Other embodiments may still be devised according to the spirit of the disclosed embodiments, and all of the embodiments belong to the scope of the present invention. Wai.

In order to overcome the problem that the general public is unwilling to use the unknown source object and does not obtain the substantial incentive cost in the prior art, the present invention first provides a reusable object 100 as shown in the first figure, and the reusable object 100 includes the object body. 110 and information medium 120. The object body 110 can be any reusable container including a cup, a lunch box, a dinner plate, a battery, etc., and the object body 110 can be fabricated into containers having different specifications, such as different capacities, heights, widths, shapes, and the like. The reusable object 100 can be sold by different stores and different brands, but the quality of all reusable objects 100 conforms to certain specifications, including one of a plurality of specific specifications, and is suitable for reuse after cleaning. .

The reusable object 100 whose quality conforms to a certain standard can be obtained by a program such as authentication, and stored in the information medium 120, and the reusable object 100 is a part of information from a reliable source. The information medium 120 is disposed at any position on the object body 110. The information medium 120 may include a barcode for providing the first information and an electronic label for providing the second information, wherein the barcode is a two-dimensional barcode, preferably a quick response. QR code, the electronic tag is a radio frequency identification tag (RFID), and the electronic tag can read and write various information related to the reusable object 100, such as the above identification code, and information such as the specification of the object body 110.

For the user, you should be able to use the reusable object 100 with confidence. More importantly, it may be that the cleaning process is reliable enough to make him feel comfortable using it. The first information allows the user to confirm the object body in this sense. 110 comes from a reliable source. For example, at that time and most local users may be accustomed to carry portable electronic devices (such as Internet camera phones), and the reusable object 100 is cleaned in a manner suitable for cleaning, when the user reads the barcode using the handheld electronic device. Directly connected to the cloud, the cloud provides a film that the reusable object 100 is cleaned and inspected before use, allowing the user to know that the reusable object 100 used is safely cleaned and inspected, and is used in this manner. It is confirmed that the object body 110 is from a reliable source.

The second information is used to confirm that the repetitive incentive cost can be issued, and the counterfeiter for the purpose of defrauding the incentive cost is excluded, and the information such as the identification code allows the object body 110 to be proved to be from a reliable source. The second information can be combined with the first information. For example, when the reusable object 100 is cleaned and inspected, the film can continuously capture the process of cleaning and inspecting different reusable objects 100 when the user connects with the handheld electronic device. At the time, the film of the cleaning and inspection process exclusive to the specific reusable object 100 corresponding to the identification code is automatically selected according to the identification code provided by the electronic tag. In the above embodiment, the user's handheld electronic device may not have the electronic tag reading function, but the electronic tag has many excellent functions, such as the general public is not easy to copy, the information transmission has no directional requirements, and the information can be read and written in both directions. It can quickly and extensively read and write, and improve the overall management efficiency, while the barcode is easy to copy, so the designer chooses to make the information medium contain two parts.

In another embodiment, the representations or contents of the first information and the second information are the same, for example, in the user's When a mobile phone generally has an electronic tag reading function, the information medium can have only one part, that is, an electronic tag, and the electronic tag is not the only possible technology. Therefore, the information medium 120 may have different options depending on factors such as time, place and technology development.

In short, the main target reader of the first information is the user, so the implementation of the new model will consider the convenience of the current and local users to read the first information. The main target reader of the second information is the collection device of the object. Preferably, the collection device has a networking function, so the information medium may have two parts, each of which is read for the main target of the first and second information. Design. If the information medium contains two parts, the two parts may be placed at different positions on the object body, for example, the bar code may be disposed on the side of the object body, so that the user can easily see and use the handheld electronic device to read, and the electronic tag May be placed at the bottom of the object body.

In order to prevent the deliberate cost of deliberate use of the re-use of the reusable object, the information of the object can be immediately transmitted to the management terminal to avoid the information of the object before reuse. The object is re-used to encourage the price. In one embodiment, the electronic tag is for reading by an electronic tag reader in the collection device, and then the identification device recognizes the object to recover the object.

The first information has different content depending on the characteristics of the object. In one embodiment, the object is an electric vehicle battery, and the battery charging station provides a fully charged battery.
