4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of an authentication / transaction system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 illustrates that various steps included in the method of operating the authentication / transaction system of the present invention are performed in a time series manner, but the order of execution of the various steps may be changed substantially.

First, a business operator operating the authentication / transaction server 100 of FIG. 1 generates identification means to be attached to articles and provides the identification means to the article manufacturer (S11). The manufacturer attaches each identification means to the article, And sells the article to which the means is attached (S12). The operator operating the authentication / transaction server creates a classification system for the article according to the request of the manufacturer and assigns one identification number and corresponding identification means for each article.

As the article to which the identification means is attached is sold, the purchaser who has purchased the article is registered as an owner in the authentication / transaction server (S13). As the owner information is registered, the authorization request authority for the article is basically given only to the owner. If an activation request for the article is issued from the owner, the authentication / transaction server receives the authentication request, and if the user who is requested to authenticate is determined to be a legitimate owner, the authentication / transaction server performs the authentication process (S14). The authentication processing result is provided to the smartphone of the user.

Thereafter, when it is necessary to resell the article to a third party, it is necessary to give the third party who intends to purchase the article the authority to activate the article. Accordingly, an authentication authority renewal request is generated from the user, and the authentication / transaction server receives the authentication authority renewal request (S15), and refers to the information about the third party received along with the renewal request, (S16). Accordingly, the third party to which the authentication authority is registered can confirm the result of activation of the article using the reading device installed in the smart phone of the third party.

5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of an authentication / transaction system according to another embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 shows an example of an operation in which an authentication / transaction server automatically processes a transaction for resale of an article, and the order of operations of the various steps shown in FIG. 5 is not limited to the order shown, and various changes are possible.

As shown in FIG. 5, a transaction request for resale of the article from the owner of the article is received by the authentication / transaction server (S21). The authentication / transaction server further receives various kinds of information related to the resale of the commodity besides the transaction request (various information such as the selling price of the commodity, the term of sale, the usage history, etc.).

In addition to the request for sales of the goods, the authentication / transaction server stores purchase information of buyers for purchasing predetermined goods in a database, and matches sales information received with the purchase request to pre-stored purchase information. According to the matching result, the sales information of the article may be provided to the purchasers who have provided at least some items that match or similar similar purchase information (S22).

On the other hand, upon receipt of the resale request of the article, the ownership of the article is escrowed (S23). For example, the owner of the article can be temporarily changed to a company operating the authentication / transaction server and registered. In addition, a transaction response requesting purchase of an article from one or more purchasers providing sales information of the article is received (S24).

The transaction can be processed immediately upon receipt of a transaction response requesting the purchase of the article, or the final owner can request a final approval process for transferring ownership to the original owner of the article. In this case, the authentication / transaction server determines whether the owner has approved the ownership transfer (S25). If the owner has not approved the transfer, the authentication / transaction server waits for the receipt of the transaction response without completing the transaction.

As shown in FIG. 6, the owner can request the special item to be processed in the case where the owner has lost his or her own item. The authentication / transaction server receives a request for registration of a lost article of a predetermined article from a terminal such as a smart phone of the user (S31). The authentication / transaction server searches information of articles stored in the database, (S32).

On the other hand, information on the article to be traded may be received together with the transaction request for the lost article (S33).

For example, it is determined whether an approval response is received from the final owner (S37). If the approval response is not received, the transaction is not accepted due to rejection of the transaction request for lost property (S38).

On the other hand, it is judged whether or not the approval response is received from the ultimate owner and information for approving the transaction is received from the ultimate owner (S39), and when the information for rejecting the transaction approval is received, the transaction is not fulfilled according to the above- ). On the other hand, when information for approving the transaction is received from the ultimate owner, transaction processing and ownership transfer processing are performed on the article (S40).
