Abstract

FIELD: information security.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to protection of products with use of modern means of identification - electronic tags. In method of creating electronic tags, each of which emits only a unique identification number, and product storage are fitted with reading electronic tags - readers - and means to transmit a unique identification number of electronic tag, in manufacture of products inserted electronic tags to label products, while placing items vault record information about services contained on labels and identification numbers corresponding to electronic labels in product database, and then connect to controller means alarm. Products are placed outside reading area, and when products enter reading zone, identification number read by reader is compared with information about product in store, and when an alarm is triggered, presence of unauthorised actions on products in store is determined.

EFFECT: technical result obtained using present invention consists in controlling a large number of objects on large areas without increasing number of used apparatus and transmitted information while maintaining reliability of identification.

Description

The invention relates to the field of systems for the protection and control of objects, mainly to prevent theft of them from storage using modern means of identification - electronic tags.

Currently, electronic tags are widely used in various industries to control the location of objects (products, goods, products, living things, etc.).

A known method of marking and identification of objects, in particular for their protection against theft, using elements of transmission systems in the form of built-in transponders and visible labels, implemented in the identification system of tangible objects containing a transmitting device, a receiving device, a protected material object that is marked by installation on of two tags - a hidden radio-frequency tag in the form of a transponder, configured to respond to a radio signal emitted by the transmitter by emitting a radio signal from the wound identification information recorded on the transponder, which can be received and processed by the receiving device, as well as a visible mark in the form of a label that is fixed on the surface of a material object. The transponder is installed on the material object separately from the label, while the transponder is passive, and the warning label is directly or indirectly indicated on the label indicating the presence of the transponder on the material object (utility model RU44855 U1, IPC G09F 3/00, published March 27, 2005). This method provides for the sharing of labels and electronic tags. However, the label is used only for visual inspection and determines the location of the reader, and the electronic tag contains a lot of data, including information about the owner of the material object. In essence, the device does not serve to prevent theft, but to search for a stolen object and determine its identity. Although the description of this technical solution indicates that it can be used for any items, in essence it is suitable only for searching and detecting large items, such as, for example, cars). Unauthorized actions can only be recorded in relation to one large object owned. To control objects stored in warehouses and stores, this method is not applicable.

The closest analogue of the claimed invention is a method of protecting products stored from unauthorized actions, which consists in creating electronic tags, and the product storage is equipped with electronic tags reading devices - readers - and means for transmitting read information, as well as signaling means or means , the triggering of which or which determine the presence of unauthorized actions on products in the warehouse (application RU 2006110263, IPC G06Q 30/00, published on 10/20/2007). The indicated source of information shows the use of the method for controlling and preventing theft of goods stored on shelves in the trading floor of the store. All product information is recorded in an electronic tag. There are essentially two types of tag information readers, so that the tag signal disappears when it is blocked and when goods are taken out of the room. It should be noted that this method requires a very large number of readers, in fact, each volumetric object or each stack of flat objects (notebooks, books, bedding or table linen) requires an individual means of reading tags. In addition, in the presence of a large number and assortment of goods and products, the problem of tag overload with information arises. It is known that the more information is transmitted, the greater the likelihood of errors during transmission. As a result, this method can be used in small rooms, such as, for example, retail stores in stores. For use in large warehouses, in particular where the bulk of the goods, or other similar stores are stored, this method cannot be used.

The objective of the invention is to remedy these disadvantages of the prototype.

The technical result obtained by using the present invention is to provide the ability to control a large number of objects over large areas without increasing the amount of equipment and information transmitted.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that in the method of protecting products stored, from unauthorized actions, which consists in creating electronic tags, and the product storage is equipped with electronic tags reading devices - readers - and means for transmitting read information, as well as a means or by means of an alarm system, the triggering of which or which determines the presence of unauthorized actions on products in the store, electronic tags, each of which emits only a unique and The identification number is embedded in the product labels during the production of these products, and when placing the products in the store, information about the products contained on the labels and identification numbers of the corresponding electronic tags is recorded in the product database, and the products are placed outside the reader reading area, and in case the product gets into in the reading zone, the unique identification number read by the reader is compared with the information on the items in the warehouse contained in the database and the issuance of information about actions on the product, and then connect to the control device a means or means of alarm.

The method is implemented as follows.

At the final stage of production, the products are labeled. Labels are integrated, for example, electronic transponder tags are sewn. No information is entered in the transponder tag except for the unique identification code-number of the tag itself assigned to it by its manufacturer.

The room or premises intended for storage of products is equipped with electronic mark reading devices - readers, which are located mainly in the passage areas and connected to transmission facilities. A database is formed to enter information on the product range (things, property) that is planned to be taken into account and controlled, with the product description (product nomenclature, batch, etc.) indicated on the label and a unique identification code corresponding to the product with the RF tag.

Designed to implement the proposed method, the equipment can be in one of two modes: in surveillance mode or in security mode.

In the observation mode, the products are taken to the warehouse, laid out on shelves outside the range of the reader. At the same time, for each product, the above product information and a unique electronic tag identification number are entered into the database. The product database is connected with the control device with the possibility of comparing the unique identification number read by the reader (in case the product falls into the range of the reader) with data on products stored in the store and issuing information about the actions of the product to the control device, electronic tags are built in the production of products in the product labels, and when placing the products in the store, information about the products contained on the labels and identification numbers of the corresponding electronic devices is recorded OK, in the data base of products related to the control device with the possibility of matching the read reader a unique identification number with data on products placed in storage, and issue of information about the actions of the product. After that, the system is put into the guard mode and the means or means of sound and / or light signaling are connected to the control device. The fact of giving an alarm signal is regarded as the presence of unauthorized actions on products in the store (for example, theft).
