According to the method of determining the authenticity of merchandise according to the present invention, first, if a purchaser requests for determining the authenticity of merchandise through a cellular phone, wired phone, personal data assistant (PDA), notebook computer, personal computer, or other terminals 10 capable of wired or wireless communication, a merchandise authentication server 100 requests for a merchandise code safe# from the purchaser terminal 10, and the purchaser provides the merchandise code safe# to the merchandise authentication server 100. Next, the merchandise authentication server 100 compares the merchandise code safe# received from the purchaser with a merchandise code safe# obtained from the manufacturer and
stored in a database 110 when the merchandise is shipped.
According to the result of the comparison, the merchandise authentication server 100 determines the authenticity of the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser. Here, the merchandise code has a form shown in
FIG. 2 and is described below with reference to FIG. 3.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagrammatic view showing an example of a merchandise code safe# according to the present invention; The merchandise code shown in the figure contains information on manufacturer (e.g., Chanel or AJU), manufacturing date, manufacturing place, manufacturing factory, model name, unique merchandise number, and sales area. The merchandise code in the figure shows that 1) the manufacturer (brand name) is AJU, 2) the manufacturing date is August, 2006, 3) the manufacturing country of the merchandise is Chine, 4) the manufacturing factory of the merchandise is ABC, 5) the model name of the merchandise is MONA, 6) the unique number of the merchandise is JFJH789, and
7) the sales area of the merchandise is KOR 033 (033 is a store number in Korea) .
Here, the fields listed in item numbers 1) to 7) are separated by three delimiters V 21 to 23, and the purchaser can easily understand the fields listed in item numbers 1) to
7) through the regions 24 to 27 separated by the delimiters
V 21 to 23.
Understanding the fields listed in item numbers 1) to 7 ) means that the history of production, distribution, and target sales area of the merchandise that a purchaser desires to purchase could be known. As the purchaser knows such information, it is difficult to distribute counterfeit
merchandise, and thus those who plan to distribute counterfeit merchandise will get into difficulties of previously determining a sales area before manufacturing counterfeit merchandise. Next, if the merchandise code safe# of the merchandise that the purchaser desires to purchase or has purchased exists in the database 110, the merchandise authentication server 100 requests purchaser information FC# from the purchaser's terminal 10. The purchaser information FC# can be configured with the purchaser's name, resident registration number, driver's license number, mobile terminal number, purchase store, purchase date, and a portion of a phrase or sentence that the purchaser desires.
However, in order to protect privacy of an individual, the purchaser information is preferably configured with insignificant information.
FIG. 4 shows an example of the purchaser information FC#. The purchaser information FC# in the figure shows 1) 061224: the date of purchase, December 24, 2006, 2) KOR 033: the sales store number where the merchandise is purchased, 3) ntkskim: identification or a unique symbol of the purchaser, and 4) Mother, congratulations on your 65th birthday: a memorandum or reminiscence that the purchaser left on the merchandise . If the purchaser provides the purchaser information FC# to the merchandise authentication server 100, the merchandise authentication server 100 combines the merchandise code safe# of the merchandise that the purchaser has purchased with the purchaser information FC# and stores the combined merchandise code safe# and purchaser information FC# into the database 110 as information that is unique in the world (safe#+FC# = only one number in the world) , which becomes a criterion for
determining the authenticity of the merchandise and cannot be changed or deleted.
The merchandise code safe#, purchaser information FC#, and unique merchandise code safe#+FC# can be configured in a variety of forms based on the policies of a brand maker or manufacturer, character of the merchandise, and the like. However, they should be configured with insignificant information in order to protect information on an enterprises and individual, and systemized so as to be easily understood by all ordinary people and confirmed regardless of time and space. Describing the principle of the present invention using the exemplified merchandise code safe# and purchaser information FC#, 1) a manufacturer (or a brand maker) inputs a merchandise code safe# in the database 110 as shown below and marks the merchandise code on merchandise.
Brand name : AJU
2) When a purchaser desires to purchase merchandise of merchandise number JFJH789 among the merchandise shown in the table, the merchandise number JFJH789 marked on the merchandise is confirmed from the database 110. If the merchandise number in the database is matched to the merchandise code safe# marked on the merchandise and purchaser information FC# does not exist in the database, the merchandise is confirmed as genuine merchandise, and the
purchaser inputs purchaser information FC# as shown below, thereby protecting the genuine merchandise through the unique merchandise code safe#+FC#, i.e., the purchaser information FC# combined with the merchandise code safe#, and leaving reminiscence on the merchandise. Brand name: AJU
As described above, if the merchandise is authenticated as genuine merchandise by confirming the merchandise code safe# and existence of purchaser information FC# before purchasing the merchandise, the purchaser inputs the purchaser information FC# and creates a unique merchandise code safe#+FC#, i.e., the merchandise code safe# combined with the purchaser information FC#, thereby protecting the merchandise. If the purchaser does not input the purchaser information FC# after purchasing the merchandise, since copies of the merchandise can be manufactured using thereof, it is desirable to have the sales store input the purchase date, purchase store, and the like. Other than the method of simply combining the merchandise code safe# with the purchaser information FC# recorded in the database 110 as shown in the example
described above, the merchandise code safe# and the purchaser information FC# can be digitized and converted into a new purchase code according to a predetermined arithmetic operation rule to protect genuine merchandise and determine authenticity thereof. That is, after the purchaser's merchandise code safe# and purchaser information FC# are registered in the database 110, the purchaser provides the purchaser code assigned to the purchaser to the merchandise authentication server 100 to have the merchandise authentication server 100 confirm and authenticate the merchandise code safe# and the purchaser information FC# through the purchaser code, thereby determining the authenticity of the merchandise.
FIG. 4 is a view conceptually showing the process of connecting to a merchandise authentication server 100 by a user.
As shown in the figure, if a purchaser connects to the merchandise authentication server 100 using the terminal 10 and provides the merchandise code safe# of the merchandise that the purchaser has purchased, the merchandise authentication server 100 compares a merchandise code safe# previously stored in the database 110 with the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser, and if the merchandise codes are matched and purchaser information FC# does not exist in the database 110, the merchandise authentication server 100 authenticates the merchandise as genuine merchandise and requests purchaser information FC# .
In response the request for purchaser information FC#, the purchaser provides purchaser information FC# to the merchandise authentication server 100, and the merchandise authentication server 100 provides the purchaser information FC# to the database 110 to combine the purchaser information
FC# with the merchandise code safe# that is previously stored in the database 110, and creates a unique merchandise code safe#+FC# that is unique in the world, thereby protecting genuine merchandise and determining the authenticity of the merchandise.
FIG. 5 shows a flowchart showing a method of determining the authenticity of merchandise according to an embodiment of the present invention.
First, the operator of the merchandise authentication server 100 cooperates with a manufacturer and agrees on a merchandise code safe# to be assigned to the merchandise manufactured by the manufacturer (S401) . The manufacturer marks the merchandise code safe# on manufactured merchandise according to the form of the agreed merchandise code safe#. The merchandise code can be marked in a method of printing a code on merchandise, a method of engraving or embossing a code on merchandise, a method of attaching a code in the form of a sticker using a hologram, or the like. Next, after the manufacturer provides the merchandise code safe# to the merchandise authentication server 100 (S402) , the manufacturer distributes its merchandise through a distributor (S403) .
Next, after the distributed merchandise is provided to a final purchaser, if the purchaser requests to confirm the authenticity of the merchandise (S404), the merchandise authentication server 100 requests the merchandise code safe# marked on the merchandise from the purchaser, and the purchaser provides the merchandise code safe# marked on the merchandise in response to the request (S405) . At this point, it goes without saying that the merchandise authentication server 100 can request the merchandise code safe# and the purchaser can provide the merchandise code safe# through a
website, wired or wireless phone, automated response service (ARS) , or short message service (SMS) .
In the case where the merchandise authentication server 100 requests the merchandise code safe# from the purchaser through a website, the merchandise authentication server 100 can be provided with a web service module and guides the purchaser to input the merchandise code safe# through the web service module. Then, the purchaser inputs the merchandise code safe# of the merchandise that the purchaser has purchased (or desires to purchase) following the guide, and the merchandise authentication server 100 compares the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser with merchandise codes safe# stored in the database 110.
Next, the merchandise authentication server 100 determines whether the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser also exists in the database 110 (S406) .
1) If the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser does not exist in the database 110, the merchandise authentication server 100 determines the merchandise as a counterfeit (S407) and notifies the fact to the purchaser (or a person who desires to purchase) .
2) If the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser exists in the database 110, it is determined whether purchaser information FC# exists in the database (S408) . If the purchaser information FC# exists, it is probable that the merchandise can be a copy of the merchandise, and thus the merchandise authentication server 100 notifies the fact to purchaser's communication means (a cellular phone, wired or wireless phone, personal computer, PDA, or the like) , and guides the purchaser not to purchase the merchandise (S409) .
3) If the merchandise code safe# provided by the
purchaser exists in the database 110, it is determined whether purchaser information FC# exists in the database
(S408) . If the purchaser information FC# does not exist, the merchandise authentication server 100 authenticates the merchandise corresponding to the merchandise code provided by the purchaser as genuine merchandise, requests the purchaser to input purchaser information FC# (S410) , combines the purchaser information FC# with the merchandise code safe#
(S411) , and stores the combined purchaser information FC# and merchandise code safe# into the database 110, thereby confirming the authenticity of the merchandise and protecting the genuine merchandise.
Accordingly, for the merchandise code safe# for which an authentication request has been issued by the purchaser, the merchandise authentication server 100 1) determines the authentication target merchandise as a copy of the merchandise if the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser does not exist in the database 110, 2) notifies not to purchase the merchandise through any one of a mobile terminal, phone, and personal computer if purchaser information FC# corresponding to the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser exists in the database 110, together with the merchandise code safe#, and 3) determines the merchandise as genuine merchandise if the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser exists in the database 110 and, even though the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser is matched, purchaser information FC# does not exists in the database.
Next, although the same merchandise code safe# as the merchandise code safe# provided by the purchaser is provided in the database 110, if purchaser information FC# corresponding to the merchandise code safe# does not exist in
the database 110, the merchandise authentication server 100 requests purchaser information FC# from the purchaser (S410) . Next, the purchaser provides the purchaser information FC# to the merchandise authentication server 100 in response to the request from the merchandise authentication server 100, and the merchandise authentication server 100 combines the purchaser information FC# with the merchandise code safe# of the purchased merchandise S411 and stores the combined purchaser information FC# and the merchandise code safe# into the database 110 (S412) .
At this point, the merchandise authentication server 100 creates a new unique merchandise code safe#+FC# by combining the purchaser information FC# with the merchandise code safe# and stores the created unique code safe#+FC# into the database 110, thereby protecting genuine merchandise and determining the authenticity of the merchandise.
