The present invention relates to an anti-counterfeiting device for determining the authenticity of a product, and more particularly, after the initial reading of the product information stored as an RFID tag, the corresponding product information or predetermined reading information is deleted. The present invention relates to an RFID sheet structure having footprint information for preventing forgery of a product that can recognize whether or not the authenticity of the product is provided by providing arbitrary foot print information upon re-reading.

In general, several attempts have been made to certify consumables at the host, but none of them has been satisfactory. In particular, the background approach did not effectively prevent ceramics. Previously known approaches did not provide adequate authentication and were often helpless for copying, spoofing or similar techniques. The initial technique for authenticating a consumable is to rely on the key shape of the consumable. Such a key shape can be designed such that only consumables with that key shape fit a given type of host. As an example, certain brands of razors are adapted to engage only razor blades of a particular key shape. As a second example, the inkjet printer may be adapted to receive only refilled ink cartridges having a particular key shape. The use of such key shapes prevents consumables from being compatible between different types of hosts. However, such an approach is not effective for ceramics because the key shape of the consumables can be easily analyzed and replicated.

Such cloning induces corruption throughout society and results in harm to the health of the people. In particular, as liquor import and liberalization of liquor has been liberalized in recent years, the preference for high-quality liquor has increased as demand for foreign liquors has increased. For this reason, fake liquor and non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages of various paths are being traded, ignoring the health of the people.

In view of these circumstances, devices for determining the authenticity of goods or preventing tax evasion are being developed. Application No. 20-2001-0021792 'RFID tax stamp sticker' is to determine the authenticity of the goods using RFID (RFID). The above-mentioned RFID ID tax stamp sticker is attached between the bottle cap and the body, and includes a sheet of paper or the like on which a variety of information can be printed on one side of the tax stamp for proof of tax payment.

IC antenna formed by printing or etching on the other side of the sheet, and IC chip electrically connected at each end of the RF antenna at connection bonding portion to enable input / output of at least the outside and data, and at least IC data storing information data of tax payment (RFID tag) and an adhesive layer applied to cover the IC chip and providing an adhesive force between the bottle cap and the body. In addition, at the time of opening the bottle cap or detaching the sticker, the RF antenna is destroyed so that at least the IC chip is not electrically accessible and is not recycled.

In addition, the electrical breakdown method uses a protective film that is removed during use on the upper surface of the adhesive layer, the RF antenna is formed by silver printing or etching, and the connection bonding portion is formed by bumping or conductive tape.

However, such a copy protection structure or a similar type of copy protection structure causes the RF antenna on the protective film to be damaged, causing a problem that the RFID ID tag can be recycled. In other words, it is possible to falsify the corresponding product by replacing the RF antenna manufactured separately with the broken RF antenna.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an RFID ID sheet structure having a footprint information to prevent forgery of goods that can prevent the distribution of counterfeit goods.

It is another object of the present invention to eliminate the physical damage of the RF ID during the replication of a certain product and induce electrical deformation, so as to prevent the forgery of goods that can maximize the range of use for the anti-counterfeiting device having a footprint information RF It provides an ID sheet structure.

Another object of the present invention, as the serial number of the reader to the foot ID during the operation of the reader to determine the authenticity of the predetermined product (Foot Print), the authenticity of the product through the electrical deformation of the RF ID In order to prevent the forgery of a product that can recognize the RF ID sheet structure having a foot print information.

Still another object of the present invention is to delete the contents of the system memory of the RF ID when the reader operates to determine the authenticity of a predetermined product, so that the authenticity of the product can be recognized through the electrical modification of the RFID. In order to prevent forgery of goods, it is to provide RFID sheet structure with footprint information.

RFID sheet structure for preventing forgery of goods according to the aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, in the RFID sheet structure that can prevent the forgery of goods, has any shape and between circuit elements A base panel for stably bonding; An antenna for silver printing or etching onto the base panel and transmitting and receiving an RF signal of a predetermined frequency band; An RF front end (RF front end) for performing demodulation on a signal input and output to the antenna; Perform COS (Chip Operating System) operation on IC chip, analyze and control the input / output signal based on data structure according to communication protocol, and respond to product information request by reader A computer for generating Foot Print information; And a memory for storing at least the product information and the footprint information.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the footprint information is the reading date of the reader and the serial number for the reader, or masking code information for masking the system information stored as a tag with a specific code, the footprint information is It is characterized in that it is generated during the meter reading operation of the reader.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram showing an RFID structure according to the present invention. As shown, the base panel 109 having an arbitrary shape and for stably bonding between circuit elements, and an antenna for transmitting and receiving an RF signal of a predetermined frequency band by silver printing or etching onto the base panel 109 ( 101, an RF front end (103) for performing demodulation and demodulation on a signal input and output to the antenna 101, and a chip operating system (COS) operation for an IC chip, A computer 105 for performing analysis control on the input / output signal based on a data structure according to a communication protocol, and generating foot print information in response to a request for product information by a reader; And a memory 107 which is encoded by encrypting the product information, ID information of the corresponding product, and footprint information.

The footprint information includes the reader's meter reading date and a serial number for the reader. If necessary, the footprint information may mask system information stored as a tag with a specific code, and the masking code may be set to '0' indicating data clear. In addition, the footprint information may be generated during the reading operation of the reader or in response to a specific key signal of the reader. Alternatively, the footprint information may be generated when the reader reads the number of times, for example, twice.

Accordingly, when the reader receives the product information during the authenticity reading of the corresponding product, the leader sends a preset code to instruct generation of the footprint information. The reader transmits meter reading date (time) information and any message information according to the meter reading, or transmits control information for masking to generate footprint information. The reader includes a predetermined display unit capable of displaying footprint information including an authenticity result of the corresponding product.

The reader may be implemented as a separate system provided by the producer, and given the background of the times, it may be a mobile phone having a meter reading function for RFID. The reader or the mobile phone including the same function may store the product information or receive the corresponding product information through a wired / wireless internet network so as to perform authenticity reading on the corresponding product.

The product information includes EPC version information, manufacturer information, product identification information of the corresponding manufacturer, and serial number information of the same product. In addition, the above-mentioned RFID ID is preferably made of an auto-IDS structure, and an EPC (Electronic Product Code) code composed of 96 bits is stored as an RFID tag and then attached to a product.

The RF ID has a contact type of 3.57 MHz, a contactless contact type having a 4.92 MHz band, a contactless proximity type having a 13.56 MHz band, a near contact type having a 13.56 MHz band, and a 900 MHz, 2.4 Ghz band. Any one of the frequencies may be used. The RFID may be implemented in the form of a sheet and attached to the surface of the product, or may be implemented in the form of a card and fastened to a part of the product.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 2 is a view showing a first embodiment of the present invention. This implements the RFID ID according to the present invention in the form of a sheet (Sheet) to determine the authenticity of the liquor as attached to the mainstream article.

As shown, the liquor article 201 represents a typical liquor, appealing to the consumer based on the liquor bottle 203 and the unopened cap (unsigned). The authenticity of the mainstream article 201 is substantially unclear. Thus, the RFID sheet 205 provided through the present invention provides authenticity of the mainstream article 201.

The RFID sheet 205 is firmly attached to one side of the wine bottle 203, and indicates that it is genuine on the surface of the RFID sheet 205. The RFID sheet 205 is attached to the liquor article 201 during the manufacturing process. Inside the RFID sheet 205, a predetermined memory is held for storing product information on the product and storing foot print information as a reading basis for the product.

In addition, the RFID sheet 205 may not only be mass-produced but also inexpensive and has a one-time or consumption function. Since the RFID sheet 205 described above is firmly attached to the surface of the bottle 203, the antenna 101 inside the RF sheet 205 is damaged when it is to be removed without permission. As described above, the antenna 101 is wound around the outer periphery of the sheet a plurality of times. Therefore, such damage to the antenna 101 does not guarantee the authenticity of the product. Damage to the antenna 101 may be assumed to be a false or illegal distribution of the product.

On the other hand, in the present invention, even if there is no damage to the antenna 101, in order to be able to determine the authenticity of the product, the computer 105 is a predetermined foot print (Foot Print) information when reading the RFID sheet 205 To remain. For example, when the authenticity of the RFID sheet 205 is read through the reader 401 in which the product information on the RFID sheet 205 is stored, as shown in FIG. 4, the internal memory of the RFID sheet 205 is read. 107 is achieved by storing predetermined meter reading information.

A user or purchaser of the liquor article 201 holds the reader 401, and the leader 401 holds product information for the article. Thus, upon receipt of the article, the user oscillates a specific frequency to the RFID sheet 205 to read the authenticity of the article. The frequency varies depending on the type of article and the meter reading method, and is a contact type of 3.57 MHz, a contactless type having a 4.92 MHz band, a non-contact type having a 13.56 MHz band, and a non-contact type having a 13.56 MHz band. In the vicinity of, and any one of the frequencies of the 900Mhz, 2.4Ghz band can be used.

The reader 401 oscillates any one of the frequency bands described above. The RFID sheet 205 is tuned corresponding to the frequency through the internal antenna 101. Frequency tuning is based on the tuning circuit set by the RF front end 103. The RF front end 103 extracts a metering request signal mounted at the frequency through a tuning frequency provided from the antenna 101. The metering request signal is processed into standardized information and provided to the computer 105. The computer 105 determines whether the meter reading request signal currently received is a legitimate signal.

The metering request signal is a predetermined metering command code based on a preset protocol. The reading command code is mutually set to the reader 401 and an RFID tag. The meter reading command code is recognized by the computer 105. The computer 105 enables the memory 107 according to a metering command code sent from the reader 401 based on a Chip Operating System (COS) operation. The memory 107 stores product information, and the computer 105 extracts the product information and provides it to the RF front end 103.

The RF front end 103 modulates the data for the product information and then radiates it through the antenna 101. Accordingly, the product information is received through an antenna (not shown) of the reader 401. The reader 401 displays the product information on the display window 409 and indicates that the product is genuine through the indicator lamp 407. At this time, the computer 105 stores foot print information in the memory 107 as a reception of a meter reading command code. This means that the first meter reading was done.

The footprint information may be meter reading date (time) information and any message information according to the meter reading, and may mask the memory 107 as necessary. In this case, the meter reading date information and the foot print information for the meter reading message stored in the memory 107 may be provided from the reader 401. Therefore, when the reader 401 transmits a metering request signal, it is preferable to accompany the metering date information and the metering message described above. On the other hand, when the footprint information is meaningless data masked to the memory 107, the computer 105 masks the meaningless data set at the time of inputting the metering command code, for example, '0' to the memory of all addresses, Mask to specific data.

Masking erases the data stored in the tag, and the computer 105 masks or erases the commodity information stored in the memory 107 with arbitrary data upon receiving the first meter reading command.

Therefore, when a consumer purchases the liquor article 201 and then reads the authenticity of the liquor article 201 using the reader 401, the reader 401 is inside the RFID sheet 205. The memory 107 recognizes the previously stored product information. The meter reading information is stored in the RFID tag, that is, the memory 107, or the product information is erased. As a result, the consumer is provided with product information at the time of the first reading of the liquor article 201, and determines the authenticity of the product therefrom.

For example, when the RFID sheet 205 is attached to another product of the same kind after the meter reading is performed once, the reader 401 may read the product information and the meter reading information when reading the other person using the arbitrary reader 401. Receive That is, the computer 105 extracts the product information stored in the memory 107 and the meter information stored at the time of the first meter reading, and provides the extracted information to the reader 401 through the antenna 101. The reader 401 displays the reading information, that is, the first reading date and / or reading message, on the display window 409. The consumer recognizes that he is not genuine based on the metering message provided from the reader 401.

Meanwhile, the RFID sheet 205 presented in the present invention may be fastened to a specific product without being adsorbed into a specific product. This may be applied to a product that can not be attached to the RFID sheet 205, as illustrated in FIG. In the embodiment of the present invention, the garment article 301 is illustrated, and the RFID sheet 205 is fastened to a predetermined position of the garment 303.

The tag constituting the RFID sheet 205 stores product information on the garment article 301, and secures a memory 107 for storing footprint information with a predetermined capacity as described above. Therefore, the consumer uses the reader 401 to read the authenticity of the clothing article 301. At this time, the reader 401 receives the product information of the product from the RF ID sheet 205. The received product information is displayed through the display window 409. The reader 401 determines whether the footprint information stored as the RFID tag exists.

If the footprint information does not exist, the reader 401 notifies the authenticity via the indicator lamp 407. On the other hand, when the reader 401 receives the foot print information from the RFID sheet 205, the display window 409 displays a message about the foot print information, that is, the first meter reading information and / or the meter reading message information. The consumer judges the article having such footprint information as a false product.

On the other hand, the computer 103 of the RFID sheet 205 can apply the footprint information as the above-mentioned masking information in the operation management, the reader 401 is not provided with the product information. The reader 401 outputs an error message through the indicator lamp 407. Therefore, the consumer judges the article as a false product.

As described above, the RFID sheet structure having the foot print information for preventing counterfeiting of the product according to the present invention secures a memory for storing the foot print information on the RFID tag, By receiving the footprint information from the reader during the initial reading of RFID (RFID) and storing it in memory, the authenticity of the product can be judged based on the footprint information provided from the reader when the consumer purchases the item. Therefore, there is an effect that can prevent the entry of false products in the market in advance.

In addition, according to the present invention, since the authenticity is determined through the electrical deformation of the RFID sheet, the physical deformation of the RFID sheet is not allowed, and thus, the present invention can be applied as a thorough countermeasure against counterfeiting.

While the invention has been shown and described with respect to specific preferred embodiments thereof, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and is commonly used in the art to which the invention pertains without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed in the claims. Anyone with knowledge will be able to make various variations.
