First, a first step of photographing the authentication label 100 and inputting an image is performed (S110)

In the first step S110, the authentication label 100 attached to the product to be authenticated is captured by the camera unit 230 of the consumer terminal 200 to obtain an image. The captured image of the authentication label 100 is stored in the memory 210 of the consumer terminal 200.

When the image of the authentication label 100 is input to the consumer terminal 200, the application of the consumer terminal is executed to recognize the recognition range of the image of the authentication label 100 input in the first step S110, And a second step of recognizing the manufacturer-specific information 110 and the product-specific information 120 and converting the product-specific information 110 into a check digit value is performed (S120)

In the second step S120, the consumer terminal 200 extracts the recognition point 150 from the image of the authentication label 100, rotates the image so that the direction of the image is normal, And converts the size of the image to fit the recognition range.

That is, each recognition point 150 is rotated so as to be in place to convert the image into a normal direction, and the image is enlarged or reduced in size so as to fit the recognized recognition range.

The manufacturer specific information 110 inserted in the manufacturer specific information field of the certification label 100 and the product specific information 120 inserted in the product specific information field of the certification label 100 are recognized, The check digit value (X1, Y1) is obtained through an operation.

When the check digit value X1, Y1 is obtained from the manufacturer specific information 110 and the product specific information 120, the encryption information of the manufacturer specific information 110 and the product specific information 120 is obtained from the pattern code 140 A third step of reading, decoding and converting into a check digit value is performed (S130)

In the pattern code 140, the manufacturer specific information 110 and the product unique information 120 are respectively converted into check digit values through a predetermined operation, and then the encrypted encryption information is encoded and inserted.

In the third step S130, the encryption information is read from the pattern code, the decryption information is decrypted, and the check digit value of the manufacturer specific information 110 and the product specific information 120, (X2, Y2) are obtained.

After the pattern code 140 is decoded, the check digit value X1, Y1 converted in the second step S120 and the check digit value X2, Y2 decoded in the third step S130, (Step S140)

In the fourth step S140, if any one of the check digit values does not match (X1? X2 or Y1? Y2), a fifth step of informing the consumer terminal 200 that the product is a duplicate product is performed. (S142)

On the other hand, if the check digit values are all the same (X1 = X2 and Y1 = Y2) in the fourth step S140, the consumer terminal 200 first authenticates that the product is genuine, The sixth step is performed (S150)

The product activation process is performed on the consumer terminal 200 without accessing the registration server 300 and loading the product database 310.

After the license is primarily activated in the consumer terminal 200, the following process for registering the activation information in the registration server 300 is performed.

In the sixth step S150, when the first activation is performed, the seventh step of transmitting the activation information from the consumer terminal 200 to the registration server 300 through the wired / wireless communication network 400 is performed. S210)

When the customer terminal 200 transmits the activation information to the registration server 300, the registration server 300 registers the activation information of the product in the product database 310 based on the activation information Step S220 is performed.

If it is already registered in the product database 310 in the eighth step S220, the ninth step of informing the consumer terminal 200 of the pre-registered product is performed (S222)

The fact that the product activation information is pre-registered means that the consumer has previously registered the product activation information, and then confirms the registration fact. On the other hand, if a consumer tries to activate and register for the first time after purchasing a product, the product is considered a clone.

If the registration is not already registered in the product database 310 in the eighth step S220, the registration server 300 authenticates that the product is genuine and notifies the consumer terminal 200 of the authenticity of the product Is performed (S230)

When the product is secondarily activated in the consumer terminal 200, an eleventh step of transmitting a registration request for activation information of the product to the registration server 300 is performed (S240)

When the registration server 300 confirms the registration request of the activation information transmitted from the consumer terminal 200, the registration server 300 registers the activation information of the product in the product database 310 Step 12 is performed (S250)

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S 240 that registration of the product activation information is not requested, that is, if registration request of the activation information transmitted from the consumer terminal 200 is not received from the registration server 300 The process proceeds to the first step S110 and an image input step of the authentication label 100 for another product is performed.

Registration of product activation information can prevent distribution of other replicas.

That is, by allowing the consumer to directly register the product activation information through the consumer terminal 200, even if the authentication label 100 is copied as it is, the activation information is already registered in the registration server 300, It is possible to prevent circulation of counterfeit goods.

The identification method in the case of copying such an activation label will be described in detail as follows.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an example of an identification method in copying an activation label according to the present invention.

In the case of the genuine first inquiry (photographing) for identifying the activation label, it is judged that it is a normal genuine product, the product property information is displayed, and information for judging the standard according to the contract with the user is displayed.

In the case of inquiry after second genuine labeling, the whole inquiry contents are managed by the server, and the time, position and phone number of the inquirer are grasped, and the genuine commodity shots and the commodity (the copy of the activation label is printed and attached ).

If you take multiple copies of the activation label, that is, take a genuine copy and walk around several times, and check out several copies of the genuine distribution process (shipment, auction house, wholesaler, dealer) As shown in Table 2, the problem does not occur in the inquiry path, time lapse validity, inquirer characteristics, total number of inquiries, and the like.

However, when multiple copies of the activation label are viewed, the referral path does not appear to be a persuasive point of view and place, and it is moved to a location that is concurrent or unintelligible, Appears randomly.

As shown in FIG. 9, the identification of the case where the activation label according to the present invention is duplicated includes a time series analysis for checking the inquiry time, the inquiry place, and the inquiry time item, the pattern for checking the inquiry frequency analysis, Analysis, route validity, moving point validity, and moving count validity.

As described above, it will be understood that the present invention is implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention.

It is therefore to be understood that the specified embodiments are to be considered in an illustrative rather than a restrictive sense and that the scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description and that all such differences falling within the scope of equivalents thereof are intended to be embraced therein It should be interpreted.
