It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the invention, are within the scope of the invention.

The invention provides an identification feature composite structure, which comprises a substrate layer containing a first identification feature carrier, a second identification feature body, a pattern area and a password information area. The first identification feature carrier is provided with a disordered pattern on the surface of the base layer; the second identification feature has a predetermined length, width and thickness, and is at least partially embedded within the base layer; the pattern area is arranged on the surface of the second identification characteristic body, the pattern area comprises a pattern combination which is arranged according to a preset rule and used for recording data symbol information, and the pattern combination can be read and identified by an image input device or a photoelectric scanning device; the password information area contains password information.

The graphic combination of the graphic area can be read by general or special equipment, and the data symbol information recorded by the graphic combination can be obtained, and the information can be a channel for further obtaining the required information. And after the password information recorded in the password information area is acquired, the password information is input through the channel to obtain the unique discrimination characteristic information corresponding to the password information.

Referring to fig. 1-3, fig. 1 is a schematic illustration of a composite structure of identification features in an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic illustration of a first identification feature carrier 10 of fig. 1, and fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of the distribution of the first identification feature carrier 10 within a substrate layer 100.

In this embodiment, the composite identification feature structure includes a substrate layer 100, a second identification feature 200, a graphic area 300, a first password information area 410, and a second password information area 420, with a plurality of first identification feature carriers 10 contained within the substrate layer 100. The substrate layer 100 is paper-based and may be produced by papermaking equipment, and has a certain thickness and strength. The first identification feature carrier 10 is a hexagonal sheet structure randomly dispersed within and integral with the substrate layer 100. The substrate layer 100 containing the first identification feature carrier 10 is obtained by adding the first identification feature carrier 10 to the stock material during the production of the substrate layer 100 and forming and drying. The second identification feature 200 is a strip-like sheet that is also secured within the substrate layer 100 during the manufacturing process of the substrate layer 100 and has one surface exposed outside the substrate layer 100. The second identification feature 200 has a plurality of first password information areas 410 and second password information areas 420 disposed on a surface thereof, which are also exposed outside the base layer 100. The above structure will be further explained below.

The substrate layer 100 is a paper product of fibrous structure and may be made of paper pulp. The pulp is continuously passed through a sizing apparatus onto a cylinder or fourdrinier wire, whereupon the pulp is gradually dewatered to form a wet web, which is then dewatered by means of roll presses. Only a part of the water on the paper web can be removed by means of mechanical pressure, which subsequently needs to be dried by a drying cylinder. The substrate layer 100 may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. When the substrate layer 100 is a multilayer structure, the fibers of each layer may differ in length or arrangement.

The first signature carriers 10 may be mixed into the stock pulp in advance during the manufacture of the substrate layer 100, and a plurality of first signature carriers 10 may be randomly distributed within the final formed substrate layer 100. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view of the first identification feature carrier 10 of fig. 1. The first identification feature carrier 10 is a hexagonal sheet structure having an upper surface 11 and a lower surface 12. The substrate layer 100 itself has a degree of transparency, and more or less of the first identification feature carriers 10 distributed within the substrate layer 100 can be viewed/photographed.

Because the first identification feature carriers 10 are randomly distributed within the substrate layer 100, each first identification feature carrier 10 has a unique orientation within the substrate layer 100 and the positional relationship between any two first identification feature carriers 10 is also different, thereby forming a unique pattern that can be viewed and photographed. Also, the first identification feature carrier 10 is an object separate from the base layer 100 and may be separated from the base layer 100. The unique pattern can be reproduced by copying, but the area representing the first identification feature carrier 10 cannot be separated from the reproduced pattern. The first identification feature carrier 10 may be made of paper, plastic, metal or composite material having a fiber structure, and the first identification feature carrier 10 may have a shape with a uniform thickness or may have a certain difference.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic illustration of the distribution of the first identification feature carrier within the substrate layer 100. The base layer 100 includes a plurality of first identification feature carriers, and the plurality of first identification feature carriers have different directional positional relationships with the surface of the base layer 100. The first identification feature carrier 10a is entirely within the substrate layer 100, with the upper surface of the first identification feature carrier 10a having an angle of about 15 degrees with the surface of the substrate layer 100. The first identification feature carrier 10b is parallel to the upper surface of the substrate layer 100 and has one surface flush with the upper surface of the substrate layer 100. The first identification feature carrier 10c is also located entirely within the substrate layer 100, but is located further from the upper surface of the substrate layer 100 than the first identification feature carrier 10 a. For the reasons described above, the first identification feature carriers 10a, 10b and 10c may exhibit different visual effects on the surface of the substrate layer 100, be of different shades of color, transparency and visibility, and may form complex and more random and unique patterns. The first expression feature carriers may be arranged randomly in a full-page manner in the width direction of the base layer, or may be arranged randomly in a predetermined width and a predetermined position range.

The second identification feature 200 is in the form of a band having a thickness of less than 0.02mm and a width of greater than 5mm, and in this embodiment the second identification feature 200 has a width of 6mm and a thickness of 0.01 mm. The numerical values herein are for purposes of illustration and not limitation. The length of the second identification feature 200 is equal to the width of the substrate layer 100, with the segments at the two ends of the second identification feature 200 being located entirely below the surface of the substrate layer 100 and the middle segment not being covered by the weave of the substrate layer 100. The portion of the second identification feature 200 shown in phantom in fig. 1 is hidden within the substrate layer 100.

In this embodiment, the second identification feature 200 is a thin strip made of a metal material, and has a certain strength and surface gloss. The second identification feature 200 is added during the manufacturing process of the substrate layer 100 by a special process, wherein a part of the tape segment is completely located inside the substrate layer 100, and one surface of another part of the tape segment is exposed to the surface of the substrate layer 100. In some alternative embodiments, the second identification feature 200 may also include a magnetic material, a thermally sensitive material, a fluorescent material, a diffractive image surface, or a holographic image surface in its structure.

The graphic area 300 is a rectangular area printed on the surface of the second identification feature 200, and a graphic combination for recording data symbol information is arranged in the area according to a predetermined rule, and the graphic combination is a two-dimensional Code (2-dimensional bar Code) such as a quick response Code (QuickResponse Code) in this embodiment. The two-dimensional code can be a graph obtained according to a two-dimensional code grid matrix code standard (SJ/T11349-2006) or an international standard (ISO/IEC 18004: 2000 bar code symbol technical specification-QR code, namely an automatic identification and data acquisition technology.

The graphic combination may be read by an image input device or an electro-optical scanning device and identify the data symbol information, for example, by scanning the graphic area 300 using a scanning function in a mobile phone WeChat, although a scanning function in Payment software or other general purpose application may also be used to scan the graphic area 300.

The data symbol information recorded in the graphic area 300 may be recognized by the application program and output predefined information, such as jumping to a predetermined website. In some alternative embodiments, the data symbol information recorded in the graphic area 300 may also be time sensitive information or may be information that is only available for reading a limited number of times. In some alternative embodiments, the combination provided in the graphic area 300 may also be a bar code, an encrypted number, a personalized graphic, a pattern, a letter, a number, a letter, and the like.

A first password information region 410 and a second password information region 420 are also disposed on the surface of the second identification feature 200 and adjacent to the graphic region 300. The first password information area 410 contains password information, which may be a key for extracting predetermined information. For example, when a website is jumped to after the graphic region 300 is scanned, the character string described in the first password information region 410 may be input to the website, and predetermined information may be acquired from the website. In particular, the predetermined information may be an electronic picture of the pattern formed by the first identification feature carrier 10 on the base layer 100. After the electronic picture is obtained, the picture can be compared with the pattern on the surface of the substrate layer 100 to determine whether the electronic picture is consistent with the pattern on the surface of the substrate layer. The second password information region 420 may be printed with instructions or prompt information, or the second password information region 420 may be configured with a second key when multiple authentications are required within the website.

In some optional embodiments, after the application scans the graphic area 300, the user may jump to a set website, the website is provided with a query bar, and the password information recorded in the first password information area 410 is input into the query bar of the website, so that the preset authentication information corresponding to the password information may be extracted. If the same password information is input in the query field for query again, the preset verification information is extracted, and the prompt information is output, for example, the word "the key 851a9_3m8 is the 2 nd query".

In some alternative embodiments, only the first password information region 410 may be provided, and the second password information region 420 may not be provided.

As shown in fig. 1, the length of the second identification feature 200 is equal to the width of the substrate layer 100, and the second identification feature 200 includes two authentication units formed by combining a pattern area 300, a first password information area 410 and a second password information area 420, and another authentication unit is a pattern area 300a, a first password information area 410a and a second password information area 420 a. Wherein the graphic area 300a, the first password information area 410a and the second password information area 420a are located inside the base layer 100.

In this embodiment, the composite structure of the identification features shown in the drawings is a partial structure obtained by cutting.

In alternative embodiments, substrate layer 100 may have a greater width and second identification feature 200 may be provided with more authentication units. The second identification feature 200 has a plurality of authentication elements exposed at the surface of the substrate layer 100, and the exposed authentication elements may be adjacent authentication elements or spaced apart. For example, when the first authentication element is exposed, the second authentication element is hidden, the third authentication element is exposed, the fourth authentication element is hidden … …, and so on. Alternatively, the length of the region of the base layer 100 where the authentication units can be exposed is the length occupied by two authentication units, so that two adjacent authentication units can be exposed outside the base layer 100. For example, the area exposed on the base layer for the exposed portion of the authentication unit is 20mm, and the area contained in the paper sheet is 5 mm. The size of the authentication element may vary and therefore there may be one or more of the authentication elements exposed in the 20mm exposed portion area. Also, the cumulative error in the length of the second identification feature 200 due to stretching during the manufacturing process may cause it to be exposed at different locations on the substrate layer. Therefore, the patterns of the authentication elements exposed on the base layer are not necessarily the same.

In other alternative embodiments, the second identification feature 200 is fully embedded within the substrate layer 100, and the portion of the substrate layer 100 overlying the surface of the second identification feature 200 is configured to be non-adherent to the surface of the second identification feature 200 and capable of being separated from the substrate layer along a predetermined path. In other words, the surface of the second identification feature 200 is covered with a layer of easily tearable structure, and the structure is a part of the substrate layer 100, and is integrally formed with the substrate layer 100, rather than being attached to the substrate layer 100 by means of adhesion or the like.

In some alternative embodiments, the password information area is not disposed on the surface of the second identification feature 200, but is printed on the surface of the base layer 100, adjacent to the graphic area 300. Compared with the structure that the password information area is arranged on the second identification feature body 200, the process difficulty of directly arranging the password information area on the surface of the base body layer 100 is low.

In some alternative embodiments, the arrangement of the plurality of first identification feature carriers 10 may also be set according to a predefined rule, and the arrangement of the first identification feature carriers 10 set according to the rule is not repeated, and the pattern combination formed on the surface of the substrate layer 100 by the plurality of first identification feature carriers 10 is also unique.

In alternative embodiments, the first identification feature carrier 10 may also have other shapes, such as rectangular, triangular, square, rectangular, polygonal, circular, fibrous, microspots, etc. The substrate layer 100 may be provided with a carrier of one shape, or may be provided with a carrier of a plurality of shapes, such as a carrier of only a quadrilateral shape, or a mixture of a triangular shape and a quadrilateral shape. In alternative embodiments, the first identification feature carrier 10 may be in the form of either irregular fibers, polygons such as circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, or the like, powders, particles, spheres, cubes, or other irregular cubes, and irregular patterns such as "S", "Y", "W", or the like. The material of the first identification feature 10 may be 30-40 grams of tissue paper, or 8-30 μm PET film.

With the above-described structure, the first identification feature carriers 10 distributed randomly or according to a predetermined rule can form a unique pattern on the surface of the base layer 100, and a copy of the pattern can be obtained only by copying. Moreover, since the first identification feature carrier 10 is embedded in the base layer 100 and tightly bonded to the base layer 100, and can be separated from the base layer 100, the copied pattern has no effect of being separated. Thus, once manufactured, the composite structure of the identification feature cannot take an identical copy. The process of embedding the second identification feature 200 in the substrate layer 100 is also more difficult and the threshold for manufacturing is higher. The process of making the second identification feature 200 with a greater width and providing the patterned area 300 on its surface is also more complex. The structure combining the above-mentioned identification features is difficult to manufacture and cannot be copied.

Referring to fig. 4-6, shown is a front view of the second identification feature 200b of fig. 4 in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, fig. 5 is a perspective view of the second identification feature 200b of fig. 4, and fig. 6 is a schematic view of a composite identification feature structure 500b including the second identification feature 200b of fig. 4.

The second identification feature body 200b is a strip-shaped sheet made of PET material, and the width range can be 3-15 mm, preferably 5.5-9 mm; the thickness can be between 8 and 30 mu m, and is optimized to be 10 to 20 mu m; the material can be transparent or opaque or contain the PET membrane of laser holography. The pattern area 300b of the surface of the PET film is printed with a two-dimensional code, and the first password information area 410b is printed with a password. The second identification feature 200b is partially embedded in the base layer, as shown in the area within the dashed box; the partial segment is exposed to the outside, as shown by the hidden area 500b on both sides of the dashed box. On one side of the second identification feature body 200b, a first identification feature carrier 10d added by directional application is further arranged, and identification feature carriers in various shapes form a strip-shaped area and form information combination with the two-dimensional code. During production, the fixed acquisition area is printed or marked according to the position of a printed matter, the first feature identification in the fixed acquisition area range is photographed, stored and assigned in a detection link, and in the using process, picture information in the first feature fixed area is called through acquiring two-dimensional codes or random patterns of second features and is compared.

The image acquisition technology and the auxiliary hardware equipment can recognize the two-dimension code and take pictures in the variable region, and the corresponding relation between the two-dimension code and the first identification feature carrier is automatically established through an internet software system. All captured images of the two-dimensional code and the first identification feature carrier are stored in a database, or the database is not set up to establish corresponding relation in the form of computer algorithm. When inquiring, different inquiry contents and results can be obtained by using the social general software and the customized special software. Social general software such as WeChat is mainly applied to query of consumers. The special software can be used in factories in various printed matter production links, such as paper mills, printing mills, processing plants and the like, and industrial production management is performed through the contents.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above examples are only intended to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some technical features may be equivalently replaced; and such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the spirit and scope of the corresponding technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
