Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2009-0116681 discloses a system for finding a lost object to an elementary user when an identification tag is issued through a wired / wireless internet and an identification tag is reported by an acquirer when it is lost. The scope of recognition of the product by the tag for the object is limited to the lost object so much.

Korean Patent No. 10-0892882 discloses a unique product code and a terminal unique terminal code of the owner of the article in order to fundamentally block leakage of extremely sensitive personal information such as name, address, social security number, and personal information, and the resulting damage. By registering only to correspond, it provides a method of managing goods that can minimize the exposure of personal information. However, in the registration method for the article, only the article code unique to the article is registered in correspondence with the terminal code, and the registration method for the various articles is not disclosed.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0889038 discloses an apparatus and method for generating a unique identification code for purchase authentication that can automatically process a web-based procedure for generating, issuing, error checking, and analyzing a product identification code. This is a technology for generating and verifying an identification code only for a product purchased to be made available on-line for the purchase authentication part that is performed on-line, which is very limited in that the product identification code can only be used as a specific code for purchase authentication. have.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0844177 relates to a product history management system and method using a serial number, and is a technology that can be applied to a product having a serial number.

Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2004-0052278 relates to a product identification method using a unique identification code. This also recognizes the authenticity of an ordered product by issuing and verifying a unique identification code. Limited to code generation and verification that can be applied by business methods.

In addition to reviewing the above-described conventional technologies, business models implemented through the online product management method and generation and verification of codes, tags, or serial numbers are being developed and are currently in widespread use. However, all products are purchased, A / S, lost, activated, parts exchanged or not, whether the object (item, commodity, product, etc.) is coded, damaged, or has individual product identification instances in the same product family. Integrated and universal product registration methods and systems that can manage the life cycle of products, such as secondhand transactions, have not been developed yet.

1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of registering or recognizing a product on a platform capable of post-management of a product using a mobile device according to the present invention.
2 to 11 illustrate an embodiment of implementing a method of registering or recognizing a product on a platform capable of post-management of a product using a mobile device according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings looks at the method and effect of registering or recognizing the product on a platform capable of the post-management of the product using a mobile device according to the present invention.

1 is a flowchart sequentially illustrating a method of registering or recognizing a product on a platform capable of post-management of a product using a mobile device according to the present invention.

The products disclosed in the present invention are the main targets of industrial products including home appliances, and in general, the product includes various barcodes, for example, one-dimensional barcodes such as US UPC, European EAN, Korean KAN, as well as CODE128 and CODE 39. There are various systems.

In the process of developing a platform that can shoot various barcodes with mobile devices and register them to manage all life cycles from product management, after-sales service and disposal, such as after-sales service. The present invention proposes an initial recognition technique that can register and recognize the.

The product identification generated during the registration and recognition of the product can identify the barcode of the product and automatically register the product, identify the product code, but register when there is no individual instance information, or when the product code is damaged or difficult to check. It can be divided into registration.

In addition, in some cases, it may be necessary to confirm authenticity or authenticity of the product during the registration process of the product, and continuity of product registration may be considered when there is a change in the mobile device.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the method for registering and recognizing a product according to the present invention, a user of a mobile device first selects a bar code registration (S101), step registration (S201), and direct input registration (S301).

When the owner of the mobile device selects the bar code registration (S101), it is commanded to take a picture of the bar code printed on the product, and the captured bar code is transmitted to the server.

The server verifies the identification of the transmitted barcode (S102), and if there is no identification of the barcode, performs a registration procedure by step-by-step registration (S201) or direct input registration (S301).

If there is an identification of the barcode, the process proceeds to step S103 of verifying individual instance identification.

Here, the individual instance means an individual value of a product, and means a value specifying one individual product in a product family of the same model. In other words, if Samsung Electronics produced 200,000 refrigerators of model A, it means a unique value that must identify 1 to 200,000 individual products along with model information of A.

If the individual instance is identified, product registration is automatically completed (S104).

If there is no identification of the individual instance, the server generates its own serial number or asks the manufacturer to send the manufacturer to generate the serial number (S105).

The server can create a virtual serial number and provide it as a follow-up for the product.The unique identifier code of the product is placed in a barcode that contains only the country of manufacture, manufacturer, product standard classification, and product code information of the purchased product. It will be used as information on the life cycle of the product, such as after-sales service, used transactions, and disposal.

Based on the generated serial number, the server automatically generates a two-dimensional bar code having a unique number of the product and transmits it to the owner of the mobile device for confirmation (S106). In this case, the 2D barcode image transmitted to the mobile device may be implemented to be stored only in the server, not stored in the mobile device.

After confirmation of the two-dimensional barcode product is registered and managed in the server (S107).

Next, when the owner of the mobile device selects the registration method of the product step by step (S201) or determines that there is no identification of the barcode in the bar code registration (S101) step (S102) step by step registration (S201) is selected.

Subsequently, the server sequentially displays the information from the upper information of the product to the lower information so as to identify the corresponding product so as to be selected by the owner of the mobile device (S202).

The information on the product may be a method of providing the information from the upper information such as the country of manufacture / manufacturer / type of product (eg, Korea / Samsung Electronics / home appliances / TV) in order of lower information and inputting them step by step.

In this case, if there is no information related to the corresponding product, a direct input registration (S301) is requested (S203), and when selection is completed sequentially from upper information to lower information about the corresponding product, the server automatically selects a serial number for the corresponding product. It generates (S105) and automatically generates a two-dimensional bar code for the product based on the serial number (S106), and completes the registration of the product (S107).

Next, when the owner of the mobile device selects the direct input registration (S301) as the registration method of the product or determines that there is no identification of the barcode (S102) or determines that there is no corresponding information of the product information (S203) Direct input registration (S301) Is selected, the mobile device owner directly inputs information about the product (S302) and likewise, the server generates a serial number (S105), and based on this, generates a two-dimensional barcode for the product (S106) to register the product. To complete (S107).

2 to 11 illustrate an embodiment of implementing a method of registering or recognizing a product on a platform capable of post-management of a product using a mobile device according to the present invention.

2 to 4 are diagrams illustrating a product registration implementation in a case where there is a code identification of a product and individual instance identification, and the drawings leading to FIGS. 2 to 5 are code identification of a product but no individual instance identification. 2, 3, and 6 to 8 are examples of product registration implementations in the case where there is no code identification and individual instance identification of a product.

9 to 11 are exemplary implementation diagrams for authenticity of the product.

First, let's look at the case of product code identification and individual instance identification.

Referring to FIG. 2, there is an icon for registering a product on a mobile device, and when it is executed, a barcode registration 201, step-by-step registration 202, direct input registration 203, and authenticity check 204 are provided. Is displayed.

In this case, when the barcode registration 201 is selected, the barcode is photographed together with the command to photograph the barcode 301 as shown in FIG. 3, and the code value for the barcode is transmitted to the server simultaneously or sequentially.

Referring to FIG. 4, when the barcode is identified and the individual instance is identified, a code value display unit 401 displaying a barcode type, a manufacturer, a country of manufacture, a production date, and a product type, as shown in FIG. 4, and a serial number of the product The displayed serial number display unit 402, the serial number generation icon 403 and the registration icon 404 may be displayed, and the product is automatically registered.

Next, let's consider a case where there is a code identification of a product but no individual instance identification.

Referring to FIG. 2, there is an icon for registering a product on a mobile device, and when it is executed, a barcode registration 201, step-by-step registration 202, direct input registration 203, and authenticity check 204 are provided. Is displayed.

In this case, when the barcode registration 201 is selected, the barcode is taken with the command to photograph the barcode as shown in FIG. 3, and the code values for the barcode are transmitted to the server simultaneously or sequentially. The server determines the identity of the barcode and the identity of the individual instance based on the transmitted code value.

Subsequently, referring to FIG. 5, in the case of identifying the barcode and not identifying the individual instance, as shown in FIG. 5, a code value display unit 501 displaying a barcode type, a manufacturer, a manufacturing country, a manufacturing date, and a product type, and a serial number of a product The serial number error display unit 502 displaying an error of the serial number generation icon 503 and the registration icon 504 may be displayed.

By executing the serial number generation icon 503, the server generates and transmits a virtual serial number to have individual instances of the corresponding product, and an image as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, and the confirmation icon 403 and the registration icon 404 are displayed. The implementation registers the product.

Next, consider the case where the product's code identity and individual instance identity are both missing.

Referring to FIG. 2, there is an icon for registering a product on a mobile device, and when it is executed, a barcode registration 201, step-by-step registration 202, direct input registration 203, and authenticity check 204 are provided. Is displayed.

In this case, when the barcode registration 201 is selected, the barcode is taken with the command to photograph the barcode as shown in FIG. 3, and the code values for the barcode are transmitted to the server simultaneously or sequentially. The server determines the identity of the barcode and the identity of the individual instance based on the transmitted code value.

6, when there is no identification of the barcode and the identification of the individual instance, as shown in FIG. 6, the non-identification message 601 indicating that there is no identification of the barcode is loaded.

After the message is loaded, the owner of the mobile device may execute the retry icon 602 to reconfirm whether or not the barcode is recognized, and may also perform the step-by-step registration procedure by executing the manual registration icon 603.

When the manual registration icon 603 is executed, a registration initial screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed. Then, when step-by-step registration 702 is selected, a screen is displayed to sequentially select from upper information to lower information about the corresponding product. Select the information presented by step by step to register. In the illustrated example of FIG. 8, when the car product is selected by the information icon 801 and the manufacturer of the car is selected, a scroll 803 is provided so that a plurality of car manufacturers can display information 802 on the screen and scroll it. Can be.

When the registration of the information on the product is completed step by step through this process, the server generates the serial number by itself or requests the manufacturer to generate it, and then receives and transmits the two-dimensional barcode on the product. Create a complete product registration.

With reference to Figures 9 to 11 look for inquiries such as counterfeit goods or stolen products.

9 to 11 is a service provided in addition to the bar code registration (901), step-by-step registration (902) and direct input registration (903) of the product.

Referring to FIG. 9, the owner of the mobile device selects the authenticity check 904 to check whether the product is genuine, identifies the product through the barcode 1001, and sends data to the server (see FIG. 10). If you manage the number, register the information.

In the case of a product already registered, give the fact that it is registered, and at the same time keep in mind the possibility of the product, giving a hologram or other relevant information including the image to identify the product.

A barcode or authenticity check 904 service is selected (see FIG. 9), and the barcode or product name and code are transmitted to the server (see FIG. 10).

If the server transmits the information to the manufacturer / supplier or requests the inquiry service based on the transmitted information, the server checks whether the product code is in the normal distribution code through its own database.

In the case of a normal product, the product may be returned as genuine or in case of doubt, a request may be made to the requesting server or the owner's mobile device of the requesting party, along with photographs and textual information, for further verification of the authenticity.

Automatically generate and drop the relevant information in real time with 2D barcode including related information.If necessary, the product warranty image can be generated in real time, and the requested user information can be automatically inserted to generate or confirm as an image file.

Through this information, the server guides the information of the corresponding product through the code value display unit 1101 related to the corresponding product as shown in FIG. 11, and notifies the serial number of the corresponding product through the serial number display unit 1102.
