Description

The present invention relates to an information processing system, a control method for the information processing system, and a program .

In recent years, counterfeit products may appear on the market, and each manufacturer is strengthening measures to prevent counterfeit products from being distributed.

Buyers, on the other hand, want to make sure that the products they buy are not counterfeit. Therefore, there is a system that reads a unique QR code (registered trademark) printed on a packaging material and determines the authenticity of the product, that is, a system that determines the authenticity of the product (Patent Document 1).

There is also a system in which a genuine product identification sticker with an IC chip is attached to a box and read. This genuine product identification sticker is attached to the opening position of the product box, and is a sticker that cannot be used once the product is opened, making it difficult for unauthorized stickers to circulate in the market.

JP 2008-293284 A

However, if the product is not taken out from the unsealing position, another unsealing position is generated, the product is taken out from the other unsealing position, and another product such as a second-hand product is put in, illegal distribution can be performed.

In this case, when the purchaser reads the genuine product determination sticker, the result is returned as a genuine product, which leads to the problem that the purchaser ends up getting a genuine product.

Moreover, it is the actual situation that goods are often purchased at a store. In a system that simply reads the genuine product identification sticker on the box to determine the genuine product, as described above, if a malicious seller uses the product inappropriately, the same sticker will be read and the user will see that the product is genuine. There was a problem that it would lead to selling products under the pretense.
In this way, if the genuine product is determined without checking the product inside the box, the purchaser may be disadvantaged.

The state of 410 will be explained. 410 shows the box 400 in an unopened state.

Box 400 indicates a box containing merchandise (not shown). An unsealing seal 401 is attached to a portion where the box 400 is to be unsealed. In this state, the mobile terminal 100 reads an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip.

When the lid of the box is opened, the opening seal 401 is torn, destroying the RFID chip (including the antenna) and rendering the RFID chip on the opening seal 401 unreadable. That is, once the package is opened, the sell-out registration by reading the RFID cannot be performed.

Since the tamper seal 401 is not manufactured with the same RFID information, the same RFID information cannot be read after unsealing. However, if a malicious person produces an unauthorized tamper seal (copied tamper seal), the tamper seal with the same RFID information may be read on the market. Therefore, by referring to the sellout information 930, non-genuine products can be identified.

The structure of tamper seal 401 is shown at 411 . It consists of release material, adhesive material, base material, antenna, chip, adhesive material, and surface layer material. This release material is peeled off and attached to the box 400 .

The RFID information is, for example, EPC (Electronic Product Code) system information or ucode system information. The release material is peeled off, and the box 400 is attached with an adhesive material. The opening seal 401 has a structure in which when the opening seal 401 is to be peeled off from the box, the opening seal 401 is torn from a slit attached to the opening seal, so that it is difficult to peel off and reuse.
The chip may be a chip using PUF (Physical Unclonable Function) technology.

420 state will be described. 420 indicates the opened state of the box.
The lid of the box 400 has been opened and the tamper seal 401 has been broken. A box 400 contains a card 402 on which a two-dimensional code is printed. The two-dimensional code of this card 402 is photographed by the portable terminal 100 and read.

The two-dimensional code is not limited to being printed on the card 402, and may be a pattern in which a two-dimensional code sticker is pasted on a card or a pattern in which a two-dimensional code sticker is pasted on a warranty card or the like. The configuration may be such that the seal is attached to the product in the box.

Further, in this embodiment, an RFID opening seal 401 is provided outside the box, and a two-dimensional code card is provided inside the box. However, the tamper seal 401 outside the box may be a tamper seal printed with a two-dimensional code, and the card 402 inside the box may be a card containing an RFID chip. Furthermore, both the tamper seal 401 and the card 402 may be of the RFID type. Both the opening seal 401 and the card 402 may be of the two-dimensional code type.
Alternatively, a two-dimensional code of URL information for downloading the reading application may be printed on the RFID opening seal 401 .

Next, the overall processing performed by the mobile terminal 100 and the genuine product determination server 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the overall processing. Note that the detailed processing of FIG. 6 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. FIG.

First, the process of registering sellout information will be described in steps S601 to S606. Also, processing when the sell-out registration button is pressed on the main menu 1001 will be described. Sell-out means that a transfer of value to the final consumer has taken place. Therefore, the registration of the sellout information means that the product is delivered to the final consumer.

For example, when a store clerk reads the unsealed sticker at the store, reads the two-dimensional code on the card after opening the card, and registers the sellout information, the mobile terminal 100 displays that the product is genuine and shows the result to the purchaser. This ensures that the purchaser receives genuine products.
It should be noted that the mobile terminal 100 owned by the purchaser may be used to register the sellout information and display the result of the genuine product.

In step S601, the processor 29 activates a reading application for reading RFIDs and two-dimensional codes. Then, under the control of this reading application, the RFID chip on the tear seal 401 is read via the RFID antenna 27A. The processor 29 acquires RFID information read from the RFID chip and transmits the RFID information to the genuine product determination server 200 .
In step S<b>602 , the CPU 301 receives RFID information from the mobile terminal 100 . CPU 301 stores the received RFID information in RAM 303 .

In step S603, the processor 29 reads the two-dimensional code of the card 402 via the camera 23 under the control of the reading application. The processor 29 acquires two-dimensional code information (for example, an identification number that is a unique value) resulting from the two-dimensional code. Processor 29 transmits the two-dimensional code information to genuine product determination server 200 .

In step S<b>604 , the CPU 301 receives two-dimensional code information from the mobile terminal 100 . CPU 301 stores the received RFID information in RAM 303 .

In step S<b>605 , CPU 301 registers RFID information and two-dimensional code information stored in RAM 303 in sellout information 930 . When registered, result information indicating that the product has been sold out and that it is a genuine product is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 .

In this embodiment, the RFID information and the two-dimensional code information are individually transmitted. It is also possible to determine whether the information and the two-dimensional code information are legitimate information, and register them as a pair in the sellout information 930 if they are determined to be legitimate.

In step S<b>606 , the processor 29 receives the result information from the genuine product determination server 200 and displays the result screen on the display unit 24 . A display example at this time is 1006 in FIG.

Next, the processing for reading the unsealed seal will be described in steps S610 to S618. Also, processing when the unsealed seal determination button is pressed on the main menu 1001 will be described.

In step S<b>610 , the processor 29 acquires RFID information and transmits the RFID information to the genuine product determination server 200 as in step S<b>601 .
In step S<b>611 , the CPU 301 receives RFID information from the mobile terminal 100 .

In step S<b>612 , CPU 301 determines whether or not the received RFID information is registered in sellout information 930 . If it is determined that the RFID information is registered in the sellout information 930, the process proceeds to step S613. If it is determined that the RFID information is not registered in the sellout information 930, the process proceeds to step S616.

In step S<b>613 , the CPU 301 transmits to the mobile terminal 100 result information indicating that the product is a non-genuine product (unauthorized product). Since the RFID information registered in the sell-out information 930 is originally never read again, when the RFID information registered in the sell-out information 930 is received, it is the RFID information of the copied tear seal. Therefore, the product in the box to which the copied tamper seal is pasted is regarded as a non-genuine product, and the result information indicating that it is a non-genuine product is transmitted.
In step S614, the processor 29 receives non-genuine result information.

In step S615, the processor 29 displays information indicating that the product is a non-genuine product on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the received result information. A display example at this time is 1103 in FIG.

In step S616, the CPU 301 transmits to the portable terminal 100 result information indicating that the product is an unopened product. Since the product is not registered in the sell-out information 930, it is a product that has not been sold out. Needless to say, if the box is opened without selling out, there may be RFID information that is not registered in the sellout information 930 .
In step S617, the processor 29 receives result information indicating that the product is unopened.

In step S618, the processor 29 displays information indicating that the product is an unopened and genuine product on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 100 according to the received result information. A display example at this time is 1100 in FIG.

As will be described later, if RFID information that is not registered in the RFID master 910 is received, it means that an unauthorized seal has been read. , to give an indication that it is an incorrect read. At that time, a screen (not shown) indicating that the product is non-genuine is displayed on the display unit 24 .

Next, detailed processing 1 performed by the mobile terminal 100 and the genuine product determination server 200 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing detailed processing 1. FIG.

In step S701, the processor 29 activates a reading application for reading RFIDs and two-dimensional codes.

At step S702, the processor 29 determines whether to read the RFID chip or the two-dimensional code. If the RFID chip is to be read, the process moves to step S703. If the two-dimensional code is to be read, the process moves to step S707. Specifically, when the sell-out registration button or the unsealed seal judgment button is pressed on the main menu 1001 in FIG. 10, the process moves to step S703 to read the RFID. Also, if the two-dimensional code determination button is pressed on the main menu 1001, the process moves to step S707 to read the two-dimensional code.

In step S703, processor 29 reads the RFID chip on tear seal 401 via RFID antenna 27A. A processor 29 obtains the RFID information read from the RFID chip. When reading the RFID information, the screen 1002 in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 100 .

In step S704, the processor 29 reads and acquires the terminal ID (individual identification number) from the ROM 28A. The terminal ID (individual identification number) may be obtained when the reading application is installed, and the terminal ID (individual identification number) held by the reading application may be obtained.
In step S<b>705 , the processor 29 acquires position information via the GPS control unit 40 . Longitude and latitude information, which is the current position of the mobile terminal, can be obtained.
In step S<b>706 , processor 29 transmits read information including RFID information, terminal ID, and position information to genuine product determination server 200 .

At step S707, the processor 29 reads the two-dimensional code on the card 402 via the camera . By recognizing the two-dimensional code, two-dimensional code information obtained from the two-dimensional code (for example, an identification number that is a unique value) is acquired. When reading the two-dimensional code, the screen 1004 in FIG. 10 is displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 100 . Here, since the two-dimensional code reading technology is a known technology, detailed description is omitted, but the two-dimensional code is automatically recognized and the information embedded in the two-dimensional code is acquired.

In the sell-out registration process, when the two-dimensional code reading request from step S717 is received, the screen 1003 in FIG. 10 is displayed at step S707, and the two-dimensional code is read. The screen transitions from 1003 to 1004.

In step S708, the processor 29 reads and acquires the terminal ID (individual identification number) from the ROM 28A. The terminal ID (individual identification number) may be obtained when the reading application is installed, and the terminal ID (individual identification number) held by the reading application may be obtained.
In step S<b>709 , the processor 29 acquires position information via the GPS control unit 40 . Longitude and latitude information, which is the current position of the mobile terminal, can be obtained.
In step S<b>710 , processor 29 transmits read information including two-dimensional code information, terminal ID, and position information to genuine product determination server 200 .
In step S<b>711 , the CPU 301 receives read information from the mobile terminal 100 . The received read information is stored in the RAM 303 .

In step S712, the CPU 301 determines whether it has received information read by reading the RFID chip or information read by reading the two-dimensional code. By determining the RFID information or the two-dimensional code information included in the read information, it is determined which one is read.

If read information is received by reading the RFID chip, the process proceeds to step S713. When the read information obtained by reading the two-dimensional code is received, the processing is shifted to FIG.

In step S713, the CPU 301 determines whether or not the RFID master 910 has received RFID information. The RFID master 910 stores information managed by the manufacturer of the RFID chip. Therefore, it is a master in which positive information is stored.

If it is determined that there is matching RFID information in the RFID master 910, the process proceeds to step S714. If it is determined that there is no matching RFID information in the RFID master 910, the process proceeds to step S718.

In step S<b>714 , CPU 301 determines whether or not the received RFID information is registered in sellout information 930 . If registered in the sellout information 930, the process proceeds to step S719. If not registered in the sellout information 930, the process proceeds to step S715. Note that the case of being registered in the sell-out information 930 is the case of reading an unauthorized tamper seal.

In step S715, the CPU 301 determines whether or not sell-out registration processing is being performed. The sell-out registration process is performed when the sell-out registration button is pressed on the main menu 1001 in FIG. In the case of sell-out registration processing, the processing moves to step S717. In the case of the process of determining whether the product is genuine by reading the unsealed seal, the process proceeds to step S716-1. The process of determining whether the product is genuine is the process when the unsealed seal determination button is pressed on the main menu 1001 in FIG. 10 .

The determination in step S715 may be performed after step S711, and the sell-out registration process and the process of determining whether the product is genuine may be separated. Therefore, the determination procedure of step S715 is not limited.
In step S 716 - 1 , CPU 301 acquires the result information of the genuine unopened product and transmits it to portable terminal 100 .

In step S716-2, the processor 29 receives the result information of the genuine unopened product, and displays the genuine product determination result screen 1100 in FIG.

In step S717, the CPU 301 transmits a two-dimensional code reading request to the mobile terminal 100 in order to read the two-dimensional code, since it is a sell-out registration process.

In step S718, the CPU 301 refers to the exclusion information 940 of FIG. 9 and determines whether or not the exclusion target RFID chip has been read. The exclusion information 940 stores, for example, identification information for specifying an electronic money card. The pattern information of the RFID information used in the electronic money card is stored, and it is checked with the received RFID information to determine whether or not the card is subject to exclusion.
If the RFID information is to be excluded, the process proceeds to step S720. If the RFID information is not to be excluded, the process proceeds to step S719.

In step S719, the CPU 301 determines that the RFID information is unauthorized because the RFID is not an exclusion target, and acquires unauthorized reading result information. The unauthorized RFID information is the RFID information obtained when reading an unauthorized copy of the tamper seal. Needless to say, even if it is not an illegally copied tamper seal, if an IC card not registered in the exclusion information 940 is read, it may be determined as illegal reading.
In step S<b>720 , the CPU 301 acquires the result information of exclusion as the RFID information of exclusion because the RFID is the exclusion target.
In step S<b>721 , the CPU 301 transmits result information to the mobile terminal 100 .

At step S722, the processor 29 receives the result information. If the result information is unauthorized reading result information, the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 100 displays the unauthorized reading determination result screen 1102 in FIG. If the result information is out-of-target result information, the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 100 displays a determination result screen (not shown) indicating that the reading is out-of-target.

Next, detailed processing 2 performed by the mobile terminal 100 and the genuine product determination server 200 following FIG. 7 will be described using the flowchart shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing detailed processing 2. FIG.

In step S801, the CPU 301 refers to the two-dimensional code master 920 and determines whether or not the two-dimensional code master 920 has received two-dimensional code information. The two-dimensional code master 920 stores information managed by the manufacturer of the seal. Therefore, it is a master in which positive information is stored.

If it is determined that the received two-dimensional code information exists (is registered) in the two-dimensional code master 920, the process proceeds to step S805. If it is determined that there is no two-dimensional code information received in the two-dimensional code master 920 (not registered), the process proceeds to step S802.

In step S802, since the two-dimensional code master 920 does not contain the card, the CPU 301 acquires non-genuine product result information by reading the two-dimensional code of a counterfeit card, for example. This acquired non-genuine product result information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 .
In step S<b>803 , the processor 29 receives result information from the genuine product determination server 200 .

In step S804, processor 29 displays a result screen according to the received result information. In step S802, when non-genuine product result information is received, a result screen (not shown) displaying "It is a non-genuine two-dimensional code" is displayed. Note that the result screen of the result information received in steps S807, S809, and S810 will be described in detail in the description of the steps below.

In step S805, the CPU 301 determines whether the RAM 303 stores RFID information to be associated with the two-dimensional code information by sell-out registration processing. If there is no associated RFID information (in the case of two-dimensional code determination processing), the process proceeds to step S808. If there is RFID information to be associated (in the case of sellout information registration processing), the processing moves to step S806.

In step S<b>806 , the CPU 301 acquires RFID information and two-dimensional code information stored in the RAM 303 and registers them in the RFID information 931 and two-dimensional code information 932 of the sellout information 930 . Since the terminal ID is stored in the RAM 303, the RFID information received from the mobile terminal 100 with the same terminal ID is acquired.

At this time, the location information is acquired and the information of the location registered as sellout is registered. Although "prefecture and city" is used in this embodiment, it is not necessary to be limited to this. Longitude and latitude may be stored. The position information 933 may be position information when RFID information is received or position information when two-dimensional code information is received. This is because it is assumed that sellouts are made at the same place.

Moreover, registration of sell-out information can be performed even when position information cannot be acquired. This is because the reading application may be set so that the user does not permit the transmission of the position information.
The sell-out information 930 is further configured to register a registration time 934 and a terminal ID 935 in addition to the location information 933 .

During the process of registering in the sellout information 930, that is, when the two-dimensional code information is transmitted in step S710, the screen 1005 in FIG.

In step S807, the CPU 301 acquires and transmits the result information indicating that the product has been sold out and is genuine. Step 803 receives this result information. In step S804, the result screen of 1006 is displayed on the display unit 24 according to the result information indicating that the product is sold out and genuine.

In step S<b>808 , the CPU 301 determines whether or not the two-dimensional code information is registered in the sellout information 930 . If it is determined that the two-dimensional code information is registered in the sellout information 930, the process proceeds to step S810. If it is determined that the two-dimensional code information is not registered in the sellout information 930, the process proceeds to step S809.

In step S809, since the CPU 301 detects that the two-dimensional code information is not registered, the card that was in the box that had been opened once was read and cannot be guaranteed to be genuine. Acquire and send the result information indicating that there is Step 803 receives this result information. In step S804, the result screen of 1104 is displayed on the display unit 24 according to the result information indicating that determination is impossible, which is transmitted in step S809. At 1104, it is notified that it is not sold out. Also, since the product is not sold out, it is notified that it cannot be determined whether it is a genuine product (it cannot be accurately determined as a genuine product). Since the two-dimensional code is registered in the two-dimensional code master 920, it is notified that the two-dimensional code is valid.

It is not necessary to display all of this notification information, and necessary information is displayed according to the settings of the genuine product determination server 200 and the reading application of the mobile terminal 100 . That is, when the sell-out information is not registered, even if the positive two-dimensional code is read, the notification may be that "genuine product cannot be determined."

In step S<b>810 , the CPU 301 transmits to the portable terminal 100 the result information indicating that the product is a sold-out, opened genuine product because the two-dimensional code information is sold-out. At this time, position information is acquired from the target record of the sellout information 930 and transmitted together. Step 803 receives this result information. In step S804, the result screen of 1105 is displayed on the display unit 24 according to the result information indicating that the product is sold out and opened and genuine. Display the sellout location according to the received location information.
In addition to the sell-out location, the registered time may be displayed as the sell-out time.

Note that the result information acquired in this embodiment is registered as a template of the result information in the genuine product determination server 200 . The result information template may be appropriately set by the administrator of each company for each company that uses the genuine product determination system.

Furthermore, each result screen is held by a dedicated reading application, and the result screen managed by the reading application is called according to each result information (command from the genuine product determination server 200), and displayed on the display unit 24 of the mobile terminal 100. You may take the structure which displays.

In the sell-out registration, RFID reading and two-dimensional code reading are continuously performed. However, if a predetermined time (for example, one minute) elapses from RFID reading to two-dimensional code reading, a timeout occurs and the process is terminated. It may be terminated.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the legitimacy of the article can be confirmed by reading the read objects inside and outside the exterior article. Also, illegal sales can be deterred.
In particular, since sell-out information is used to determine whether or not a product is genuine, it is possible to determine the genuine product more accurately than conventional genuine product determination.
