Description

METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR DETECTING REPLICA BY INDIVIDUAL KEY FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]

The present invention relates to a fake product discovery system, method and program.

As fake or counterfeit goods are harmed to both consumers and producers (manufacturers), each local governments has recently cracked down on the illegal distribution of counterfeit goods distributed in expensive luxury brand markets. However, There is a limit in blocking distribution.

Since the development of counterfeiting technology makes it difficult for consumers to identify counterfeit goods by the naked eye, recently, manufacturers have developed anti-counterfeiting devices or genuine goods identification devices that can discriminate the authenticity of products by combining various scientific technologies .

However, even if there is such an anti-counterfeiting system, there is a problem that a consumer who understands the anti-counterfeiting system does not easily understand how to identify a counterfeit article, or a separate apparatus or an expensive system is required for separate identification.

In addition, there are many cases where counterfeit goods (for example, overseas food products, cosmetics, etc.) are produced and distributed as well as high-priced luxury goods.

The present invention seeks to provide a fake product discovery system, method, and program for discovering counterfeit goods in the event that counterfeit product distributors establish the same procedure as the activation procedure to distribute the counterfeit goods.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a system, method, and program for preventing a fake product from being attached to a fake product with the same product activation code.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other problems which are not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

A method for discovering a counterfeit product based on a private key according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a private key issuing step of generating a private key by issuing a private key to a client upon receiving a specific activation code confirmation request; Concurrently or sequentially receiving an activation code for one or more articles to match the activation key and a corresponding private key to a client that transmitted the activation code; And generating an article list matched with the private key and providing the article list to a client corresponding to the private key, wherein the private key includes a specific client and an activation code in the activation server, And the key data to be given to a specific client in order to form a matching relationship between the received request and the article.

The private key issuing step may include: receiving, by the activation server, an activation code obtained from a client; The activation server sending a private key provision request to a client; If the client holds a private key, the activation server receiving private key data from the client; When the client does not hold the private key, the activation server receives the private key issuance request data from the client; And receiving the private key issuance request data, the activation server generates and transmits a new private key that is not duplicated with a private key previously assigned to another client by the client.

The activation code verification request may be obtained by obtaining an identification mark attached to the article by the client and transmitting the activation code extracted in the identification mark to the activation server.

In addition, the identification mark may be a QR code provided in the article itself or the article package.

The method of claim 1, further comprising: if the user has a different number of items on the article list than the actual number of purchased articles, receiving, by the activation server, a counterfeit product suspicion report from the client, And may include store information.

The method may further include determining that the product is a genuine product and determining that the past purchased product is a counterfeit product if the sales store of the product corresponding to the counterfeit product suspicion report is a formal store.

The article list providing step may include receiving an article list providing request from the client connected to the activation page based on the URL of the activation page without obtaining the activation code from a specific article; Receiving, by the activation server, a private key stored in the client; And extracting the article list matched with the private key and providing the extracted article list to the client.

In the private key issue step, the activation server issues a universal key based on a Universal Unique Identifier assigned to the client.

In addition, if the activation code verification procedure is performed for one or more different articles by a plurality of clients, the activation server creates and provides a member account according to a user's request; Receiving a private key of a plurality of clients connected to the member account by the activation server; And connecting the activation code matched to each private key to the member account.

Generating a random key having a predetermined number of digits; Confirming whether the random key has already been generated and matched to a particular article; If the random key corresponds to a newly generated key, matching the random key with a new product and assigning the random key to the activation code; And re-executing generation of the random key if the random key corresponds to the already generated key.

A private key-based fake product discovery program according to another embodiment of the present invention is combined with hardware to execute the above-mentioned method of detecting a fake product based on a client key, and is stored in a medium.

According to the present invention as described above, the following various effects are obtained.

First, even if the same procedure as the activation procedure is separately constructed for the counterfeit product, the purchaser can recognize the fact that the counterfeit product is purchased, so that the counterfeit merchant can be identified and counterfeit goods transaction can be eliminated.

Second, counterfeit merchants can not identify the rules for creating activation codes, so counterfeit goods can be prevented from becoming genuine.

To fully disclose the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in a sense commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Also, commonly used predefined terms are not ideally or excessively interpreted unless explicitly defined otherwise.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. The terms " comprises "and / or" comprising "used in the specification do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements in addition to the stated element.

Herein, the article refers to each specific item. In this specification, a commodity is meant to encompass articles of the same kind. For example, if a pack product of a particular company is a commodity, each pack produced and distributed may correspond to the commodity.

In this specification, the term " client " means a device possessed by a user that includes or installs a specific program and performs computation processing. The ' client ' includes all of the various devices that can perform computational processing to provide results to the user. For example, the computer may be a smart phone, a tablet PC, a cellular phone, a personal communication service phone (PCS phone), a synchronous / asynchronous A mobile terminal of IMT-2000 (International Mobile Telecommunication-2000), a Palm Personal Computer (PC), a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like. The 'client' performs data communication with the activation server 100 through wireless communication.

In the present specification, the 'Individual Key' is key data for accumulating an article (for example, an article purchased) that has been activated for each individual. The 'private key' is key data that is given to a specific client that the user has. That is, the 'private key' is key data given to a specific client in order to form a matching relationship between a specific client and an article requested to be activated in the authentication server.

In the present specification, the 'activation code 10' means code data to be given to each article that is genuine in order to check whether it is a genuine article.

In the present specification, the "falsification authentication code (20)" is code data assigned to a counterfeit product and means a code stored in the counterfeit authentication server.

In this specification, 'identification mark' means a mark that is generated based on the activation code 10 or the forgery authentication code 20 and attached to an individual article. Further, the 'identification mark' means that the identification mark is recognized by the client and the activation code 10 or the counterfeit authentication code 20 is provided to the client. The identification code generated based on the forged authentication code 20 can be produced in the same form as the identification mark generated based on the activation code 10 by the counterfeit manufacturer so that the user can not recognize whether or not the user is a counterfeit .

In the present specification, the 'activation server' means a server connected based on the activation code 10 assigned to the genuine product.

In this specification, the 'fake authentication server' means a server connected based on the fake authentication code 20 given to the fake article. The 'forged authentication server' can be implemented by the counterfeit manufacturer to perform the same process as the activation server operated by the genuine manufacturer.

In the present specification, the 'activation page' 400 refers to a page provided to the client by accessing the activation server based on the activation code 10 assigned to the genuine article.

In this specification, the 'forged authentication page (500)' refers to a page provided to the client by accessing the forged authentication server based on the forged authentication code (20) given to the counterfeit article. The 'forged authentication page 500' may be a page generated similar to the activation page 400 so that it is difficult for the consumer / buyer to perceive it by the counterfeit distributor (for example, a counterfeit manufacturer or a counterfeit seller).

In the present specification, 'random key' refers to key data of a certain number of digits randomly generated without applying a specific generation rule.

The counterfeit goods distributors attach counterfeit identification marks similar to genuine products to the counterfeit goods and sell them and the client 200 is connected to the counterfeit authentication server 300 when the counterfeit identification mark is obtained, (500) is provided from the counterfeit authentication server (300). That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the counterfeit distributors construct the counterfeit authentication server 300 corresponding to the product authentication server 100, and similarly create counterfeit users corresponding to the activation page 400 It is possible to provide the counterfeit authentication page 500 when the counterfeit authentication server 500 is connected to the counterfeit authentication server 300. [

As described above, since the counterfeit merchants separately generate the same procedure for the counterfeit goods as the counterfeit goods, the purchaser (i.e., the users) may not recognize that the purchased commodity is counterfeit. There is a need for a process that can solve these problems and find counterfeit goods.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a system, method, and program for detecting a fake product based on a private key according to embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a fake product discovery system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The fake product discovery system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an activation server 100 and a client 200.

The activation server 100 plays a role of giving a private key to each client. That is, the activation server 100 receives a request for confirmation of the activation code 10 from a specific client 200, and if the corresponding key is not assigned to the client 200, Issue a private key. The manner in which the activation server 100 grants the private key to each client will be described in detail below.

The activation server 100 plays a role of providing the client with a list of articles requested to confirm the activation code 10 based on the matching relationship between the activation code 10 and the private key. The activation server 100 generates and provides the activated product list through the activation server 100 to recognize whether the user has a history of purchasing the counterfeit product. The specific process of providing the list of articles upon which the activation code 10 confirmation request is received will be described in detail below.

In addition, the product activation server 100 plays a role of receiving a counterfeit product suspicion report from the client 200. If the number of items purchased by the user so far does not match the currently displayed article list, the activation server 100 receives a fake product suspicion report transmitted from the client at the request of the user. In addition, it is possible to receive the store information purchased at the time of the report of the counterfeit goods suspicious or the abnormality, and take action.

In addition, the activation server 100 plays a role of generating the activation code 10. The activation code 10 is a data value assigned to each article. In one embodiment, the activation server 100 may generate and assign a different activation code 10 to each article when there are N articles corresponding to a specific article of a particular brand (i.e., a company) have. The activation code 10 assigned to each article may be made with a specific identification mark and affixed to each article or package. The identification mark may be attached to a surface of an article (e.g., a packaging surface of a cosmetic pack) produced by a barcode, a QR code, or the like, or a product included in a product transaction (e.g., a quality certificate) .

The client 200 is a user terminal device provided in a specific article and requesting activation (that is, requesting the activation code 10 confirmation) by first obtaining an identification mark corresponding to the activation code 10. That is, the client 200 is a terminal device that requests the activation server 100 to confirm whether it is a genuine product by acquiring an identification mark attached to a specific article (for example, photographing an identification mark through a camera). The client 200 can extract the activation code 10 included in the identification mark and transmit it to the activation server 100. [

If the client 200 has already received and stored the private key, the client 200 plays the role of transmitting the private key to the activation server 100 according to the request of the activation server 100. [ That is, when a private key is already generated and issued, it is not necessary to separately generate and issue a private key for distinguishing the client 200, so that the client 200 transmits the activation code transmitted to the activation server 100 (10) to the activation server (100).

The client 200 also displays a list of articles received from the activation server 100. In one embodiment, when the client 200 makes a request to validate the activation code 10 of a new article, the client 200 receives an article list based on the activation code 10 matched to the private key And displays it on the activation page 400.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a method of detecting a fake article based on a private key according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, in the method for discovering a fake article based on a private key according to another embodiment of the present invention, upon receiving a specific activation code 10 confirmation request, the activation server 100 generates a private key, (S500); Performing matching (S600) of the activation code (10) for a specific article by a private key; And generating an article list matched with the private key and providing the generated article list to the client 200 corresponding to the private key (S700). Hereinafter, a detailed description of each step will be described.

Upon receipt of the specific activation code 10 confirmation request, the activation server 100 generates and issues a private key for identifying the individual (S500). As the first user obtains the identification mark attached to the purchased item using the client 200, the client 200 extracts the activation code 10 from the identification mark.

In one embodiment, when the identification mark is in the form of a QR code or a bar code, the client can photograph the identification mark with the camera by operation of the first user to obtain the identification mark, and in the identification mark, . In another embodiment, if the identification mark is an NFC tag included in the article or the packaging of the article, the client may include an activation code 10 included in the identification mark as tagged in the identification mark provided in the article by the first user, Can be obtained.

The client 200 transmits the activation code 10 to the activation server 100 through wired / wireless communication. That is, the request for confirmation of the activation code 10 corresponds to the activation server 100 receiving the activation code 10 obtained by the client 200 and being asked to determine whether or not it is a genuine product.

Thereafter, upon receiving a request for confirmation of the activation code 10 from the specific client 200 for the first time, the activation server 100 generates a private key in the process of confirming whether it is a genuine product based on the activation code 10 And provides it to the client 200. The private key is key data stored in the client device 200 in the course of performing the activation, and the activation server 100 checks whether the private key is stored in the client, .

In one embodiment, the private key corresponds to a code assigned to each terminal held by the user. The activation server 100 can not distinguish the user of the client 200 when the subscription is not performed separately. Therefore, the activation server 100 assigns a different private key according to the identification data individually assigned to the client 200 (for example, a universal unique identifier (UUID) assigned differently for each mobile terminal) do.

In addition, in another embodiment, the private key determines a user based on another linked account logged into the client 200, and gives a corresponding private key to the corresponding user. For example, when the first terminal and the second terminal held by the first user are connected to the same account (for example, a Google account in the case of an Android terminal, or an Apple account in the case of an Apple terminal) The base station 100 determines that the same private key should be provided to the first terminal and the second terminal. Therefore, the activation server 100 matches the private key with the user account information (e.g., the account mail address) and transmits the matching information to the terminal (e.g., the first terminal) I.e., the second terminal), the activation server 100 transmits the same private key as that given to the first terminal to the second terminal. On the other hand, if the user account information is not registered at all, the activation server 100 may generate a new private key and transmit the new private key to the client 200.

That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the following procedure is performed between the activation server 100 and the client 200 in one embodiment. First, the activation server 100 receives the activation code 10 obtained from the client 200 (S510). Thereafter, the activation server 100 transmits a private key provision request to the client 200 (S520). When the client 200 holds the private key, the activation server 100 receives the private key data from the client 200, and when the client 200 does not hold the private key (i.e., The authentication server 100 determines that the client 200 has received the private key non-supporting data (i.e., the private key is not stored therein) or the private key is issued And receives the request data (S530). Upon receiving the private key non-supporting data or the private key issuing request data, the activation server 100 generates and transmits a new private key that is not duplicated with the private key previously assigned to the other client 200 to the client 200 (S540).

The client 200 receives the private key from the activation server 100 and stores it in a specific storage space therein. Thereby, the private key is stored in the user client, so that the same private key can be used until the user replaces or initializes the client device 200 (e.g., factory reset to erase all data and return to the initial state).

If it is determined that the private key has already been stored in the client device 200 due to the history of the confirmation of the activation code 10, the private key is newly generated and transmitted, and the activation server 100 And may request the transmission of the private key stored in the client device 200 (i.e., the user terminal).

The activation server 100 performs the matching of the activation code 10 for the article by the private key (S600). The product matching unit 10 matches the product code matched to the private key by matching the product code 10 with a specific private key.

When the activation server 100 issues a new private key to the client 200 (that is, the client 200 that has not previously transmitted the activation code 10 confirmation request to the activation server 100) , The activation server 100 stores the originally generated private key in the client 200 while transmitting the generated private key to the client 200 and transmits the received activation code 10 to the private key Matching is performed. When the private key is stored in the client 200, the activation server 100 receives the private key stored in the client 200 from the client 200, searches for the corresponding private key in the activation server 100, And performs matching with the received activation code 10 when the code 10 is requested to be confirmed. Accordingly, when a user performs a plurality of activation code 10 confirmation requests using the client 200 having the same private key (for example, by using one client 200 to recognize identification marks of various articles) The activation server 100 sends one or more activation codes 10 (for example, the activation code 10) to a specific private key in the activation server 100 that is the same as the private key stored in the client 200 ).

The activation server 100 generates an article list matched with the private key and provides it to the user client 200 corresponding to the private key (S700). In one embodiment, when receiving a request to confirm the activation code 10 for a new article from the client 200, the activation server 100 generates and provides the article list to the client 200. The user can confirm whether or not there is no difference from the purchase list recognized by the person himself / herself by receiving the list of articles he has purchased so far (specifically, the list of individual articles according to the activation code 10) .

In one embodiment, the activation server 100 provides a list of articles to the client 200 upon activation of the activation code 10 for a new article. If all the purchased items have been accumulated and a list in which an item having requested a confirmation of a new activation code 10 is provided is provided, the user performs a new confirmation of the activation code 10 (i.e., (For example, performing the identification mark attached to the article) is judged to be an article connected to the same activation server 100 as the existing article (for example, the original article is a genuine article under the assumption that the article is a genuine article) can do. On the other hand, in the case where the list of items purchased by the user and the number of items do not match (for example, in the case where three identical packs have been purchased, The user can confirm whether or not the product which is requested to confirm the activation code 10 is connected to the activation server 100 to which the existing purchased goods are connected is connected to another server (that is, the counterfeit authentication server 300) For example, it may be perceived that a product that has already made a request for activation is a counterfeit product under the premise that it is a genuine product). Therefore, if the list of articles actually purchased does not match the article list provided on the authentication page (i.e., the activation page 400 or the counterfeit authentication page 500), the article that has been activated this time ) Or you suspect that one or more of the products that have been previously activated may be counterfeit goods that do not qualify for the genuine product.

Upon suspicion of the user based on the article list, the user can examine the authentication page in detail to determine whether the authentication page is the activation page 400. [ For example, if the number of the products that have been activated is not identical, the user can check the domain address of the authentication page in detail and check whether the domain address is different from the domain address of the activation page 400 in the spring. In addition, since the user is suspicious based on the article list that does not match the number of purchased items, the user can re-purchase the article in the shop that has been purchased so far and perform the activation again. This allows the user to go through the process of directly identifying the counterfeit product.

The activation server 100 receives the request for providing the article list from the client 200 and notifies the client 200 that the article 200 has been received from the client 200. In other words, ) To provide a list of goods. For example, when the client 200 connects to the activation page 400 (for example, accesses the activation web page through URL input) according to a user's request, the activation server 100 activates Receives the private key stored in the client (200) connected to the page (400), extracts the article list matched with the private key, and provides the retrieved article list to the client (200). Since the URL address corresponding to the web site is a unique matching value for a particular web site, it is difficult for the user to access the web site through the URL, bypassing the authentication server 100 and bypassing the authentication server 100. Accordingly, the user can immediately check and view the list of genuine products that he / she has purchased so far.

Also, as shown in FIG. 5, the method for searching a counterfeit product based on a private key according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a step (S800) of receiving a suspicion request when the number of articles on the article list is different from the actual number do. That is, when it is determined by the user that the number on the article list is different from the actual number of purchased articles, the activation server 100 receives a suspicion request from the client 200. The user recognizes that he / she purchases a corresponding product (for example, a pack of a specific cosmetics company) for a third time. The list may be presented by initially purchasing the product on the article list provided from the activation server 100. At this time, the user can perform the suspicion report based on the difference between the number of purchases perceived by the user. That is, when the user has taken the identification mark attached to the counterfeit product, the list is displayed on the counterfeit authentication page 500. When the user takes a genuine product, the list is displayed on the genuine product homepage, It is recognized that it does not match, and the abnormal report can be performed accordingly.

In one embodiment, as the client 200 connects to the activation page 400 and a suspicion report is performed, the activation server 100 obtains counterfeit information. The activation server 100 receives the store information for selling the article determined as a counterfeit product from the user through the client 200, and acquires the counterfeit product retail store list. In other words, the activation server 100 receives the store information from which the previous counterfeit product was purchased at the time of performing the report on the activation page 400 from the user, and grasps the counterfeit merchandise store.

Also, in another embodiment, the activation server 100 receives the store information purchased in the suspicious report or abnormality report data together, and determines whether the current suspicious item is a counterfeit product through the store information. If the suspicious-declared article is an article purchased from an authorized retailer that only sells a genuine article, the activation server 100 notifies that the article currently purchased corresponds to a genuine article and that the article previously purchased was a counterfeit article.

Also, the activation server 100 may display and provide the authenticated authentication page check reference data to the user. That is, the activation server 100 provides the user with a confirmation criterion that can be provided only by the activation page 400, and when the user suspects that the user has purchased the counterfeit, the current authentication page is displayed on the activation page 400). ≪ / RTI > For example, a URL or domain address that can not have the same value as the identification mark that can recognize the activation page 400 can be utilized.

Also, when a user uses a plurality of clients, the activation server 100 may create a member account, and may integrate purchased details using a plurality of clients. That is, when a user performs activation of a plurality of different articles using a plurality of clients, a different private key is assigned to each terminal, and the purchased history is stored for each private key. Thus, Can not confirm. Accordingly, the activation server 100 allows the user to join the subscription. When the subscriber logs in the subscriber account with the subscription account, the subscriber server 100 receives the subscriber key from each subscriber terminal and transmits data matched to the corresponding subscriber key to the subscriber's account You can connect. In one embodiment for integrating the activation details of a plurality of clients, when the activation code 10 confirmation process is performed for one or more different articles by a plurality of clients 200 owned by the user, as in FIG. 6, The activation server 100 generates and provides a member account at the request of the user (S900); (S1000) receiving a private key of a plurality of clients connected to the member account by the activation server 100; And connecting the activation code 10 matched to each private key to the member account (S1100).

Accordingly, the users can integrate and manage the details of performing the activation with a plurality of clients (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet PC, etc.), and the history data purchased prior to membership registration through the private key of each client User accounts can accumulate. In addition, the activation service provider can induce users to become members based on integrated management of the activation history through a plurality of clients.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes extracting advertisement data based on the list of articles purchased and activated by a specific user based on the private key, and providing the advertisement data to the client. An article list corresponding to the user or each client is stored in the activation server 100 as the user shoots the activation code attached to the purchased article to check whether the user is genuine. If a private key is assigned to each client held by a user, an article list can be generated for each private key (i.e., for each client corresponding to each private key). By creating a user account, the list of articles activated by one or more clients can be merged to create a list of articles for a particular user. The activation server 100 can extract the advertisement information suitable for the user based on the user list or the client list for each client.

In one embodiment of the method for extracting the advertisement information, the activation server 100 matches the advertisement information to the activation code 10 or the product, and stores the product included in the product list for each personal key or user account The advertisement information is extracted. The activation server 100 displays advertisement information on the user client 200 and provides the advertisement information. In another embodiment of the method for extracting advertisement information, it is possible to derive suitable advertisement information based on a combination of articles contained in the article list.

In addition, the activation server 100 provides product information (for example, a product introduction sheet) on the product list provided to the client 200. Thus, the user can confirm the product information about the product that has performed the activation (that is, the product that includes the activated product) together with the product information. The activation server 100 may display a separate button for confirming the product information on the user interface provided to the client. When the client 200 is a device having a touch screen, the activation server 100 generates a user interface so that product information is provided as a pop-up when the user performs a touch operation for a specific time or longer, .

In addition, the method for detecting a fake article according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a step of generating the activation code 10 with a random key.

Generally, the code that is given to an item is created based on a specific production rule. Therefore, if the manufacturer of the counterfeit product knows the rule for generating the code, it is possible to generate the same code as the original in the counterfeit or to generate the following code according to the generation rule, and generate the code having the same generation rule as the original And the counterfeit goods attached to it can be distributed to the market.

For example, if it is confirmed that the product conforms to the rule for issuing the activation code 10 obtained by the client, the counterfeit manufacturer may hack the activation code 10 by issuing the activation code 10, If you continue to generate a satisfactory key, you will not be able to verify that it is a counterfeit by using the client key. Therefore, in order to prevent such a problem from occurring, a method of generating the activation code 10 having no generation rule or pattern is provided.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the activation server 100 generates a random key of a certain number of digits (SlOO); Confirming whether the random key has already been generated and matched to a specific article (S200); If the random key corresponds to a newly generated key, assigning the random key to the activation code (10) (S300); And re-executing the random key generation if the random key corresponds to the already generated key (S400).

The activation server 100 generates a random key having a specific number of digits (S100). The random key can have a certain number of digits, and various methods can be applied to the random key generation method. For example, if the rank key is an N-digit number, a random generator is applied to each digit, so that the digits of each digit can be applied separately at random key generation time. If a specific number of digits is generated based on a random generator program, a specific random generator program for each digit may be applied since a specific generation rule by the logic of the random generator can be found.

The activation server 100 confirms whether the random key has already been generated and matched with a specific article (S200). That is, when the same random key is assigned to a plurality of articles, since the genuine article can be judged to be a counterfeit article, the activation server 100 generates a random key without a specific generation rule, It is necessary to judge whether or not it corresponds to the code.

If the activation server 100 corresponds to the newly generated random key, the random key is matched to the new product, and the random key is provided to the activation code 10 (S300). The granted activation code 10 may be implemented in the form of various identification tags that may be provided to the user. For example, a random key determined by an activation code 10 corresponding to a specific article may be generated by a bar code, a QR code, or the like, and may be provided together with the surface of the article (e.g., the packaging surface of the cosmetic pack) (E. G., Quality assurance). ≪ / RTI >

If the activation server 100 corresponds to the key in which the random key is already generated, the random key generation is re-executed (S400). That is, the activation server 100 may repeatedly perform the random key generation to generate a random key that is not duplicated with the activation code 10 already generated.

In this way, different activation codes 10 can be assigned to each individual article even if they are the same article, so that it can be confirmed whether or not the individual article is a genuine article.

The activation server 100 can receive the data corresponding to the specific identification mark or the identification mark (for example, the numeric data of the specific digit generated by the QR) from the user client (that is, the terminal) have. That is, the activation server 100 can store the activation code 10 and the specific article in a matching manner. When receiving the identification tag or the corresponding data from the client, the activation server 100 stores the activation code (10). The activation server 100 can inform the user client that the product is a genuine product if it is created and given a product code 10, and if the value is not stored, it can determine that the product is a counterfeit product and guide the user to the user client.

Further, the identification mark provided on the article may include a code corresponding to the article information and an activation code 10 assigned to the article. Therefore, when the data on the identification mark is received from the user client, the activation server 100 can extract the code (i.e., the product information code) corresponding to the product information and the activation code 10. Thereafter, the product activation server 100 transmits the product information code extracted from the identification mark and the activation code 10 to the activation code 10 stored in the activation server 100, the product information of the specific article matched with the activation code 10, It is possible to judge whether or not they match. Through this, the activation server 100 can find a case where it is likely to be a counterfeit product because it does not correspond to the code generated by the activation code 10 but matches the product or the article.

In addition, the activation server 100 may separately generate the activation code 10 for each manufacturer or product. As a result, the business ID code or the goods information code can be included together in the identification mark.

In addition, the activation server 100 can determine the revocation period of the specific activation code 10 based on the expiration date, the life cycle, and the like of a specific product. That is, if the expiration date has passed or the normal life cycle has elapsed, there may be a product that disposes of the product without using it. The activation code 10 for such an item can be discarded after the elapse of the period and processed with a code that can be newly assigned to another article.

As described above, the method of finding a fake product based on a private key according to an embodiment of the present invention can be implemented as a program (or an application) to be executed in combination with a computer as a hardware and stored in a medium.

The above-described program is a program for causing a computer (e.g., activation server 100) to execute a method in which a processor (CPU) of the computer reads a program through a device interface of the computer And may include code that is coded in a computer language such as C, C ++, JAVA, or machine language that can be read. Such code may include a functional code related to a function or the like that defines necessary functions for executing the above methods, and includes a control code related to an execution procedure necessary for the processor of the computer to execute the functions in a predetermined procedure can do. Further, such code may further include memory reference related code as to whether the additional information or media needed to cause the processor of the computer to execute the functions should be referred to at any location (address) of the internal or external memory of the computer have. Also, when the processor of the computer needs to communicate with any other computer or server that is remote to execute the functions, the code may be communicated to any other computer or server remotely using the communication module of the computer A communication-related code for determining whether to communicate, what information or media should be transmitted or received during communication, and the like.

The medium to be stored is not a medium for storing data for a short time such as a register, a cache, a memory, etc., but means a medium that semi-permanently stores data and is capable of being read by a device. Specifically, examples of the medium to be stored include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, but are not limited thereto. That is, the program may be stored in various recording media on various servers to which the computer can access, or on various recording media on the user's computer. In addition, the medium may be distributed to a network-connected computer system so that computer-readable codes may be stored in a distributed manner.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be practical exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, You will understand. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
