Definitions

  • This invention relates to automatics and can be used for identification of product manufacturer or confirmation of authenticity of financial (bank) documents by identification of their consignor.
  • the well-known identification method consists in applying to an article or its packing coded information about manufacturer.
  • EAN-8 and EAN-13 EAN - European Article Numbering 8-, 13-position bar codes compatible with UCC (Universal Code Council) codes adopted in USA and Canada, have become widely spread for marking of products, coming to retail sales.
  • a bar code is applied to products in the form of symbol readable by machine (magnetic card, radiofrequency tag, visual drawing, etc) for automatic identification of products.
  • a code is decoded with the help of a reader connected to the computer data base with the information about product manufacturer.
  • the bar code in this case is accompanied by digits so that a person without any special techical equipment could obtain information about manufacturer and its or his country - with the help of special classifiers.
  • the first group of digits in this case denotes the country where the product manufacturer has been registered, the second - the individual code of the manufacturer itself.
  • the above-mentioned identification method of manufacturer is described, for instance, in the article: LSauri ⁇ a "Katrai precei - savs numurs" ("Latvijas tirdzniec ⁇ bas un rupniec ⁇ bas revealss", Riga, 1995, N 6, lpp.20-21), (L.Shaurinya "Each Product Should Have Its Own Number" ("The Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry", Riga, 1995, N 6, pp.20-21) or H.Kocoropoii H A.H ⁇ i-HHbix "A ⁇ 6y ⁇ a iirrpHXOBom KO ⁇ HpoBamiH" ("K ⁇ M ⁇ , ⁇ o ⁇ ep Ilpccc", M., ⁇ Biycr 1994, N 8, c.52-57),
  • a product manufacturer assigns to each item (packing) of his products an individual code consisting of at least two mismatching markers, for example, in the form of multiposition digital numbers of an article or numbers coded in any other way. Both corresponding markers are stored, for instance, in the file of a specially programmed computer. If a consumer needs a confirmation whether the given product belongs to the mentioned manufacturer, he sends to the address of a manufacturer one of the markers applied to the product label. According to the received marker (“password”) a manufacturer, on the basis of previously stored information, determines response marker ("response”) which corresponds to the received "password” and informs a consumer about this response marker. Comparison of the response marker to the second marker applied to the article allows to determine precisely whether the article being checked belongs to the manufacturer to whom the request was sent.
  • Manufacturer's coded address readable by the terminal sensors (at consumer's side) of communication system together with one of the markers sent to the coded address is applied to an article or its packing in order to create a fully automated process.
  • the manufacturer includes its own postal address into the batch of response message.
  • Example 1 The code consisting of two markers which, for example, include two multi-position digits, is applied to the product and coated with easily removable layer of optically opaque material.
  • the quantity of these digit positions is chosen due to the quantity of the manufactured product and the reasons excluding the possibility of getting a response by trial-and-error method. For example, there could be the following numbers: 8735218 and 3526711.
  • a consumer might inform a manufacturer about one of the markers - in the given example it is one of the 7-digit numbers, for instance, 8735218.
  • the manufacturer determines the marker-response corresponding to it (the number 3526711) and informs the consumer about it to the indicated address. Being certain that the response matches the second number on the product packing the consumer will be sure that the information about the manufacturer given in transportation documents is valid.
  • Example 2 The manufacturer applies to the product two markers in the form of letter symbols, for example: A X C Y V P and X X O X X X, and also his code address which is given to the manufacturer in the INTERNET network. The consumer informs the manufacturer to the indicated address about one of the given markers and receives the response marker on the computer display interfaced with INTERNET network. The comparison of the markers is analogous to the Example 1.
  • Example 3 The manufacturer provides a product with a label consisting of code information (including his address) in the form of special bar code or magnetic record. With the help of automatic reading stations for product identification the consumer matches the applied code with the reader sensor.
  • the second marker may be printed on the card - carrier of code magnetic records or displayed on the reading station where visual estimation of the comparison results is made, as described in Examples 1 and 2.
  • the proposed method provides high level of validity of manufacturer identification, because only the product manufacturer has the data about corresponding marker codes, and the multiposition of markers excludes their guessing.
  • control authorities could receive information about the accumulation of forged products in the given area and also about the area where illegal activities are carried out.
  • the described method may also be used for the marking of financial documents, for example, to prevent payment by false advice.
  • This method is easily realized in banking system because the existing banking communication equipment could be easily adapted to the claimed method realization.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne l'automatique et peut s'utiliser pour identifier le produit d'un fabricant ou la confirmation d'authenticité financière (banque) de documents, en fournissant l'identité de leur consignateur. Son objet est donc de valider les informations concernant le produit d'un fabricant. On remplit cet objectif de la manière décrite ci-après. Un fabricant (consignateur) affecte à chaque article (document) un code constitué de deux marques différentes, l'applique audit article et l'enregistre dans un fichier d'un ordinateur spécialement programmé à cet effet. Un consommateur peut lire l'une des marques et l'envoyer au fabricant qui vérifie que la deuxième marque correspond à la marque reçue et informe la place commerciale du résultat de cette lecture. L'authenticité d'appartenance du produit au destinataire à qui la demande a été envoyée est déterminée par la concordance entre les deux marques, celle reçue du fabricant, et l'autre, appliquée au produit.
