Description

The utility model relates to means of preventing and protecting cell phones from misappropriation and theft.

A known method of authenticating an object, based on the fact that identifying information is placed on the object, all or part of the identifying information is unique, unique to this object, all or part of the identifying information is stored in a computer memory that is not associated with the object, whence they are asked for verification all or part of the identifying information and compare it with that printed on the object (RF application No. 2003104401, IPC 7 G 06 K 5/00, 2004)

The disadvantage of this method is the complexity of the system, ensuring the implementation of this method, the need to supply the system with expensive devices.

A known method for identifying a document is documented, including applying a marking invisible under normal lighting, performed by a luminescent fine-crystalline composition, including gadolinium oxysulfide activated by terbium, and then visualizing it by illuminating the surface of the document with an infrared and / or ultraviolet radiation source, recording the glow and identifying the document ( RF patent No. 2253665, IPC 7 C 09 K 11/84, 2005)

The disadvantage of this method is the narrow scope, because the described method can only be used for marking on paper.

A known system for identifying objects with an identifier, comprising at least one user means for transmitting a request and / or receiving messages, configured to communicate via a communication network with an identifier authentication device, including a means for receiving and transmitting messages, designed to communicate with said user means the output of which is connected to a means of searching for data upon request, with a means of identifying a user (prototype patent of the Russian Federation No. 2223544, IPC 7 G 06 K 9/00, 2004)

The disadvantage of this system is its complexity, as well as focus on solving other problems.

Currently, the problem of searching for stolen cell phones and preventing the appearance of stolen cell phones in the secondary circulation of trading networks has become urgent. With the existing sales system and a large number of mobile operators, it is almost impossible to determine the true owner of the phone, since there is not enough information on the phone itself, and all information about the owners is scattered and not collected into a single database.

The task solved by the utility model is to create a system with which it is possible to implement additional measures to prevent and protect against unlawful seizure and theft of cell phones, as well as the treatment of stolen cell phones in a second circulation and return to their true owners.

The problem is solved due to the fact that a cell phone identification system has been created that contains a cell phone having identifying information printed, including a phosphor label that is practically invisible under normal lighting, a means of exciting the phosphor, and some of the identification information is unique, means for transmitting and receiving messages, interconnected and with means for identifying information, including a data memory unit for identification and means for searching data by ID identifying information.

Part of the identifying information printed on the cell phone is made in the form of a collapsing hologram.

As a unique identifying information printed on a cell phone, the name of the manufacturer and the serial number of the phone can be used.

Means for transmitting and receiving messages are made in the form of known means, for example, telephone, and / or fax, and / or walkie-talkie and / or other similar means.

The means of identifying and searching data by identifying information is made in the form of a computer, which allows identifying by name, number, code, etc. using well-known programs.

The technical result from the use of the claimed utility model is that the application of identifying information in the form of a phosphor mark, a collapsing hologram on a cell phone and entering the data on the owner of such a phone into the database will prevent the sale of stolen phones, quickly determine the true owner of the stolen phone, the seized internal affairs bodies (the requesting party) using a single database created by the database holder.

The presence of a non-erasable phosphor mark and means of excitation of the phosphor luminescence will make it possible to exclude the secondary circulation of identified phones among respectable users who do not suspect the origin of the purchased telephone, and will also allow the requested party to quickly identify the telephone equipped with such a mark during search activities , as well as inspections of stolen outlets.

The availability of means for transmitting and receiving messages interconnected with an information identification tool, including a data storage unit for identification and a means of searching for data from identifying information, allows you to create a single database of true owners of cell phones and to ensure prompt receipt of reliable information about the owners in case of theft.

The creation and use of such a system will not only accelerate the process of tracing stolen phones, but will also become a preventive measure to prevent such crimes.

Figure 1 is a diagram of an identification system.

To create a cell phone identification system, the points of sale of cell phones and / or payment points for using cellular communication are pre-equipped with means for identifying cell phones, namely, means for applying a phosphor mark 1, which is practically invisible under normal lighting, with collapsing holograms 2, with plates with individual codes 3 intended for owners of cell phones 4 having the identification information listed above applied to them.

The system comprises means for transmitting and receiving messages 5, for example, a regular telephone, or a fax or walkie-talkie or computer, which are connected to each other and to means 6 for identifying information. Means

6 includes a data storage unit 7 for identification and a means 8 for searching data from the identifying information for verifying the authenticity of the identifying information. As a means 6, any standard device can be used, for example, a computer with appropriate software that can be identified by name, number, code, etc. and comprising a data memory unit for collecting and processing identifying information and a means of searching for data from the identifying information.

Some of the identifying information is unique.

As non-unique identifying information printed on the phone, in addition to the phosphor mark 1, a collapsing hologram 2, the name of the manufacturer, is used. As a unique identifying information printed on the phone, use the serial number of the manufacturer of the cell phone, as well as individual codes of phone owners, printed on plate 3.

The system is also equipped with a device 9 for verifying the authenticity of identification information printed on a cell phone, namely, a means for exciting a phosphor, for example, an infrared and / or ultraviolet radiation source, causing a phosphor mark 1 to glow (currency detector).

A means of searching for data by identifying information, a data memory block — all this can be combined in a computer, or can be performed in separate blocks, data on a missing cell phone 4 are entered into the memory block.

To increase the reliability of detection of stolen phones, it is possible to apply a label to each batch of phones (for example, monthly during registration), which appears in a different wavelength range.

The system operates as follows.

Means for identifying cell phones are applied to cell phones at their points of sale and / or at points of receipt of payment for using cellular communications, namely, they are marked with a phosphor mark 1, which is almost invisible under normal lighting, a collapsing hologram 2 is glued to the cell phone and transmitted to the user a plate with an individual unique code 3 intended for the user (subject to the consent of the user). Labeled Phone and Code Details

the user is automatically entered into the means 6 of the identification of the user and the requester.

In the event of a force majeure event (theft or loss of a cell phone), the owner of the labeled cell phone 4 using the means 5, for example, a telephone, enters the system, connects to the same means and transmits to the means 6 information about the lost (stolen) phone. Means 6 identifies the owner by the code assigned to him, indicated on plate 3 and entered into the database and enters information about the force majeure event into the database. Further, the owner notifies the applicant of the force majeure event (internal affairs bodies). An interrogator having a device 9, if a telephone is detected during search operations with identification information printed on it, which is determined using device 9 for verifying the authenticity of identification information printed on a cell phone, namely, a means for exciting a phosphor, for example, an infrared source and / or ultraviolet radiation causing luminescence of the phosphor mark 1 (currency detector). Next, the requestor using the means 5 enters the system, connects to a similar means with the means 6 and requests the details of the true owner. The system, provided that the means 6 identifies the requestor, transfers the necessary information to him, which allows with sufficient reliability to remove the cell phone for transmission to the true owner.

In the case of the receipt of marked phones in the secondary circulation (to a pawnshop, purchase, etc.), the presence of identifying information on it (phosphor marks, holograms) will prevent its further implementation and, with the help of the requesting party, return to the true owner, which is determined when using the claimed system.
