5 is a diagram for explaining a method of operating a user terminal device in an authenticity authentication processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, a method for operating a user terminal device for authenticating the authenticity of the present invention may first perform tag application activation in response to an input event in step S101. For example, the terminal display unit 340 may output an icon or a menu item for activating the tag application 353. Alternatively, the terminal input unit 320 may perform key button mapping for activating the tag application 353. The terminal control unit 360 can determine that the input event for activating the tag application 353 is received when the above-described icon, menu item, or key button selection is performed. Alternatively, when power is supplied to the user terminal device 300, the terminal control unit 360 may control to activate the tag application 353 by default.

When the tag application 353 is activated, the terminal control unit 360 can confirm whether tag information collection is performed in step S103. In order to collect tag information, the terminal control unit 360 can perform the tag information output operation for the tag reader 330 and the tagging operation. If there is no tag information collection in step S103, the terminal control unit 360 may branch back to step S101 and re-execute the following process while maintaining the tag application 353 active state. Or the terminal control unit 360 may control the execution of a specific user function according to the user input control. For example, the terminal control unit 360 may support a function corresponding to a generated event such as a specific file playback function, a broadcast receiving function, a camera function, or the like, depending on whether or not the user terminal 300 is supported.

If the tag information collection occurs in step S103, the terminal control unit 360 can perform the tag UID and the additional information check in step S105. To this end, the terminal control unit 360 can extract tag UID and additional information from the tag information. As described above, the terminal control unit 360 can control to perform additional information reading when it acquires the tag UID in advance and determines that the tag UID is valid after the comparison with the tag identification information 351. Upon reading the additional information, the terminal control unit 360 can control to read the additional information stored at a specific location in the tag storage area. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 360 may control to read additional information at the time of tag UID acquisition.

The terminal control unit 360 can confirm whether the tag UID and the additional information extracted in step S107 are valid. For this purpose, the terminal control unit 360 can operate the tag identification information 351 stored in the terminal storage unit 350. If the additional information is encrypted information, the terminal control unit 360 can decode the additional information using the specific decryption module. The decoded additional information can be compared with the additional information previously stored in the tag identification information 351 to determine the validity. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 360 may determine whether additional information is valid depending on whether additional information exists in a specific memory area of the tag 510. [

If the tag UID and the additional information are valid values in step S107, the terminal control unit 360 performs a primary genuine product decision on the product 500 in which the tag UID and the additional information exist, and in step S109, To the server device (200).

On the other hand, if the tag UID and the additional information are invalid in step S107, the terminal control unit 360 can control the output of the product information in step S113. For example, when the tag UID and the additional information read from the tag 510 are different from the information pre-stored in the tag identification information 351, the terminal control unit 360 may determine that the product 500 is available. Alternatively, the terminal control unit 360 may determine the genuine first confirmation for the product 500 according to whether the additional information exists in the specific memory area of the tag 510. [ For example, the terminal control unit 360 may perform a product determination for a product 500 having only a tag UID.

Next, the terminal control unit 360 can check if a function termination related event has occurred in step S115. If there is no event related to the function termination at this stage, the terminal control unit 360 may branch to the step before step S101 and control to perform the following process again. Alternatively, if a function termination related event occurs, the terminal control unit 360 may terminate the tag information checking function and control the transition to the predefined terminal state. For example, the terminal control unit 360 may control the transition to the activation state of the first tag application 353, the transition to the specific user function execution state, or the transition to the idle screen.

As described above, the user terminal device operating method of the present invention can perform the genuine product decision on the product 500 primarily based on the presence or absence of the tag UID, the additional information, or the predefined additional information. In addition, when the user terminal device operation method is determined as a good product, the product guide is immediately outputted, thereby eliminating the server operation for confirming the genuine product so that the genuine product can be judged through the simplification procedure.
