And acquiring the first source information of the label by using the mobile phone and sending the first source information to the server 4. The mobile phone can scan or input the information in the plane identifier by using a special application program installed, so as to obtain the first source information. The mobile phone can send the first source information to the server 4 for verifying the authenticity by connecting the internet, sending a short message or making a call, and the like, and the server 4 performs primary verification on the authenticity of the product.
When the server 4 receives the first source information sent by the mobile phone and carries out primary verification, the first source information is compared with the pre-stored information, and product information serving as primary verification information is sent to the mobile phone according to the matching condition of the first source information and the pre-stored information. The mobile phone receives the primary authentication information returned by the server 4. The product information comprises product authenticity information or product description information or user information, wherein the product authenticity information is information for identifying the identity of the product or a product authenticity result.
The mobile phone prompts one-time verification information, if the authenticity identification result shows that the product is a counterfeit product, the product can be determined to be the counterfeit product, and the one-time verification information does not need to be sent to the label. If the primary verification information shows that the product is a genuine product, the primary verification information needs to be sent to the self-verification device 2 of the label for secondary verification. As described above, the mobile phone can encrypt the authentication information once and then transmit the encrypted authentication information to the tag authentication apparatus 2.
The mobile phone wirelessly transmits primary verification information such as product authenticity information to the tag self-verification device 2.

The terminal 3 may send the first source information of the label to the server 4 in a visible light manner and receive the primary verification information such as the product authenticity information returned by the server 4.
When the terminal 3 receives the product authenticity information, it can directly prompt the primary verification result such as the authenticity identification result, for example, flashing or sending prompt tone. The result of the secondary verification is sent out by the self-verification device 2 of the label, or the result of the secondary verification is sent back to the terminal 3 by the self-verification device 2 and then is prompted by the terminal 3.

Otherwise, the terminal judges the product as a counterfeit product, and returns product authenticity information representing the counterfeit product to the terminal 3, wherein the product authenticity information may include information of other product identities or specific information agreed in advance.
Or if the product is judged to be a genuine product, an authenticity identification result can be returned to the terminal 3 to indicate the information of the genuine product; if the counterfeit is judged, the authenticity identification result is returned to the terminal 3, and the information of the counterfeit is shown. And after receiving the product authenticity identification result, the terminal 3 sends the product authenticity identification result to a label self-checking device in a visible light mode for secondary verification. The detailed description of the process is omitted here.
When the product authenticity information received by the terminal 3 is directly the authenticity identification result information, the authenticity identification result can be directly prompted, for example, flashing light or sending prompt sound. And sending the authenticity identification result to a self-checking device of the label in a visible light mode for secondary verification according to the requirement.
In order to improve the security and prevent the product from being cracked, the product authenticity information may be encrypted by the visible light identification device and then sent to the terminal 3, for example, an AES encryption algorithm is used. Or the visible light identification device does not encrypt, and sends the encrypted visible light identification device to the label after the terminal 3 encrypts. Or encrypted at both the visible light identification device and the terminal 3.
The product information verification method comprises the following steps: acquiring first source information; carrying out primary verification on the first source information and forming primary verification information; and carrying out secondary verification on the primary verification information to form secondary verification information.
The step of carrying out secondary verification on the primary verification information to form secondary verification information comprises the following steps: the first verification information is acquired through the self-verification device 2 arranged on the label, the second verification is carried out, and the verification result is output.
The self-checking device 2 includes a storage circuit 213A and a comparison circuit 213B, the storage circuit 213A stores the second source information, and the self-checking device 2 performs the secondary verification by comparing the primary verification information and the second source information by the comparison circuit 213B.
The product information verification method further comprises the step of outputting a verification result of the secondary verification according to the secondary verification information. The verification result may be output through the light emitting source 222, the sound emitting device 224, the display device 226, and/or the vibration device.
In addition, the product information authentication method further includes outputting an authentication result of the one-time authentication by the terminal 3 according to the one-time authentication information.
In order to further improve the security, when the first source information is text information or a flat logo, a scratch layer may be further disposed on the surface of the logo providing part 1 to protect the first source information. At this time, the product information verification method further includes scraping off the scratch layer.
The product information verification method of the present application can be implemented by the product information verification system, and the product information verification method of the present application is specifically described below by taking the product information verification system as an example.
The terminal 3 may input a character string or a series of number sequences on a website interface through the internet, or send a short message or make a call to send the first source information of the tag to the server 4. The server 4 receives the first source information of the label sent by the terminal 3, compares the first source information with the pre-stored information, and outputs the first verification information including the product authenticity identification result to the terminal 3 after the first verification. If the information stored in the server 4 is matched with the first source information of the label, the product is judged to be a genuine product, and product authenticity information containing the genuine product is returned to the terminal 3; otherwise, the terminal judges the product as a counterfeit product and returns product authenticity information indicating the counterfeit product to the terminal 3.
The one-time authentication information may include information on the identity of other products or specific information agreed in advance. The product identity information may be a complete product identity information representing a genuine product, or a partial product identity information representing a genuine product, or an information having a certain corresponding relationship with the product identity information.
When the terminal 3 receives the primary verification information including the product authentication result, it can directly present the authentication result itself, for example, flash or send a prompt tone, but whether the authentication result is authentic or not needs to be confirmed after the secondary verification by the verification device 2. The terminal 3 also needs to send the primary authentication information including the result of the authentication recognition to the self-authentication device 2 of the label in a visible light manner. For example, the terminal 3 controls an LED lamp provided in the terminal 3 to emit primary authentication information such as a product authentication result to the self-authentication device 2 by visible light in a stroboscopic manner.
The self-checking device 2 converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and restores the obtained primary checking information. The first verification information is restored and compared with second source information (such as product identity information) of the storage circuit.
When the result of the confirmation is genuine, the LED of the label emits light; and when the result is confirmed to be a counterfeit product, the LED is not driven to emit light, or the buzzer is driven to give an alarm for reminding. Of course, it may be set so that the LED is driven to emit light when the comparison result is a counterfeit.
In addition, the above descriptions of the label, the product packaging system, and the product information verification system are all applicable to the product verification method, and thus, will not be described more.
As can be seen from the above description, the above-described embodiments achieve the following technical effects: because the label comprises the self-checking device, the primary verification information transmitted from the Internet can be verified for the second time through the self-checking device to obtain a verification result of double verification, so that the safety of the information carried on the label in verification can be improved.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
