Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of article (for example, industry of counterfeit listing of likely copying regular articleProduct, brand-name goods, security, credit card etc.) be object, mark represents the technology of the code of regular articleAnd the whether correct technology of judge mark content.

In addition, alleged in this manual " mark (marking) ", except referring to printing treatment,Also refer to that mint-mark processing, relief sculpture treatment, etching and processing, laser labelling etc. are for fixing by visual stateThe various processing of the information content.

Background technology

In recent years, being difficult to discriminating increases day by day with the situation of the exquisite counterfeit listing of the difference of regular articleAdd, in light of this situation, developed to differentiate simply the technology of counterfeit as problem. Wherein,Comprise following technology: the information coding of setting respectively for each article is become to 2 d code or bar code etc.Optical information code, and by its with together with character string corresponding to its code content, be printed on (ginseng on articleAccording to patent documentation 1,2).

Patent documentation 1: the publication communique 2003-44257 of Japan.

Patent documentation 2: the publication communique 2006-102364 of Japan.

Patent documentation 1, using the printed article of security etc. as object, records following technology: to printing objectThe part of Word message be encrypted, and to representing 2 d code and the Word message of its enciphered messagePrint together (0021st～0026 section). Also record in addition, to reading according to 2 d codeInformation show after being decrypted, operator is by checking its displaying contents and actual lettering letterWhether breath, carry out correct judgment in (paragraph 0032～0034).

Patent documentation 2, using the electronic unit of game machine of use as object, records following technology: utilize and breathe outUncommon function (hashfunction), by content according to parts and the first different identifying informations (is manufactured numberThe combination of code, lot number, factory number etc.) be converted to the code (check code) of other guide, and will compileEnter to have the 2 d code and the character string that represents original various information of the first identifying information and check codeBe printed on together on parts surface (the 0023rd, 0024,0028 section etc.). In addition, as after listingTrue and false judgement check, record following method: carry out that reading of 2 d code processed and to the first identificationInformation and check code are decrypted, to first identifying information of having deciphered is changed verificationCode and decrypted check code are checked, and maybe each information of having deciphered are presented on display, with orderDepending on mode and the character string of printing check (0046th～0049 section).

But, in patent documentation 1,2,2 d code represented information and become its information sourceInformation is printed on same target thing, therefore likely understands and encrypts rule according to the relation of two informationEtc.. In addition, according to the encryption rule of being understood and in the feelings that are printed with dummy string or 2 d codeUnder condition, likely cannot penetrate this forgery.

The present invention is conceived to the problems referred to above, and its problem is: make easily to understand optical information code andRelation between character string, thus the reliability of each code improved, can judge exactly that print content isNo correct.

Summary of the invention

The mark treatment system that the following describes, code judging system, Articla management system, labeling method,The invention of code judging method and information displaying forms in order to solve above-mentioned problem.

(1) mark treatment system be for management article on article or its adjunct mark two dimensionThe system of code and the code that formed by character string. This system has: memory cell, it is corresponding associatedThe ground storage much information relevant to article, makes each article can determine respectively relevant to these articleOne group of information; First code generation unit, it utilizes respectively in described memory cell for each articleFor the part in the confirmable one group of information of these article, generate and be used for representing that this article are intrinsic respectivelyThe first code of content; Second code generation unit, it generates respectively second code for each article,Wherein, described second code comprises the each article letter of intrinsic content respectively in described one group of informationBreath, and the information that described second code comprises is not included in first code; 2 d code generates singleUnit, it is for generating the 2 d code that represents described first code; String data generation unit, it is rightThe conversion process that described second code specifies, the data of the character string of generation tagged object; And markNote unit, it utilizes and represents the 2 d code of described first code and the word generating according to second codeSymbol string data, carries out described mark processing.

In technique scheme, preferably, the information group corresponding with each article comprises at least two kinds of contentsAccording to every kind of article and different information. Its reason is, needs point in first code, second codeDo not comprise the information of the intrinsic content of each article, and this information is information different between code.But, in information group, also can be included in information common between multiple article. First code, secondCode too, except above-mentioned intrinsic information, also can comprise the information common with other article.

Sometimes memory cell is made up of multiple storage arrangements physically. In addition, when in first codeThe information comprising according to article storage for example, at individual other storage medium (, RFID label, IC chip etc.)Time, these storage mediums are also included within memory cell.

According to said system, the first code generating for identical items and second code are by common letterBreath group is as information source, and the information that comprises the intrinsic content of each article, therefore first code andTwo codes have only one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, can make to represent the 2 d code of first code and fromThe combination of character string that two codes generate is according to different article and difference. Therefore, when existing from 2 d codeThe reading out data reading and the combination of character string is identical or 2 d code is identical, and character string is differentWhen multiple article, even there is genuine article in these article, also can be judged as and only have a genuine article, itsHe is counterfeit.

In addition, string data is the data that generate by second code is changed, therefore, as long asDo not know the rule of its conversion, just cannot decipher second code. And, due to contained in second codeInformation be the information of the intrinsic content of article, and this information is not included in first code, is thereforeMake to decipher second code according to the character string being marked on regular article, also cannot utilize the generation of its decipheringCode is forged 2 d code and the character string of the combination that is judged as regular article.

Like this, according to above-mentioned mark treatment system, cannot come according to the 2 d code of mark and character stringThe code of regular code is regarded in the generating structure of resolving code or forgery as.

(2), in a mode of above-mentioned mark treatment system, memory cell is solid respectively by each articleThe information of some contents, as keyword, is read and an information group that article are corresponding. In addition, the first generationCode generation unit generates and comprises the information of described keyword that becomes (being referred to as " key word information " below)Code as described first code.

According to aforesaid way, in the time that whether judge mark content is correct, reading the first generation from 2 d codeAfter code, the key word information based on contained in this code is come retrieve stored unit, can determine thus structureBecome the information of second code.

(3), in the system of preferred mode, in memory cell, store the manager couple of articleThe secret information that each article set. In addition, second code generation unit generates and comprises with handling objectThe code of the secret information that article are corresponding is as second code; String data generation unit is carried out computing,By this computing, second code is converted to the code that does not expose secret information, and according to obtaining by this computingThe code arriving generates string data.

According to aforesaid way, comprise in second code the information of only having the manager of article just can know,Therefore the people beyond manager to obtain its information extremely difficult. Therefore, can further strong second codeSafety.

(4) code judging system is following system: by the two dimension of mark on article or its adjunctThe character string of code and regulation, as object, judges that whether the content of this mark is correct, and it comprises: depositStorage unit, it associated stores second code with first code is corresponding, and wherein, first code represents intrinsicContent, second code is respectively for being marked with the multiple regular thing of 2 d code that represents first codeProduct, utilize the one group information relevant to these article to generate, and this second code comprise this group letterEach article in breath are the information of intrinsic content respectively, and the information that second code comprises is not included in theIn one code, second code is converted to the character of mark together with 2 d code by the conversion process of regulationString; Input block, it is for any article, receives the reading out data of inputting and represents character stringThe input of the string data of content, wherein, reading out data is the 2 d code to mark on these articleRead the data that processing obtains; Code determining unit, what it received input block reads numberAccording to come retrieve stored unit as first code, determine the second code corresponding with this code; Judging unit,It is when having generated mark by the conversion process of utilizing the determined second code of code determining unit to carry outWhen the string data of note object, judge whether to obtain the string data receiving with input blockIdentical string data; And judged result output unit, the judged result of its output judging unit is doneFor representing the whether correct information of content of mark.

In memory cell in above-mentioned code judging system, can store each article all " one groupInformation ", but be not limited to this, also can at least store and form each information of second code and by the(content in first code is according to each article and difference for information that two codes and first code associatePart, for example, described key word information).

According to the system of said structure, when whether just judging regulation article or its appendicular tag contentReally time, user reads processing to 2 d code, thereby using reading out data and expression as its resultThe string data of character string content inputs to system. Thus, the work of code determining unit, thereby based onThe reading out data of inputting comes retrieve stored unit, determines thus second code. And then, judge singleThe judgement processing of unit and the output processing of judged result output unit.

For example, judging unit utilization, by the definite code of code determining unit, is carried out with mark and is processed systemThe same conversion process of processing that the string data generation unit of system carries out, and by generated character stringData compare with the string data of inputting together with reading out data. Due to first code and the second generationCode has only one-to-one correspondence, therefore can think according to the next character of determined second code conversionString data is regular string data. Therefore, if the string data being transfused to and regular character stringData consistent, being judged as tag content is regular content, if two string datas are inconsistent,Being judged as tag content is the content of forging.

The processing that judging unit carries out is not limited to above-mentioned processing. For example, also can be handled as follows:When preserve over accordingly the second code that generates and when string data in mark treatment system,Determined code determining unit second code is sent to mark treatment system, corresponding thereby request sendsString data, and check the string data being sent out and the string data being transfused to.

According to said system, the regular character string relatively deriving from the represented first code of 2 d codeThe string data of data and mark, accurately whether judge mark content is correct thus.

(5) in a preferred mode of above-mentioned code judging system, input block is configured to receptionThe reading out data sending from external device (ED) and the unit of string data. In addition, judged result output is singleThe external device (ED) that unit is configured to having sent described reading out data and string data returns to expression markThe unit of the whether correct information of content. For example, which is applicable to connect by communication networks such as internetsReceipts are from the system of the mode of the access of external device (ED).

(6) then, Articla management system has following function: for management article, at article orThe function of mark 2 d code and the code that formed by character string on its adjunct; Judge the mark of each codeThe whether correct function of content of note, described Articla management system comprises: same with described mark treatment systemThe memory cell of sample, first code generation unit, second code generation unit, 2 d code generation unit,String data generation unit, indexing unit, input block, the code same with code judging system are trueOrder unit, judging unit and judged result output unit.

According to this Articla management system, the memory cell using can be sentenced as code in mark is processedThe data source of disconnected use, the memory resource of therefore can avoiding waste. In addition, owing to entering in same systemThe judgement processing of row labels processing and code, therefore can further improve the reliability of judgement.

(7) in labeling method, carry out following each step: to each article, utilize and this thing respectivelyA part in one group of information that product are correlated with, generates the first code that represents the intrinsic content of these article,And generate the step of second code, wherein, the each article in second code inclusion information group are solid respectivelyThe information of some contents, the information that second code comprises is not included in first code; Generate and represent theThe step of the 2 d code of one code; The conversion process that second code is specified, generates tagged objectThe step of string data; For each article, on these article or its adjunct, mark represents respectivelyThe step of the 2 d code of first code and the character string that formed by string data, wherein, character stringData are the data that generate according to second code.

(8), in code judging method, carry out following each step: in memory cell with first codeThe corresponding step that stores second code, wherein, first code represents intrinsic content, second associatedlyCode is respectively for being marked with the multiple regular article of 2 d code that represent first code, utilize with shouldOne group of information that article are relevant generates, and this second code comprises the each thing in this group of informationProduct are the information of intrinsic content respectively, and the information that second code comprises is not included in first code, theTwo codes are the character strings that are converted to mark together with 2 d code by the conversion process of regulation; For appointingMeaning article, receive the reading out data of inputting and the step that represents the string data of the content of character stringSuddenly, wherein, reading out data is the 2 d code of mark on these article to be read to processing obtainData; Come retrieve stored unit using inputted reading out data as first code, determine and this code pairThe step of the second code of answering; When generating by the conversion process of utilizing determined second code to carry outWhen the string data of tagged object, judge whether to obtain identical with inputted string dataThe step of string data; The result of output judgement is as the whether correct letter of content that represents markBreath.

(9) information displaying is marked with relevant to specific article on this information displaying2 d code and character string, 2 d code is to utilize one in one group of information relevant to specific articleThe information that part generates, and represent first code, described first code represents that these article are intrinsicContent. In addition, character string is that the conversion process that second code is specified obtains, wherein, and instituteState second code and comprise each article information of intrinsic content respectively in described one group of information, described theThe information that two codes comprise is not included in first code.

Preferably, above-mentioned information displaying forms the main body of actual object or the adjunct of article. ArticleAdjunct refer to, for example, the saying of the packaging of containing objects, wrapping paper, label (price tag), articleThe thing that bright book etc. circulate together with article.

According to above-mentioned mark processing, by not directly the second code of mark by 2 d code and character string pairShould get up, and set a pair of combination. Then,, to each article, mark is by two of intrinsic content respectivelyThe a pair of combination that dimension code and character string form, therefore the reliability of mark is high, can sentence exactlyWhether division of history into periods code is correct. In addition, according to 2 d code and the character string of enclosing same combination at multiple articleState, can easily judge and copy regular mark.

Detailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 represents a structure example of Articla management system 1 of the present invention.

This Articla management system 1 is by article (describing as an example of products such as electronic units example below)Manufacturer manages, and this Articla management system 1 is carried out following processing: at the product subscript of manufacturer's shipmentNote management code, and accept by the user's of internet purchases product access, and judge this userMarking whether of the product having is correct. In addition the connector that, is connected to internet in system is provided withFire wall 6.

In system, be provided with and manufacture intrinsic information management server 2 and judgement server 3, doFor multiple printing stations 4 (for convenient, illustrating) of an example of device for mark. Printing station 4Comprise the printing treatment terminal installation 40 taking computer as main body and be connected to this terminal installation 40Printing machine 41. Use in terminal installation 40, respectively not shown at each server 2,3 and printing treatmentCPU in enroll program, wherein, this program is for setting the various merits shown in Fig. 5 described later, Fig. 7Energy.

Printing machine 41 is for the main body of completed product or stick on the label (label) in its packaging,The information that printing comprises management code. In addition, direct printing information on the packaging, still,In this embodiment, by the label sticking of printing on the packaging. Printing treatment with terminal installation 40 by withManufacture the communication between intrinsic information management server 2, each product is obtained in the time manufacturing a product and generatedIntrinsic information (identical with " manufacture intrinsic information " described later), utilize its information generate printing rightThe data of elephant, and provide it to printing machine 41. In the data of this printing object, include two kinds of data,,, except representing the data of the general informations such as exabyte, ProductName, model, also comprise and represent pipeThe data of code for reason. Wherein, a kind of data form 2 d code, and another kind of data are shown with character stringGo out.

Fig. 2 represents the body surfaces to product 100 (being microswitch in this example) and sticks onLabel 101 in the packaging 102 of this product 100 has carried out the example of printing. Below, by the letter of printingBreath is defined as 2 d code and character string describes.

2 d code represents according to each product 100 and the information of different contents. Character string is also by eachThe information of the intrinsic content of product 100 is as information source. Particularly, generate by following processingCharacter string, that is, be encrypted information, and the information after encrypting is replaced into numeral or letter. This characterString is brought into play the function of the mark for identifying regular product together with 2 d code, therefore below by this characterString is called " cognizance code ".

In the example of Fig. 2, mark under 2 d code (below describe as example taking printing)There is cognizance code (as an example, mark " 86Gy9hY2 "). Like this, by 2 d codeNear printing cognizance code, can prevent that other character strings are judged as mistakenly cognizance code by user. But, if can allow each user know the printing position of cognizance code completely, also can leave two dimensionThe position printing cognizance code of code.

Return to Fig. 1, judgement use from user via fire wall 6 with server 3 equipment 7 (Face is called " user terminal 7 ") receive represent judge the whether correct content of code request (below titleFor " judgement request "), and carry out judgement according to its request and process.

In judgement request, comprise the string data of reading out data and expression cognizance code, wherein, instituteState reading out data and be by the 2 d code for being printed on body surfaces or the label 101 of product 100The data of processing and obtain are read in execution. Therefore, user terminal 7 is except having and the merit of Internet connectionBeyond energy, also need to possess the function that reads 2 d code. For example, can be by the generation of using with 2 d codeThe conduct such as personal computer or the mobile phone with shoot function that code reader (not shown) is connectedUser terminal uses. About string data, utilize keyboard etc. to input and both can.

Judgement with server 3 utilization be included in from the reading out data in the judgement request of user terminal 7 withCognizance code, judges whether they represent correct code, and by its judged result (when being just judged asWhen true code for representing the code of " OK ", in the time being judged as false code for representing the code of " NG ")Return to user terminal 7. Utilize by and manufacture communicating by letter between intrinsic information management server 2 and obtainThe information arriving, carries out this judgement processing.

Establish manufacturing in intrinsic information management server 2 (below, be slightly called " management server 2 ")Be equipped with database, wherein, this database is for accumulating the various information that generate when each product is manufactured in storage.Accumulating in canned data, except such as model, manufacture lot number, product export numbering etc. can be intrinsicOne group of information (information that each product is given respectively inherently) that each product is determined on ground in addition, alsoPeople's identification number is taken in the identification number, the identification number of production line, the manufacture that comprise manufacture day, factoryEtc. the information of relevant manufacturing management, each information is stored in database explicitly, wherein, and described phaseThe information of closing manufacturing management is not that each product is intrinsic, but multiple products are set jointly. Then,Can determine inherently the information (for example, the combination of model, manufacture lot number, factory number) of productAs key word information, can from management server 2, extract or retrieve a series of letter being associatedBreath. Thus, can obtain if desired the one group information relevant to the manufacture of each product or management. In addition,The information of the intrinsic content that each product is given is respectively not limited to model, manufactures lot number, dispatches from the factoryThe combination of numbering. As other examples, the information that each product is given is inherently sometimes also for product connectsContinuous number, also sometimes also for manufacturing mark. In addition, in the time not carrying out bulk management, can be by model andThe combination of factory number is for the manufacture of intrinsic information.

That is, the database in management server 2 is equivalent to " memory cell " of the first technical scheme, itsIn, in this memory cell, store the much information relevant to article associatedly, thus can be forEach article are determined the one group information relevant to these article. Below, should be determined for each productOne group of information is called " manufacture intrinsic information ", by the database of manufacturing in intrinsic information management server 2Also be correspondingly called " manufacturing intrinsic information database (DB) ".

In this embodiment, for each product, the manufacture intrinsic information based on corresponding with this product is carriedGet the code in the source that becomes 2 d code or cognizance code. Fig. 3 illustrates the example that this code extracts.

The manufacture intrinsic information of a product is schematically illustrated as rectangular figure by Fig. 3. Wherein,For this product, by with the information (being referred to as " indivedual information " below) of intrinsic content quitePart mark with filling pattern. Especially, indivedual information that front end represents with oblique line are above-mentioned keywordsInformation. This means, by a key word information, all manufactures that this product is had are solidThere is information association.

In the example of Fig. 3, the specified quantity that comprises key word information in utilization manufacture intrinsic informationInformation, becomes the code (being referred to as " first code " below) in the source of 2 d code, and profitBy the information not being included in this first code, the code that becomes the source of cognizance code (claims below,Be " second code "). In first code, when comprising key word information, also comprise in advanceBe chosen as the common information of indivedual information X. The part not marking with filling pattern in first code,For example also can comprise and the information of manufacturing relevant trackability (traceability), this can review letterXi Shi manufacturer wants the information to external transmission. In second code, comprise and be chosen as in advance indivedual lettersAnother common information of breath Y. The part not marking with filling pattern in second code, for example, compriseManufacture the identification number of day, factory, identification number, the identification number that people is taken in manufacture etc. of production lineThe information that has manufacturer to know. In addition, be not selected as first code and second codeIn other information of object, be included in the information that produces in manufacture process (processing moment in each step,Instrumentation value, check result etc. when inspection), this information producing in manufacture process is that manufacturer prohibitsThe secret information only leaking to outside.

For first code, utilize common coding method to be converted into 2 d code. On the other hand,For second code, implement the conversion process of regulation, make it become the content that does not expose indivedual information Y.For example being encrypted, is then string data by the code conversion after this encryption, and by this character string numberAccording to as cognizance code. For the cognizance code in this generation, the few code of figure place of preference data row.For example,, if the data of second code are converted into 62 systems by implementing ciphered compressed processingData rows, can reduce the figure place of data rows.

As mentioned above, in first code, second code, comprise respectively intrinsic for each productThe information of content, therefore all represents the content that this product is intrinsic, and each code has only one-to-one correspondence.Therefore, according to the cognizance code of second code generation with according to the combination of the 2 d code of first code generationAlso for each product and unique decision. In other words, the 2 d code to each product annotation and identificationThe combination of code is only applicable to respectively this product, and therefore the code of like combinations can not be applicable to other productProduct.

According to code structure as above, can simply and exactly determine the code of forging. For example,In the time carelessly having set the content of 2 d code, the first code reality reading from this 2 d code is not deposited, even if therefore retrieve and manufacture intrinsic information database by this first code, also cannot find and thisThe manufacture intrinsic information that code is corresponding. Therefore, retrieve manufacture according to the reading out data of 2 d code intrinsicInformation database, can judge that by this processing this code is counterfeit.

In addition, when copying the 2 d code of regular product, and change or carelessly set identification generationWhen code, although there is the manufacture intrinsic information corresponding with the first code reading from 2 d code, byThe cognizance code of deriving according to the second code of this Information generation can be not identical with the cognizance code of printing. CauseThis, determine and manufacture intrinsic information according to the reading out data of this 2 d code, and according to this Information generation theTwo codes, afterwards, judge the cognizance code that generates according to this second code whether with the cognizance code of printingIdentical, can judge thus whether the cognizance code of printing is counterfeit.

On the other hand, in the time directly having copied the regular combination of 2 d code and cognizance code, judgementFor its combination itself is correct. But the product with this combination is unique, several users are notCan there is the product of like combinations. Therefore,, when the combination for same code, there are multiple judgements simultaneouslyWhen request, can think that the counterfeit that is printed with its combined code goes on the market. In addition, in order to prevent directlyCopy the regular combination of 2 d code and cognizance code, also consider to carry out in addition following countermeasure: at product100, in certain in packaging or label 101, paste the hologram sealing label (hologramseal) that represents certified products,Or on label with special seal China ink (ink) printing, or form label 101 with special material.

Then,, in the example of Fig. 3, generate first code and second according to different information respectivelyCode, but be not limited to this, as shown in Fig. 4 (1), also can be between each code common portionDivide information. But, about indivedual information Y, need to be set as being only included in second code.

In addition, as shown in Fig. 4 (2), when having cut apart with physics mode and a system that product is correspondingWhile making intrinsic information, also can extract the information and the bag that are included in first code from different information sourcesBe contained in the information in second code. Now, if each information source is associated by common key word information,Can determine simply the second code corresponding with first code.

Fig. 5 illustrates the function relevant to the printing treatment of code in the Articla management system 1 of Fig. 1. At pipeIn reason server 2, except being provided with above-mentioned manufacture intrinsic information database 20, be also provided with receiving and transmitting part21, manufacture intrinsic information reading unit 22, Data Management Department 23 etc. Receiving and transmitting part 21 for printing treatmentCarry out information exchange with terminal installation 40, manufacture intrinsic information reading unit 22 and carry out from manufacturing intrinsic informationDatabase 20 is read the processing of specific manufacture intrinsic information. Data Management Department 23 is according to receiving and transmitting part 21The management data receiving with terminal installation 40 from printing treatment, upgrades corresponding manufacture intrinsic information.

In printing treatment terminal installation 40 (below, be slightly designated as " printing terminal 40 "), be provided withManufacture intrinsic information obtaining section 42, first code generating unit 43, second code generating unit 44, two dimension generationCode generating unit 45, cognizance code generating unit 46, printing control unit 47, management data sending part 48 etc.

Fig. 6 is illustrated in the flow process of run time version printing treatment in printing terminal 40 and management server 2.In figure, print the step (ST) of the processing of terminal 40 sides with the numeric representation of No. 100 sections, with No. 10The step of the processing of numeric representation management server 2 sides of section. In addition, with dotted arrow indication device itBetween the relation of processing.

According to the flow process of Fig. 6, printing place of carrying out by the various functions shown in Fig. 5 is described below,Reason.

First, the manufacture intrinsic information obtaining section 42 of printing terminal 40 receives from not shown production controlThe printing instruction of system processed, request management server 2 sends the manufacture intrinsic information of the product of printing object(ST101). This sends request and for example utilizes the key word information shown in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 to determine transmissionThe information of object.

In management server 2, receive and send request (ST11) by receiving and transmitting part 21, and logicalCross and manufacture intrinsic information reading unit 22 and read asked manufacture intrinsic information (ST12). And then,By receiving and transmitting part 21, read manufacture intrinsic information is back to printing terminal 40.

The manufacture intrinsic information obtaining section 42 of printing terminal 40 receives from the manufacture of management server 2 solidThere is information (ST102), and provide it to first code generating unit 43 and second code generating unit44. First code generating unit 43 is extracted and is comprised key word information and indivedual information X from manufacture intrinsic informationThe information of specified quantity, and to these information according to the rules order arrange etc., thereby generate firstCode (ST103). Second code generating unit 44 is also extracted and is comprised indivedual information from manufacture intrinsic informationThe information of the specified quantity of Y, and to these information according to the rules order arrange etc., thereby generate theTwo codes (ST104).

The first code that first code generating unit 43 generates is provided for 2 d code generating unit 45. TwoDimension code generating unit 45 is encoded to this first code, thereby generates 2 d code (ST105).

The second code that second code generating unit 44 generates is provided for cognizance code generating unit 46. KnowOther code generating unit 46 encryption rule is according to the rules changed this second code, thus generate byThe cognizance code (ST106) that string data forms.

Ensuing ST107 is locating of being carried out by the printing machine 41 shown in printing control unit 47 and Fig. 1Reason. Printing control unit 47 reads in the 2 d code and the cognizance code that in ST105, ST106, generate,And they are offered to printing machine 41. Now, the product 100 of printing object or label 101 are sent to sealBrush machine 41, printing machine 41 will provide the each code coming to be printed on object from printing control unit 47.

The first code that first code generating unit 43 generates is also provided for management data sending part 48.In the time that the code of printing object is output to printing machine 41, management data sending part 48 is correspondingly by firstCode sends to management server 2, as the management data for determining the product finishing printing(ST108). According to this ST108, finish for the processing in printing terminal 40 sides of a product.

The receiving and transmitting part 21 of management server 2 is when receiving the management of sending from management data sending part 48When data, (ST13 is "Yes"), hands to Data Management Department 23 by its management data. Data managementIntrinsic information database 20 is manufactured in portion's 23 retrievals, thereby determines the manufacture intrinsic letter corresponding with management dataBreath (ST14). And then Data Management Department 13 carries out following processing: with the system of this this product of determiningMake intrinsic information store explicitly expression printed the information of code (for example, stick expression " printingBe disposed " mark (flag) etc.) (ST15). According to this ST15, for a productThe processing of management server 2 sides also finishes.

In addition, the processing in printing terminal 40 is not limited to above-mentioned processing, can be also such flow process,That is, carrying out after the printing treatment of ST107, omitting ST108 and get back to ST101. Now, printing eventuallyEnd 40 can not send to management server 2 in the time that every pair of product carries out printing treatment, and understandsAccumulate in advance the multiple management datas of storage (information that printing treatment is complete) by management data sending part 48And on the opportunity (timing) of regulation, the management data of accumulating storage is sent to management server 2 in the lump.In addition, in management server 2, multiple management datas are carried out to the processing of ST14, ST15.

Fig. 7 illustrates to the code in Articla management system 1 and judges relevant function. At judgement serverIn 3, be provided with and receive from the judgement request receiving portion 31 of the judgement request of user terminal 7, for to useFamily terminal 7 is returned to the judged result sending part 36 of judged result. And then, be also provided with reading out data and sendPortion 32, result acceptance division 33, cognizance code generating unit 34, judge handling part 35 etc.

In management server 2, be provided with first code obtaining section 24, second code generating unit 25, locateReason result sending part 26 etc. And then, participate in the Data Management Department 23 of printing treatment and manufacture intrinsic letterBreath database 20 is also processed for code judgement.

Fig. 8 illustrates for code judgement and processes, in judgement with holding in server 3 and management server 2The flow process of the processing of row. In this Fig. 8, with the numeral judgement of No. 200 sections by server 3 sidesThe step of processing, with the step of the processing of numeral management server 2 sides of No. 20 sections. In addition,Same with Fig. 6, by the relation of the processing between dotted arrow indication device.

According to the flow process of Fig. 8, the judgement processing of carrying out by the various functions shown in Fig. 7 is described below.

Ask correspondingly to start to judge the processing by server 3 sides with receive judgement from user terminal 7, itsIn, described judgement request comprises and represents the reading out data of 2 d code and the character string number of cognizance codeAccording to. Judge that request receiving portion 31, in the time receiving this request, individually extracts respectively reading out data and knowledgeOther code (ST201,202). In addition, below for convenient, by the identification of extracting from judgement requestCode is called " cognizance code (A) ".

The reading out data of 2 d code is handed to reading out data sending part 32, and is sent to management service2 (ST203). The first code obtaining section 24 of management server 2 receives these reading out datas and by its workFor first code, handed to Data Management Department 23 (ST21).

In Data Management Department 23, key word information contained in provided first code is known, and according to this key word information do not retrieve and manufacture intrinsic information database 20 (ST22). When canWhile extracting the manufacture intrinsic information corresponding with key word information by this retrieval, further relatively carryThe manufacture intrinsic information of getting and the overall structure of first code. Its result, when first code with manufacture intrinsicWhen corresponding part in information is in full accord, checks in the manufacture intrinsic information extracting and whether writeThe information (ST24) of " printing treatment is complete ".

In the time failing to extract the manufacture intrinsic information corresponding with first code (in the time that ST23 is "No"),Although or extracted corresponding information, manufacture in intrinsic information and do not write " printing treatment at itComplete " information time (in the time that ST24 is "No"), Data Management Department 23 and result sending part26 get in touch, and make result sending part 26 that the code that represents " NG " is sent to service for judgementDevice 3 (ST27).

On the other hand, the manufacture intrinsic information that comprises the content identical with first code when extraction and at thisWhile writing the information of " printing treatment is complete " in information (in the time that ST23, ST24 are "Yes"),This manufacture intrinsic information is offered second code generating unit 25 by Data Management Department 23. Second code generatesThe rule of portion 25 based on same with the second code generating unit 44 of printing terminal 40 sides, according to provideManufacture intrinsic information generate second code (ST25). Result sending part 26 is by this second generationCode sends to judgement server 3 (ST26).

Management server 2 sides for from judgement send reading out data with server 3 processing to above-mentionedST26 or ST27 finish. The data that send are read into the judgement result of server 3 and connectReceipts portion 33.

In the time that result acceptance division 33 receives the second code of sending from management server 2 (whenWhen ST204 is "Yes"), this second code is provided for cognizance code generating unit 34. Cognizance code is rawThe encryption rule of one-tenth portion 34 based on identical with the cognizance code generating unit 46 of printing terminal 40 sides, to theTwo codes are encrypted, thereby generate cognizance code (ST205). Below, will utilize from this managementThe cognizance code that the second code of server 2 generates is called " cognizance code (B) ".

Judge handling part 35 read in by judge the cognizance code that request receiving portion 31 extracts (A) and byThe cognizance code (B) that cognizance code generating unit 34 generates, and both (ST206) are checked.Check by this, in the time that two codes are consistent (in the time that ST207 is "Yes"), judge handling part 35The code of " OK " is provided to judged result sending part 36, and makes judged result sending part 36 by itGive user terminal 7 (ST208). On the other hand, in the time that two codes are inconsistent (when ST207 isWhen "No"), judge that handling part 35 provides the code of " NG " to judged result sending part 36, andMake judged result sending part 36 send it to user terminal 7 (ST209).

On the other hand, when result acceptance division 33 is not to receive 2 d code but receive " NG "Code time (in the time that ST204 is "No"), this code is handed to judges handling part 35. NowJudgement handling part 35 do not carry out collation process, and provide " NG " to judged result sending part 36Code, and make judged result sending part 36 send this code (ST209).

In the time that the transmission processing of ST208 or ST209 finishes, judge that handling part 35 is by sentencing of having sentDisconnected result and various information relevant to this judgement (reading out data, cognizance code (A) (B) etc.) oneRise and be saved in (ST210) in not shown memory. According to this processing, for from user terminal 7The processing of judgement request finish.

In addition, in the example of above-mentioned Fig. 7, Fig. 8, for the reading out data with server 3 from judgementTransmission, send second code from management server 2, but in order to make the safeguard protection of second code become perfectly safe, also can set in management server 2 sides the systematic function of cognizance codes, and with transmissionCognizance code (B) is correspondingly returned in the processing of reading out data.

According to a series of processing shown in Fig. 8, if judge, the product of object is regular product, fromThe cognizance code (A) extracting in judgement request and according to giving birth to from the second code of management server 2The cognizance code (B) becoming must be consistent, for judgement request, sends the judged result of " OK ".

On the other hand, when judging that the product of object is counterfeit, from a certain product copy 2 d code and HuWhile disorderly having rewritten cognizance code, cognizance code (A) and cognizance code (B) are inconsistent, to user terminal7 send the judged result of " NG ".

In addition, although the situation that exists 2 d code to be forged, general in the situation that, can be recognizedFor the manufacture intrinsic information corresponding with the 2 d code of forging do not exist. Therefore, for using and serve from judgementThe reading out data that device 3 sends, cannot extract corresponding information in management server 2 sides, returns to " NG "Code, user terminal 7 is also sent to the judged result of " NG ". In addition, though once in a while exist withManufacture intrinsic information corresponding to 2 d code of forging, owing to manufacturing the second code in intrinsic information at itIn contained indivedual information Y be kept at and manufacture in intrinsic management server 2, therefore can think the third partyThe possibility that obtaining these indivedual information Y derives correct cognizance code exists hardly. Therefore, with knowledgeThe situation that other code is forged is same, in cognizance code (A) and the inconsistent shape of cognizance code (B)State, therefore still sends " NG " to user terminal 7.

Like this, according to the judgement processing of said system, can simply and exactly judge that whether code is correct.

In addition, in above-mentioned Articla management system 1, be provided with two servers 2,3, management server 2Participate in the processing of two kinds of codes of printing and judge these two kinds of processing of the whether correct processing of printed code,But also server 2,3 can be made of one.

In addition, also can be substituted in and in same system, carry out two kinds of processing, and separate according to contents processingSystem. Now, if can guarantee the safety of second code, also can from the system of printing treatment side toJudge that the system of side sends first, second code of the each product finishing printing, and they are accumulated to storageIn the system that judges side. Now, judge that the system of side has " memory cell, in this memory cell,Respectively for the multiple regular article that are marked with the optical information code that represents first code, with the first generationCode stores second code accordingly, and wherein, described first code represents intrinsic content, and described secondCode be utilize the one group information relevant to these article generate, and described second code comprise this oneEach article in group information information of intrinsic content respectively, the information that described second code comprises is notBe included in first code, and described second code is to be converted to and optics by the conversion process of regulationThe character string that message code is labeled together ".

In addition, above-mentioned Articla management system 1 is using electronic unit as object, still to beyond electronic unitArticle (brand-name goods, the credit card etc.) system that also can construct same structure. Now, according to differenceArticle, also can there is the situation that does not produce various indivedual information as the situation of electronic unit, still,For example, by generating multiple random numbers and combining their method, can generate respectively each article solidThe information of some contents, and use their indivedual information Y as second code.

In addition, in the above-described embodiments, for manufacturing intrinsic information, all in management server 2, enterLine pipe reason, but for the information that forms first code, also can be in management server 2 position in additionCopy and preserve. For example, if object is large item, also can be for each article by structureBecome the information of first code be stored in the storage mediums such as RFID label and be attached to objectUpper, thus in the way of deriving to printing machine, read first code.
