1 and 2 show the configuration of the present invention, and when the components of the present invention are classified, the product ID recording medium 10, the recording medium discrimination apparatus 20, and the central processing unit 30 are largely classified as hardware components. )

The product ID recording medium 10 records a producer code and a genuine identification code and operates by receiving power from a magnetic field generated by the product record determining device 20. The recording medium determining device 20 operates the product ID recording medium. The record stored in (10) is read and transmitted to the central processing unit 30. The central processing unit 30 stores the source data of the product ID and stores the source if there is a request for confirmation from the recording medium discrimination apparatus 20. The data is compared with the input read data to determine whether there is a match and then retransmitted to the recording medium discrimination apparatus 20. Then, the user can check the authenticity of the recording medium by looking at the apparatus 20 for determining.

The data transmission technology between the recording medium determination device 20 and the CPU 30 may be easily implemented based on a real-time communication environment using a technology such as wired or wireless communication.

The product ID recording medium 10 is a form of automatic information recognition using radio frequency (RF) and is made of an RFID chip which is a kind of sensor tag (TAG) using an RF system, and the data storage material is a PROM type. If so, it should not be modified again. In FIG. 2, the product ID recording medium 10 is attached to the bag 200, the shoe 300, or the like.

That is, there are many materials such as ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, or RAM in the storage material for storing data. However, in this design, once the data is stored, it cannot be modified again to prevent the manipulation of information. Use PROMs that are widely known to be impossible.

Of course, the product ID recording medium 10 has a capacity of writing and erasing information in the form of RAM, so that detailed information of the product (expiration date, manufacturer, date of manufacture, usage, precautions, etc.) and the consumer should be informed. You can save your details.

In addition, a producer code and a genuine identification code are input to the product ID recording medium 10. The producer code is a code of characteristics necessary for distribution, such as a production place, a production date, and an expiration date, and the genuine identification code is a serial number of a product. And the unique code of the IC chip.

The recording medium determining device 20 extracts the code inputted from the product ID recording medium 10 and transmits the code to the central processing unit 30, and includes a read program code for reading the contents of the recording medium. In addition, the transmission program code for the data transmission to be carried out by wired or wireless communication to the read content is included, and also includes an output program code for outputting the content re-transmitted from the central processing unit 30 to the display window. 2 shows that the recording medium discrimination apparatus 20 is mounted on the cellular phone or PDA phone 100.

The recording medium discrimination apparatus 20 may be attached to the communication means 100 to lead the contents of the chip, or may be present in the form of a device having an independent display device, which are RS232C communication terminals of the wired / wireless terminal device. Access to read the contents of the product ID record carrier and display the data transmission and reception status and authenticity on the display window.

That is, when the recording medium discrimination apparatus 20 is manufactured in an independent form, a read program chip, a wired / wireless transmission device, and a display window are provided in its own hardware device, and the control device reads data from the read chip. Code, and a data transmission program code for transmitting data to the central processing unit and an output program code for receiving the comparison data from the central processing unit and outputting the result to the display window, but are mounted and used in a device such as the communication means 100 or the like. If the paper is manufactured in an additional form, only the read chip is used, and the data read from the read chip is controlled by the central processing unit using a wireless transmission system already installed in the mobile phone under the control of the control unit of the communication means 100. Communicate with and display the result on the display of the mobile phone.

Therefore, when the recording medium discrimination apparatus 20 is attached to the communication means 100 and used, the contents (serial number) of the recording medium can be read out through the display window of the communication means 100, and the central processing unit ( The content transmitted from the 30) is applied to the communication means 100 to immediately check whether or not the authenticity through the display window of the mobile phone.

To this end, the operator mounts the data necessary for the RFID tag and at the same time, the source data is stored in the central processing unit 30 so that the distributor and the authenticity can be compared and searched with the contents stored in the central processing unit 30.

The biggest feature of the present invention is that the RFID tag must be manufactured in the chip production plant, which means that the conventional forgery is made secretly in a relatively small factory. It is because production is possible in our country unless there are few relatively large enterprises, and therefore, it is almost impossible to forge the IC chip of the present invention so that counterfeiting is virtually completely blocked.

In other words, there are only a few companies that transmit in our country, and not many in the world, because the production of IC chips requires facilities with huge capital investment.

Therefore, since the RFID tag used in the present invention is equipped with a unique serial number and has only one ID in the world and can not be erased or overwritten after it is manufactured, the forgery company does not steal the original chip. Basically you can't do a forgery.

Of course, the above-mentioned conglomerates have a relatively thorough complementary relationship, so the accident of leaking the original chip will be minimal, and the goods manufacturer hands over the data to be put into the RFID chip to the service provider, and then hands over the RFID chip loaded with the data. The serial number and authenticity can be connected to the central processing unit 30 and checked.

In addition, the present invention subscribes to the homepage created by the service provider of the central processing unit to create and register a personal account, and the service provider for performing a loss registration on the homepage for a lost product among the registered products in conjunction with the product data server Lost registration is performed.

When a third party acquires this product and accesses the central processing system to verify the authenticity with his or her communication terminal, the number and location of the third party's communication means are transferred to the lost registrant or police station to allow the collection of the lost items. Can be.

That is, if the serial number is obtained from the product ID recording medium 10 by using the recording medium discrimination apparatus 20 and the registered number is registered, the central processing unit may request a genuine inquiry request with the same number when it is lost. It can be immediately recognized and notified to individuals or to the police station.

As a result, the present invention receives an RFID chip which is a product ID recording medium 10, a recording medium determining device 20 for checking the contents of the recording medium, and receives a serial number from the recording medium determining device 20. It consists of a central processing unit 30 to determine the authenticity can be quickly identified whether the authenticity of the product by a very simple system.

In addition, in the present invention, by designing a single RFID chip that supports different frequency bands to have a special advantage of the different frequency bands so that it can be used in a variety of ways, such as distribution, logistics, process management.

In addition, the recording medium discrimination device 20 is designed as a mobile phone accessory so that it can be stored by connecting to the accessory attachment ring so that there is no objection to the consumer, and the recording medium discrimination device 20 is coupled with the battery of the mobile phone and PDA or communication. It can be embedded and mounted inside the means 100.
