. This warning provides all the third parties to know which category the User/Owner Customer belongs to, so that the caller is automatically charged with legal responsabilities. These have no recoil on normal user, i.e. people who have a legally accepted behaviour towards the Minor.
This procedure is required especially in case of international calls which could be locally regulated by different identification procedures so that the caller could be unaware of the minor number - Childkey Number. The automatc replier (vocal or SMS) will answer using the language which corrispond to the international prefix of the call.

A combination of these solutions

|
Caller identification
|
|
The solution requires the caller to be always identifiable. It means that the caller's number/ id caller is always known. In this way it's possible to strongly discourage whoever has bad intention towards Minors, while it doesn't affect the normal user.

The combination of these 3 solutions sets legal responsabilities on people who can't declare to be ignorant about the age tag (minor or adult) of the User/Owner Customer
