Description

The present invention relates to a code system for determining the authenticity of a product.

Some products such as imports may contain fake products. However, it is often indistinguishable whether it is a fake or not.

For example, in the case of wine, by mimicking a bottle design that includes a package of wine bottles, a normal consumer thinks that fake wine is genuine wine without notice when drinking. And imitating bottle designs including wine bottle packages is not difficult if you make full use of modern printing technology.

Based on such problems, a technique for determining the authenticity of a product has been desired.

Patent Literature 1 exists as a literature that can be related here.

JP2015-22314

Patent Document 1 is an authenticity determination system including a plurality of information terminals and a server, and the information terminal reads the digital watermark code marked on the object, and transmits the read code information to the server. The server receives and stores the code information transmitted from each of a plurality of information terminals, analyzes the code information, and as a result of the analysis, the code cannot be the original shipping route or exceeds the shipping amount. A warning list is created for abnormally detected codes, and the log management server is an authentication system that distributes the warning list to the information terminal.

However, the warning about the code that is detected abnormally often cannot determine which product is fake, and requires other functions or subsequent processing.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The relationship between the embodiment and the claims is as follows. The description of the first embodiment is mainly related to claims 1 to 4, the description of the second embodiment is related to claims 5 and 6, the description of the third embodiment is related to claims 7 and 8, and the description of the fourth embodiment is claim 9. And 10. The present invention should not be limited to these examples, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the scope of the present invention.

This embodiment is composed of a first code sheet and a second code sheet, and complete information extraction is impossible by itself, but complete information can be extracted by combining the two by aligning them. Provide a code system.

Hereinafter, the basic configuration and the manufacturing method of the code system in this embodiment will be described in order.

<Basic configuration>
The “first code sheet” in the present embodiment is a sheet on which a first partial code that cannot be completely extracted by itself is printed. Next, "second code sheet" means that complete information extraction is impossible by itself, and complete information can be extracted by combining with the first code by aligning with the first partial code sheet. This is a sheet on which the second partial code is printed.

“Complete information” here includes, for example, product name, manufacturer, purchaser, date of manufacture, date of shipment (export date), date of certification, expiry date, year of manufacture and season, specific manufacture Information such as numbers. It is important that such complete information cannot be confirmed by the first code sheet and the second code sheet alone even if they are part of the item. Further, these pieces of encoded information may be encrypted information.

The code here may be a bar code or a two-dimensional code, but is not limited thereto. However, since it is combined with the first code sheet to read complete information, both are assumed to be the same type of code.

FIG. 2 shows the code system of the present invention when the code is a two-dimensional code. In the above figure, it is assumed that the sheet on which the two-dimensional code is printed is cut into two, and there are a first code sheet (A) and a second code sheet (B). In the figure below, it is assumed that the sheet on which the two-dimensional code is printed is cut into three sheets. The first code sheet (A), the second code sheet 1 (B1), and the second code sheet 2 ( B2) is present.

Next, for example, (1) at least one of the base member of the first code sheet and the base member of the second code sheet is a transparent member, and the first code sheet and / or the second code sheet is used. The code sheet may be configured such that an alignment mark for overlapping the two is placed on the code sheet, and (2) the base member of the first code sheet and / or the second code. At least one part of the base member of the sheet has a missing part that is missing in a concave shape, and the second code sheet or / and the first code sheet has a fitting part that fits into the missing part, and the missing part The first code sheet and the second code sheet of the first code sheet and the second code sheet may be coupled to each other by fitting the fitting part to the fitting part.

In FIG. 3, the base member of the first code sheet is a transparent member, the base member of the second code sheet is an opaque member, and the first code sheet and the second code sheet are overlapped and joined together. It is a figure which shows an example of the barcode system in case the alignment mark of this is arrange | positioned. There is a transparent first code sheet (A) and an opaque second code sheet (B), and a bar code that enables complete information retrieval is achieved by overlaying them together with alignment marks. To do.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing variations of the alignment mark. There are three types of alignment marks: (1) cross shape, (2) square shape, and (3) round shape. In the case of a round shape, it is desirable that two or more alignment marks exist because only one alignment mark cannot determine the angle when two sheets are aligned. On the other hand, if it is other than a round alignment mark, the first code sheet and the second code sheet can be accurately aligned with one alignment mark.

In addition, the alignment mark is not limited to the method of fitting, but if it is a method of positioning by fitting with no gap, the purpose of alignment can be reliably achieved, so the method of fitting without gap Is desirable.

FIG. 5 shows that at least one part of the base member of the first code sheet and / or the base member of the second code sheet has a missing part that is missing in a concave shape, and the second code sheet is located at the missing part. It is a figure which shows an example of the barcode system in case it has a fitting part to fit. (1) The first code sheet has a triangular missing part, and the second code sheet has a fitting part that fits into the missing part. (2) The first code sheet has a rectangular missing part, and the second code sheet has a fitting part that fits into the missing part. Further, the fitting part for fitting into the missing part does not need to be due to the shape matching of the unevenness, and may be a fitting part for filling the missing part of both the first code sheet and the second code sheet. . For example, (3) the first coated sheet and the second code sheet have a triangular missing part, and this is filled with the deepest missing part of both missing parts to fill the missing part. May be.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for outputting code information from the first code sheet and the second code sheet. First code sheet acquisition step (S0601), second code sheet acquisition step (S0602), first / second code sheet alignment step (S0603), confirmation of alignment (S0604), in alignment state It consists of a code reading step (S0605), a code information output step (S0606), and confirmation of whether or not to end (S0607). The first code acquisition step and the second code acquisition step here may be reversed in order.

The first code sheet is obtained in the first code sheet obtaining step, and the second code sheet is obtained in the second code sheet obtaining step. Then, in the first and second code sheet alignment step, the first code sheet and the second code sheet are aligned, and it is confirmed whether they are aligned. The first and second code sheet alignment steps are repeated until alignment is possible. When the alignment is completed, the code is read in the code reading step in the alignment state, and the code information is output in the code information output step. Then, it is confirmed whether or not all the processes are finished. If it is good, the process is finished. If the process is started from the beginning, the process is repeated from the first code sheet obtaining step.

<Manufacturing method>
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a method for manufacturing the first code sheet and the second code sheet in the barcode system of the present invention. Information such as “Wine Chateau Marloch”, “Ship from France Wine Association”, “Ship Date 2020.6.15”, etc. is input to the barcode generator, and it is output to the barcode label printer and output from the printer. The bar code is cut, and the first code sheet and the second code sheet are manufactured by cutting the bar code. For example, one is tied to a product such as wine, and the other is tied to a slip or a cover letter.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the barcode creating apparatus. The barcode creating apparatus includes a code information input unit (0801), a first partial code generation unit (0802), a second partial code generation unit (0803), a print information generation unit (0804), and a print information output unit (0805). . The code information input unit accepts input of code information, and based on the code information, the first partial code generation unit generates a first partial code, and the second partial code generation unit generates a second partial code. The print information generation unit generates print information from both the first partial code and the second partial code, and the print information output unit outputs the print information. The output of the print information may be output to a bar code label printer outside the bar code creating apparatus, or means printing if the bar code creating apparatus also has a printer function. Also good.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of a manufacturing method of the first code sheet and the second code sheet. A code information input step (S0901), a first partial code generation step (S0902), a second partial code generation step (S0903), a print information generation step (S0904), and a step of confirming whether to print (S0905) and a print step (S0906) And a code separation step (S0907) and a confirmation step (S0908) as to whether or not to end. Accepts code information input at the code information input step, generates a first partial code at the first partial code generation step based on the code information, and generates a second partial code at the second partial code generation step . Then, in the print information generation step, print information is generated from the information of both the first partial code and the second partial code, and it is confirmed whether or not to print. As a result, if printing is not performed, the print information generation step is repeated. If printing is performed, printing is performed according to the print information in the printing step. The printing here is printing on a sheet with a separation mark for separation. In the code separation step, the first code sheet and the second code are separated by separating the sheet along the separation mark. Divided into two sheets. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the production of the first code sheet and the second code sheet is finished, and if not finished, the process is repeated from the first process, and if finished, the whole process is finished. is there.

As described above, it is possible to provide a code system that can easily and quickly determine the authenticity of one product.

The present embodiment is a product or product packaging that is placed on an opening check seal that is known to have been opened when the first code or the second code is opened, and is sealed with the opening check seal.

The unsealing check seal is a seal configured so that it can be understood that it has been opened once, for example, the color changes when it is opened or it cannot be attached again.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a code affixed on the opening check seal. A code is affixed to (1) the lid portion of a wine bottle that is a product, or (2) the boundary between the base and lid of a wooden box that is a product package. Here, it is assumed that an unsealing check seal is affixed under this code sheet.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state when the code sheet is peeled off in the case where the code sheet is attached to the lid portion of the wine bottle which is (1) the product in FIG. 10. When the code sheet is peeled off, there is an unsealed check seal below it.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state when peeling is performed in the case where the code sheet is pasted on the unsealed part of the product packaging in FIG. 10. When the code sheet is peeled off, there is an unsealed check seal below it.

As described above, for example, a fake when the contents are exchanged after being opened can be specified.

The present embodiment is based on the second embodiment, and the unsealing check seal can read out complete information even if the first code or the second code is combined with the other second code or the first code by unsealing. It is a commodity or commodity packaging that is configured not to be.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a code sheet when the code sheet attached on the unsealing check seal of the present example is peeled off. (1) It functions as the first code sheet or the second code sheet when the code sheet is affixed to the unsealing check seal. (2) When the code sheet is peeled off, a part is removed. (3) Only a code sheet without a hole that does not function as the first code sheet or the second code sheet remains. As a result, even when combined with the other second code or the first code, complete information cannot be read out.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that complete information is read out by combining with the other second code or the first code without being peeled off from the unsealing check seal.

By these, for example, the fake when it is opened and the contents are exchanged can be further specified.

In this embodiment, a slip including all or part of the complete information of the code system described in Embodiment 1 and a first code sheet or a second code sheet for reading out the complete information are included. It is a product set.

In the case where a slip including a part of complete information is bundled, a method of packaging the remaining part of the complete information in the other second code sheet or the first code sheet is conceivable. It is also conceivable to send complete information to the terminal of the product purchaser via the Internet.

FIG. 14 is an example of a product set of this embodiment. In the wooden box, a cover letter, which is a slip that contains a part of the complete information, with wine as the product, the first code sheet, is enclosed. Then, the second code sheet is put in an envelope or the like and delivered by another route.

The “complete information” is preferably information that changes over time. Information that changes with time is information such as shipping date, date of manufacture, expiration date, date of certification, date of export, date of manufacture, season, date of manufacture, and quarter.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of information that changes over time. Shipment date “June 15, 2020”, production date “May 10, 2020”, expiration date “June 15, 2040”, certification date “March 1, 2020”, export year There are information such as the date “June 16, 2020”, the year of manufacture and season “Spring 2020”, and the year of manufacture and Quarter “2020 IQ”.

In the case of information that changes over time in this way, since one brand is different for each product, forgery becomes more difficult.
