PARTY OF PRODUCTS WITH PROTECTIONS FROM FALSE

The utility model relates to products, mainly printed, in particular: documents, securities, identification marks, packaging, labels, tags, consumer goods and representative products that have security features against counterfeiting.

Falsification of products for various purposes is a problem that exists in all countries of the world. Counterfeiting of products causes significant damage to legal manufacturers, discredits their products, while falsified goods, as a rule, are of low quality, posing a threat to the health of citizens.

To prevent falsification of products, special means of protection against counterfeiting are used, consisting of protection elements that are applied directly to each product, and devices or systems for checking the fakeness of elements of protection against counterfeiting. At the same time, to achieve greater security on one product, from five to twelve anti-counterfeiting elements are applied, which are used as complex types of printing, for example: micro font, guilloche, Oryol printing; special dyes, for example: having a glow when irradiated with ultraviolet radiation; color changing under the influence of a thermal field; ferromagnetic; reflective; containing rare earth metals, etc.

The developers of security elements come from the fact that the more complex and more security elements against counterfeiting, the more difficult it is to fake products. However, the complexity and number of security elements does not lead to a noticeable decrease in the volume of fakes, since security equipment is designed to be identified by highly qualified specialists, the number of which, even in large enterprises manufacturing products and government intelligence agencies, is not enough to check the entire retail network.

IPC in 42D 1b / yo

In practice, the prevention of falsification of products is possible only if the authentication of the products will be carried out directly by the buyers of the goods, i.e. citizens who do not have special knowledge and skills to work with means of protection against counterfeiting.

A known batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means, the information on which is contained in the description of the invention “Anti-counterfeiting product and method of establishing its authenticity 1, consisting of products, on each of which a counterfeit protection element is made of a reversible thermal indicator.

Verification of the authenticity of each product is carried out by exposure to a thermal field on the element of protection against counterfeiting, for which it is enough to touch it with your finger. Under the influence of the thermal field, the thermal indicator changes its pale blue color to transparent. Upon termination of the influence of the thermal field, the color of the thermal indicator changes to the initial one - pale blue.

The advantage of the described technical solution is that to verify the authenticity of products does not require special knowledge and skills, as well as the use of devices. That is, product authentication can be performed directly by the purchasers of the products themselves.

A significant drawback of the described technical solution is that on each product the same anti-counterfeiting element is applied. Therefore, counterfeiters, having at their disposal the necessary equipment and materials, can produce any number of fake products with an exact copy of the genuine security element according to one sample of the counterfeit protection element. Buyers of products, not possessing the required knowledge, will not be able to distinguish even a gross fake security element from the original.

Closest to the claimed model is a batch of products with means of protection against counterfeiting, information on which is contained in the description of the invention “Product with means of authentication 2, consisting of products, on each of which is applied an element of protection against

subgames made of at least two liquid crystal type thermal indicators forming at least one group. In this case, the thermal indicators within the group are characterized by the fact that in the liquid crystal state they have at least one identical predetermined color in the temperature ranges forming a series in which the minimum temperature of the series is higher than the maximum temperature of the previous temperature range of the series.

At the same time, the anti-counterfeiting means includes a system for verifying the authenticity of the anti-counterfeiting element, which is implemented as an optoelectronic device consisting of a terminal and a system unit with a processor and memory.

The authentication of the anti-counterfeiting element is as follows. The device is installed on a counterfeit protection element, which is exposed to a thermal field until a temperature is reached that exceeds the maximum temperature of all temperature ranges at which the temperature indicators have a given color. As the temperature of the anti-counterfeiting element rises, its surface periodically changes color. The device registers the appearance and disappearance of a given color and converts them into electrical pulses, the sequence of which is a digital code. The system unit of the device compares the digital code generated by the element protected from falsification with the digital code in its memory. If the comparison result is positive, the anti-nodal protection element is genuine. Information about the results of the verification is displayed on the terminal in the form of a light and sound signal.

The essential features of the technical solution described that coincide with the essential features of the claimed technical solution are products on each of which a counterfeit protection element is applied, and a fake protection element verification system containing a terminal and a system unit with a processor and memory.

A significant drawback of the described technical solution is that the means of protection against counterfeiting are intended for specialists with the required knowledge and skills, as well as complex

Handling devices for authenticating anti-counterfeiting elements. The second significant drawback of the known technical solution is that on each product the same anti-counterfeiting element is applied. Therefore, counterfeiters, having at their disposal the necessary equipment and materials, can produce any number of fake products with an exact copy of the genuine security element according to one sample of the counterfeit protection element. These disadvantages do not allow to prevent the falsification of products.

The utility model is based on the task of creating a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means to prevent product falsification.

The problem posed as the basis of the utility model is solved by the fact that in a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means containing products, on each of which an anti-counterfeit security element is applied, and an authentication system of the anti-counterfeit security element, comprising a terminal and a system unit with a processor and memory, according to the utility model, the anti-counterfeiting element on each product is different, and is made in the form of a group of characters, at least some of which are random characters, and the group of characters is made in the form of a sequence of s, and consists of at least one mark, the system authentication of the security element against forgery comprises mensche least one further terminal, each of the terminals and configured to remote communication with the system unit.

It is most expedient to carry out a batch of products with anti-counterfeit means, in which the Arabic numeral is a sign.

It is also most advisable to carry out a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means, in which the terminal is a telephone.

A batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means, in which the anti-counterfeiting element on each of the products is different, and is made in the form of a group of characters, at least some of which are random characters, and

the group of characters is made in the form of a sequence of characters and consists of at least one character, prevents the possibility of manufacturing, according to one example, of an element of protection against counterfeiting, other elements corresponding to genuine protection against counterfeiting, other than similar to the existing model, since the composition and sequence of the group signs, which is one element of protection against counterfeiting, it is impossible to determine the composition and sequence of signs of groups of signs of other elements of protection against counterfeiting, due to the presence in each of the groups signs, at least part of the characters are random characters.

A batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means, in which the authentication system of the anti-counterfeiting elements is equipped with at least one additional terminal, and each of the terminals is capable of remote communication with the system unit, makes it possible to detect the presence of products in the distribution network that have the same anti-counterfeiting element, due to the fact that information about anti-counterfeiting elements applied to products from multiple terminals enters a single system unit with a processor and memory Which stores and compares the information received that allows you to instantly detect the presence in the trade network of counterfeit products.

The use of the Arabic numeral as a sign makes it possible to ensure that the element of protection against counterfeiting is directly read by buyers of goods without special knowledge and skills.

The use of telephone sets as terminals provides the ability to verify the authenticity of products directly by customers, since the telephone is publicly accessible and does not require special knowledge and skills.

Authentication of products is as follows. The buyer of the product reads from him a group of characters, which is an element of protection against counterfeiting, and through the terminal enters them into the system unit, in the memory of which contains a database of groups of characters printed on each of the products that make up the batch of products. The system unit remembers the group of product marks and compares them with the groups of characters that are entered

in the memory of the system unit during previous checks on the product’s podlipnosti, as well as with groups of batch marks of products contained in the database. In the absence of a group of characters in the database of the system unit or their coincidence with the groups of characters recorded in the memory of the system unit during the authentication of other products, it clearly indicates that there is a falsified product in the distribution network. The results of the authentication of products are displayed by the system unit on the terminal of the buyer of products.

Buyers of products, receiving information about the results of authentication, will not purchase counterfeit products, which will completely block their sales in the distribution network. What is achieved by protecting the batch of products from falsification.

Thus, all the essential features of a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means, made according to the utility model, prevent the falsification of products.

The utility model is illustrated by drawings. In FIG. 1. A schematic diagram of product authentication is shown.

In FIG. 2. The product is depicted with an anti-nodding protection element made in the form of a group of characters that are letters.

Pa FIG. 3. depicts a product with an anti-counterfeit element, made in the form of a group of signs, which are used as numbers and letters.

According to a utility model, a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means (Fig. 1) contains products 1, each of which has a counterfeit security element 2, and an authentication system for anti-counterfeit elements 2, containing terminals 3 and a system unit 4 with a processor and memory. The anti-counterfeiting element 2 on each of the products 1 is different, and is made in the form of a group of characters, at least some of which are random characters, and the group of characters is made in the form of a sequence of characters and consists of at least one character. In this case, the terminals 3 are made with the possibility of remote communication with the system unit 4.

It is most expedient to carry out a batch of products with anti-counterfeit means, in which the Arabic numeral is a sign.

It is also most expedient to carry out a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means, in which terminal 3 is a telephone.

Products 1 may be documents, securities, identification marks, packaging, labels, tags, consumer goods and representative products.

The anti-counterfeiting element 2 is a group of characters, at least some of which are random characters. A group of characters is made in the form of a sequence of characters and consists of at least one character. As signs, numbers (Fig. 5), letters (Fig. 2), geometric shapes (Fig. 4), etc. can be used. However, it is most advisable to use Arabic numerals as signs (Fig. 5). The group of characters is performed in the form of a sequence of characters (Fig. 2, 3, 4, 5), in which the characters are arranged in one row and follow each other. A group of characters may consist of a different number of characters, including one character, as well as characters of various kinds. For example: in FIG. Figure 3 shows a group of characters consisting of six characters of two types - numbers and letters, with the characters located in a given sequence, i.e. the first three characters are a series of numbers, the next three are a series of letters. Thus, a group of characters is characterized by the composition of the characters (type and quantity) and the sequence of characters. To a lesser extent, some of the characters that make up the group are random characters.

For example: in FIG. 5 shows a batch of products 1, consisting of three products 1, on each of which a security element 2 is applied, which is a group of characters indicated in Arabic numerals. On the first product, the first group of characters is 121625, on the second - 122321, on the third - 23811, whose first three digits form a serial number, respectively: 121, 122 and 123, and the second part are random numbers, respectively: 625, 321, 811. A group of characters may include a series of characters that encode any information, for example, lot number, date of manufacture, etc., or may consist entirely of random characters. It is advisable to use as random characters characters from a set consisting of at least two characters.

The anti-counterfeiting element 2 is placed on the product in a place that provides unhindered reading of a group of characters. A different anti-counterfeiting element 2 is applied to each product 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 5. The anti-counterfeiting element 2 is made in the manufacture of products 1, for which they use printing equipment, ink jet printers, etc., connected to a computer that has special software that allows generating groups of characters according to a given algorithm.

Terminal 3 can be a computer with a modem, telefax, and other devices that can input and output information and remotely communicate with the system unit 4. The terminal 3 can be connected to the system unit 4 by directly connecting through telephone exchanges or through an operator or groups of operators . It is most advisable to use telephones as terminals 3, including mobile ones.

System unit 4 is an electronic system with a processor and memory, which can be used as a computer with a telephone network interface unit, or equipped with a satellite communications unit, etc. The system unit 4 should provide the ability to simultaneously connect to it dozens, and, if necessary, hundreds of terminals 3 or electronic devices of each of the operators. Typically, system unit 4

located directly on the territory of an automatic telephone exchange or in a specially equipped control room.

Let us consider how the solution of the problem posed as the basis of the utility model is provided, for example, a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means depicted in FIG. 5. The batch of products 1 consists of three products 1, each of which has a counterfeit protection element 2, made in the form of a group of signs, in which Arabic numerals are used. Each group of characters is made in the form of a sequence of digits and consists of six digits. On the first product 1, the anti-counterfeiting element 2 is made in the form of a group of characters - 121625, on the second - 122321, on the third - 123811. The last three characters of each of the groups of characters are random characters that form a random number. In the first group of characters, a random number 625, in the second group - 321, in the third group - 811. The first three characters of each group of characters form the serial number of the anti-counterfeiting element 2, respectively 121, 122 and 123,

The authentication system of the element of protection against counterfeiting contains terminals 3, which are used as telephone sets, and a system unit 4 (Fig. 1) with a processor and memory, which is used as a computer connected to the telephone network via a modem. In the memory of the system unit 4 there is a database of groups of characters 121625, 122321 and 123322, which are elements of protection against counterfeiting of all products 1 included in the batch of products 1.

Counterfeiters with the aim of counterfeiting products 1 can purchase a part of a consignment of products 1 from the distribution network, for example, product 1, for which the anti-counterfeiting element 2 is a group of characters 121625. As you can see from the example, counterfeiters cannot determine in any way which group of characters to put on other products 1, because at least part of the characters in each of the groups of characters are random characters. That is, counterfeiters of products 1, having the required equipment and materials, cannot manufacture products 1 based on the samples of anti-counterfeiting elements 2 available to them, with other corresponding genuine, anti-counterfeiting elements 2.

Counterfeiters can make fake products 1, in which part of products 1 will have anti-counterfeit elements 2 corresponding to genuine products, and the main part of counterfeit products 1 will have anti-counterfeit elements 2 that are not genuine. In FIG. 6 shows a batch of counterfeit products 1, consisting of three products 1, one of which has a counterfeit protection element 2, which corresponds to the genuine one - group of characters 121625, and the other two - counterfeit anti-counterfeit elements 2 with groups of characters 122483 and 123501. The second version of falsification batch of products 1 is the implementation of fake products 1 with duplicates of genuine anti-counterfeiting elements 2. In FIG. 7 shows a batch of counterfeit products 1, consisting of three products 1, each of which has the same anti-counterfeit element 2, corresponding to the genuine anti-counterfeit element 2, which is a group of characters 121625.

Due to the fact that the batch of products 1 contains, as a means of protection against counterfeiting, the authentication system of the elements of protection against crafts 2, consisting of a plurality of terminals 3 made with the possibility of remote connection with the system unit 4 and the system unit 4 with a processor and memory, it is possible to provide preventing the fabricators of batches of products 1 with anti-counterfeiting elements 2 that are not genuine or with anti-counterfeiting elements 2 that are duplicates of genuine (Fig. 6, 7), which becomes obvious when considering the product authentication process 1.

A schematic diagram of the authentication of products 1 is shown in FIG. 1. The authentication of products 1 is as follows. The buyer 5 visually reads from the products 1 a group of characters, which is an element of protection against counterfeiting 2. Then he connects the terminal 3, which is a telephone, to the system unit 4 and dials on his keyboard a group of characters, each of which is an Arabic numeral, thereby introducing a group characters in the system unit 4, in the memory of which the base is contained. character groups of a genuine batch of products 1. System unit 4 remembers the entered character group and compares it with

available in his memory, including with groups of characters that are stored in the memory of the system unit 4, during previous authentication of products 1. The results of the comparison can be as follows:

- in the absence of the entered group of characters in the memory of the system unit 4, the anti-counterfeiting element 2, and, therefore, the product 1 are falsified. For example, the buyer 5 purchased the product 1 from a batch of counterfeit products 1 (Fig. 6) with a counterfeit protection element 2, which is a group of marks 122483 that does not correspond to the groups of marks of genuine products - 122625, 122321, 123811.This means that the anti-counterfeit element 2 and, accordingly, the product 1 is falsified.

- in the case when in the memory of the system unit 4 there is a group of characters corresponding to the genuine anti-counterfeit element 2, as well as the same group of characters was entered into the memory of the system unit 4 during the previous authentication of products 1 - means that one of the products 1, the authenticity of which has been verified previously, or the product 1, the authenticity of which is verified, is falsified. That is, the item under test 1 is probably falsified. For example: the buyer 5 purchased the product 1 from a batch of counterfeit products 1 (Fig. 7), for each of which the anti-counterfeiting element 2 is a group of characters 121625 corresponding to the genuine group of characters contained in the memory of the system unit 4. In this case, the authenticity of the product 1 was previously verified, in which the anti-counterfeiting element 2 is a group of characters 121625, this means that one of these products 1 is falsified. Check result - the product is probably falsified.

-in the case when in the memory of the system unit 4 there is a group of characters corresponding to the genuine one, and products 1 with the same anti-counterfeit security element 2 have not been checked before, i.e. group of characters, the product 1 can be both genuine and falsified. However, taking into account the fact that the information on the products being verified 1 is supplied to the system unit

4 from the set of terminals 3, the absence of the same group of characters in the name of the system unit 4 according to the results of previous checks, it allows with a high degree of probability to state that the product 1 is genuine. The result of the check - product 1 is probably genuine. For example: the buyer 5 purchased the product 1 from a batch of genuine products (Fig. 5), in which the anti-counterfeiting element 2 is a group of characters 121625, stored in the memory of the system unit 4, and the corresponding character group, which is an anti-counterfeiting element 2 of the genuine product 1 . Moreover, the memory of the system unit 4 does not contain the same group of characters recorded according to the results of previous checks. The result of the check - product 1 is probably genuine.

The results of the authentication of products 1 by their elements are prevented from counterfeiting 2 are output directly by the system unit 4 or through the operator to the terminal 3 of the buyer 5. For example, in the form of voiced text on the telephone.

Thus, due to the fact that information with groups of characters that are elements of anti-counterfeiting 2 from a variety of terminals 3 enters a single system unit 4 and is used for each subsequent authentication of products 1, any attempt by the counterfeiters to make any significant volume a batch of counterfeit products 1 with fully counterfeit anti-counterfeiting elements 2 or duplicates of genuine anti-counterfeiting elements 2 is instantly detected, which means it will be blocked by customers 5.

A batch of products with anti-counterfeit products, performed according to the utility model, allows authentication of products 1 directly by customers 5 who do not have special knowledge and skills; it makes it impossible to produce, on one sample, a genuine anti-counterfeiting element 2, anti-counterfeiting elements 2 corresponding to other genuine anti-counterfeiting elements 2, and also provides quick identification of products 1 with counterfeit anti-counterfeiting elements 2, which are duplicates of genuine ones. Buyers 5, getting information about the results

verification of the authenticity of products 1, will not purchase products 1, the authenticity of which is doubtful, which will completely block the sale of counterfeit products 1. What is achieved is the search for a batch of products from falsification.

Thus, all the essential features of a batch of products with anti-counterfeiting means, made according to the utility model, prevent the falsification of products.
