Description

Product authenticity identification method and product anti-counterfeit combination marker used in the method

Field:

The invention relates to a product authenticity identification method and a product anti-counterfeit combination marker used in the method.

Background technique:

Anti-counterfeiting labels must meet two conditions: one is that they cannot be counterfeited, and the other is that they cannot be recycled for secondary use.

The identification methods of anti-counterfeiting labels are: direct identification (no fee), equipment identification (one-time investment fee for equipment), communication identification (communication fee).

At present, the anti-counterfeiting labels of products mainly have the following methods:

1. Single-coded label: The code corresponds to a single product one by one. The label is pasted on the product. Before the product is sold, the code is covered by a scratch-off coating. After purchasing the product, the code can be seen by scraping off the coating. Check with the coding data stored by the manufacturer through communication methods (telephone, short message, Internet). If the two are completely corresponding, it means that the product is genuine; if it does not correspond, it means that the product is a counterfeit product. Since this type of code can be copied arbitrarily many times, this type of anti-counterfeiting label can be counterfeited, that is, counterfeit products can also be affixed with a coded label with the same content as the genuine product. At the same time, there is a query cost in this method. Therefore, single-coded tags are classified as: can be counterfeited, communication identification (with communication costs), (if not identified) can be recycled for secondary use.

2. Double-coded labels: One group is the anti-counterfeiting code of the product, which corresponds to the product one by one, and the other group is the banknote and the code on the banknote. The anti-counterfeiting code and the code on the banknote form a one-to-one correspondence. are added together to form a combined code. After purchasing the product, you can check it with the coding information stored by the manufacturer through communication methods (telephone, short message, Internet). If the two are completely corresponding, it means that the product is genuine; if it does not match, it means that the product is a counterfeit product. Since the banknotes and the codes on the banknotes cannot be copied, the anti-counterfeiting effect of this method is good. There is a query cost in this method. Therefore, the double-coded label is classified as: cannot be counterfeited, communication identification (with communication costs), (if no identification) can be recycled for secondary use.

3. For smart card labels, there are codes and product information stored in the card. Use a special reading device to read the codes and product information stored in the card. If necessary, the code stored in the card and the code data stored by the manufacturer can be authenticated. The safety performance of the label is good and cannot be counterfeited, but the label can be reused. Therefore, the smart card label is classified as: cannot be counterfeited, device identification (also communication identification), (if not identification) can be recycled for secondary use.

4. Two-dimensional code label, the code and product information are written on the label in the format of two-dimensional code, and the code and product information contained in the two-dimensional code label can be read with a special reading device. If necessary, the code can be shared with the manufacturer The stored coded data is used for data authentication, but the tags can be counterfeited and reused. Therefore, the two-dimensional code label is classified as: can be counterfeited, device identification (also communication identification), (if not identified) can be recycled for secondary use.

Fig. 1 is the above-mentioned two-dimensional code label, which records the data symbol information with a specific geometric figure distributed in black and white on a plane (two-dimensional direction) according to certain rules; Utilize the concepts of "0" and "1" bit streams that form the logical basis of the computer, use several geometric shapes corresponding to binary to represent text and numerical information, and automatically read through image input equipment or photoelectric scanning equipment to realize information Automatic processing, it has some common features of barcode technology: each code system has its specific character set; each character occupies a certain width; it has a certain verification function, etc. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of automatic identification of information in different rows, and processing of graphic rotation changes.

Existing two-dimensional codes can be divided into stacked or row two-dimensional codes and matrix two-dimensional codes. The stacked or row-type two-dimensional code is formed by stacking multiple rows of short-cut one-dimensional barcodes; while the matrix two-dimensional barcode is composed of a matrix, and "dots" are used to represent binary codes at the corresponding element positions of the matrix. "1", using "empty" to represent binary "0", consists of the arrangement of "dot" and "empty" to form a code. Among the dozens of two-dimensional barcodes currently used, the commonly used code systems are: PDF417 two-dimensional barcode, Datamatrix two-dimensional barcode, Maxicode two-dimensional barcode, QR Code, Code 49, Code 16K, Code one, etc., in addition to these common two-dimensional barcodes In addition to dimensional barcodes, there are Vericode barcodes, CP barcodes, Codablock F barcodes, Tianzi codes, Ultracode barcodes, Aztec barcodes, etc. Two-dimensional codes can express information in both horizontal and vertical orientations at the same time, so they can express a large amount of information in a small area. It also has: wide coding range; strong fault tolerance; high decoding reliability; encryption measures can be introduced; barcode symbol shape, size ratio can be changed; can be read by laser or CCD reader; low cost, easy to manufacture, durable Durable and other characteristics.

5. Labels that are difficult to be imitated: such as using special printing technology, special printing process, special display graphics, special display text, etc. Although this type of anti-counterfeiting label is more difficult to imitate, the manufacturing cost is relatively high, and the product that is pasted on the label also requires cost. Moreover, it is more difficult to identify the anti-counterfeiting mark. Therefore, the labels that are difficult to be counterfeited are classified into: difficult to counterfeit, direct identification (without any cost), but the production cost is relatively high, and can also be recycled for secondary use.

6. Disposable label: destroy the label when using the product. The label form can be "smart card", "QR code", "label that is difficult to be counterfeited", etc. Among them, the "smart card" one-time label is the most ideal, but the manufacturing process of destroying the "smart card" label is very difficult and costly. higher.

7. Combination labels for banknotes on smart cards: Patents have been applied for (200810219557.9), which cannot be counterfeited, and can be identified by equipment (also by communication). The disadvantage of this label is that the cost of the smart card itself is relatively high, and the cost can only be amortized gradually after multiple uses.

Invention content:

The object of the present invention is to provide a product authenticity identification method, which is convenient to use, good in anti-counterfeiting and low in application cost.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a product anti-counterfeiting combination marker with good anti-counterfeiting performance, easy identification and low application cost.

b. After the customer purchases the product, take out the anti-counterfeiting composition, use the data reading device to read the code information stored on the two-dimensional code object and compare it with the code on the banknote;

c. According to the comparison results, the products are classified as genuine products or counterfeit products.

As an improvement of the above technical solution, in the step a, the two-dimensional code product information can be written on the two-dimensional code object; in the step b, it also includes: reading and displaying the product information with a data reading device, and The product information is compared with the information in the product outer packaging.

The product anti-counterfeit identification method of the present invention has the following advantages: 1) simple and convenient operation, due to the use of data reading equipment, it is not necessary to use communication means to confirm the authenticity of the product, and there is no communication cost, and only the seller needs to understand the data reading equipment. One-time investment can save the cost of communication and inquiry for consumers; 2) Due to the high anti-counterfeiting and uniqueness of the banknotes, it can have a very good anti-counterfeiting effect; 3) The cost of two-dimensional code objects can be controlled, therefore, The cost of use is very low.

An anti-counterfeit combination marker for a product is characterized by comprising: banknotes with banknote codes; two-dimensional code objects storing two-dimensional code code information corresponding to the banknote codes one-to-one.

As an improvement of the above technical solution, the product information of the two-dimensional code is also stored on the two-dimensional code object, and the product information corresponds to the information in the outer packaging of the product.

The two-dimensional code code information and the two-dimensional code product information stored on the two-dimensional code object may be encrypted information.

The two-dimensional code code information and product information stored on the two-dimensional code object are displayed after being read by the data reading device.

The two-dimensional code code information stored in the two-dimensional code object can be connected with the database connected to the data reading device for data authentication.

Compared with the prior art, the product anti-counterfeiting combination marker of the present invention has the following advantages:

1. Due to the high anti-counterfeiting properties of banknotes and their codes, as well as the legal responsibilities required to imitate banknotes, the codes of banknotes in the present invention have uniqueness that cannot be copied;

2. Since the banknotes in the present invention can be used in circulation, it is difficult for counterfeiters to recycle them for counterfeiting anti-counterfeiting markers. Ordinary single-code anti-counterfeiting labels and two-dimensional code labels are easy to be counterfeited;

3. The present invention uses negotiable banknotes as the identification object, and the product purchaser can easily identify the authenticity of the identification object without special identification skills or special identification conditions, and is easy to use;

4. Since the cost of the two-dimensional code object is very low, the use cost of the present invention is very low;

5. The banknote two-dimensional code object combination object may not be pasted on the object that needs anti-counterfeiting, which further reduces the production cost.

6. Feasible management methods can be adopted to separate the two-dimensional code object and banknotes during sales, so that the combined anti-counterfeiting markers will become invalid, and the banknotes will be circulated in the hands of different consumers after being separated. Therefore, even if the two-dimensional code object is counterfeited, because the banknote enters the circulation state, it cannot be recycled and combined with the counterfeit two-dimensional code object again to form an anti-counterfeiting combination marker. Taking a step back, even banknotes are counterfeited, and anti-counterfeit banknotes are combined with counterfeit QR code objects to form an anti-counterfeiting combination marker. The reader can identify the authenticity of the anti-counterfeiting marker at the moment of touching the counterfeit banknotes, and then judge the authenticity of the product. Like this, the product anti-counterfeit combination marker of the present invention can be summarized as: can not be imitated, equipment identification, anti-counterfeit combination marker separates (label failure) when the product is sold, and the possibility of being recycled for secondary use is very low. Moreover, since the cost of the two-dimensional code object can be controlled, the use cost is very low.
