Description

Private key based counterfeit detection system, method and program

The present invention relates to a counterfeit detection system, method and program.

As fake or counterfeit goods damage both consumers and producers (manufacturers), local governments in recent years strongly crack down on illegal distribution of counterfeit goods in the high-end luxury brand market. There is a limit to blocking distribution.

In addition, since it is difficult for consumers to identify fake goods with the development of counterfeit technology, recently, manufacturers have developed and provided anti-counterfeiting devices or genuine identification devices that can determine whether a product is genuine by incorporating various scientific technologies. have.

However, even if such an anti-counterfeiting system, there is a problem that a consumer who understands it does not easily understand how to determine the forged goods, or requires a separate device or an expensive system for separate identification.

In addition, many cases of making and distributing counterfeit goods (for example, overseas foodstuffs, cosmetics, etc.) of not only expensive luxury goods but also well-known goods have occurred.

The present invention is to provide a counterfeit detection system, method and program for detecting counterfeits when counterfeit distributors distribute counterfeits by establishing the same procedure as the activation process.

In addition, the present invention is to provide a counterfeit product detection system, method and program for preventing the detection of the generation rule of the genuine product activation code is attached to the counterfeit product genuine certification code.

Problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other problems not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

Private key-based counterfeit detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention, when receiving a specific activation code confirmation request, the private key issuing step of generating a private key issued by the activation server to the client; Simultaneously or sequentially receiving activation codes for one or more items, matching the activation key with a private key corresponding to the client that sent the activation code; And an article list providing step of generating an article list matching the private key and providing the same to the private key to the client, wherein the private key checks a specific client and an activation code within the activation server. Key data that is given to a particular client to form a matching relationship between the items for which the request was received.

The private key issuing step may include: receiving, by the activation server, an activation code obtained from a client; Transmitting, by the activation server, a request for providing a private key to a client; When the client holds a private key, receiving, by the activation server, private key data from the client; Receiving, by the activation server, private key issuing request data from the client when the client does not have a private key; And receiving, when the private key issuing request data, the activation server generates and transmits a new private key to the client that does not overlap with a private key previously assigned to another client.

In addition, the request for confirming the activation code may be obtained by obtaining an identification mark attached to the article by the client and transmitting the certification code extracted from the identification mark to the activation server.

In addition, the identification mark may be a QR code provided on the article itself or the article packaging.

In addition, when the number of items actually purchased by the user is different from the number of items on the item list, the activation server receives a suspected counterfeit notification from the client; further comprising the counterfeit suspected report selling the goods It may be to include the store information.

The method may further include determining, by the genuine certification server, that the article is genuine, and determining the past purchased article as a counterfeit article when the sale store of the article corresponding to the suspected counterfeit article is a formal store.

The article list providing step may include receiving an article list providing request from the client accessing the activation page based on the URL of the activation page without obtaining the activation code from a specific article; Receiving, by the activation server, the private key stored in the client; And extracting the article list matching the private key and providing the extracted article list to the client.

In addition, the private key issuing step may be characterized in that the activation server is issued based on a Universal Unique Identifier assigned to the client.

In addition, when the activation code verification procedure for the different one or more items by a plurality of clients possessed by the user, the activation server to create and provide a member account at the user's request; Receiving, by the activation server, private keys of a plurality of clients connected to the member account; And connecting the activation code matched with each private key to the member account.

In addition, the activation server generates a random key of a specific digit; Checking whether the random key has already been generated and matched to a particular article; If the random key corresponds to a newly generated key, matching the random key to a new article and assigning the random key to the genuine authentication code; And if the random key corresponds to a key that has already been generated, performing the random key generation again.

The private key-based counterfeit discovery program according to another embodiment of the present invention is combined with hardware to execute the aforementioned client key-based counterfeit discovery method, and is stored in a medium.

According to the present invention as described above, has the following various effects.

First, even if a counterfeit product is separately established for the counterfeit product, the buyer can recognize the purchase of the counterfeit product, thereby eliminating counterfeit sellers and counterfeiting the counterfeit product.

Second, counterfeit distributors can not verify the activation code generation rules, so that counterfeit goods can be prevented from becoming genuine.

In this specification, the singular also includes the plural unless specifically stated otherwise in the phrase. As used herein, "comprises" and / or "comprising" does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components in addition to the mentioned components.

In this specification, an article means each specific article. As used herein, a product is meant to encompass articles of the same kind. For example, if a pack product of a particular company is a product, each pack produced and distributed may correspond to an item.

In the present specification, the 'client' means a device that is included or installed by a specific program and is held by a user who performs arithmetic processing. The 'client' includes all the various devices capable of performing arithmetic processing and providing a result to a user. For example, a computer can be a desktop PC, a notebook, as well as a smartphone, a tablet PC, a cellular phone, a PCS phone (Personal Communication Service phone), synchronous / asynchronous The mobile terminal of the International Mobile Telecommunication-2000 (IMT-2000), a Palm Personal Computer (PC), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like may also be applicable. The 'client' performs data communication with the activation server 100 through wireless communication.

In the present specification, 'Individual Key' is key data for accumulating items (for example, purchased items) for which activation is performed for each individual. 'Private key' is key data given to a particular client possessed by a user. That is, the 'private key' is key data given to a specific client in order to form a matching relationship between a specific client and a product for which activation is requested in the authentication server.

In the present specification, the "authentication certification code 10" refers to code data that is given to each of the genuine article to verify the authenticity.

In the present specification, the 'counterfeiting authentication code 20' refers to a code stored in a forgery authentication server as code data given to a forgery.

In the present specification, the 'identification mark' means a mark that is generated based on the genuine certification code 10 or the counterfeit authentication code 20 and attached to an individual article. In addition, the 'identification mark' means that it is recognized by the client to provide a genuine authentication code (10) or forgery authentication code (20) to the client. The identification code generated based on the counterfeit authentication code 20 may be manufactured in the same form as the identification mark generated based on the genuine certification code 10 by the counterfeit manufacturer so as not to recognize whether the user is a counterfeit product. .

In the present specification, the "authentication authentication server" refers to a server that is connected based on the genuine certification code 10 assigned to the genuine product.

In the present specification, the 'authentication authentication page 400' refers to a page provided to the client as the client accesses the activation server based on the activation code 10 assigned to the genuine product.

In the present specification, the 'counterfeiting authentication page 500' refers to a page provided to a client as a user accesses a forgery authentication server based on a forgery authentication code 20 assigned to a forgery. The forgery authentication page 500 may be a page generated similarly to the activation page 400 so that it is difficult for the consumer / buyer to recognize by the counterfeit distributor (for example, a counterfeit manufacturer or a counterfeit product seller).

In the present specification, 'random key' refers to key data of a specific digit that is randomly generated without applying a specific generation rule.

Counterfeit goods distributors are attached to the counterfeit identification label similar to the genuine and sell, and the client 200 is connected to the counterfeit authentication server 300 when the counterfeit identification mark is obtained, the client 200 is a counterfeit authentication page 500 is provided from the forgery authentication server (300). That is, as shown in FIG. 1, counterfeit goods distributors establish counterfeit authentication server 300 corresponding to the activation server 100, and similarly produce a user who purchased counterfeit goods in correspondence with the activation page 400. Forgery authentication page 500 may be provided when connecting to the forgery authentication server (300).

As such, as the counterfeit sellers separately create the same procedures for the counterfeit, the buyer (ie, the user) may not recognize that the purchased goods are counterfeit. There is a need for a process that can solve these problems and find counterfeits.

Hereinafter, a private key based counterfeit discovery system, method and program according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

2 is a block diagram of a counterfeit detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Counterfeit product detection system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the activation server 100, the client (200).

The activation server 100 performs a role of granting a private key to each client. That is, when the activation server 100 receives a request for confirming the activation code 10 from a specific client 200, when a private key is not assigned to the client 200, the activation server 100 newly creates the client 200. Issue a private key. The manner in which the activation server 100 assigns a private key to each client will be described in detail below.

The activation server 100 performs a role of providing a list of items requested to confirm the activation code 10 to the client based on a matching relationship between the activation code 10 and the private key. The activation server 100 generates and provides a list of items for which activation is performed through the activation server 100 so as to recognize whether or not the user has purchased a counterfeit. A detailed process for providing a list of items in which the request for confirming the activation code 10 is received will be described in detail below.

In addition, the activation server 100 serves to receive a suspected counterfeit report from the client (200). When the number of items purchased by the user and the currently displayed item list do not match, the activation server 100 receives a suspicious report sent from the client by the user's request. In addition, counterfeit goods can be reported by receiving the shop information purchased at the time of suspected or abnormal report.

In addition, the activation server 100 serves to generate the activation code (10). The activation code 10 is a data value assigned to each article. In one embodiment, the activation server 100 may generate and assign a different activation code (10) to each item when N items corresponding to a specific product of a particular brand (that is, company) is released. have. The activation code 10 assigned to each article may be made of a specific identification mark and attached to each article itself or to a package. The identification mark may be generated by a barcode, a QR code, or the like, and may be attached to the surface of the article (for example, the packaging surface of the cosmetic pack) or to be included with the article during the transaction (for example, a quality warranty). .

The client 200 is a user terminal device that requests genuine certification (that is, request for confirmation of the genuine certification code 10) upon first obtaining an identification mark corresponding to the genuine certification code 10 provided in a specific article. That is, the client 200 is a terminal device for requesting the authenticating server 100 to check whether the authenticity is genuine by acquiring an identification mark attached to a specific article (for example, photographing the identification mark through a camera). The client 200 may extract the activation code 10 included in the identification mark and transmit it to the activation server 100.

In addition, when the client 200 has already received and stored the private key, the client 200 transmits the private key to the activation server 100 at the request of the activation server 100. That is, when a private key has already been generated and issued, the client 200 does not need to separately generate and issue a private key for distinguishing the client 200. Therefore, the client 200 transmits an activation code transmitted to the activation server 100. The private key information to match the 10 is transmitted to the activation server 100.

In addition, the client 200 serves to display a list of items received from the activation server 100. In one embodiment, when the client 200 performs the request to confirm the activation code 10 of the new article, the client 200 receives a list of items based on the activation code 10 matched to the private key. To display on the activation page (400).

Referring to FIG. 3, in the private key-based counterfeit discovery method according to another embodiment of the present invention, upon receiving a specific activation code 10 confirmation request, the activation server 100 generates and issues a private key. Step (S500); Performing matching of the activation code 10 for a specific item for each private key (S600); And generating an article list matching the private key and providing the list to the client 200 corresponding to the private key (S700). Hereinafter, a detailed description of each step will be described.

Upon receiving a specific activation code 10 confirmation request, the activation server 100 generates and issues a private key for identifying an individual (S500). As the first user acquires the identification mark attached to the goods purchased using the client 200, the client 200 extracts the activation code 10 from the identification mark.

In one embodiment, when the identification mark is a QR code or a barcode form, the client may acquire the identification mark by photographing the identification mark with a camera by a first user's operation, and the activation code 10 in the identification mark. Extract In another embodiment, when the identification mark is an NFC tag provided on an article or a package of the article, the client may include an activation code 10 included in the identification mark as tagged by the first user on the identification mark provided on the article. Can be obtained.

The client 200 transmits the activation code 10 to the activation server 100 through wired or wireless communication. That is, the request for confirming the activation code 10 corresponds to receiving the activation code 10 obtained by the client 200 from the activation server 100 and requesting a determination of whether the product is genuine.

Then, when receiving a request for confirming the activation code 10 from a specific client 200 for the first time, the activation server 100 generates a private key in the process of confirming whether or not genuine based on the activation code 10. To the client 200. The private key is key data that is received in the process of activation and stored in the client device 200. The activation server 100 checks whether the private key is stored in the client and generates a new private key. Grant.

In one embodiment, the private key corresponds to a code given to each terminal owned by the user. If you do not perform a separate membership, the activation server 100 can not distinguish the user of the client (200). Therefore, the activation server 100 grants different private keys according to identification data (for example, Universal Unique Identifiers (UUID) differently assigned to each mobile terminal) individually assigned to the client 200. do.

In another embodiment, the private key determines a user based on another linked account logged in to the client 200, and assigns a private key corresponding to the user. For example, if the first terminal and the second terminal owned by the first user are connected to the same account (for example, a Google account for an Android terminal or an Apple account for an Apple terminal), the activation server 100 determines that the same private key should be provided to the first terminal and the second terminal. Accordingly, the activation server 100 matches user account information (for example, an account mail address) with a private key, and includes a terminal including account information previously identified through another terminal (ie, the first terminal). In other words, if the second terminal), the activation server 100 transmits the same private key that was assigned to the first terminal to the second terminal. On the other hand, in the case of user account information that is not registered at all, the activation server 100 may generate a new private key and transmit it to the client 200.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, in one embodiment, the following procedure is performed between the activation server 100 and the client 200. First, the activation server 100 receives the activation code 10 obtained from the client 200 (S510). Thereafter, the activation server 100 transmits a request for providing a private key to the client 200 (S520). When the client 200 holds the private key, the activation server 100 receives the private key data from the client 200, and when the client 200 does not hold the private key (that is, newly activated When the client 200 has requested the code 10 confirmation, the activation server 100 issues private data without private key (that is, data not stored in the private key) or private key from the client 200. Receive the request data (S530). Upon receiving the private key non-private data or the private key issuing request data, the activation server 100 generates and transmits a new private key to the client 200 that does not overlap with the private key previously assigned to the other client 200. (S540).

The client 200 receives the private key from the activation server 100 and stores the private key in a specific storage space therein. Through this, since the private key is stored in the user client, the user can use the same private key until the client device 200 is replaced or initialized (for example, a factory reset to delete all data and return to the initial state).

If the private key is already stored in the client device 200 according to the history of the request for confirmation of the activation code 10, the activation server 100 does not generate and transmit a new private key. The client device 200 may transmit a private key stored in the client device 200 (ie, the user terminal).

The activation server 100 performs matching of the activation code 10 for the article for each private key (S600). As the activation server 100 matches the activation code 10 for each specific private key, the product matching the activation code 10 is matched with the private key.

When the activation server 100 issues a new private key to the client 200 (that is, the client 200 that has never transmitted the activation code 10 confirmation request to the activation server 100). In this case, the activation server 100 stores the newly generated private key to the client 200 and stores it therein, and stores the activation code 10 received at the time of the activation code 10 confirmation request with the private key. Perform a match. When the private key is stored in the client 200, the activation server 100 receives the private key stored therein from the client 200, and searches for the corresponding private key in the activation server 100 to activate the product. The code 10 is matched with the activation code 10 received upon confirmation request. Through this, when a user performs a plurality of activation code 10 confirmation requests using the client 200 having the same private key (for example, one client 200 recognizes the identification marks of several items through When performing a plurality of activation code (10) check, the activation server 100 is one or more activation code (10) to a specific private key in the same activation server 100 as the private key stored in the client (200) ) (That is, connect).

The activation server 100 generates a list of items matching the private key and provides them to the user client 200 corresponding to the private key (S700). In one embodiment, when receiving a request for confirming the activation code 10 for a new item from the client 200, the activation server 100 generates and provides the item list to the client 200. The user can check whether there is no difference from the purchase list recognized by the user as he is provided with a list of items purchased so far (specifically, a list of individual items according to the activation code 10). .

In one embodiment, the activation server 100 provides a list of items to the client 200 when a request for confirmation of the activation code 10 for a new article. If all items purchased by the user are accumulated and a list of newly added items for which the activation code (10) is requested is provided, the user newly performs the activation code (10) confirmation request (that is, , The article that performs the identification mark recognition attached to the article is determined to be the article connected to the same activation server 100 as the existing article (e.g., a genuine article under the premise that the article that performed the original activation request is genuine) can do. On the other hand, if the item list and the number of items that you have previously purchased do not match (for example, if you previously purchased three packs of the same item, this time a new pack when you request the activation code (10) confirmation If it is confirmed that one), the user is a product that is requested to check the activation code (10) this time the article connected to the activation server 100 and other servers (that is, forgery authentication server 300) connected to the existing purchases ( For example, it can be recognized that the article that has performed the original activation request is a counterfeit) Therefore, when the list of items actually purchased and the list of items provided on the authentication page (that is, the activation page 400 or the counterfeit authentication page 500) do not match, the items that have been activated at this time (that is, the new items) Or one or more items that have been previously activated may be counterfeit.

As the user instills suspicion on the basis of the item list, the user may examine the authentication page in detail in order to confirm whether the authentication page is a genuine authentication page 400. For example, if the number of items for which the activation is performed does not match, the user may check the domain address of the authentication page in detail to check whether the domain address of the activation page 400 is different from the domain address. In addition, as the user's suspicion is based on a list of items that do not match the number of items purchased, the user can repurchase the goods at a store that has been purchased and perform the activation again. Through this, the user can go through the process of directly checking the counterfeit.

Further, in another embodiment, when the request for confirmation of the activation code 10 for a new article or an existing confirmation article, the activation server 100 receives a request for providing an article list from the client 200 to the client 200. Provide a list of items. For example, when the client 200 accesses the activation page 400 (eg, accesses an activation webpage through URL input) according to a user's request, the activation server 100 activates. The private key stored in the client 200 accessing the page 400 is received, and an article list matching the private key is extracted and provided to the client 200. Since the URL address corresponding to the website is a value that is uniquely matched to a specific website, it is difficult to bypass the counterfeit authentication server 300 instead of the activation server 100 when directly accessing the URL. Therefore, through this, the user can immediately check the genuine list purchased so far.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, the private key-based counterfeit detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the actual number and the number on the item list is different, receiving a suspicious request (S800); further includes; do. That is, when it is determined by the user that the number on the item list and the actual number of purchased items are different, the activation server 100 receives a suspicious request from the client 200. The user recognizes that he / she purchases a corresponding product (for example, a pack of a specific cosmetic company) for the third time, and the list may be presented as the first purchase on the item list provided from the activation server 100. In this case, the user may perform a suspicion report based on a difference from the number of purchases recognized by the user. That is, when the user has taken the identification mark attached to the counterfeit goods, the list is displayed on the counterfeit authentication page 500, and when the user has taken the genuine product, the list is displayed on the genuine home page, so that the user can check the number of products purchased by the user. It may be recognized that it is not correct, and the abnormal report can be performed accordingly.

In one embodiment, as the client 200 accesses the activation page 400 and the suspicion report is performed, the activation server 100 obtains the counterfeit information. The activation server 100 receives store information for selling goods determined as counterfeits through the client 200 from the user, and obtains a list of counterfeit distribution stores. That is, the activation server 100 receives the store information that previously purchased the counterfeit goods when performing a report on the activation page 400 from the user to identify the counterfeit stores.

In addition, in another embodiment, the activation server 100 receives the store information purchased in the susceptible report or abnormal report data, and determines whether the current suspected article is a counterfeit through the store information. When the suspected article is a product purchased at a formal store selling only genuine products, the activation server 100 guides that the currently purchased item corresponds to the genuine product and the previously purchased item was a counterfeit product.

In addition, the activation server 100 may provide the user with the official authentication page confirmation criteria data. That is, the activation server 100 provides the user with a verification standard that can only have the activation page 400, and in the situation where it is suspected that the counterfeit goods were purchased, the current authentication page is an activation page ( 400) can be determined. For example, an identification mark for recognizing that the product is an activation page 400 may use a URL or a domain address that may not have the same value.

In addition, when a user uses a plurality of clients, the activation server 100 may generate a member account to perform a process of integrating the purchase details using the plurality of clients. That is, when a user activates a plurality of different items with a plurality of clients, a different private key is given to each terminal and the purchase history for each private key is stored, so that all the purchase histories are purchased at once. Can not confirm. Therefore, the activation server 100 allows the user to register, and when logging in from each terminal with the registered account, the private key is received from each terminal and the data matched with the corresponding private key is logged into the account of the logged in user. Can connect In one embodiment for integrating the activation history of a plurality of clients, as shown in Figure 6, when the activation code 10 confirmation procedure for one or more different items by a plurality of clients 200, the user has, The activation server 100 generating and providing a member account according to a user's request (S900); Receiving, by the activation server 100, private keys of a plurality of clients connected to the member account (S1000); And connecting the activation code 10 matched to each private key to the member account (S1100).

Through this, users can integrate and manage the details of activation to a plurality of clients (for example, smartphones, tablet PCs, etc.), and the historical data purchased prior to registration through each client's private key can also be managed. Can accumulate in user accounts. In addition, the activation service provider may induce users to join based on integrated management of the activation history through multiple clients.

In another embodiment, the method further includes extracting advertisement data based on a list of items purchased and activated by a specific user based on the private key and providing the same to the client. As the user photographs the activation code attached to the purchased item to confirm the authenticity, a list of items corresponding to the user or each client is stored in the activation server 100. If a private key is assigned to each client possessed by the user, an article list may be generated for each private key (that is, for each client corresponding to each private key). As the user account is created, a list of items on which activation is performed by one or more clients may be integrated to generate a list of items of a specific user. The activation server 100 may extract advertisement information suitable for a user based on a list of items for each user or for each client.

In one embodiment of the method of extracting the advertisement information, the activation server 100 matches the advertisement information to the activation code 10 or the product, based on the product included in the product list for each individual key or user account Extract advertising information. The activation server 100 displays and provides advertisement information on the user client 200. In addition, as another embodiment of the method of extracting the advertisement information, it is possible to derive the appropriate advertisement information based on the combination of the items included in the item list.

In addition, the activation server 100 provides the product information (for example, product introduction) on the product list provided to the client 200, including. Through this, the user can check the product information on the product on which the activation has been performed (that is, the product including the product on which the activation has been performed). The activation server 100 may display a separate button for checking product information on the user interface provided to the client. In addition, when the client 200 is a device having a touch screen, the activation server 100 generates a user interface so that the product information is provided as a pop-up to the client 200 when the user continues the touch operation for a specific time or more. Can provide.

In addition, the counterfeit detection method according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes the step of generating a genuine activation code 10 with a random key.

Codes that are assigned to existing items are generally generated based on specific generation rules. Therefore, if the counterfeit manufacturer grasps the rule of generating the corresponding code, it is possible to generate the same code as the genuine article on the counterfeit or to generate the following code according to the rule of creation, and generate the code to which the same rule is applied as the genuine (or genuine) product. Attached counterfeit goods can be distributed in the market.

For example, if it is confirmed that the counterfeit is confirmed by conforming to the rules for issuing the activation code (10) obtained by the client, the counterfeit manufacturers hack through the issuance rules (10) issuance rules to issue the issuance rules. If you continue to generate keys that are satisfactory, you will not be able to verify that you are using a client key as a counterfeit. Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of such a problem, a method of generating an activation code 10 having no generation rule or pattern is provided.

In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the activation server 100 generates a random key of a specific digit (S100); Checking whether the random key has already been generated and matched to a specific article (S200); If the random key corresponds to a newly generated key, matching the random key to a new article and assigning the random key to a genuine authentication code (S300); And if the random key corresponds to a key that has already been generated, re-generating the random key (S400).

The activation server 100 generates a random key of a specific digit (S100). The random key may have a specific number of digits, and various methods may be applied to the random key generation method. For example, when the rantum key has N digits, a random generation program is applied to each digit so that the number of each digit can be individually applied to each random key generation time. When a number of specific digits themselves are generated based on one random generation program, a specific generation rule by logic of the random generation program may be found, so that a different random generation program may be applied to each digit.

The activation server 100 checks whether the random key has already been generated and matched to a specific article (S200). That is, when the same random key is assigned to a plurality of items, since the genuine article may be determined as a counterfeit, the activation server 100 generates a random key without a specific generation rule, and thus is already generated and assigned to a specific article. You need to determine whether it corresponds to your code.

When the activation server 100 corresponds to the newly generated key, the random key is matched with the random key to a new article and given to the activation code 10 (S300). The granted activation code 10 may be implemented in the form of various identification marks that can be provided to the user. For example, the random key determined by the activation code 10 corresponding to a specific item is generated by a barcode, a QR code, etc., provided together with the surface of the article (for example, the packaging surface of the cosmetic pack) or the product transaction. (Eg, quality assurance certificate), or the like.

If the activation server 100 corresponds to a key for which the random key has already been generated, the random key generation is performed again (S400). That is, the activation server 100 may iterate to generate a random key that does not overlap with the already generated activation code 10.

Through this, even if the same product can be given a different genuine certification code 10 for each individual article, it is possible to determine whether or not genuine for each individual article.

The activation server 100 may perform an activation process by receiving a specific identification mark or data corresponding to the identification mark (for example, numeric data of a specific digit generated by QR) from a user client (ie, a terminal). have. That is, the activation server 100 may store and match the activation code 10 and a specific item, and when receiving a specific identification mark or the corresponding data from the client, the activation code stored in the activation server 100 (10) can be confirmed. The activation server 100 may generate a value assigned to the activation code 10 to inform the user client of the genuine product. If the value is not stored, the activation server 100 may determine the counterfeit product to guide the user client.

In addition, the identification mark provided on the article may include a code corresponding to the product information and the activation code 10 assigned to the article. Accordingly, when receiving the data on the identification mark from the user client, the activation server 100 may extract a code (ie, product information code) and the activation code 10 corresponding to the product information. Thereafter, the activation server 100 is a product information code and the product identification code extracted from the identification mark 10 and the product information of the specific product matched with the activation code 10 stored in the activation server 100 and It can be determined whether they match. Through this, the activation server 100 may find a case that corresponds to a code generated by the activation code 10 but does not correspond to a matching relationship with a product or a product, and thus is likely to be a counterfeit.

In addition, the activation server 100 may generate a separate activation code 10 for each company or product. Through this, it may be included with the company identification code or product information code in the identification mark.

In addition, the activation server 100 may determine the disposal cycle of the specific activation code 10, based on the expiration date, life cycle, etc. of the specific product. That is, when the expiration date has passed or the general life cycle has elapsed, there may be a product that is disposed of without using the article. The activation code 10 for such an article may be disposed of after a corresponding period of time and treated as a code that can be newly assigned to another article.

The above-described method for detecting a counterfeit based on a private key according to an embodiment of the present invention described above may be implemented as a program (or an application) and stored in a medium for execution in combination with a computer which is hardware.

In the above-described program, in order for a computer (for example, the activation server 100) to read the program and to execute the methods implemented as a program, the processor of the computer (CPU) is connected through the device interface of the computer. It may include code coded in computer languages such as C, C ++, JAVA, and machine language that can be read. Such code may include functional code associated with a function or the like that defines the necessary functions for executing the methods, and includes control procedures related to execution procedures necessary for the computer's processor to execute the functions according to a predetermined procedure. can do. In addition, the code may further include memory reference code for additional information or media required for the computer's processor to execute the functions at which location (address address) of the computer's internal or external memory should be referenced. have. Also, if the processor of the computer needs to communicate with any other computer or server remotely in order to execute the functions, the code may be used to communicate with any other computer or server remotely using the communication module of the computer. It may further include a communication related code for whether to communicate, what information or media should be transmitted and received during communication.

The stored medium is not a medium for storing data for a short time such as a register, a cache, a memory, but semi-permanently, and means a medium that can be read by the device. Specifically, examples of the storage medium include, but are not limited to, a ROM, a RAM, a CD-ROM, a magnetic tape, a floppy disk, an optical data storage device, and the like. That is, the program may be stored in various recording media on various servers to which the computer can access or various recording media on the computer of the user. The media may also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored in a distributed fashion.

In the above, embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains may implement the present invention in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features. I can understand that. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.
