Electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting system and method thereof

The present invention relates to an anti-counterfeiting system, and more particularly to an electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting system.

It is very common to order service content through the Internet service platform. In particular, there are more and more applications for mobile networks. Please refer to the first figure, which is the electronic voucher generated by the subscription of the service content through the Internet service platform. A schematic diagram of the user can obtain a lot of relevant information through the application. Some types of service content are required to use the electronic voucher generated after the order as the basis for consumption. However, the electronic voucher cannot be identified by identity or The mechanism of security protection, therefore, the possibility of being copied or stolen by other users by taking pictures or other illegal means.

In order to avoid the above situation, one application method is to use a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag as an electronic voucher, but each time the user subscribes, the merchant providing the service content needs to provide the RFID certificate to the user for identification use. This also has a relatively high cost.

The electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting system of the present invention operates in an electronic device. The electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting system comprises an input unit, a processing unit, a detecting unit and an output unit.

The input unit is configured to receive an electronic voucher, the processing unit is connected to the input unit, and the processing unit processes the electronic voucher to generate a variable anti-counterfeit voucher, and outputs the variable anti-counterfeit voucher via the output unit The electronic device.

The detecting unit is connected to the processing unit, and the detecting unit detects whether the electronic device receives an acknowledgement indication. If the electronic device does receive the confirmation indication, the detecting unit sends the confirmation instruction to the processing unit, and the processing unit The variable security document is processed to generate an identification notification, and finally the output unit outputs the identification notification to the electronic device.

The invention also provides an electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting method, which is operated in an electronic device. The electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting method comprises the following steps: Step 1 receives an electronic voucher; Step 2 processes the electronic voucher to generate a variable security document, and outputs the variable security document to the electronic device; Step 3 detects whether an acknowledgement is received, and if so, the variable The security document is processed to generate an identification notification, and the identification notification is outputted to the electronic device. If not, the variable security document is continuously outputted to the electronic device; and the Step 4 detects whether a cancellation instruction is received. If yes, the identification notification is returned to the original variable security document, and the variable security document is outputted to the electronic device. If not, the identification notification is continuously outputted to the electronic device.

After the electronic voucher is processed by the electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting method of the present invention, the problem of protecting the electronic voucher from being accidentally pirated and stolen can be achieved.

The advantages and spirit of the present invention, as well as the more detailed embodiments, can be further understood from the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to the second figure, which is a schematic diagram of the electronic voucher anti-counterfeiting system provided by the present invention.
