Description

DESCRIPTION
- Authentication Technology of Digital Barcode Numerical and Character Coding System The invention is a method of authentication by using barcode digital technology.
1o Counterfeiting of commodity products (commercial goods, products, and printed items) has been globalized as a giant underground industry. In accordance with the statistics, the annual loses of manufacturers and consumers cause by the counterfeiting reached several hundreds billions in US dollars, not including man power and efforts made by the manufacturers and distributors in anti-counterfeiting of products.
In China, for instance, almost every famous or high quality products has been faked. The faked medical products, foods, electronic appliances have cost life of consumers.
Since the counterfeiting industries are the most lucrative business, the counterfeiting giants have been using the advanced technologies against anti-counterfeiting methods.
Traditional anti-counterfeiting methods, such as print materials, or laser, thermal sensitive or 2o photosensitive labels, are no long effectively fighting against counterfeit, and the telecom or tele-code increase difficulties and costs for the customers to use them.
Those methods in fact cannot suppress large scale of counterfeiting activities, for their inquiry ratios of the protected products are very low.
This invention adapts the technology of digital barcode & numerical character coding system for the purpose of authentication of products, which overcomes all the weakness of the traditional anti-counterfeiting technologies. In detail, this invention means using of the technology of Internet and computer system to produce digital barcode & numerical and character coding system through which the authenticate the 3o product items and commodities can be implemented, therefore, the purpose of anti-counterfeit can be realized.

To reach above-mentioned goal, this invention is implemented by following technique plan: an authentication measure through digital barcode & numerical and character coding system, its features are: this technology is structured by a system for generating and managing digital barcode & numerical and character coding and a system for inquiry over the Internet.
The digital barcode & numerical and character coding system includes two-dimensional barcode and imagine coding, and is formed by two parts: the first part is the numerical and character coding for the product items' information combined by o numberings and wordings. It is a regular combination of numbering and wordings. The second part is randomized numerical coding combined by numberings and wordings. It is random coding of combination of numbers and words.
The flow chart of the invention is:
~ 5 a) the end-user enter the identity code of the inquired item onto the end-user's computer by using the barcode scanner, or b) the end-user may enter the identity code of the inquired item onto the computer by hand typing for authentication purpose;
c) upon receipt of the identity code, the computer will verify the identity code of 2o the inquired item, if the identity code is wrong, the computer will request re-enter, if it is correct, the inquiry will be sent to the web-site of inquiring system for authentication of the inquired item.
d) Upon receipt of the inquiring request, the inquiring system will run the central database to get the authentication result and the end-user will receive the 25 authentication result through the instantly.
The system for generating and managing digital barcode & numerical and character coding is:
a) computer and relevant software generate item identity codes and item ;p label codes. The item identity codes are regular coding containing the information of the product items; while the item label codes are irregular coding randomly generated. Therefore, every item label code is unique to each product item.
b) Upon the customer's order, generating item label codes for each product item of the customer and save the generated item label codes at the database.
c) Through the converting/output system, the item label code will be converted into the form of barcode which will be affixed to each individual product item.
1 o The inquiring system over Internet is a) this system is formed by a terminal for entering and verifying the barcodes, and the inquiring web site as well as relevant database stored on the server which is linked with Internet.
b) The terminal for entering and verifying the barcode, is structured by the 1 s scanner, personal computers linked with Internet, and the relevant software. The scanner is used to read the barcode affixed to the individual product items, while the personal computer and the relevant software are for making inquiries from the inquiring web site and display the results of the inquiries.
2o c) The inquiring web site is for receiving the inquiring requests, searching with the database, and sending the searching results to the terminals.
This invention, by using the technology of barcode & numerical and character coding system for authentication, overcomes the weaknesses of existing anti-faking 2s technologies, and reaches the above-mentioned purposes for which this technology is invented. The authentication method designed by this technology is simple, practical, and safe, with low cost, to use. It can be used to eliminate large scale of product faking activities, and thoroughly to destroy black markets for faked products.
The advantages of this invention are:
1) unique anti-faking technology effectively makes large scale of underground counterfeiting manufacturers and markets to lose their foundations for existing, because it is based on the following features of the anti-faking label barcode:
a) Uniqueness: each label code assigned to each product item is unique. The code cannot be reproduced by other means or by the same generating program.
1o b) One-off in use: the label codes will be hidden in the anti-faking labels specially designed and printed. The label codes can only be unveiled by destroy the first layers of the labels. Once a label code being checked, the inquiry is recorded into the database. Future inquirer of the same label code will be reminded that this code has checked, therefore, reusing of same code becomes meaningless.
c) Reliability: the anti-counterfeiting label code is generated by advanced computer encryption program. Once a code is generated, it will be stored automatically in the database, and only when the barcode is printed to a label which is affixed to the product item, 2o the relevant numerical code stored in the database starts to use. It is impossible for the counterfeiters to obtain those codes. This procedure ensures the safety of the coding data.
Based the above-mentioned features, counterfeiters will not be able to produce correct label barcode, and it is also impossible for the counterfeiters to store reproduced the label barcode in the database.
Therefore the counterfeiters will not be able to make large scale of counterfeiting activities, and it is not worthwhile, in terms of money and time, for the counterfeiter to make small scale of counterfeiting activities.
3o This will give the underground faking industries a fatal blow.
2) Easy and fast to operate Consumers and merchants (including distributors and retailers at different levels) authenticate their commodities at the verification terminal. The operation is simple and quick with no cost. If an item is found to be a faked product, then the customer will be able to request the refund immediately.
3) large anti-counterfeiting coverage, powerful threat to the counterfeiters, and low costs to This invention provides global networking authentication against anti-counterfeiting, for the invention is based on the Internet technology which has no territory limit. The manufacturers, merchants and organizations do not have to put huge manpower, and financial costs respectively to fight with the counterfeits, ~ 5 once they join this network, they will obtain maximum effects with minimum costs. In addition, if there is a verification terminal setting up in a complex shopping mall, all the merchants in this mall will be automatically regulated not to carry faked products, therefore, stop the selling channels of the counterfeiters.
20 4) Broad range of application with muti-functions diversification This invention is applicable to all types of products and items. An anh-counterfeiting label barcode may contain numerous informations, and this advantage may facilitate the manufacturers with relevant services, such as Internet 25 shopping, information distribution and labels and certificates management through Internet.
5) Creating famous brands for the manufacturers who has joined this Internet networking The anti-counterfeiting web site established by this invention not only efficiently and effectively protects the legal rights of manufacturers/enterprises, merchants and consumers who join this web network, but also raises their products' reputations and popularity, that lays down the foundations for those manufacturers/enterprises to establish brands for their products.
Below is the further explanation that is supported by the drawings and operating demonstration:
p Drawing 1 - diagram of the barcode used by this invention Drawing 2 - diagram of the two-dimensional barcode used by this invention Drawing 3 - diagram of imagine coding used by this invention Drawing 4 - diagram of another imagine coding used by this invention Drawing 5 - technological principles of the invention ~5 The implementing demonstration of the invention, see as Drawing 1 - 5:
1. the organizations or individuals who are using the technology set up anti-counterfeiting station on Internet, and establish relevant database and inquiring system;
20 2. using computer and relevant software to generate serial anti-counterfeiting label barcode for the each individual items of products ordered by the manufacturers.
The label barcode may be printed directly to an item of the products or to the surface or inner lay of the item's label, or into an anti-counterfeiting label affixed to the item. The item's anti-counterfeiting label barcode contains item identity 25 numerical coding and randomized numerical coding. Such label barcode has following features:
a) the label barcode is permanent and unique, because there is randomized coding contained in the barcode.
b) The label barcode cannot be reproduced, because that the randomized 3o coding makes the each label barcode cannot be regenerated even by the same generating program;
c) Searching for authentication is quick and fast, because the item identity numerical coding is regular coding for the information of the product, such as name of the product, place of production, manufacturer, date of production, etc., that makes the search and matching in a fast speed.
3. When an item's label barcode is generated, simultaneously, the numerical coding in corresponding to the barcode is automatically stored into database ready for authentication.
4. Choosing sites for establishing anti-counterfeiting verification terminal.
The terminal is formed by barcode scanner and personal computer linked with 1 o Internet. The barcode of each item can be read to enter by the scanner or entered by hand, and automatically download to the database on the anti-counterfeiting web site for inquiry. The database will search and match the inquiry with the information stored, and dispatch the inquiring result to the verification terminal, including all the information relating the inquired item, such as name and type of ~ 5 product, manufacturer, place and date of production, date of expiry, ingredient, etc.. The end-user will instantly know the authentication of the product and its relevant information.
For example, a domestic or overseas winery is a member of the anti-counterfeiting web 2o network. Its each individual item of products is affixed by a anti-counterfeiting label barcode. The consumers may verify the authenticity of the products at the wine store where they bought the wines by using the scanner to enter the anti-counterfeiting label barcode into the terminal. After al or 30 seconds, the terminal will display the authentication results. If the item is authentic, the consumer will see the information 25 relating to the product, such as the manufacturer, place and date of production, date of expiry, ingredient, etc. If the product is faked, the consumer will be warned and reminded to report to the anti-counterfeiting authority. The consumer may return the good to the store immediately as well reserve the right to claim for damage. Therefore, along with the promotion and popularity of the invention, the large scale of counterfeiting markets will 3o be uprooted thoroughly.
