The second GPS 33 is disposed adjacent to the second RFID reader / writer 31 to check the position of the second RFID reader / writer 31 in real time (S21).

The second RFID reader / writer 31 may be provided with a moving means 34 for moving the product, for example, a truck. Therefore, the second RFID reader / writer 31 can move from the first zone D1 to the second zone D2, which signifies a logistics location. And the second zone D2 means a place which is spaced apart from the first zone D1.

The location information of the second RFID reader / writer 31 detected by the second GPS 33 may be transmitted to the RFID middleware 100 in real time.

The second RFID reader / writer 31 may be provided with a second communication unit 32 for this purpose.

The RFID middleware 100 can verify the movement point of the product based on the position information of the second RFID interrogator 31 received by the second GPS 33. [

For example, the RFID middleware 100 may verify whether the position of the second RFID reader / writer 31 has moved from the first zone D1 to the second zone D2.

That is, the RFID middleware 100 may be configured such that the moving means 34 moves from the first zone D1 to the second zone D2 and the position of the second RFID reader / It can be verified whether or not it has entered the second zone D2 (S22).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a step of confirming a manufacturing code recorded in the RFID tag of the method of manufacturing and distributing products using the RFID of FIG.

5, when the second RFID reader / writer 31 enters the second zone D2 in step S30 of confirming the manufacturing code recorded in the RFID tag, the second RFID reader / Writer (31) confirms the manufacturing code recorded in the RFID tag (10).

The RFID middleware 100 determines whether the position of the second RFID reader / writer 31 has entered the second zone D2, And transmits an acknowledgment command of the manufacture code.

The second RFID reader / writer 31 confirms the manufacturing code from the RFID tag 10 (S31) after receiving the confirmation command of the manufacturing code from the RFID middleware 100, (32) transmits information on the manufacturing code to the RFID middleware (100) (S32).

The RFID middleware 100 can confirm whether the information on the manufacturing code transmitted from the second communication unit 32 is authentic.

1 and 2, in step S40, the second RFID reader / writer 31 inputs the movement code to the RFID tag, the position of the second RFID reader / The RFID middleware 100 generates the mobile code based on the reception time of the manufacturing code.

The RFID middleware 100 transmits the generated mobile code to the second communication unit 32. When the second communication unit 32 receives the mobile code from the RFID middleware 100, The reader / writer 31 inputs the mobile code to the RFID tag 10.

In this way, the method for managing the production and distribution of products using RFID according to the present invention verifies the movement point of the product through the position confirmation of the second RFID reader / writer 31, It is possible to prevent the counterfeit product from being circulated in its original form.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart of a step of confirming a mobile code recorded in an RFID tag of a method of manufacturing and distributing a product using the RFID of FIG. 1. FIG.

6, when the third RFID reader / writer 41 is located in the third zone D3 in the step S50 of checking the mobile code recorded in the RFID tag, the RFID middleware 100, Can identify the mobile code. Here, the third zone D3 is a location where the product is sold. The third zone D3 refers to the second zone D2 and a place spaced from the first zone D1.

More specifically, if the third RFID reader / writer 41 is confirmed to be located in the third zone D3, the mobile code recorded in the RFID tag 10 can be confirmed.

To this end, the third RFID reader / writer 41 may be provided with a third communication unit 42 and a 3GPS 43.

The third 3GPS 43 is disposed adjacent to the third RFID reader / writer 41 and can sense the position of the third RFID reader / writer 41 in real time (S51). The third communication unit 42 is connected to the third 3GPS 43 and the third RFID reader / writer 41, respectively.

The third communication unit 42 transmits the location information of the third RFID reader / writer 41 received by the third GPS 43 to the RFID middleware 100.

The RFID middleware 100 determines that the third RFID reader / writer 41 is located in the third zone D3 based on the position information of the third RFID reader / writer 41 received by the third GPS 43 (S52). ≪ / RTI >

The RFID middleware 100 may transmit the mobile code collection signal to the third communication unit 42 after verifying the position of the third RFID reader / writer 41.

When the mobile code collection signal is transmitted to the third communication unit 42, the third RFID reader / writer 41 confirms the mobile code recorded in the RFID tag 10 (S53) The communication unit 42 transmits information on the mobile code to the RFID middleware 100 (S54).

The RFID middleware 100 can confirm whether the information about the mobile code transmitted from the third communication unit 42 is true or not (S55).

Referring again to FIG. 1, in step S60 of inputting a sales code to the RFID tag, the third RFID reader / writer 41 inputs the sales code to the RFID tag 10.

When the mobile code is confirmed, the RFID middleware 100 generates the sales code based on the reception time of the information about the mobile code.

The RFID middleware 100 transmits the generated sales code to the third communication unit 42. When the third communication unit 42 receives the sales code from the RFID middleware 100, The RFID reader / writer 41 inputs the sales code to the RFID tag 10.

At this time, the time when the third RFID reader / writer 41 inputs the sales code to the RFID tag 10 may be the time when the product to which the RFID tag 10 is attached is sold. Information on the time when a product to which the RFID tag 10 is attached is sold may be transmitted to the RFID middleware 100 through the third communication unit 42. [

According to the method of manufacturing and distributing products using the RFID of the present invention, the RFID tag 10 is supplied with the production code, the mobile code, and the sales code at the time when the product is sold .

The production code, the mobile code, and the sales code may be randomly generated with codes such as a quadratic, octal, or hexadecimal number.

However, it is needless to say that the production code, the mobile code, and the sales code are not limited to those described above.

The method of manufacturing and distributing products using the RFID of the present invention may further include a step of generating a label having a QR code mark.

In the step of generating the label having the QR code mark, when the third RFID reader / writer 41 inputs the sales code to the RFID tag 10, the manufacturing code, the moving code, The QR code corresponding to the embedded code (hereinafter referred to as " first authentication code ") can be generated, and the label having the generated QR code mark can be generated.

In more detail, the third RFID reader / writer 41 may further include a controller 44 and a printer 45.

The controller 44 may be connected to the third RFID reader / writer 41 and the printer 45 may be connected to the controller 44.

When the third RFID reader / writer 41 inputs the sales code to the RFID tag 10 in the third zone D3, the controller 44 generates the QR code mark, 44 may control the printer 45 to cause the printer 45 to output the generated QR code mark to the label.

The label thus output can be provided to the consumer in a state stuck to the product.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram for explaining transmission of information on a product to a user terminal in a method of manufacturing and distributing products using the RFID of FIG. 1;

Referring to FIG. 7, the method for managing the production and distribution of products using the RFID may further include transmitting information on the products to the user terminal 200.

Here, the user terminal 200 refers to a device capable of detecting the RFID tag 10 or a QR code mark such as a smartphone or a tablet PC of a consumer.

The user terminal 200 may be connected to the RFID middleware 100.

In the step of transmitting the product information to the user terminal 200, when the first authentication code is transmitted to the user terminal 200, the RFID middleware 100 verifies the first authentication code, The user terminal 200 can transmit information on the product corresponding to the first authentication code.

The information on the product may include information on whether the product is a genuine product, a production date assigned to the production code, a place where the product is produced or manufactured, and the like.

The information on the product may include location information related to the second zone D2 given to the mobile code, for example, information on the movement path of the product.

The information on the product may include information on the place of sale given to the sales code, the number of remaining days of the distribution period given from the point of sale, and the like.

The number of days remaining in the distribution period of the product can be calculated from the information about the time when the product to which the RFID tag 10 transferred to the RFID middleware 100 is sold through the third communication unit 42. [

Since the information on the product is transmitted to the user terminal 200 in real time when the consumer operates the user terminal 200, the consumer can grasp the remaining number of days in the distribution period in real time.

Meanwhile, the information on the product may include information on the time of taking the product, the time of completion of the taking, and the nearby hospitals when the product is a medicine.

FIG. 8 is a view for explaining an RFID tag used in a method of manufacturing and distributing products using the RFID of FIG. 1. FIG.

And the first chip 12 may be removed from the antenna 11 when the package of the product is removed.

For example, the first chip 12 is removed from the antenna 11 when the product is torn out of the package.

The first chip 12 may receive the first authentication code.

Only the serial number code of the product input into the second chip 13 and the manufacturing code inputted by the first RFID writer 21 can be inputted.

The serial number code of the product input to the second chip 13 and the code including the manufacture code may be called " second authentication code ".

When the first chip 12 is removed, only the second authentication code stored in the second chip 13 can be transmitted to the user terminal 200.

When the RFID middleware 100 does not authenticate the first authentication code but authenticates only the second authentication code, the RFID middleware 100 transmits information on the product corresponding to the first authentication code to the distribution It can be deleted after the end of the period.

After the package is removed, the RFID middleware 100 deletes information on the product corresponding to the first authentication code after the end of the distribution period. Therefore, It is possible to prevent the first authentication code from being embedded indiscriminately and used.
