Description

VEHICLE PART DISTRIBUTION CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE PART DISTRIBUTION CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE PART AUTHENTICATION METHOD

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application is based on Chinese Patent Application No. 201610655904.7 filed on August 11, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle part distribution control system, a vehicle part distribution control method, and a vehicle part authentication method.

Conventionally, distribution of vehicle parts is not monitored and controlled under a strict rule, and an end user who uses the vehicle part is incapable of determining whether the vehicle part is an authenticated product. Further, the end user is also incapable of track distribution information of the vehicle part.

FIG. 5 shows an example of an anti-counterfeiting information storing element according to a currently used related art. In this example, the product name, model number, company name and contact information are simply printed on a label and the label is attached to a package of the vehicle part. Thus, it is difficult to determine whether the vehicle part is an authenticated product only based on the label and the information printed on the label. Regarding this difficulty, printing of a two-dimensional code on the package of the vehicle part is considered for anti-counterfeiting purpose. However, the two-dimensional code may also be easily counterfeited by an unauthenticated third party. Thus, the unauthenticated third party can easily copy the two-dimensional code and print the copied two-dimensional code on a package of a counterfeit product. Then, the unauthenticated third party sells the counterfeit product on the market.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the currently used vehicle part distribution control method, manufacturing information is not managed in each manufacturing step of the vehicle part. Further, monitor on the product is not carried out in each distribution step of the vehicle part from one distribution node to another distribution node. Thus, the end user who finally uses the vehicle part cannot determine whether the vehicle part is an authenticated product or not, and cannot track the distribution route of the vehicle part. Thus, the end user cannot authenticate the vehicle part at an early time when purchasing the vehicle part on the market.

Summary

In view of the foregoing difficulties, it is an object of the present disclosure to provide a vehicle part distribution control system, a vehicle part distribution control method, and a vehicle part authentication method, each of which enables a simple authentication of a vehicle part and enables a track to a distribution route of the vehicle part so that an end user can safely purchase an authenticated product. Further, the present disclosure also enables specifying of an unauthenticated party who manufactures a counterfeit product by tracking a distribution route of the vehicle part when a malfunction occurs in the purchased vehicle part.

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle part distribution control system includes an anti-counterfeiting information storing module, a database, a distribution information generation module, an anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module, and a code matching module.

The anti-counterfeiting information storing module includes a two-dimensional code and a security strip, the two-dimensional code stores an encrypted code, and the security strip has an anti-counterfeiting feature. The encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code and the anti-counterfeiting feature of the security strip correspond to the anti-counterfeiting information stored in the anti-counterfeiting information storing module. The database stores a preset encrypted code of the vehicle part and product information of the vehicle part. The product information of the vehicle part is correlated with the preset encrypted code of the vehicle part. The distribution information generation module generates distribution information of the vehicle part when distribution of the vehicle part starts. The distribution information generation module transmits the generated distribution information to the database, and the database stores the distribution information transmitted from the distribution information generation module. The anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module scans the two-dimensional code of the vehicle part and acquires the encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code. The code matching module performs a data matching between the encrypted code acquired by the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module and the preset encrypted code stored in the database. The code matching module transmits the distribution information stored in the database to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module when the data matching succeeds.

With this vehicle part distribution control system, authentication of the vehicle part can be carried out in a simple manner, and a distribution route of the vehicle part can be tracked. Thus, an end user can safely purchase an authenticated vehicle part.

According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle part distribution control method includes: generating anti-counterfeiting information of a vehicle part in an anti-counterfeiting information storing module, the anti-counterfeiting information storing module including a security trip having an anti-counterfeiting feature and a two-dimensional code storing an encrypted code, the encrypted code being generated and stored in the two-dimensional code and the anti-counterfeiting information storing module being attached to a package of the vehicle part in a packaging process of the vehicle part, the encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code and the anti-counterfeiting feature of the security strip corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting information; storing the generated encrypted code in a database as a preset encrypted code; storing product information of the vehicle part in correlation with the preset encrypted code in the database; generating distribution information of the vehicle part using a distribution information generation module when distribution of the vehicle part starts; transmitting the distribution information to the database and the database storing the received distribution information; acquiring the encrypted code, as the anti-counterfeiting information, by scanning the two-dimensional code using an anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module; performing a data matching between the acquired encrypted code and the preset encrypted code stored in the database; and transmitting the distribution information from the database to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module when the data matching succeeds.

With this vehicle part distribution control method, advantages similar to the advantages provided by the vehicle part distribution control system according to the first aspect of the present disclosure can be provided.

According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a vehicle part authentication method is provided.

With this vehicle part authentication method, an end user can easily perform an authentication to a purchased vehicle part.

The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description made with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a vehicle part distribution control system according to the present disclosure; FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an anti-counterfeiting information storing module; FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a vehicle part distribution control method according to the present disclosure; FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a vehicle part authentication method according to the present disclosure; FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of an anti-counterfeiting information storing element according to a related art; and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a vehicle part distribution control method according to a related art.

The following will describe an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to the drawings.

A configuration of a vehicle part distribution control system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle part distribution control system 1 according to the present disclosure includes an anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 attached to a package of a vehicle part. The anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 includes a two-dimensional code (2D CODE) 11 and a security strip 12. In the drawings, "INFO" indicates information.

In a packaging process of the vehicle part, an encrypted code is generated and stored in the two-dimensional code 11, and the two-dimensional code 11 is attached on the package of the vehicle part as a part of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10. At the same time, the generated encrypted code is transmitted to a database (DB) 20. The database 20 stores the received encrypted code as a preset encrypted code. The database 20 further correlates the stored preset encrypted code with product information of the packaged vehicle part in one to one manner. The anti-counterfeiting information storing module further includes the security strip12 which has an anti-counterfeiting feature. The anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 is attached to the package of the vehicle part. In the present disclosure, the encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code 11 and the anti-counterfeiting feature of the security strip 12 correspond to the anti-counterfeiting information stored in the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10.

The product information of the vehicle part includes an identification code, a packaging date, a plant exit date of the vehicle part. The identification code of the vehicle part is provided by a character string engraved on the vehicle part.

The anti-counterfeiting feature of the security strip 12 is one of a first feature or a second feature. The first feature is provided by an image or a character which is visible in a direction oblique to the image or the character and invisible in a direction perpendicular to the image or the character. The second feature is provided by an image or a character which is visible through a polarizer, such as a polariscope, a polarizing prism, or a polarized lens.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10. In this example, the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 is provided by a label. The two-dimensional code 11 and the security strip12 are printed on the label. The label is configured such that once the label is attached to the package of the vehicle part, it is difficult to completely remove the label from the package of the vehicle part. That is, the label is configured such that an entire part of the label is inseparable from the package once the label is attached to the package of the vehicle part. With this configuration, a reuse of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 can be prevented. For example, when a third-party acquires the package to which the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 is attached, the third-party cannot re-package a counterfeit product using the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 since the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 cannot be completely removed from the package. Thus, a reuse of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 and re-packaging of the vehicle part can be prevented.

According to the present disclosure, the vehicle part distribution control system 1 includes a distribution information generation module 30. When the distribution of the vehicle part starts, that is, when the vehicle part logistics starts, an operator or a serviceman disposed at each distribution node scans the two-dimensional code 11 of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 using the distribution information generation module 30 and acquires the encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code 11. Then, the distribution information generation module 30 generates the distribution information of the vehicle part, and transmits the generated distribution information to the database 20 by establishing a communicable connection with the database 20. Then, the database 20 stores the received distribution information in correlation with the preset encrypted code of the vehicle part that corresponds to the encrypted code transmitted from the distribution information generation module 30.

The distribution information of the vehicle part includes the identification code, the packaging date, the plant exit date, a warehouse entry date, a warehouse entry location, a warehouse exit date, and a warehouse exit location of the vehicle part.

With the above-described configuration, the distribution information of the vehicle part can be stored in the database 20, and the distribution route of the vehicle part can be tracked based on the distribution information.

According to the present disclosure, the vehicle part distribution control system 1 includes an anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40 and a code matching module 50. The code matching module 50 is integrated with the database 20. When the end user acquires the vehicle part, the end user can scan, using the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40, the two-dimensional code 11 of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 attached on the package. By scanning the two-dimensional code 11, the end user can acquire the encrypted code. Then, the code matching module 50 performs a data matching between the encrypted code acquired by the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40 and the preset encrypted code stored in the database 20. When the data matching performed by the code matching module 50 succeeds, the database 20 transmits, to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40, the distribution information which is correlated with the preset encrypted code that is successfully matched with the acquired encrypted code.

With the above-described configuration, the end user can acquire the identification code, the packaging date, the plant exit date, the warehouse entry date, the warehouse entry location, the warehouse exit date, and the warehouse exit location of the vehicle part. Based on the acquired information, the end user can determine whether the vehicle part is an authenticated product distributed in an authenticated route.

When the data matching performed by the code matching module 50 fails, that is, when the database 20 does not include the preset encrypted code corresponding to the acquired encrypted code, the database 20 transmits no information to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40. That is, the database 20 forbids transmission of the distribution information to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40.

With the above-described configuration, the end user can determine that the vehicle part is a non-registered product, that is, the vehicle part is not the authenticated product.

According to the present disclosure, the vehicle part distribution control system 1 may include an adder 21. Specifically, the database 20 of the vehicle part distribution control system 1 may include the adder 21. Each time the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40 receives the distribution information from the database 20, that is, each time the end user performs an authentication to the vehicle part, the adder 21 increments a scanning count by one. When the scanning count increases to be equal to a preset count, the database 20 forbids transmission of the distribution information to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40. That is, after the times of authentication increases to a preset times, the authentication is disabled.

With the above-described configuration, even when a third party acquires a package which has been used but is maintained in a complete state, a reuse of the package can be prevented. The reason will be described. Suppose that the end user scans the two-dimensional code 11 on the package using the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40. When the end user cannot acquire, via the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40, the distribution information transmitted from the database 20, the end user can determine that the vehicle part has been authenticated before the end user acquires the vehicle part. Thus, a reuse of the package of the vehicle part can be effectively prevented.

According to the present disclosure, the vehicle part distribution control system 1 may include a history storage 22. Specifically, the database 20 of the vehicle part distribution control system 1 may include the history storage 22. The history storage 22 stores transmission history of the distribution information from the database 20 to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40. When the two-dimensional code 11 of the vehicle part is scanned by the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40 and the transmission history exists in the history storage 22, the history storage 22 transmits the stored transmission history of the distribution information to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40.

With the above-described configuration, the end user can determine that the vehicle part has been authenticated by another end user before the end user acquires the vehicle part. That is, the end user can determine that the vehicle part has been used before the end user acquires the vehicle part. Thus, the end user can determine that the vehicle part is not an authenticated product or can determine that the vehicle part is not distributed through an authenticated route.

The following will describe a vehicle part distribution control method according to the present disclosure with reference to FIG. 3. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the vehicle part distribution control method according to the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 3, in a packaging process of the vehicle part, the manufacturer generates the two-dimensional code 11 which is correlated with the vehicle part in one to one manner, and prints the two-dimensional code 11 on a label of the vehicle part. Herein, the label is provided as an example of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10. Then, the manufacturer scans the two-dimensional code 11 using a scanner, such as a scanning spear, and transmits the encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code 11 as a preset encrypted code to the database 20. In response to the receipt of the preset encrypted code, the database 20 stores the product information of the vehicle product in correlation with the preset encrypted code. The product information of the vehicle part may include the identification code, the packaging date, and the plant exit date of the vehicle part. Further, the security strip 12 is also attached to the label of the vehicle part.

After the distribution of the vehicle part starts, at each distribution node, an operator or a serviceman scans the two-dimensional code 11 using a scanning spear, and acquires the encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code. Then, the distribution information of the vehicle part is generated by a computer disposed at the distribution node, and the distribution information is transmitted to the database 20 together with the readout encrypted code via a wireless or wired communication established between the computer and the database 20. The distribution information generated at the distribution node includes the identification code, the packaging date, the plant exit date, the warehouse entry location, the warehouse exit date, and the warehouse exit location. Then, the database 20 stores the received distribution information in correlation with the preset encrypted code. In this configuration, the scanning spear and the computer disposed at the distribution node corresponds to the distribution information generation module 30.

When the vehicle part is distributed to the end user, the end user can scan the two-dimensional code 11 attached on the package of the vehicle part using a mobile phone. Herein, the mobile phone is described as an example of the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40. When the end user acquires the encrypted code stored in the two-dimensional code 11, the end user transmits the acquired encrypted code to the code matching module 50. Then, the code matching module 50 performs a data matching between the received encrypted code and the preset encrypted code stored in the database 20. When the data matching succeeds, the database 20 transmits, to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40, the distribution information correlated with the preset encrypted that is successfully matched with the acquired encrypted code.

In an embodiment, after each transmission of the distribution information from the database 20 to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40, that is, each time the end user performs an authentication to the vehicle part, the adder 21 of the database 20 increments an authentication count by one. When the authentication count increases to be equal to a preset count, the database 20 forbids transmission of the distribution information to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40.

In another embodiment, the history storage 22 of the database 20 stores scan history of the two-dimensional code 11 performed by the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40. When the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40 is used to scan the two-dimensional code 11 in next time, the scan history stored in the history storage 22 is transmitted to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40.

The following will describe a vehicle part authentication method according to the present disclosure with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the vehicle part authentication method according to the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 4, before the end user prepares to use the vehicle part, the end user determines whether the security strip 12 of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 is visible according to a predetermined method. When the anti-counterfeiting feature of the security strip 12 is visible (S1: YES), the process proceeds to S2. When the anti-counterfeiting feature of the security strip 12 is invisible (S1: NO), the vehicle part is determined to be a counterfeit product and the authentication of the vehicle part is ended in S5. At S2, the end user scans the two-dimensional code 11 of the anti-counterfeiting information storing module 10 using a mobile phone or the like, and acquires the encrypted code. Then, the end user transmits the acquired encrypted code to the code matching module 50 at S2. The code matching module 50 performs a data matching between the received encrypted code and the preset encrypted code stored in the database 20 at S3. When the data matching succeeds (S3: YES), the code matching module 50 transmits the distribution information correlated with the preset encrypted code to the mobile phone, which functions as the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40, at S40. At the same time, the code matching module 50 notifies the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40 that the vehicle part is an authenticated product. When the data matching fails (S3: NO), the authentication of the vehicle part is ended at S5.

While the disclosure has been described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the disclosure is not limited to the preferred embodiments and constructions. The disclosure is intended to cover various modification and equivalent arrangements. In addition, the various combinations and configurations, which are preferred, other combinations and configurations, including more, less or only a single element, are also within the spirit and scope of the disclosure.

In the foregoing embodiment, the scanning spear and the computer combined together is described as an example of the distribution information generation module 30. The present disclosure is not limited to this example. Under a condition that the two-dimensional code can be scanned by a scanning tool and the scanned information can be transmitted to the database 20, other configurations can be used as the distribution information generation module 30.

In the foregoing embodiment, the code matching module 50 is integrated with the database 20. The present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. Under a condition that the code matching module 50 can: receive the encrypted code from the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40; perform a data matching between the received encrypted code and the preset encrypted code stored in the database 20; and transmit, to the anti-counterfeiting information acquiring module 40, the distribution information stored in the database 20 correlated with the preset encrypted code in response to the success of the data matching, the code matching module 50 can be properly disposed without limitation. For example, the code matching module 50 may be disposed separate from the database 20.
