Abstract

This disclosure describes SI Viewery, a service delivered as software on people's own phones and computers, as modules embedded in business systems, and later as wearable devices, that helps people check before they trust. It performs four linked functions. Verify checks a document, credential, seal, medal, message, caller, image, video or AI agent against signed proof, such as signed records, content-provenance signatures and agent accountability tokens, and gives one of a small set of honest answers: verified, with what was checked shown; or unverified, meaning no proof was found, never "fake" from guesswork. Warn recognises scam and impersonation patterns as they happen, such as urgent payment requests, changed bank details, a known person on a new number, pressure for secrecy, or possible hidden recording devices nearby, always worded as possible, with known error rates. Guide gives the next safe step after a check, such as calling back on a known number, in plain words and explicitly not as professional advice. Record keeps an owner-controlled log of what was checked, when and with what result, each entry hashed, so that the owner can later prove to a bank, insurer or court what they saw and did. The four functions are linked: an unverified result hands over to Warn and Guide; a warning offers a Verify path; every result can be recorded. Processing is on the device by default; nothing leaves it without the owner's permission; there is no always-on recording and no facial recognition of strangers; one action stops the service and another erases its data. Verified warnings, with all personal details removed, may be contributed by owners to a public gallery, so that everyone can learn from each confirmed scam pattern, and the gallery feeds updated patterns back to Warn. Individuals receive basic functions free; businesses pay for embedded modules, integration and records.
