The present invention relates to the distribution management and authenticity check of precious metals, and more particularly, whether the authenticity of the product in the tracking and distribution process of the entire distribution process of precious metals, such as the final product from the precious metal raw materials, the sale and reprocessing of products. The present invention relates to a precious metals distribution management device and method using RFID (RFID), which enables identification of counterfeit goods, smuggled goods inspection, and genuine identification.

In general, precious metals are very large in circulation and value. In addition, the raw materials are distributed or traded as they are, or processed and distributed in various ways depending on the purpose. For this reason, raw materials and final consumer goods are vague. Gold bars, for example, serve as raw materials and products that are allowed to be traded, and are often treated as raw materials when the final consumer product is reprocessed.

According to the characteristics of the precious metal as described above, the precious metal industry has a complex distribution structure in which many producers, processors and end consumers are intertwined. For this reason, the distribution structure of the precious metals industry is distinct from that of other industries.

And for precious metal products, the content of the origin of the material has a decisive influence on ensuring and determining the quality of the product. Therefore, precious metals need to distinguish between genuine and illegal products. For this reason, today, professional appraisers issue certificates and certificates to each precious metal product so that they can be distributed with the precious metal to verify the authenticity and quality of the precious metal.

As described above, the complexity of the distribution structure of precious metals makes it difficult to explicitly state that raw materials are produced as final consumer products at specific parts during various stages of processing. Has a difficult problem

In addition, if the authenticity and quality of the precious metals are verified by the warranty certificate or appraisal certificate, the product itself is evaluated and evaluated, and thus, information on the raw materials and processing routes of the precious metal products cannot be grasped. Frequently, the quality of precious metal products is poorly assessed.

In addition, the guarantee or appraisal is easy to forge, so that the information on the origin of the precious metal products is deceived, and there are many distributions of counterfeit and similar products. And not delivered correctly to the end consumer.

This in turn leads to damage to the end consumer. For example, there is a problem that Australian grade 3 diamonds are distributed as South African grade 1 diamonds during processing and distribution.

These problems lead to distrust of the entire precious metal distribution system and difficulties in final consumer judgment.

In addition, the inventory management and distribution management are very inefficient for those who run precious metals related business because of the opacity of the existing precious metal distribution process, so that the distribution network is not sensitive to changes in demand as well as preparation for new demand. This incurs costs, which leads to a burden on the end consumer.

In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to make the existing invisible precious metal distribution channel transparent and clear, and to make it easy for producers, processors, and end consumers to access information when necessary, and to check the authenticity of specific products. Processing procedures should be provided in a validated form. However, this is not practically possible with existing management techniques and requires a comprehensive and reliable system using new equipment and application systems.

Therefore, the present invention is to display the information about the precious metal with RF ID (RFID) in each process from the raw material of the precious metal to the final product, and if you want to purchase the precious metal product after reading it and storing it in the server After reading the RFID information, it is possible to inquire the distribution history information and authenticity of the precious metal through the precious metal management information stored on the server online, so that the quality of the precious metal can be guaranteed and the distribution management of the precious metal is easy.

FIG. 6 is a view illustrating a process of registering information of a precious metal product in the precious metal distribution system of FIG. 1, and FIG. 7 is a view illustrating a process of searching for information of a precious metal product in the precious metal distribution system of FIG. 1.

First, referring to Figure 6 describes the registration process of the precious metal product information to the distribution management server 300 as follows.

First, the producer or seller is connected to the distribution management server 300 in the case of the initial registration and received an RFID code having an authentic authenticity confirmation code and a precious metal type code for the precious metal product (raw material or processed product), and then receives the RFID tag 11. Produce and attach to precious metal products (raw materials or processed products) (S1).

Next, after the producer or seller of the product registers or inquires the RFID tag 11 attached to the precious metal product through the RFID device 20 to recognize the RFID product code, the RFID middleware 30 together with the inquiry or registration request information is searched. Via the Internet network 500 is transmitted to the distribution management server (300). In this case, the inquiry or registration of the precious metal product 10 is not shown in the drawings, but may be performed by the terminal interoperating with the apparatus of the present invention by the producer or seller mentioned in the description of FIG. 1 (S2, S3). .

After the RFID code is received by the process S2, the distribution management server 300 identifies the RFID code (S4), and then identifies the inquiry or registration request input from the seller or the producer side terminal (S5).

In the case of initial registration as a result of the determination of S5 process, the distribution management unit 310 of the distribution management server 330 generates an authenticity confirmation code for the precious metal product transmitted in connection with the precious metal authenticity verification unit 340 and then the producer or seller system. 100 or 200, the producer or seller system 100, 200 writes the data received via the RFID device 20 to the RFID tag 11. After the transmission of the authenticity confirmation code, the distribution management server 300 registers the generated authenticity confirmation code with the precious metal product information in the above-described tree structure in the product database 330 (S6).

On the other hand, if it is not the first registration, the distribution management unit 310 of the distribution management server 300 searches for the corresponding information in the product database 330 using the product code of the received precious metal product 10. The product information retrieved in this process includes all raw materials, each processed product, and distribution step information of each processed product (S7).

In addition, in the authenticity check procedure, the precious metal authenticity checker 340 compares the extracted product information with the received product information to confirm whether they match, or calculates the relationship between the authenticity check code of the received product information and other product information. Check the authenticity. In this case, the authenticity is determined by a method such as comparison with the authenticity confirmation code of the product database or parity calculation (S8).

If the authenticity check code is inconsistent in the process S8, or a mismatch value is calculated as a result of the parity operation, the distribution management unit 310 of the distribution management server 300 reports the result to a query (seller, producer) and records it as a log. (S9).

On the contrary, when the authenticity check code is identical in S8 or the parity calculation result is matched, if the data to be updated according to the change in distribution stage is included in the product database 330, the product database 330 and Including the relationship information of the registration, and for the upper product, the data registration and update procedure for updating and recording the lower product, lower distribution step information is performed (S10).

Then, the distribution information and registration and update result information searched for the precious metal product are transmitted to the producer or seller system (S11).

After that, the producer and the seller can guarantee the reliability of the quality of the precious metal products and can distribute the precious metal products (S12).

Next, the information retrieval process of the precious metal product in the precious metal distribution system of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

As shown in FIG. 7, the inquiry of the precious metal product 10 performs different input procedures from consumers and producers / sellers.

In the case of the consumer, after accessing the distribution management server 300 through the Internet service unit 350 of the distribution management server 300 using his terminal 400 (S21), the precious metal type code of the precious metal product 10 By inputting the request to the distribution management unit 310 of the distribution management server 300. To this end, it is preferable that the precious metal product 10 be separately described with a precious metal type code or a warranty issued (S23).

On the contrary, in the case of a seller / producer, after inputting inquiry information from his terminal, after reading the RFID tag 11 information of the precious metal product 10 through the RFID device 10 (S22), the RFID middleware 30 is read. A request is made to the distribution management unit 310 of the distribution management server 300 (S23).

The distribution management unit 310 of the distribution management server 300 receiving the inquiry request for the precious metal products in S21 to S23 processes the precious metal type code, the upper product code, the current distribution code, and the upper distribution step code by using the RFID product code. , Extract the authenticity check code (S24),

Thereafter, by using the extracted precious metal type code, it is determined whether the precious metal product is registered in the product database 330 by extracting the relevant precious metal product related information from the product database 330. In this process, after performing a decoding process on the authenticity check code, it is possible to check the authenticity by comparing or parity with previously stored data (S25).

If the search result search in step S25 fails, the log information is recorded and transmitted to the terminal of the consumer, seller, and producer informing the product search failure (S26).

On the contrary, if the search is successful in step S25, the authenticity of the received precious metal product is determined using the authenticity of the authenticity confirmation code (S27).

If it is determined that the authenticity confirmation code is not genuine due to a mismatch in the process of S27, the corresponding information is recorded in a log and transmitted to the terminal of the consumer, seller, or producer indicating that the product is not genuine (S28). .

On the other hand, if it is determined that the authenticity is confirmed by the match of the authenticity confirmation code in S27 process, after extracting raw materials, upper product information, and distribution process information related to the precious metal requested for inquiry (S24), the consumer, seller, and producer Transmit to the terminal (S30).

The transmitted information is output from the terminals of consumers, sellers, and producers so that consumers, sellers, and producers can query information about precious metal products online in real time (S31).

The present invention described above registers the distribution process and authenticity of raw materials to distribution products for precious metal products by using RFID technology in a distribution management server, and inquires in real time if necessary, for integrated management of precious metal products. It makes it easy to register and manage information, and can also check the distribution process from raw materials to production process of precious metal products online and check the authenticity at each stage (counterfeit goods, smuggled goods inspection, and genuine goods identification). This enables not only to manage the distribution system of precious metal products more efficiently, but also to provide consumers with the effect of improving the reliability of precious metal products and to provide producers and processors with information on the transparent precious metal distribution situation. To make production and distribution more efficient. It provides an effect.
