The method conviction of a communication network using true meaning goods}

The present invention relates to a method for checking the authenticity of a product using a communication network, and in particular, the authenticity of a product using a communication network that enables the user to check the authenticity of the product accurately and quickly by using a wired / wireless terminal and a communication network. It relates to how to check.

In general, brand identity plays an important role in the market. This provides a means for customers to identify and trust products from specific sources. It also provides a means for companies to build repetitive transactions by gaining customer popularity and earning customer credit. As a result, companies are investing heavily in advertising and product development to establish this brand identity.

The merits of brand identity and the extended resources in brand identity are a strong motivator for counterfeits. The most prominent illegal and illegal acts that threaten brand identity include counterfeiting of the product itself, and forgery of packages used for certified or counterfeit products.

In the purchase of brand name goods, international luxury goods, antiques, handicrafts, etc., a consumer who wants to buy a genuine product has the ability to directly identify the authenticity of the product, or does not have the help of an expert. It is virtually impossible to identify the authenticity of a product.

In addition, from the producer's point of view, there is a need to prevent the fake products purchased by consumers from damaging their products or their images.

In order to solve such a problem, conventionally, specific identification means (trademark, hologram, etc.) are provided by marking on goods.

However, since the counterfeit goods are produced and distributed by imitating the corresponding product as well as the identification means, it is difficult for consumers to distinguish the authenticity of the counterfeit or similar products.

Therefore, the authenticity verification method using marks, logos, etc., no matter how elaborate and special logos, displays can be imitated or stolen, it does not give consumers a satisfactory trust.

Accordingly, the present invention has been proposed to solve the conventional problems as described above,

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for checking the authenticity of a product using a communication network that can accurately and quickly confirm the authenticity of the product by using a wired or wireless terminal and a communication network.

It is characterized by including the.

Hereinafter, described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention according to the technical spirit as described above.

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a system for checking authenticity of goods using a communication network to which the present invention is applied.

Here, reference numeral 110 denotes a wireless terminal used by the authentication requestor to request the authentication of the product, reference numeral 120 denotes a wired terminal used by the authentication requestor to request the authentication of the product, and reference numeral 200 denotes a communication network (Internet). General communication network, including general network and PSTN network), and reference numeral 310 indicates the authentication requester information in connection with the authentication requester management unit 320 when the authentication of the product is requested by the authentication requester. And a product authentication server for storing the data in 330, performing authentication of the product in association with the certification authority 400, and outputting the authentication result.

In addition, reference numeral 500 is a wireless terminal 110 or a wired terminal (120, a wired terminal capable of text display) of the user through the communication network 200 to the authentication result in conjunction with the product authentication server 310 as a text. Represents a short message service (SMS) server to transmit, and reference numeral 600 is a user's wireless terminal 110 or wired terminal 120 through the communication network 200 as a voice of the authentication result in conjunction with the product authentication server 310. Represents an automated response system (ARS system)

The operation of the system for checking the authenticity of goods using a communication network to which the present invention configured as described above is described in detail as follows.

First, a buyer (certification requester) who wants to purchase a product such as a famous brand or a luxury brand, the product number and certification shown on the front of a tag such as FIG. 4 attached to the product to check whether the purchased product is genuine or not. After scraping off the part of the number column (silk printing), dialing is made to the designated phone number to perform authenticity authentication.

Here, the tag (Tag) is produced by the producer or manufacturer of the corresponding product in advance in the state registered the product number and certification number, etc. in the certification authority 400, the tag is produced and attached to the product.

In addition, the product number column and the authentication number column of the tag are overlaid with silk printing so that the product buyer can visually check only the state of the overlaid portion with the naked eye so as to check whether the original product is genuine.

In this case, if the overlaid portion of the tag is damaged, there is a high probability that it is not genuine, so it is preferable to request and verify the certification.

On the back of the tag, information as shown in FIG. 4 is recorded, allowing the user to perform product authentication.

On the other hand, when the product authentication server 310 is connected to the authentication requestor, and in conjunction with the automatic response system 600 controls to send out the guidance voice requesting the product number input, the guidance voice in the automatic response system by such control When sending, the authentication requester enters the product number by operating the numeric buttons provided on the keypad of the wireless terminal 110 or the wired terminal 120 used.

When the input of the product number is completed, the product certificate server 310 is connected to the certification authority 400, and passes the input product number and authentication requester information to the certification authority 400, the product number and the authentication requester The certification authority 400 provided with the information performs the certification of the product.

That is, when the certification authority 400 receives the product number and the authentication requestor information, the authentication authority 400 compares the input information with the existing product request number and the authentication requestor information, and confirms the same. As a result of this check, if the product has already been verified, it generates a non-authentication information and transmits it to the product certification server 310.

On the contrary, if the authentication is not confirmed, it is determined whether the same product number exists by comparing the product number with the product number stored in the authentication number DB 410, and if the same product number does not exist, the authentication impossible information Generates and transmits it to the product authentication server 310. If the same product number exists, the authentication number corresponding to the product number is extracted and transmitted to the product authentication server 310.

When the product authentication server 310 receives the authentication result, the product authentication server 310 transmits the received authentication result to the SMS server 500 and the ARS system 600, respectively.

Accordingly, the SMS server 500 transmits an authentication result (for example, authentication number or non-authentication information) to the wireless terminal 110 and the wired terminal 120 through the communication network 200 to be displayed on the screen. The authentication requestor can then determine the authenticity by looking at the information displayed on his terminal. For example, if the displayed result data is not certified, it can be determined that the product to be purchased is not genuine. If the authentication number is displayed, the authentication number recorded on the front of the tag and the authentication number displayed on the terminal are visually determined. It is only necessary to identify the authenticity of the product as it is.

In addition, the ARS system 600 transmits the authentication result (for example, authentication number or non-authentication information) to the wireless terminal 110 and the wired terminal 120 through the communication network 200 to be transmitted through the speaker. The authentication requestor can then check the information sent from his terminal to determine whether it is genuine. For example, if the voice that is sent is a non-authenticated voice (for example, "unauthenticated" or "not genuine"), you can determine that the product you want to purchase is not genuine and the authentication number is sent. If it is compared with the transmitted authentication number and the authentication number recorded on the front of the tag it is only necessary to judge the authenticity.

This allows the buyer to easily check the authenticity of the product, and also allows the producer, manufacturer or seller to secure the reliability of their product.

2 is a flowchart showing a method of checking the authenticity of goods using a communication network according to the present invention.

As shown in the drawing, when an authentication requester who wants to check the authenticity of a product makes an authentication request through a wired / wireless terminal, the product is received from the product authentication server 310 and then linked with an automatic response system (ARS system) 600. A first step (S102 to S104) of controlling to send out a voice announcement requesting a product number by voice; When the product number is input after the announcement is sent, attempts to connect to the certification authority 400 that performs authentication for the product, and when the connection is made, the inputted product number and authentication requester information are received from the certification authority 400. A second step (S106 ~ S110) for transmitting to; A third step (S112 to S116) of receiving and analyzing the authentication result transmitted from the certification authority 400; A fourth step of transmitting the authentication result to the wired / wireless terminals 110 and 120 of the authentication requestor in connection with the automatic response system 600 and the short message service server 500 when the authentication number is received as a result of analyzing the authentication result ( S118 to S124 and the result of analyzing the authentication result of the third step (S116), in the case of the reception of the non-authentication information, the non-authentication information is linked to the automatic response system 600 and the short message service server 500. It consists of a fifth step (S126 ~ S130) for transmitting to the wired and wireless terminals (110, 120) of the authentication requestor.

The authenticity of the goods using the communication network according to the present invention made as described above will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

First, in step S102, a buyer (certification requester) who wants to purchase a product such as a famous brand or a luxury product, the product shown in front of the tag as shown in FIG. After scraping over the part of the number and the authentication number (silk print), dialing is made to the designated phone number to perform authentic authentication.

Next, the product authentication server 310 is connected to the authentication requestor in step S104, in conjunction with the automatic response system 600, and controls to send a guide voice requesting the product number input. By such control, the automatic response system 600 sends out the guide voice.

When the authentication requester hears a voice prompting the user to input the product number through the wireless terminal 110 or the wired terminal 120 used by the user, the authentication requester enters the product number by operating a numeric button provided on the keypad and a product certificate server. 310 checks whether a product number is input in step S106.

 When the product number is inputted as a result of this check, after accessing the certification authority 400 in step S108, the inputted product number and authentication requestor information are transmitted to the certification authority 400 in step S110.

Then, the certification authority 400 provided with the product number and the certification requestor information performs the certification of the product. That is, the certification authority 400 checks whether the product number is received in step S202 and receives the product number, as shown in FIG. 3, and requests and stores the input information and the existing authentication in step S204. And compare the authentication requester information to confirm whether the same. In the case where the product has already been verified as a result of this check, the process proceeds to step S206 to generate information on the non-certification, and transmits the information to the product authentication server 310 in step S208. On the contrary, if the authentication is not confirmed, it is determined whether the same product number exists by comparing the product number with the product number stored in the authentication number DB 410 in steps S210 to S212, and the same product number does not exist. If not, generates a non-authentication information and transmits it to the product authentication server 310. If the same product number exists as a result of the determination, in step S214 the authentication number corresponding to the product number is extracted and the product authentication server ( 310).

Next, in step S112, the product authentication server 310 checks whether an authentication result is received. If the result is not received, the product authentication server 310 moves to step S114 and maintains a reception waiting state. Otherwise, the authentication result is received. In the case, the authentication result is retrieved in step S116.

Thereafter, in step S118, it is determined whether an authentication number has been received as a result of the search. When the authentication number is received as a result of the determination, the received authentication number is transmitted to the SMS server 500 and the ARS system 600, respectively. Do it.

In step S122, the SMS server 500 transmits the authentication result (authentication number) to the wireless terminal 110 or the wired terminal 120 through the communication network 200 to be displayed on the screen. Then, the authentication requester may visually identify the authentication information displayed through the terminal in step S124 and the authentication number recorded on the front of the tag of the product, and judge the authenticity only when the same is the same.

In addition, in step S122, the ARS system 600 transmits an authentication result (for example, an authentication number) to the wireless terminal 110 or the wired terminal 120 through the communication network 200 to be transmitted through the speaker. Then, in step S124, the authentication requestor may check the information sent from his terminal to determine whether it is genuine. For example, it is only necessary to compare the authentication number sent out with the authentication number recorded on the front of the tag to determine the authenticity.

This allows the buyer to easily check the authenticity of the product, and also allows the producer, manufacturer or seller to secure the reliability of their product.

On the other hand, when the authentication result of the step S116 as a result of the non-authentication information, as in step S126, in step S128 it transmits the non-authentication information to the ARS system 600 and the SMS server 500. Then, in step S130, the ARS system 600 and the SMS server 500 transmits the content that cannot be authenticated by voice and text to the terminal of the authentication requester. In step S124, the authentication requester checks this and the product is genuine. You can judge no.

According to the present invention as described above, by manufacturing the tag that can determine the authenticity of the product by coating the product number column and the authentication number column with silk printing, the product buyer can easily discriminate whether the genuine product is easy with the naked eye. It is effective to help.

In addition, the buyer can check the authenticity of the goods to be easily purchased through the communication network using the wired or wireless terminal.

In addition, when verifying the authenticity of the product using a communication network, by notifying the product whether or not by voice, there is an effect that allows the buyer to more conveniently determine the authenticity of the product.
