Detailed ways

The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which,

Optical tags transmit information by emitting different lights, and the information conveyed by the optical tags can change over time. 1A shows an optical tag suitable for the anti-counterfeiting method of the present invention, which includes a 9×9 array composed of light-emitting units, which array can be divided into a signal unit as a data bit, a dynamic blinking positioning mark 2 The static positioning identifier 3 and the blank bit 4, wherein the dynamic blinking positioning mark 2 is a larger square in the middle of the optical label (as a 3×3 array composed of light emitting units), and the static positioning mark 3 is located at a corner of the light label. The three larger return boxes (also a 3 x 3 array of light-emitting units), together with the three static position markers 3, form a set of position identifiers. Each of the signal units 1 and each of the blank bits 4 may correspond to one light emitting unit.

In addition, it should be noted that although the optical tags in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A employ an array of the same light-emitting units, in some embodiments, different sizes of light-emitting units may also be used (eg, for larger The dynamic blinking positioning design designing a larger lighting unit and using a smaller lighting unit for smaller signal units). In some embodiments, one signal unit may correspond to a plurality of light emitting units, for example, one signal unit itself may be comprised of an array of light emitting units. Similarly, a blank bit may also correspond to a plurality of light emitting units. A light source may be included in the light unit, which may use various light emitting techniques, such as the use of LED lights. The number of illumination sources in each illumination unit may be one or more according to different usage requirements.

The optical tag may further include a controller, and a battery or a power source or the like, wherein the controller is for controlling a light wave frequency and a blinking manner of the light source in the light emitting unit, and the battery or the power source supplies energy to the controller and the light source. The controller can independently control each of the light emitting units, and can also perform unified control on some of the light emitting units. For example, the controller can uniformly control the light emitting unit of the dynamic blinking positioning mark 2, and the light emitting unit of the static positioning mark 3 or The part is uniformly controlled, and the lighting unit of the blank position 4 is uniformly controlled.

In the working state, the dynamic flickering location indicator 2 can flash at a certain frequency, which can be a change in the properties of the light. This attribute refers to what the optical imaging device can recognize in this application. Any of the attributes, such as the intensity of the light, the color, the wavelength, etc., can be perceived by the human eye, or other attributes that are not perceptible to the human eye, such as the intensity, color, or The wavelength changes, or any combination of the above attributes. A change in the properties of light can be a single property change, or a combination of two or more properties can change. When the intensity of the light is selected as an attribute, the light source can be simply turned on or off. In the following, for the sake of simplicity, the light source is turned on or off to change the properties of the light, but those skilled in the art will appreciate that other ways to change the properties of the light are also possible. FIG. 1B shows the optical label when the attribute of the light emitted by the dynamic blinking position indicator 2 changes.

In addition, the definition of the above attributes applies equally to the static positioning identifier 3, the blank bit 4, and the attribute of the light emitted by the signal unit 1. However, it should be noted that the dynamic blinking positioning mark 2, the static positioning mark 3, the blank bit 4, and the signal unit 1 can work with different attributes. For example, the dynamic blinking positioning mark 2 can realize the flickering effect by using different color conversions. Signal unit 1 can use different light intensities to represent different information.

When the dynamic flickering positioning mark 2 is blinking, the multi-frame image can be continuously acquired by the optical imaging device, and the dynamic flickering positioning mark 2 can be quickly and accurately recognized and the position determined by performing image difference on the acquired multi-frame image. . After the dynamic flickering location indicator 2 is identified, the exact location of the static location indicator 3 can be further identified in its vicinity.

The static positioning indicator 3 presents a fixed optical mode during operation. The static positioning marker 3 in one embodiment is presented as a return box, and pixels of different attributes in the horizontal and vertical directions at its horizontal centerline and vertical centerline (black and white black pixels in this embodiment) The ratio can be set to 1:1:1. In addition, in order to more accurately determine the boundary of the static positioning mark 3 defined by the black pixels, four blank bits composed of white pixels may be provided in the optical tag as shown in FIG. 1A, which ensure whether the horizontal or vertical direction is used. Scanning, static positioning marker 3 black and white black pixel ratio obeys 1:1:1.

After determining the positions of the dynamic blinking positioning indicator 2 and the static positioning indicator 3, the positions of the respective signal units 1 in the optical label can be determined by means of the positions of the dynamic blinking positioning indicator 2 and the static positioning indicator 3 for data identification or Read. The signal unit 1 is a small square light-emitting unit other than the dynamic blinking positioning mark 2, the static positioning mark 3, and the blank bit 4 in the optical tag, or may be a part of these light-emitting units.

In addition, when the user takes a photo tag, it may not be facing the light tag. In this case, the imaging of the optical label may have a certain degree of distortion or deformation. These distortions or distortions can be considered in the identification process of the optical tag based on the perspective principle in optical imaging.

The light emitted by each signal unit 1 may have a specific property, which, as described above, may be any property that the optical imaging device can perceive, including attributes that are not perceptible to the human eye. In one embodiment, "0" or "1" of binary digital information can be represented by controlling the turning on and off of the lighting unit corresponding to each signal unit 1, so that all signal units 1 in one frame of the optical label Can be used to represent a sequence of binary digital information. As can be appreciated by those skilled in the art, each signal unit 1 can be used not only to represent a binary number, but also to represent data in ternary or larger hexadecimal. For example, the intensity of light emitted by the light emitting unit can be set to be selectable from three or more levels, or by setting the color of light emitted by the light emitting unit to be selectable from three or more colors The selection is made such that each signal unit 1 represents ternary or larger data by using a combination of intensity and color, and other means deemed feasible by those skilled in the art.

In another embodiment, since the signal unit 1 in the optical tag can change the attribute of the light emitted by the signal unit 1 in the optical tag at a certain frequency (which may be the same as the blinking frequency of the dynamic flickering positioning mark 2), therefore, the light Tags can represent different data information at different times, for example, different sequences of binary digital information. As such, when optical tags are continuously captured using an optical imaging device (e.g., at a rate of 30 frames per second), each frame of image can be used to represent a sequence of information.

In the above embodiment, the optical label is schematically set as a 9×9 array composed of light emitting units, and the dynamic blinking positioning mark 2 therein is set as a larger square in the middle of the light label (3×3 composed of the light emitting unit) Array), and set the static positioning identifier 3 therein to three larger singular boxes of the corners of the optical label (again, a 3×3 array of light-emitting units), but those skilled in the art will understand that The shape, size, and the like of the optical tag, the size, shape, position, number, and the like of the dynamic flickering positioning mark 2 and the static positioning mark 3 are not limited to the above embodiments, but may be changed according to actual needs. For example, the optical label may not be a 9×9 array, and may not even be a square; the dynamic blinking positioning identifier 2 may not only have one, may not be located in the middle of the optical label, may not be a 3×3 array, or may not be a square; static The location identifiers 3 may not be three, may not be located at the corners of the optical tags, may not be 3×3 arrays, or may not be squares. In one embodiment, blank bits can be omitted in the optical tag.

Optical tags can be imaged using optical imaging devices or image acquisition devices that are common in the art. The optical imaging device or image acquisition device may include an image acquisition component, a processor, a memory, and the like. The optical imaging device or image acquisition device may be, for example, a smart mobile terminal having a photographing function, including a mobile phone, a tablet, smart glasses, etc., which may include an image capture device and an image processing module. The user visually finds the optical tag within a range of distance from the optical tag, and scans the optical tag by performing the information capture and interpretation process by causing the imaging sensor of the mobile terminal to face the optical tag. The video acquisition frequency of the mobile terminal can be set to be greater than or equal to twice the blinking frequency of the optical tag. By collecting the video and image information captured in the camera of the mobile phone, and passing the image frame into the memory of the mobile phone, and using the processor to perform the decoding operation, the process of identifying and decoding is finally completed. In an embodiment, in order to avoid duplication, omission, and the like of the image frame, the serial number, the check digit, the time stamp, and the like may be included in the information transmitted by the optical tag. A start frame or an end frame may be given in a plurality of image frames as needed, or both, for indicating a start or end position of a complete period of the plurality of image frames, the start frame or the end frame may be It is set to display a particular combination of data, for example: all 0s or all 1s, or any special combination that will not be the same as the information that may actually be displayed.

2 illustrates an optical tag anti-counterfeiting system in a single-user scenario, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the system includes an optical tag 23, a server 5, and a server 6. The server 5 is capable of communicating with the optical tag 23, which is the data or service provider of the optical tag 23, and is therefore also referred to hereinafter as the optical tag network server 5. Server 6 can be any trusted server, such as a server that can be a trusted authority, and is therefore also referred to hereinafter as third party agency server 6. The third party server 6 stores a network address (e.g., domain name information) of an optical tag network server (e.g., optical tag network server 5) corresponding to an optical tag (e.g., optical tag 23) registered at the server. User 21 can interact with the anti-counterfeiting system using its image capture device 22, such as a cell phone. Image acquisition device 22 typically has a communication function.

It should be particularly noted that, in some embodiments, the user 21 may already know the network address L of the optical label network server 5 or may obtain the network address L by other means, for example, the network address L is well known to the user. Or the network address L is pre-stored in an application (APP) for optical tag information collection by the image acquisition device 22. In this case, the user can access the optical tag network server 5 directly through the network address L without obtaining the network address L through the third-party organization server 6. In this case, it is no longer necessary to arrange the third-party organization server 6 in the anti-counterfeiting system shown in FIG. 2, that is, the third-party agency service Server 6 is not required.

The optical tag anti-counterfeiting flow for a single user in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 5 and is described in detail below.

When the user 21 uses his image acquisition device 22 to collect information of the optical tag 23, the user 21 may have doubts about the authenticity of the optical tag 23. For example, the user 21 may be concerned that the optical tag 23 is a fake optical tag. In this case, the user 21 can obtain identification information (e.g., ID number) from the optical tag 23 through the image capture device 22, the identification information referring to any information that can be used to identify the optical tag (step 501). The identification information may be information presented by the optical tag 23 or may be part of the information presented by the optical tag 23. The light tag 23 can present the above information by one display, or can also present the above information by multiple displays. In the case of multiple displays, the user 21 can continuously acquire the multi-frame image of the optical tag 23 through the image acquisition device 22, and obtain corresponding information based on the multi-frame image.

Based on the identification information obtained from the optical tag 23, the user 21 can query the third-party organization server 6 through the image collection device 22 for the network of the optical tag network server (in this embodiment, the optical tag network server 5) corresponding to the identification information. Address (step 502).

After receiving the query request from the user 21, the third-party server 6 can query and provide the network address L of the optical tag network server 5 to the image collection device 22 of the user 21 (step 503), for example, the url network link address .

It should be particularly noted that, in some embodiments, the user 21 may already know the network address L of the optical tag network server 5 or may be obtained by other means, for example, the network address L is familiar to the user, or the network address. L is pre-stored in an application (APP) for optical tag information collection by the image acquisition device 22. In this case, the user can access the optical tag network server 5 directly through the network address L without performing the steps described above.

The user 21 accesses the optical tag network server 5 through the network address L using the image capturing device 22, and presents a request for discriminating the optical tag 23 to the optical tag network server 5 (step 504). The user 21 can provide the identification information obtained from the optical tag 23 to the optical tag network server 5 through the image acquisition device 22, and the identification information can be included in the request.

After receiving the request for authenticating the optical tag 23, the optical tag network server 5 queries the optical tag corresponding to the identifier information to generate a verification code r (for example, in a random or pseudo-random manner), and refers to The transmission time t and the time increment Δt are determined (step 505), thereby constituting a triple (r, t, Δt). The transmission time t is the time at which the optical tag network server 5 transmits the triplet, which is also the start time of the validity period of the verification code r. The time increment Δt is used to determine the end time (t+Δt) of the validity period of the verification code r together with the transmission time t. Therefore, the time interval [t, t + Δt] can be used as the validity period of the verification code r, in which the verification code r is valid.

The optical tag network server 5 transmits the triplet (r, t, Δt) to the image acquisition device 22 and the optical tag corresponding to the identification information (step 506). Preferably, the optical tag network server 5 simultaneously transmits the triplet (r, t, Δt) to the image acquisition device 22 and the optical tag corresponding to the identification information.

It should be noted that the optical label corresponding to the identification information may be the optical label 23 (for example, the optical label 23 is a real optical label) or may not be the optical label 23 (for example, the optical label 23 is a fake optical label). , which spoofs the identification information of the real light label).

After receiving the triplet (r, t, Δt), the optical tag corresponding to the identification information presents the verification code r on the optical tag (step 507). Preferably, the optical tag corresponding to the identification information presents the verification code r immediately after receiving the triplet (r, t, Δt). In one embodiment, the optical tag can present the verification code r at any time in the time interval [t, t + Δt]. The optical tag can present the verification code r by one display, or can also present the verification code r by multiple displays. In the case of multiple displays, the user 21 may continuously collect multiple frames of the optical tag through the image capturing device 22 (which may include a serial number, a time stamp, etc., to avoid duplication, omission, etc. of the image frame), and based on the Multi-frame images to obtain corresponding verification information. When the verification code r is presented, the optical tag can construct the tag V in any one of the identification manners to identify that the verification code r is currently displayed instead of other data. The optical tag may only present the verification code r once (as described above, each presentation of the verification code r may involve multiple displays of the optical tag), or may be in a continuous manner within the time interval [t, t + Δt] or The verification code r is presented multiple times in an interval manner.

After receiving the triplet (r, t, Δt), the image acquisition device 22 stores the verification code r and performs image acquisition on the optical tag 23 in the time interval [t, t + Δt]. In each frame image of the acquired optical tag 23, one or more frames marked with a mark V are selected, and verification information r' is extracted from the one or more frames (step 508).

If the user 21 fails to obtain the verification information r' in the time interval [t, t + Δt] by the image pickup device 22 (for example, an image frame containing the mark V is not found), the optical tag 23 can be considered at this time. The triplet (r, t, Δt) is not received from the optical label network server 5 (that is, the optical label corresponding to the identification information is not the optical label 23), and therefore, it can be determined that the optical label 23 is illegal or False.

If the image collecting device 22 obtains the verification information r', it can compare the verification code r received from the optical tag network server 5 with the verification information r' obtained from the optical tag 23 (step 509), if the two match The optical tag 23 is considered to be authentic or legal (step 510), otherwise the optical tag 23 is considered to be spoofed or illegal (step 511). In one embodiment, matching the two means that they are the same. In other embodiments, the two match each other and do not require the two to be identical, as long as there is some predetermined relationship or association between the two. If it is found during the verification process that the time interval [t, t + Δt] has been exceeded, the image acquisition device 22 can prompt the user 21 for the verification timeout, and the user 21 can choose to re-initiate the identification of the optical tag 23. The image collecting device 22 can transmit the authentication result to the optical tag network server 5 or the third-party organization server 6 after authenticating the optical tag 23.

In one embodiment, the transmission time t may not be the time at which the optical tag network server 5 transmits the triplet. Instead, it may be replaced by the time t' at which the specified optical tag presents the verification code r or the verification code can be presented. The starting time t' of r. The optical tag may present the verification code r at the time t' after receiving the verification code r and the time t' or present the verification code r at any time within the time interval [t', t' + Δt].

In an embodiment, the optical label network server 5 may not specify the transmission time t and the time increment Δt, but directly specify the termination time of the validity period of the verification code r, and transmit the verification code r and the termination time to the image acquisition device. 22 and an optical label corresponding to the identification information. The optical tag corresponding to the identification information may present the verification code r immediately after receiving the verification code r and the termination time, or may present the verification code r at any time before the termination time. The image acquisition device 22 can continuously perform image acquisition on the optical tag 23 before the termination time.

In one embodiment, the optical tag network server 5 may not even specify the termination time of the validity period of the verification code r, but only the verification code r to the image acquisition device 22 and the optical tag corresponding to the identification information. In a normal communication situation, the time when the image collection device 22 and the optical tag corresponding to the identification information receive the verification code r does not differ too long, and the optical tag corresponding to the identification information may be verified after receiving the verification code r. One and multiple presentations of r, or may wait a little after receiving the verification code r (considering that the image acquisition device 22 receives the verification code r One or more presentations of the verification code r may be performed in a later time. The image capture device 22 may perform continuous image acquisition of the optical tag 23 for a period of time after receiving the verification code r.

Figure 3 illustrates an optical tag anti-counterfeiting system in a multi-user scenario, three of which are schematically illustrated in Figure 3, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3, the system includes an optical tag 37, an optical tag network server 5, and a third party server 6. The anti-counterfeiting system in FIG. 3 is the same as or similar to that in FIG. 2, but the application scenarios are different, and therefore will not be described herein. In addition, as described above, the third party server 6 is not necessary. User 31, user 33, and user 35 can interact with the anti-counterfeiting system using their respective image capture device 32, image capture device 34, and image capture device 36, respectively.

For the case where only one user authenticates the optical tag 37 at a certain time (for example, the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 request the identification of the optical tag 37 at different times), the above may be performed separately for each user at different times. The anti-counterfeiting method described for a single user.

For the case where two or more users authenticate the optical tag 37 at the same time or almost simultaneously, the flow of the active response anti-counterfeiting method according to an embodiment of the present invention is as follows (illustrated by taking three users simultaneously for identification) .

When the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 collect the information of the optical tag 37 through the image capturing device 32, the image capturing device 34, and the image capturing device 36, the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 all generate authenticity of the optical tag 37. Suspicion. In this case, the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 can obtain identification information (for example, an ID number) from the optical tag 37 through the image capturing device 32, the image capturing device 34, and the image capturing device 36, respectively, and the identification information is Any information that can be used to identify a light label.

Based on the identification information obtained from the optical label 37, the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 can query the third-party organization server 6 for the optical label corresponding to the identification information through the image collection device 32, the image collection device 34, and the image collection device 36, respectively. The network address of the network server (in this embodiment, the optical tag network server 5).

After receiving the query request from the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35, the third-party server 6 can query and provide the network address of the optical label network server 5 to the image collection device 32, the image collection device 34, and the image collection device 36, respectively. L, the network address L can be, for example, a url network link address.

User 31, user 33, and user 35 respectively use image acquisition device 32 and image acquisition device 34. The image capture device 36 accesses the optical tag network server 5 via the network address L and presents a request for the optical tag network 37 to the optical tag network server 5. The user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 can provide the identification information obtained from the optical tag 37 to the optical tag network server 5 through the image capturing device 32, the image capturing device 34, and the image capturing device 36, respectively.

After receiving the request from the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 for identifying the optical tag 23, the optical tag network server 5 queries the optical tag corresponding to the identification information to generate three corresponding verification codes r ₁ and r ₂ . r ₃ (for example in a random or pseudo-random manner) and specifying the transmission times t ₁ , t ₂ , t ₃ and the time increments Δt ₁ , Δt ₂ associated with the respective verification codes r ₁ , r ₂ , r ₃ , Δt ₃ , thereby constituting three triads (r ₁ , t ₁ , Δt ₁ ), (r ₂ , t ₂ , Δt ₂ ), (r ₃ , t ₃ , Δt ₃ ). Here, the transmission times t ₁ , t ₂ , t ₃ and the time increments Δt ₁ , Δt ₂ , Δt ₃ and the above-described transmission time t have the same meaning as the time increment Δt, and therefore will not be described again. The transmission times t ₁ , t ₂ , and t ₃ are three different transmission times, and the time increments Δt ₁ , Δt ₂ , and Δt ₃ may be the same or different, but three time intervals [t ₁ , t _{1 are required.} +Δt ₁ ], [t ₂ , t ₂ + Δt ₂ ], [t ₃ , t ₃ + Δt ₃ ] do not overlap each other.

The optical label network server 5 sends the triplet (r ₁ , t ₁ , Δt ₁ ) to the image acquisition device 32, and transmits the triplet (r ₂ , t ₂ , Δt ₂ ) to the image acquisition device 34, and the ternary The group (r ₃ , t ₃ , Δt ₃ ) is sent to the image acquisition device 36. In addition, the optical tag network server 5 transmits three triplets (r ₁ , t ₁ , Δt ₁ ), (r ₂ , t ₂ , Δt ₂ ), (r ₃ , t ₃ , Δt ₃ ) to the device. The optical label corresponding to the identification information.

The optical tag corresponding to the identification information after receiving three triplets (r ₁ , t ₁ , Δt ₁ ), (r ₂ , t ₂ , Δt ₂ ), (r ₃ , t ₃ , Δt ₃ ) , in which the verification codes r ₁ , r ₂ , r _{3 are} in the time interval [t ₁ , t ₁ + Δt ₁ ], [t ₂ , t ₂ + Δt ₂ ], [t ₃ , t ₃ + Δt ₃ ] Presented separately.

After receiving the respective triplets, the image acquisition device 32, the image acquisition device 34, and the image acquisition device 36 store the corresponding verification codes, and can respectively be in the time interval [t ₁ , t ₁ +Δt ₁ ], [t ₂ Image acquisition of the optical tag 37 is performed within t ₂ + Δt ₂ ], [t ₃ , t ₃ + Δt ₃ ]. The image capturing device 32, the image capturing device 34, and the image capturing device 36 select one or more frames labeled with the mark V in each frame image of the collected optical tag 37, and extract from the one or more frames respectively. Verification information r ₁ ', r ₂ ', r ₃ '. It should be noted that each image capturing device may also perform image capturing on the optical tag 37 during a time period other than its corresponding time interval to obtain other information that the optical tag 37 presents during the time period. If the image capture device has acquired the image frame of the optical tag 37 containing the mark V during the time period (the image frame containing the mark V is for other image capture devices), it may simply be discarded.

If any of the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 fails to pass the image capture device If the verification information is obtained in the corresponding time interval (for example, the image frame containing the mark V is not found), then the user can think that the optical tag 37 has not received the triplet from the optical tag network server 5 (ie, The optical label corresponding to the identification information is not the optical label 37). Therefore, it can be determined that the optical label 37 is illegal or fake.

If any of the user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 obtains the authentication information in the corresponding time interval by the image capturing device, the verification code received from the optical tag network server 5 and the obtained from the optical tag 37 can be compared. Verification information (ie, image acquisition device 32 compares r ₁ and r ₁ ', image acquisition device 34 compares r ₂ and r ₂ ', image acquisition device 36 compares r ₃ and r ₃ '), and considers light if the two match The tag 37 is legal, otherwise the optical tag 37 is considered illegal or counterfeit. The user 31, the user 33, and the user 35 respectively perform their authentication operations, and under normal circumstances, they will obtain a consistent authentication result. If it is found during the verification process that the time interval has been exceeded, the image collection device may prompt the user for the verification timeout, and the user may choose to re-initiate the identification of the optical label. Each image collecting device may transmit the authentication result to the optical tag network server 5 or the third-party organization server 6 after authenticating the optical tag 37.

In one embodiment, the transmission times t ₁ , t ₂ , t ₃ may not be the time at which the optical tag network server 5 transmits the respective triplets, instead, it may be replaced by specifying the optical tags corresponding to the identification information in it. The time at which the verification code is presented or the starting time at which the verification code can be presented.

In one embodiment, the optical tag network server 5 may not specify the transmission times t ₁ , t ₂ , t ₃ and the time increments Δt ₁ , Δt ₂ , Δt ₃ , but directly specify the termination time of the validity period of each verification code ( These termination times are different). In this case, in order to avoid overlapping of the three time intervals, the optical label network server 5 may first transmit the earliest termination time and the corresponding verification code to the optical label corresponding to the identification information and the corresponding image collection device. And after the earliest termination time arrives, the second early termination time and the corresponding verification code are sent to the optical tag corresponding to the identification information and the corresponding another image collection device, and so on. The optical tag corresponding to the identification information may present the verification code immediately after receiving any verification code and its termination time, and may also present the verification code at any time before the termination time. Each image acquisition device can continuously perform image acquisition on the optical tag 37 before the termination time it receives.

The above-mentioned active response anti-counterfeiting process for two or more users at the same time can defend against replay attacks by malicious users. A replay attack according to one embodiment is shown in FIG. 4, wherein the first legitimate user 41 holds the image capture device 42, and the malicious user 45 holds the image capture device 46, The second legitimate user 47 holds the image capture device 48. The malicious user 45 initiates an active response anti-counterfeiting process to the legal optical tag 43 by using the image collecting device 46, and forwards the received verification code to the illegal optical tag 44 for playback, in an attempt to spoof the second legitimate user 47. Since each user receives a different verification code in the active response anti-counterfeiting process, and forwards, replays, etc. the received verification code, the validity period of the verification code is exceeded, so the malicious user 45 cannot spoof the second legitimate user. 47.

An example of the use of the present invention in practical applications is as follows.

Example 1

The mall M publishes the information of the merchandise through the optical label L. The customer G wants to purchase the product through the optical label L, but has doubts about the authenticity of the optical label L. The customer G finds the web address Http://www.abc.com of the optical label web server 5 corresponding to the optical label L via the trusted server 6 via the mobile phone H. The customer G performs image collection on the optical tag L by the mobile phone H and extracts ID information therefrom, and transmits an authentication request for the ID information to the optical tag network server 5 of the above-mentioned website. After receiving the authentication request, the optical label network server 5 generates a triplet (562587, t, 3) and sends it to the optical label L and the mobile phone H at the same time, wherein 562587 is a verification code, t is a transmission time, and 3 represents three. second. After receiving the triplet, the optical tag L issues an optical signal including the verification code 562587 within 3 seconds from the transmission time t. After receiving the triplet, the customer G stores the verification code 562587 and receives the optical signal of the optical tag L, and then parses it, and compares the obtained verification information with the stored verification code 562587. If it is found that the two do not match, it is determined that the optical label L is a pseudo-emerging label.

Example 2

The mall M publishes the information of the merchandise through the optical label L. Customer A, Customer B, and Customer C want to purchase the product through the optical label L, but Customer A, Customer B, and Customer C have doubts about the authenticity of the optical label L, and they each via the mobile phone P _{Customer A} , P _{Customer B} , P _{Customer C} finds the URL Http://www.abc.com of the optical label web server 5 corresponding to the optical label L through the trusted server 6. Customer A, customer B, and customer C perform image collection on the optical tag L through P _{customer A} , P _{customer B} , and P _{customer C} , respectively, and extract ID information therefrom, and transmit the ID information to the optical tag network server 5 of the above-mentioned website. Authentication request. The optical label network server 5 generates three triples after receiving three authentication requests:

(562587, 14:20:35.345, 0.3),

(462782, 14:20:36.345, 0.3),

(882584, 14:20:37.345, 0.3),

And send it to the optical label L and P _{customer A} , P _{customer B} , and P _{customer C at the same time} . After receiving the above triplet, the optical label L is in three time intervals 14:20:35.345 to 14:20:35.645, 14:20:36.345 to 14:20:36.645, 14:20:37.345 to 14:20. :37.645, which successively emits optical signals including verification codes 562587, 462782, and 882584. P _{customer A} , P _{customer B} , and P _{customer C} respectively store the verification code after receiving the respective triplet, and receive the optical signal of the optical tag L in the corresponding time interval, and then parse the obtained verification information. Compare with the stored verification code. If it is found that the two do not match, it is determined that the optical label L is a pseudo-emerging label.

Figure 6 illustrates an optical tag anti-counterfeiting process in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the flow shown in FIG. 5, the verification operation is performed by the optical label network server 5 in the flow shown in FIG. 6, and the image collection device 22 is only used to forward the verification information, and the verification operation is no longer performed.

The

steps

601, 602, 603, 604, and 605 in FIG. 6 are similar to the

steps

501, 502, 503, 504, and 505 in FIG. 5, and details are not described herein again.

Thereafter, the optical tag network server 5 transmits the triplet (r, t, Δt) to the optical tag corresponding to the identification information (step 606). The optical label network server 5 no longer transmits the triplet (r, t, Δt) to the image acquisition device 22, or alternatively, the optical label network server 5 may only send (t, Δt) to the image acquisition device 22. r is the verification code. t is the transmission time, which is the time at which the optical tag network server 5 transmits the triplet, and is also the starting time of the validity period of the verification code r. Δt is a time increment for determining the end time (t + Δt) of the validity period of the verification code r together with the transmission time t. Therefore, the time interval [t, t + Δt] can be used as the validity period of the verification code r, in which the verification code r is valid.

After receiving the triplet (r, t, Δt), the optical tag corresponding to the identification information presents the verification code r thereon (step 607). Preferably, the optical tag corresponding to the identification information presents the verification code r immediately after receiving the triplet (r, t, Δt). In one embodiment, the optical tag corresponding to the identification information may present the verification code r at any time in the time interval [t, t + Δt]. The optical tag corresponding to the identification information may present the verification code r by one display, or may also present the verification code r by multiple display. In the case of multiple displays, the user 21 may continuously collect multiple frames of the optical tag 23 through the image capturing device 22 (which may include a serial number, a time stamp, etc., to avoid duplication, omission, etc. of the image frame), and based on The multi-frame image is used to obtain corresponding verification information. When the verification code r is presented, the optical label corresponding to the identification information may be constructed with the marking V in any one of the identification manners to identify that the verification code r is currently displayed instead of other data. The optical tag corresponding to the identification information may only present the verification code r once (as described above, each presentation of the verification code r may involve multiple displays of the optical tag corresponding to the identification information), or may be in the time interval [t, The verification code r is presented multiple times in a continuous manner or in an interval within t+Δt].

After the user 21 makes a request to the optical tag network server 5 to authenticate the optical tag 23 (step 604), the optical tag 23 may continue to be image acquired by the image capture device 22 (e.g., at least continuously for a particular period of time). Alternatively, in the case where the optical label network server 5 transmits (t, Δt) to the image pickup device 22, the image pickup device 22, after receiving (t, Δt), is within the time interval [t, t + Δt] The optical tag 23 performs image acquisition. In each frame image of the acquired optical tag 23, one or more frames marked with a tag V are selected, and verification information r' is extracted from the one or more frames (step 608).

The optical tag network server 5 receives the authentication information r' from the user's image capturing device 22 (step 609). If the optical tag network server 5 fails to receive the verification information r' from the image acquisition device 22, for example, the image acquisition device 22 informs that the verification information r' has not been obtained from the optical tag 23 within the time interval [t, t + Δt] (eg If the image frame containing the mark V is not found, the optical tag network server 5 can think that the optical tag 23 does not receive the triplet (r, t, Δt) from the optical tag network server 5, and therefore, the optical tag can be judged. 23 is illegal or fake.

The optical label network server 5 can compare the verification information r' with the verification code r (step 610), and if the two match, the optical label 23 is considered to be authentic or legal (step 611), otherwise the optical label 23 is considered to be fake. Or illegal (step 612). In one embodiment, matching the two means that they are the same. In other embodiments, the two match each other and do not require the two to be identical, as long as there is some predetermined relationship or association between the two. The optical label network server 5 can transmit the authentication result to the user after authenticating the optical tag 23.

In one embodiment, the transmission time t may not be the time at which the optical tag network server 5 transmits the triplet. Instead, it may be replaced by the time t' at which the optical tag corresponding to the identification information is presented with the verification code r. Or can present the starting time t' of the verification code r. The optical tag may present the verification code r at the time t' after receiving the verification code r and the time t' or present the verification code r at any time within the time interval [t', t' + Δt].

In one embodiment, the optical label network server 5 may not specify the transmission time t and time. The increment Δt, but directly specifies the end time of the validity period of the verification code r, and transmits the verification code r and the termination time to the optical tag corresponding to the identification information. The optical tag corresponding to the identification information may present the verification code r immediately after receiving the verification code r and the termination time, or may present the verification code r at any time before the termination time. The termination time can also be sent to the image acquisition device 22 so that the image acquisition device 22 can continuously perform image acquisition on the optical tag 23 prior to the termination time.

In one embodiment, the optical tag network server 5 may not even specify the end time of the validity period of the verification code r, but only the verification code r to the optical tag corresponding to the identification information. The optical tag corresponding to the identification information may perform one and multiple presentations of the verification code r after receiving the verification code r. The image capture device 22 may perform continuous image acquisition of the optical tag 23 for at least a predetermined period of time after the request to the optical tag network server 5 to authenticate the optical tag 23 (step 604).

In one embodiment, after the optical label network server 5 performs one verification of the optical label 23, if the optical label network server 5 receives another request for authenticating the optical label 23 within a predetermined period of time, then The optical label network server 5 can directly adopt the result of the previous verification (that is, it is not necessary to repeatedly verify the same optical label in a short time), and can directly send the corresponding verification result to the user who made the authentication request. The predetermined time period can be set differently according to actual conditions, security requirements, and the like.

The anti-counterfeiting method of the present invention can be applied not only to the optical tag shown in FIG. 1A, but also to other optical tags (or light sources) that can be used to transmit information, as long as the information transmitted by the optical tag can be changed over time. . For example, the anti-counterfeiting method of the present invention can be applied to a light source that transmits information through different stripes based on a rolling shutter effect of CMOS (for example, the device described in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN104168060A). In addition, the anti-counterfeiting method of the present invention can also be applied to an array of optical tags (or light sources) as long as the information transmitted by the array can be changed over time.

In addition, the verification code displayed by the optical label in the anti-counterfeiting method of the present invention may be completely presented in one display of the optical label (that is, may be included in one frame image of the optical label collected by the image acquisition device), or It appears in multiple displays of optical tags. For example, for some types of optical tags or arrays thereof, the amount of information that is passed in each display may not be sufficient to cover the entire verification code, in which case the verification code may be presented in multiple displays (also That is, through The light label is displayed multiple times in succession to pass the verification code). The user can continuously collect the multi-frame image of the optical tag through the image capturing device, and obtain corresponding verification information based on the multi-frame image. In order to identify that the currently displayed verification code is not other data, the corresponding identification bit may be included in the multi-frame image, or some frames may be selected as the identification frame.
