Description

Online gemstone development system and gem identification system

The invention is a user who can rent a chemical vapor deposition device (CVD) and observe the cultivated gemstone at the remote end by means of the Internet, and can also control the gas flow and electric power; in addition, during the growth of the gemstone The image or photo record is archived, and a file card corresponding to the archive data is used for online inquiry, thereby forming a high anti-counterfeiting function identification method.

A gemstone of a carbon structure such as diamond can be placed on a reaction chamber by chemical vapor deposition, and then a gas containing the same carbon molecular structure is added, followed by a high temperature and a controlled gas. The flow mode slowly deposits carbon molecules in the gas on the rough stones. As the deposition effect accumulates, the gemstones gradually grow into larger gemstones, and many of them have been produced by this principle. A chemical vapor deposition device is mainly used for the production of industrial diamonds.

The above various chemical vapor deposition devices, such as the Republic of China invention patent No. I 431149 "Chemical vapor deposition equipment and its control method", and the Republic of China invention patent No. I 429778 "to microwave plasma beam chemical vapor phase The deposition system performs a device, a method and a finished product for synthesizing large-area diamonds, all of which are operated in a manufacturing plant and are subjected to a chemical vapor deposition operation of the finished product by a fixed plan of electric power and gas flow.

The above various chemical vapor deposition devices (CVD), in addition to the manufacture of industrial gemstones, can also produce gemstones for jewelry, but the average person has a poor perception of artificial gemstones, and its value is naturally low; In recent years, the technology of some artificial gemstones has become more and more advanced, and it can also produce the quality similar to that of natural gemstones. Even the general gemologists have no ability to distinguish the authenticity, unless more advanced inspection instruments are used, such as the inspection of light refraction. Equipment, or light using a hand-held magnifying glass, often have cases of identification errors, but this is not a way of identification that can be taken by gemstones, which are generally more expensive than civilians. For a long time, it is difficult to distinguish between the authenticity and the market. The phenomenon described, how to enhance the value of artificial gemstones, and the provision of a gemstone identification method with high anti-counterfeiting function are the objects to be achieved by the present invention.

The invention provides a method for designing a device with an Ethernet control interface to connect a chemical vapor deposition device (CVD), and providing a website and a design program, so that the user can perform various environmental parameters through the Internet. Control, so that equipment that needs to be operated in the field can be controlled at the remote end; in addition, a camera is added to the chemical vapor deposition device, and the image signal of the camera can also be transmitted via the network, so that the user can observe the gem formation online. Process and size.

The invention designs a website program, wherein the device rental management program allows the user to select a device to provide a station to rent the device, and then the device providing station establishes a connection relationship between the user's account and a device number, so that the user can The equipment is controlled during the effective lease period; the power and gas metering program can count the unit amount of electricity and gas purchased by the user, and deduct the unit amount accumulated during the renting of the equipment from the usable amount; User-specific accounts and interfaces are also provided to allow users to observe the formation of gemstones through the webpage and to change various control parameters according to their own research or interest.

The invention designs a control device, which has the Ethernet interface circuit, can use the network communication, and has a high-order microprocessor (CPU) for processing image information processing capability, in addition to general communication and control functions, The camera signal from the USB or 1394 interface is directly processed, and the size of each angle of the gemstone in the image can be recognized, converted into data, and transmitted to the server for query by the user.

The invention provides a digital identification method for gemstones, in which the gemstones are recorded and archived by image or photo during the growth process of the vapor deposition principle, and is matched with a certificate with a wafer card function, and the certificate corresponds to a gemstone with a specific number and Recording and archiving, the data verified by professional instruments can also be registered and stored. The relevant information must be inserted into the card reader, and the design of the website database system will be used to present the corresponding information to achieve high security. Features.

One of the functions of the present invention is to enhance the value of artificial gemstones, and the user's personal involvement in the cultivation process of the gemstones has a new sense of value for the efforts of the gemstones, which can be inferred from the popular trend of electronic chickens more than ten years ago. Consumers will have emotions about virtual images, and this real thing should be more resonating. In addition, online games with various role-playing games on the market can also prove this point. Consumers will indeed The online role played, investing a lot of money, time, and energy; from the online game market can also analyze a phenomenon, a role often costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, sometimes get tens of thousands of dollars in the auction market are lacking People are interested, but those who continue to invest in this game and spend hundreds of thousands of people are still in a constant stream, that is, others are not better trained than themselves; therefore, this psychological phenomenon can be turned into the expectation of the artificial gemstone of the present invention. Value has a different psychological effect than the value of artificial gemstones made by traditional industries.

The second effect of the present invention is to provide an experimental environment for a vapor deposition system. The type of gemstone and the temperature or gas flow rate controlled during the various stages of vapor deposition are known, and various factors affect the final growth of the gemstone. With the quality, and the best formula or process in this aspect, the relevant industry is still in the continuous research, but the average amateur researcher is not easy to invest in the purchase of a complete chemical vapor deposition device (CVD). The present invention provides equipment rental and user self-service. The observation and control functions make it easy for interested amateur researchers to conduct experiments and research.

The third function of the present invention is to provide another high-anti-counterfeiting gem identification certificate. It is known that various current printing certificates can be easily copied, and the general jewelry appraisers can obtain the license only after a short training, so the quality is not good. In the market of natural gemstones, the gemstones of civilian prices are difficult to judge because they are difficult to be identified by highly professional personnel. The method of the present invention is to use a high-security wafer card such as a financial card. As a certificate, and with the website database to provide inquiries, a diversified information record to replace the traditional simple printing and appraisers signature, become a highly reliable model of identification; and the current natural gem market success, In the case of large-scale enterprises to control the supply of goods, and to develop identification standards, it is expected that the artificial gemstones will gradually replace the market of natural gemstones through the identification of such high-prevention gemstones.
