  However, in the configurations described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, in order to prevent unauthorized acquisition of authentication information, authentication information is printed on the inside of the package or a sticker is attached to the package in manufacturing the product. Such work is necessary.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides an authentication information issuance system and an authentication information issuance method capable of suppressing unauthorized acquisition of authentication information without increasing the work in manufacturing a product. Objective.

  An authentication information issuing system according to an aspect of the present invention is an authentication information issuing system that issues authentication information for providing a predetermined service. This authentication information issuance system includes a determination unit that determines whether or not a one-time operation has been performed on a package of a target product that is a product for which authentication information is issued, and that a one-time operation has been performed. An authentication information issuing unit that issues authentication information in response to the determination made by the determining unit, and a display unit that displays the authentication information issued by the authentication information issuing unit.

  According to this authentication information issuing system, the authentication information is issued in response to the determination that the one-time operation has been performed on the package of the target product, and the issued authentication information is displayed. Since the one-time operation for the package of the target product is an irreversible operation that cannot return the package to the state before the operation was performed, it is performed after purchasing the product, and authentication information for the purchase of the target product Is issued only once. Since the one-time operation for the package of the target product can be performed using a general-purpose package, it is not necessary to prepare a special package for issuing authentication information. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress that authentication information is acquired illegally, without increasing the operation | work in manufacture of goods.

  The authentication information issuing system according to still another aspect of the present invention may further include image acquisition means for acquiring a captured image. The determination unit may determine whether or not a one-time operation has been performed on the package based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit. The determination of whether or not a predetermined operation has been performed is more accurate using an image than using sound or the like. For this reason, it is possible to improve the determination accuracy of the one-time operation by determining the one-time operation using the image.

  The determination means includes an image including an image of the package before the one-time operation is performed, an image including an image of the one-time operation for the package, and an image including the image of the package after the one-time operation is performed. It may be determined that the one-time operation has been performed in response to being acquired by the image acquisition means in this order. In this case, it is determined that the one-time operation has been performed using not only the one-time operation but also the images of the package before and after the one-time operation is performed. As described above, since a plurality of determination points are used, it is possible to further improve the determination accuracy of the one-time action.

  The determination unit further determines whether or not an image including an image of the package after the one-time operation is acquired by the image acquisition unit, and the display unit is the package after the one-time operation is performed. The authentication information issued by the authentication information issuing means may be displayed when it is determined by the determining means that an image including the image is acquired by the image acquiring means. In this case, the issued authentication information can be displayed by capturing an image including an image of the package after the one-time operation is performed.

  The display means may display the authentication information issued by the authentication information issuing means superimposed on the image of the package in the image including the image of the package after the one-time operation acquired by the image acquisition means is performed. Good. By displaying the authentication information superimposed on the package, it is possible to make the user appear as if the authentication information is printed on the package.

  The authentication information issuing system according to still another aspect of the present invention may further include an authentication information managing unit that manages an expiration date of the authentication information issued by the authentication information issuing unit. The display means may display the authentication information from the time when the authentication information is issued until the expiration date of the authentication information. In this case, since the authentication information is displayed for a predetermined time after the authentication information is issued, the user can be prompted to receive the service.

  An authentication information issuing system according to still another aspect of the present invention includes an authentication information acquisition unit that acquires input authentication information, and the validity of the authentication information acquired by the authentication information acquisition unit is managed by the authentication information management unit. A validity confirmation means for confirming based on the validity period provided, and a provision means for providing a predetermined service when the validity confirmation means confirms that the authentication information acquired by the authentication information acquisition means is valid. And may be further provided. In this case, since the service is provided only when the authentication information is used before the expiration date, the service can be provided for a limited time. As a result, the user can be prompted to receive the service.

  The one-time operation may be a package opening operation. In this case, authentication information is issued in response to determining that the package of the target product has been opened, and the issued authentication information is displayed. The opening operation of the package is an irreversible action performed after the purchase of the product, and can be performed using a general-purpose package. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a special package for issuing authentication information. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress that authentication information is acquired illegally, without increasing the operation | work in manufacture of goods.

  By the way, the present invention can be described as an invention of an authentication information issuing system as described above, and can also be described as an invention of an authentication information issuing method as follows.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same reference numerals are used for the same or equivalent elements, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of an authentication information issuing system according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the authentication information issuing system 1 includes one or more terminal devices 10 and a server device 20. The authentication information issuing system 1 is a system for issuing authentication information for providing a predetermined service to a user who purchased a target product that is a product for which authentication information is to be issued. The authentication information is unique (unique) information. In this embodiment, a passcode is used as authentication information. The passcode may be any information as long as it is uniquely identifiable information such as a sequence of numbers, “picture”, or “character”. The target product is a product that the user can purchase. Examples of the target product include food items such as confectionery.

  The terminal device 10 is a device that is used by a user and can acquire an image. The terminal device 10 is, for example, a mobile phone such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a notebook PC (Personal Computer), or the like. The server device 20 is an authentication information issuing device that issues authentication information (passcode) to the terminal device 10. The server device 20 is constituted by an information processing device, for example. The server device 20 is communicably connected to the user information DB 30 and the passcode DB 40. The user information DB 30 is a database that holds information about users of the terminal devices 10. The passcode DB 40 is a database for managing passcodes issued by the server device 20. Hereinafter, the user information DB 30 and the pass code DB 40 will be described as being included in the server device 20, but the user information DB 30 and the pass code DB 40 may be devices different from the server device 20, respectively.

  Note that the terminal device 10 and the server device 20 are connected to be communicable with each other via a network NW. The network NW may be configured by either wired or wireless, for example, a network such as a mobile communication network, the Internet, a wired WAN (Wide Area Network), a wireless WAN, a wired LAN (Local Area Network), or a wireless LAN. It is.

  Next, a functional configuration of the authentication information issuing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the authentication information issuing system 1. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the terminal device 10 functionally includes an image acquisition unit 11, an image storage unit 12, an image storage unit 13, a determination unit 14, a display unit 15, and a passcode acquisition unit. 16. The terminal device 10 is configured by hardware shown in FIG.

  FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of the terminal device 10. As shown in FIG. 3, the terminal device 10 physically includes one or more CPUs (Central Processing Units) 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 and a ROM (Read Only Memory) 103 that are main storage devices, Hardware such as a communication module 104 that is a data transmission / reception device, an auxiliary storage device 105 such as a semiconductor memory, an input device 106 that accepts user input such as a touch panel, a display device 107 such as a display, and an imaging device 108 such as a digital camera It is comprised as a computer provided with. Each function of the terminal device 10 in FIG. 2 is obtained by reading one or a plurality of predetermined computer software on the hardware such as the CPU 101 and the RAM 102, thereby controlling the communication module 104, the input device 106, and the display This is realized by operating the device 107 and the imaging device 108 and reading and writing data in the RAM 102 and the auxiliary storage device 105.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the functional configuration of the terminal device 10 will be described in detail. The image acquisition unit 11 functions as an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image. For example, the image acquisition unit 11 acquires a moving image. The image acquisition unit 11 outputs the acquired image to the image storage unit 12.

  The image storage unit 12 functions as an image storage unit that stores the image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11. The image storage unit 12 outputs the stored image to the determination unit 14 and the display unit 15.

  The image storage unit 13 functions as an image storage unit that stores an image for determining the one-time action in the determination unit 14. The image storage unit 13 stores, for example, an image of an unopened package of the target product, an image of an opened package of the target product, and a moving image of an opening operation for the package of the target product. For example, a front image is stored as an image of the unopened package of the target product and an image of the unopened package of the target product. When the package is broken and opened, the shape of the part to be broken and peeled may be stored as a feature point of the opened package. The package of the target product is a member for providing the target product. As the package of the target product, a box, a bag, a container, and packaging can be used.

  The determination unit 14 functions as a determination unit that performs a one-time action determination and a passcode display determination. The one-time action determination is a determination as to whether or not a one-time action has been performed on the package of the target product. This one-time operation is an irreversible operation that cannot be returned to the state before the operation is performed. As the one-time operation, for example, an opening operation of the package of the target product can be cited. The passcode display determination is a determination for causing the display unit 15 to display the passcode issued by the server device 20.

  For example, the determination unit 14 performs a one-time operation determination by executing a dedicated application for the target product and setting the authentication mode. For example, the determination unit 14 determines whether a one-time operation has been performed on the package of the target product based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11. If the determination unit 14 determines that the one-time operation has been performed, the determination unit 14 transmits a passcode issue request to the server device 20 together with a terminal ID (IDentification) that can identify the terminal device 10.

  The one-time action determination is performed by, for example, composite determination. More specifically, the determination unit 14 includes an image including an image of the package of the target product before the one-time operation is performed, an image including an image of the one-time operation with respect to the package of the target product, and a one-time property. It is determined that the one-time operation has been performed in response to the acquisition by the image acquisition unit 11 in the order of the image including the image of the package of the target product after the operation has been performed. For example, the determination unit 14 adds an unopened package image Pn of the target product as shown in FIG. 4A to the series of moving images acquired by the image acquisition unit 11, and FIG. When it is determined that the image Pm of the operation for opening the package of the target product as shown, and the image Po of the package of the target product as shown in FIG. It is determined that a one-time operation has been performed on the package of the target product.

  For example, the determination unit 14 captures a still image from a series of moving images stored in the image storage unit 12, an image of the unopened package of the target product stored in the image storage unit 13, and the captured still image Compare the image and calculate the similarity. The similarity is calculated using a plurality of points (feature points) in the image. Since the method for calculating the similarity is publicly known, detailed description thereof is omitted. For example, when the similarity exceeds a predetermined value, the determination unit 14 includes an image of the unopened package of the target product in the captured still image, that is, the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11. When the similarity is equal to or less than a predetermined value, it is determined that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 does not include an image of the unopened package of the target product.

  The determination unit 14 includes a series of moving images used for determining whether or not an image of the unopened package of the target product is included, and after the time when it is determined that the unopened package of the target product is included. Using the moving image, it is determined whether or not an image of the opening operation of the package of the target product is included. For example, the determination unit 14 compares a plurality of feature points in the moving image with a plurality of feature points of the moving image of the opening operation stored in the image storage unit 13 to calculate the similarity of the operation. For example, when the similarity exceeds a predetermined value, the determination unit 14 determines that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of the opening operation of the package of the target product. When the similarity is equal to or less than a predetermined value, it is determined that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 does not include the image of the opening operation of the package of the target product.

  For example, the determination unit 14 determines that the opening operation of the package of the target product is included in the series of moving images used in determining whether the image of the opening operation of the package of the target product is included. Capture still images from moving images after the time. The determination unit 14 compares the image of the unsealed package of the target product stored in the image storage unit 13 with the captured still image, and calculates the similarity. For example, when the similarity exceeds a predetermined value, the determination unit 14 includes a captured still image, that is, a moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 that includes an image of an unsealed package of the target product. When the similarity is equal to or lower than a predetermined value, it is determined that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 does not include an image of the package of the target product that has been opened.

  For example, the determination unit 14 performs a passcode display determination by executing a dedicated application for the target product and setting the display mode. The determination unit 14 determines whether or not an image including an image of the package after the one-time operation is acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 as the passcode display determination. The image to be determined includes not only an image including a one-time action image but also an image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 thereafter. If the determination unit 14 determines that the image including the package image of the target product after the one-time operation has been acquired by the image acquisition unit 11, the determination unit 14 transmits a passcode display request together with the terminal ID to the server device 20. To do.

  For example, the determination unit 14 determines whether the package of the target product after the one-time operation is performed depending on whether the image of the opened package of the target product is included in the image stored in the image storage unit 12. It is determined whether an image including an image has been acquired by the image acquisition unit 11. The determination unit 14 captures a still image from the moving image stored in the image storage unit 12 in the same manner as the image determination of the unopened package of the target product, and the target product stored in the image storage unit 13. The image of the package that has been opened is compared with the captured still image, and the similarity is calculated. For example, when the similarity exceeds a predetermined value, the determination unit 14 determines that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of a package that has been opened for the target product, When the similarity is equal to or less than a predetermined value, it is determined that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 does not include an image of the package that has been opened for the target product. In the passcode display determination, it is not necessary to determine the identity between the unsealed package of the target product and the package used for the one-time operation determination.

  In each determination process in the determination unit 14, the position and orientation of the package are detected by recognizing a predetermined portion in the package of the target product. In the comparison of still images, the captured still image is corrected by the position and orientation of the package. In the operation comparison, angle determination from a fixed point is performed. For example, for an operation from left to right, depending on a fixed point, there is a case where the operation is on the image and from the top to the bottom. In this way, a composite determination such as determination based on the feature points of the package before and after opening and determination based on the direction of the user's movement is performed.

  The display unit 15 functions as a display unit that displays a passcode issued by a passcode issuing unit 21 described later. The display unit 15 displays the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11, that is, the moving image stored in the image storage unit 12. The display unit 15 is issued by the passcode issuing unit 21 when the determination unit 14 determines that an image including the image of the package after the one-time operation has been acquired by the image acquisition unit 11. Display the passcode.

  For example, the display unit 15 displays the passcode issued by the passcode issuing unit 21 in AR (Augmented Reality). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5A, the display unit 15 is issued by the passcode issuing unit 21 in the image including the image Po of the opened package acquired by the image acquisition unit 11. The passcode image C is displayed so as to be superimposed on the opened package image Po. Each time the image acquisition unit 11 acquires an image including the image Po of the unsealed package of the target product during the passcode validity period from when the passcode is issued until the expiration date of the passcode, the display unit 15 Display passcode.

  The display unit 15 does not display the passcode after the expiration date of the passcode has passed even if the image acquisition unit 11 acquires an image including the image Po of the unsealed package of the target product. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, the display unit 15 displays the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 without displaying a passcode. The display unit 15 may display a warning indicating that the passcode has expired after the expiration date of the passcode has elapsed.

  The display unit 15 further displays information related to a predetermined service transmitted from the server device 20. Information regarding the predetermined service includes content, coupons, information indicating that the right to use the game has been acquired, information indicating that entry into the campaign has been performed, and the like.

  The passcode acquisition unit 16 functions as an authentication information acquisition unit that acquires a passcode input by the user. The passcode acquisition unit 16 acquires the passcode input by the user using the input device 106, for example, in a dedicated application or web page for inputting the passcode. The passcode is input by directly entering the passcode in a passcode input box or the like displayed on the display unit 15 or by touching the passcode displayed on the display unit 15 by the user. . The passcode acquisition unit 16 transmits the acquired passcode to the server device 20.

  Next, the functional configuration of the server device 20 will be described. Functionally, the server device 20 includes a passcode issuing unit 21, a passcode management unit 22, a validity checking unit 23, and a providing unit 24. The server device 20 is configured by hardware shown in FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a hardware configuration diagram of the server device 20. As shown in FIG. 6, the server device 20 physically includes one or more CPUs 201, a RAM 202 and a ROM 203 that are main storage devices, a communication module 204 that is a data transmission / reception device, an auxiliary storage device 205 such as a hard disk, In addition, it is configured as a computer including hardware such as a timer device 206 such as a timer. Each function of the server device 20 in FIG. 2 includes the communication module 204 and the control module 201 under the control of the CPU 201 by loading one or more predetermined computer software on the hardware such as the CPU 201 and the RAM 202 shown in FIG. This is realized by operating the timing device 206 and reading and writing data in the RAM 202 and the auxiliary storage device 205.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the functional configuration of the server device 20 will be described in detail. The passcode issuing unit 21 functions as an authentication information issuing unit that issues a passcode for receiving service provision when the determination unit 14 determines that a one-time operation has been performed. That is, the passcode issuing unit 21 issues a passcode in response to receiving the terminal ID and the passcode issue request from the terminal device 10, and the issued passcode and the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the passcode issue request. The terminal ID is output to the passcode management unit 22. The passcode issuing unit 21 transmits the issued passcode to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the passcode issue request. The transmission of the pass code may be performed by e-mail or the like.

  The passcode issuing unit 21 instructs the validity checking unit 23 to check the validity of the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 in response to receiving the terminal ID and the passcode display request from the terminal device 10. When the validity checking unit 23 confirms that the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is valid, the passcode issuing unit 21 retransmits the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 to the terminal device 10. When the validity check unit 23 confirms that the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is invalid, the passcode issuing unit 21 displays information indicating that the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is invalid. 10 to send.

  The passcode management unit 22 functions as an authentication information management unit that manages the expiration date of the passcode issued by the passcode issuing unit 21. When the passcode management unit 22 receives the terminal ID and the passcode from the passcode issuing unit 21, the passcode is issued along with the received terminal ID and the passcode, and time information indicating the passcode issuance time and the validity indicating the validity of the passcode. Information is stored in the passcode management table. The passcode is valid from the time when the passcode is issued until the expiration date of the passcode, and expires when the expiration date of the passcode elapses. The passcode expiration date is a time obtained by adding a preset time to the passcode issuance time.

  The passcode management unit 22 measures the elapsed time from the passcode issue time for the passcode issued by the passcode issue unit 21, and determines whether or not the passcode expiration date has passed. The validity information indicates that the passcode is valid when the passcode has not expired, and the passcode is invalid when the passcode has expired ( It has expired).

  The validity confirmation unit 23 functions as a validity confirmation unit that confirms the validity of the passcode based on the expiration date managed by the passcode management unit 22. In response to receiving an instruction from the passcode issuing unit 21 to check the validity of the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 by the passcode issuing unit 21, the validity confirmation unit 23 has a passcode that the passcode management unit 22 has. The validity of the passcode is confirmed based on the code management table. The validity checking unit 23 notifies the passcode issuing unit 21 whether the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is valid or invalid.

  The validity confirmation unit 23 confirms the validity of the received passcode based on the passcode management table of the passcode management unit 22 in response to receiving the passcode from the passcode acquisition unit 16. The validity confirmation unit 23 notifies the providing unit 24 whether the passcode received from the passcode acquisition unit 16 is valid or invalid.

  The providing unit 24 functions as a providing unit that provides a predetermined service when the validity confirming unit 23 confirms that the passcode transmitted by the passcode acquiring unit 16 is valid. Examples of the predetermined service include content provision, game usage right provision, coupon provision, campaign entry, and the like. For example, when providing content as a predetermined service, the providing unit 24 transmits the content to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted a valid passcode. The providing unit 24 confirms that the passcode is invalid to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the passcode when the validity confirmation unit 23 confirms that the passcode transmitted by the passcode acquisition unit 16 is invalid. Information to indicate is sent.

  Next, an authentication information issuing process of the authentication information issuing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the authentication information issuing process executed by the authentication information issuing system 1. The series of processing illustrated in FIG. 7 is started, for example, by executing a dedicated application for the target product in the terminal device 10 and setting the authentication mode. In this example, an unsealing operation is used as a one-time operation.

  First, imaging of a series of operations is performed using the imaging device 108. The image acquisition unit 11 acquires the captured moving image (step S01), and stores the acquired moving image in the image storage unit 12. Then, the determination unit 14 determines whether or not the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of the unopened package of the target product (step S02; determination step).

  If it is determined in step S02 that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of an unopened package of the target product (step S02; Yes), the determination unit 14 determines that the image acquisition unit 11 It is determined whether or not the moving image acquired in step S03 includes an image of the opening operation of the target product package (step S03; determination step). In step S03, when it is determined that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of the opening operation of the package of the target product (step S03; Yes), the determination unit 14 includes the image acquisition unit 11. It is determined whether or not the moving image acquired in step S4 includes an image of the package of the target product that has been opened (step S04; determination step).

  In step S04, when it is determined that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of the package of the target product that has been opened (step S04; Yes), the determination unit 14 determines whether the target product package is a package. Is determined to have been opened, and a passcode issuance request is transmitted to the server device 20 together with the terminal ID of the terminal device 10. The passcode issuing unit 21 issues a passcode in response to receiving the terminal ID and the passcode issue request from the terminal device 10, and the issued passcode and the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the passcode issue request. The terminal ID is output to the passcode management unit 22 (step S05; authentication information issuing step). Then, the passcode issuing unit 21 transmits the issued passcode to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the passcode issuance request, and the series of authentication information issuance processing ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S02 that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 does not include an image of the unopened package of the target product (step S02; No), in step S03, the image acquisition unit 11, when it is determined that the image of the opening operation of the package of the target product is not included in the moving image acquired in Step 11 (Step S03; No), and in Step S04, the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 When it is determined that the image of the package of the target product that has been opened is not included (step S04; No), the determination unit 14 determines that the opening operation has not been performed on the package of the target product. Then, the determination unit 14 displays on the display unit 15 that the passcode issuance is not possible without transmitting the passcode issuance request to the server device 20 (step S06), and the series of authentication information issuance processing ends. To do.

  As described above, a series of moving images acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 are shown in the unopened package image Pn of the target product as shown in FIG. 4A and shown in FIG. 4B. When it is determined that the image Pm of the operation of opening the package of the target product, and the image Po of the package of the target product as shown in FIG. It is determined that the opening operation has been performed on the product package. As described above, the determination as to whether or not the opening operation has been performed on the package of the target product is performed by the composite determination.

  Note that the determination unit 14 may further determine the opening operation using an opening sound or the like, for example. In step S05 and step S06, the determination unit 14 transmits the determination result together with the terminal ID of the terminal device 10 to the server device 20, and the passcode issuing unit 21 determines whether the passcode is issued or cannot be issued based on the determination result. You may judge.

  Next, an authentication information display process of the authentication information issuing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the authentication information display process executed by the authentication information issuing system 1. The series of processes shown in FIG. 8 is started when, for example, a dedicated application for the target product is executed in the terminal device 10 and set to the display mode. Thereafter, the series of processing shown in FIG. 8 is repeatedly started at a predetermined time interval during the operation in the display mode.

  In this example, an unsealing operation is used as a one-time operation. In addition, during the operation in the display mode, imaging by the imaging device 108 is always performed. At this time, the image acquisition unit 11 acquires a moving image captured by the imaging device 108, transmits the acquired moving image to the display unit 15 via the image storage unit 12, and the display unit 15 receives the received moving image. Is displayed.

  First, the determination unit 14 determines whether or not the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of an unsealed package of the target product (step S11). This determination is performed, for example, in the same manner as step S04 in FIG. If it is determined in step S11 that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 includes an image of the package of the target product that has been opened (step S11; Yes), a passcode display request is sent to the server together with the terminal ID. Transmit to device 20.

  Subsequently, the passcode issuing unit 21 causes the validity checking unit 23 to check the validity of the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 in response to receiving the terminal ID and the passcode display request from the terminal device 10. Instruct. Then, the validity confirmation unit 23 is based on the passcode management table of the passcode management unit 22 in response to receiving an instruction from the passcode issuing unit 21 to confirm the validity of the passcode issued to the terminal device 10. Then, the validity of the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is determined (step S12). In step S <b> 12, the passcode management unit 22 notifies the passcode issuing unit 21 whether the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is valid or invalid.

  If it is determined in step S12 that the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is valid (step S12; Yes), the passcode issuing unit 21 transmits the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 to the terminal device 10. . Then, the display unit 15 displays the passcode received from the server device 20, for example, overlaid on the image of the package that has been opened (step S13; display step), and a series of authentication information display processing ends.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S11 that the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 does not include an image of the package of the target product that has been opened (step S11; No), and in step S12, the terminal When it is determined that the passcode issued to the apparatus 10 is invalid (step S12; No), the display unit 15 displays the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 without displaying the passcode. (Step S14), a series of processing of the authentication information display processing ends.

  As described above, each time an image including an image of an unsealed package of a target product is acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 during the validity period from when the passcode is issued until the expiration date of the passcode, the passcode is displayed. Is done. In the determination in step S11, the package may be any package that has been opened for the target product, and may not be the same as the package used for the determination for issuing the passcode.

  Next, a service providing process of the authentication information issuing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of service providing processing executed by the authentication information issuing system 1. The series of processing illustrated in FIG. 9 is started, for example, when a dedicated application for inputting a passcode is executed in the terminal device 10 or a web page for inputting a passcode is displayed. The

  First, the passcode acquisition unit 16 determines whether or not a passcode has been input via the input device 106 (step S21). If it is determined in step S21 that no passcode has been input (step S21; No), the determination in step S21 is performed again. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S21 that a passcode has been input (step S21; Yes), the passcode acquisition unit 16 acquires the input passcode and transmits the acquired passcode to the server device 20. .

  Subsequently, the validity confirmation unit 23 determines whether the received passcode is valid or invalid based on the passcode management table of the passcode management unit 22 in response to receiving the passcode from the passcode acquisition unit 16. (Step S22). If it is determined in step S22 that the passcode is valid (step S22; Yes), the validity confirmation unit 23 receives the passcode received from the passcode acquisition unit 16 and confirms that the passcode is valid. The providing unit 24 is notified (step S23). Then, when the validity confirmation unit 23 is notified that the passcode is valid, the providing unit 24 transmits predetermined content or the like to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the valid passcode, for example. And the display part 15 displays the content etc. which were received from the provision part 24 (step S24), and a series of processes of a service provision process are complete | finished.

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S22 that the passcode is invalid (step S22; No), the validity confirmation unit 23 rejects the passcode received from the passcode acquisition unit 16, and the passcode is invalid. This is notified to the providing unit 24 (step S25). Then, when the providing unit 24 is notified by the validity checking unit 23 that the passcode is invalid, the providing unit 24 transmits information indicating that the passcode is invalid to the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the passcode. . And the display part 15 displays that a passcode is invalid based on the information received from the provision part 24 (step S26), and a series of processes of a service provision process are complete | finished.

  Next, a series of operations in the authentication information issuing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a series of operations in the authentication information issuing system 1. In this example, an opening operation is used as a one-time operation.

  First, in the terminal device 10, for example, a dedicated application for the target product is executed, and the authentication mode is set. Then, based on the captured image, it is determined whether or not the opening operation for the package of the target product has been performed (step S101; determination step). When it is determined that the opening operation has been performed, a passcode issuance request is transmitted from the terminal device 10 to the server device 20 together with the terminal ID of the terminal device 10 (step S102).

  Subsequently, in the server device 20, the pass code is issued in response to the terminal ID and the pass code issue request received from the terminal device 10, and the terminal of the terminal device 10 that has transmitted the pass code and the pass code issue request. The ID, the passcode issuance time, and information indicating the validity of the passcode are managed in association with each other. Then, the issued passcode is transmitted from the server device 20 to the terminal device 10 that transmitted the passcode issue request (step S103; authentication information issuing step).

  Subsequently, in the terminal device 10, the passcode received from the server device 20 is superimposed and displayed on the image of the opened package, for example. After that, when the passcode is input to the dedicated application or web page for inputting the passcode by the user of the terminal device 10 within the valid period of the passcode, the input passcode is transferred from the terminal device 10. It is transmitted to the server device 20 (step S104).

  Subsequently, the server device 20 determines the validity of the passcode received from the terminal device 10 (step S105). Since it is within the validity period of the passcode, the passcode is accepted, and predetermined content or the like is transmitted from the server device 20 to the terminal device 10 (step S106). And in the terminal device 10, the content etc. which were received from the server apparatus 20 are displayed, and are browsed by the user (step S107).

  On the other hand, when the passcode is entered by a user of the terminal device 10 into a dedicated application for inputting the passcode or a web page after the expiration date of the passcode, the input passcode is transferred from the terminal device 10. It is transmitted to the server device 20 (step S108).

  Subsequently, the server device 20 determines the validity of the passcode received from the terminal device 10 (step S109). Since it is after the expiration date of the passcode, the passcode is rejected and information indicating that the passcode is invalid is transmitted from the server device 20 to the terminal device 10 (step S110). Then, the terminal device 10 displays invalidity of the passcode or invalidity of the passcode based on the information received from the server device 20, making it impossible to browse the content or the like (step S111).

  As described above, in the authentication information issuing system 1, a pass code is issued with a single-time operation (one-time action) such as an opening operation performed as a trigger for a package. This passcode is given an expiration date, and the imaging device 108 is held over the package after the one-time operation is performed within the effective period from the issuance of the passcode to the expiration date. The package after the operation is performed is imaged by the imaging device 108, so that a pass code is displayed. When the expiration date of the passcode elapses, the passcode is not displayed, and the passcode is not displayed until the one-time operation is performed again on the package before the one-time operation is performed. In addition, while the passcode is valid, a predetermined service is provided by entering the passcode. However, if the passcode expires, an error occurs even if the passcode is entered.

  Next, the effect of the authentication information issuing system 1 and the authentication information issuing method performed by the authentication information issuing system 1 will be described. In the authentication information issuance system 1 and the authentication information issuance method performed by the authentication information issuance system 1, when it is determined that a one-time operation (for example, a package opening operation) has been performed on the package of the target product The pass code is issued and the issued pass code is displayed. The one-time action for the package of the target product is an irreversible action that cannot return the package to the state before the action was performed, so it is performed after purchasing the product, and the passcode for the purchase of the target product Is issued only once. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a passcode from being acquired without purchasing a product and a passcode from being issued many times using the same package. That is, the passcode temporaryity (single time) is ensured. Since the one-time operation for the package of the target product can be performed using a general-purpose package, it is not necessary to prepare a special package for issuing a passcode. For this reason, it becomes possible to suppress that a passcode is acquired illegally, without increasing the operation | work in manufacture of goods.

  In addition, since the one-time action is determined using the image, it is possible to improve the determination accuracy of the one-time action. Furthermore, the one-time operation is performed by determining whether not only the image of the one-time operation but also the images of the package before and after the one-time operation are included in the captured moving image. It is determined that As described above, since a plurality of determination points are used, it is possible to further improve the determination accuracy of the one-time action.

  In addition, the issued passcode is obtained by capturing an image including the image of the package after the one-time operation is performed within the validity period from when the passcode is issued until the expiration date of the passcode. Is displayed. The service is provided only when the passcode is used within the valid period. For this reason, the user can be prompted to receive the service.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration of an authentication information issuing system according to the second embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the authentication information issuing system 1A is different from the authentication information issuing system 1 in that the terminal device 10A and the server device 20A are provided instead of the terminal device 10 and the server device 20. . The terminal device 10 </ b> A is different from the terminal device 10 in that it does not include the image storage unit 12, the image storage unit 13, and the determination unit 14, and further includes an image transmission unit 17. The server device 20 </ b> A is different from the server device 20 in that it further includes an image storage unit 25, an image storage unit 26, and a determination unit 27.

  The image transmission unit 17 functions as an image transmission unit that transmits the image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 to the server device 20. The image transmission unit 17 also outputs the image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 to the display unit 15.

  The image storage unit 25, the image storage unit 26, and the determination unit 27 correspond to the image storage unit 12, the image storage unit 13, and the determination unit 14 of the authentication information issuing system 1, respectively. Since the processing of the image storage unit 25, the image storage unit 26, and the determination unit 27 is the same as the processing of the image storage unit 12, the image storage unit 13, and the determination unit 14, the description thereof is omitted.

  Also by the above authentication information issuing system 1A, the effect similar to the authentication information issuing system 1 mentioned above is show | played. Further, the authentication information issuance system 1A can process data having a larger amount of information than the authentication information issuance system 1 because the server device 20A includes the determination unit 27. For this reason, according to the authentication information issuing system 1A, it is possible to carry out a more detailed image determination than the authentication information issuing system 1.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above. For example, the one-time operation determined by the determination unit 14 is not limited to the opening operation. The one-time operation may be an irreversible operation that cannot return to the state before the operation is performed. The one-time operation may be, for example, making a crease in a portion where there is no fold in the package of the target product, cutting a part of the package unrelated to opening, igniting the package, or the like.

  Moreover, although the determination part 14 uses the composite determination which determines the state before and behind a one-time operation | movement as a one-time operation determination, you may determine only a one-time operation. Further, in addition to the composite determination, the determination unit 14 may determine whether or not a one-time action has been performed with sound. The determination unit 14 may determine, for example, whether or not a one-time action has been performed by storing a sound generated when the package of the target product is opened and comparing the sound with the sound. . That is, the determination unit 14 may perform one determination that can determine whether or not a one-time action has been performed, and may perform a combination of two or more as appropriate in order to improve determination accuracy. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the passcode issuing unit 21 uses the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 when the passcode issued to the terminal device 10 is confirmed by the validity checking unit 23 to be valid. However, instead of retransmitting the passcode, information indicating whether the passcode is valid or invalid may be transmitted to the terminal device 10. In this case, in the terminal device 10, when the passcode issued by the passcode issuing unit 21 is stored and information indicating that the passcode is valid is received from the passcode issuing unit 21, the display unit 15 May display the passcode, and when receiving information indicating that the passcode is invalid from the passcode issuing unit 21, the display unit 15 may not display the passcode.

  In addition, the display unit 15 may display the imaging start timing with a digital marker or the like so that the user can capture a moving image related to the one-time operation of the package of the target product. In this case, unnecessary portions before and after the one-time operation included in the moving image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11 can be reduced, and the determination efficiency by the determination unit 14 can be improved.

  In the above embodiment, when the dedicated application is executed and the authentication mode is set, the determination unit 14 performs the one-time action determination, and the display mode is set, so that the determination unit 14 Although code display determination is performed, it is not limited to this. For example, the determination unit 14 may first perform a one-time operation determination and automatically perform a passcode display determination after the passcode is issued.
