Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system and method for activating a product using a sound wave and an optical wave,

The present invention relates to a system and a method for determining whether a product sold on the market is a genuine product using a sound generator and an illumination generator attached to the product.

Conventional product authentication technology attaches / etches / prints a unique serial number, a barcode, and a tag type RFID label to a product and displays it as a genuine product in order to give genuine authenticity to the product and prevent manufacture / distribution of counterfeit product Products.

However, recognition methods such as serial number, one-dimensional bar code, and RFID tag label can be equally applied to counterfeit products because of the development of copying and copying technology, so that it is difficult to sufficiently provide reliability of genuine products only by their own functions .

All of the conventional non-standard items are also used as a method for determining the distribution route, but this is very limited for the purpose of confirming the authenticity of the product by directly connecting with the consumer.

 Therefore, even if a counterfeit product using a serial number of a genuine product is distributed to a product similar to a genuine product, only a limited number of authorized organizations or companies can provide authenticity of the product, and the visual discrimination capability by the product expert is also very limited, It is difficult to verify whether the product is authentic offline or offline, and a lot of individual effort is required to confirm it, so both the manufacturer and the consumer can be victims.

To minimize these damages, a company needs a system that can directly identify and manage products through an internal verification and authentication system. However, existing authentication methods and systems have limitations.

Since the above-mentioned disadvantages and circumstances are generally recognized, especially in China, where the replica products of China and other countries are commonplace, a new and more authentic product authentication system is provided to provide authenticity and reliability of products There is an increasing need to do so.

In addition, since the one-dimensional barcode used in the existing product authentication method is a combination of a black bar and a white bar having different thicknesses and coded by letters or numbers, it is composed of approximately 13 to 14 digits of data, In addition, it is difficult for a general communication terminal to distinguish genuine and counterfeit goods because the function of reading and recognizing and discriminating one-dimensional barcode is difficult.

On the other hand, in the case of an optical generator capable of recognizing a sound wave generator or illuminance, it is possible to extract data of 1K or more using wavelength, easy to read, and a technique to be fused with hardware, Since this information can be easily read and read by a communication terminal such as a smart phone with a sensor, a genuine authentication system is required to easily and quickly distinguish genuine and counterfeit goods.

In this context, the present invention is a method and system for solving the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to create genuine information including store information as additional information including authentication information of a product by using a sound wave and an optical wave, Smart phone or the like and confirm whether the product is genuine or not. By further communicating with the activation server connected to the communication terminal in order to further enhance the activation of the product, it is possible to confirm whether the product to be sold in the offline store is a counterfeit product, Which enables the user to directly check whether the product is activated at the time of product purchase, thereby ultimately improving the reliability of the product. Activation system using sound waves and illuminance Activation system using sound waves and illuminance Activation system using system sound waves and illumination And to provide a method thereof.

In addition, the present invention can easily track product information, authentication information, store information, and distribution channel of a product using sound waves and optical waves regardless of a consumer who intends to purchase the genuine product, .

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for encrypting activation information provided by a manufacturer and converting the encrypted activation information into a sound wave and an optical wave;

Attaching a sound wave generator and an optical wave generator that generate such sound waves and optical waves to a genuine article;

Recognizing a sound wave and an optical wave using various communication devices to confirm whether the consumer is a genuine product in a store;

Converting the recognized sound wave and optical wave analog data into digital data;

Transmitting the recognized genuine information to the communication terminal device server;

The server receiving the genuine information decodes it;

Confirming whether the decrypted genuine product information is normal;

Transmitting to the store consumer information on whether the product information is a genuine article or an article; Including

And displaying information on whether the product is a genuine product or not in a store consumer communication terminal device.

According to the present invention, a producer converts information including product information, authentication information, store information, and distribution path into sound wave information or optical wave to produce it as a sound wave or optical wave generator, attaches the sound wave or optical wave generator to the product, By providing conversion information from the generator through the communication terminal to the activation confirmation server, it is possible to inhibit the intentional manufacture and sale of counterfeit goods in the offline store, and provide a system in which the purchaser can directly confirm through the smart device, And ultimately maximizes the genuine reliability of the manufacturer's products.

In addition, anyone can easily trace product information, warranty information, store information, distribution channel, and the like of a product, thereby creating normal commerce based on trust.
