Description

The present invention relates to a code system for determining the authenticity of a product.

Some products, such as imports, may include counterfeit products. However, it is often indistinguishable at first glance whether it is a fake or not.

For example, in the case of wine, if a user imitates a bottle design including a package of wine bottles, ordinary consumers drink fake wine without considering it at the time of drinking, thinking that it is real wine. And it is not difficult to imitate the bottle design, including the packaging of wine bottles, using modern printing techniques.

In view of such problems, a technique for judging the authenticity of a product has been desired.

Patent Document 1 exists as a relevant document here.

JP 2015-22314

Patent Document 1 is an authenticity determination system including a plurality of information terminals and a server, wherein the information terminal reads a digital watermark code marked on an object, and transmits the read code information to a server. The server receives and stores the code information transmitted from each of the plurality of information terminals, and analyzes the code information. As a result of the analysis, the code is a code that cannot be the original shipping route or is larger than the shipping amount. The log management server creates an alert list for codes that are detected in an abnormally large number, and the log management server distributes the alert list to the information terminal.

However, a warning about a code that is detected in an abnormally large number alone cannot determine which product is a fake, and requires other functions or subsequent processing.

For this reason, in Patent Literature 1, it is not possible to easily and quickly determine the authenticity of one product.

An object of the present invention is to provide a code system capable of easily and quickly determining the authenticity of one product by breaking the conventional practice, and a product set using the code system.

The first code and the second code are not readable, but one readable code (bar code) is completed by combining the first code and the second code. By reading this one readable code with a reader such as a bar code reader, information on wine can be read. In this case, the information on wine includes “Wine Chateau Marcco”, “Shipper France Wine Association”, “Shipment date 2020.6.15”, and “Genuine product”. Even if the information is not read, the authenticity can be determined by comparing the information to be read with the information described on the cover sheet. And in the case of counterfeiting to replace the product. Unless the partial barcode attached to the product is copied, there is only the partial barcode of the number of genuine products, so if diverted, authentication of the genuine product cannot be performed. Further, even if the barcode is copied, the barcode sent via a route different from that of the product cannot be accessed. Therefore, the barcode cannot be copied, and a barcode capable of reading complete information cannot be provided. It should be noted that it is desirable that the partial barcode sent by a different route from the product should not be able to know the partial barcode of the product, so that it is sent by a different route from the product. Partial barcodes can also be prevented from being stolen.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The mutual relationship between the embodiment and the claims is as follows. Mainly, the description of the first embodiment relates to claims 1 to 4, the description of the second embodiment relates to claims 5 and 6, the description of the third embodiment relates to claims 7 and 8, and the description of the fourth embodiment corresponds to claim 9. And 10. The present invention should not be limited to these examples in any way, and can be carried out in various modes without departing from the gist thereof.

In the present embodiment, the first code sheet and the second code sheet are used, and complete information cannot be taken out alone, but complete information can be taken out by combining them by aligning them. Provide a code system.

Hereinafter, a basic configuration and a manufacturing method of the code system according to the present embodiment will be sequentially described.

<Basic configuration>
The “first code sheet” in the present embodiment is a sheet on which a first partial code that cannot be completely extracted by itself is printed. Next, the `` second code sheet '' means that complete information extraction is impossible by itself, and complete information can be extracted by combining with the first code by aligning with the first partial code sheet. Is a sheet on which a second partial code is printed.

“Complete information” here includes, for example, product name, manufacturer, purchaser, date of manufacture, date of shipment (date of export), date of certification, expiration date, year and season of manufacture, unique manufacture Information such as a number. It is important that these complete information cannot be confirmed by the first code sheet and the second code sheet alone even if they are part of the item. Further, the information to be encoded may be encrypted information.

The code here may be a barcode or a two-dimensional code, and is not limited thereto. However, since the complete information is read in combination with the first code sheet, both are assumed to be the same type of code.

FIG. 2 shows a code system according to the present invention when the code is a two-dimensional code. The upper diagram assumes that the sheet on which the two-dimensional code is printed is cut into two, and there is a first code sheet (A) and a second code sheet (B). The figure below assumes that the sheet on which the two-dimensional code is printed is cut into three, and the first code sheet (A), the second code sheet 1 (B1), and the second code sheet 2 ( B2) is present.

Next, the alignment method is, for example, (1) at least one of the base member of the first code sheet or the base member of the second code sheet is a transparent member, and The code sheet may be configured such that an alignment mark for overlapping the two is placed on the code sheet, and (2) the base member of the first code sheet and / or the second code At least any part of the base member of the sheet has a concave portion that is missing in a concave shape, and the second code sheet and / or the first code sheet has a fitting portion that fits into the missing portion. The first code and the second code of the first code sheet and the second code sheet may be combined by fitting the fitting portion to the first code sheet.

FIG. 3 shows that the base member of the first code sheet is a transparent member, the base member of the second code sheet is an opaque member, and the first code sheet and the second code sheet are overlapped and joined. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a barcode system in a case where alignment marks are arranged. There is a transparent first code sheet (A) and an opaque second code sheet (B), and a bar code that allows complete information to be extracted is completed by overlapping and combining them with alignment marks. I do.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a variation of the alignment mark. There are three types of alignment marks: (1) cross, (2) square, and (3) round. In the case of a round shape, the angle when two sheets are aligned cannot be determined by only one alignment mark, so that it is desirable that two or more alignment marks exist. On the other hand, the first code sheet and the second code sheet can be accurately aligned with one alignment mark other than the round alignment mark.

In addition, the alignment mark is not limited to the method of fitting, but if the method of positioning is performed by fitting without a gap, the purpose of positioning can be reliably achieved. It is desirable to use

FIG. 5 shows that at least a part of the base member of the first code sheet and / or the base member of the second code sheet has a cut-out portion that is cut off in a concave shape, and the second code sheet is formed in the cut-off portion. It is a figure showing an example of a barcode system in case it has a fitting part to fit. (1) The first code sheet has a triangular missing portion, and the second code sheet has a fitting portion that fits into the missing portion. (2) The first code sheet has a square-shaped missing portion, and the second code sheet has a fitting portion that fits into the missing portion. Further, the fitting portion for fitting to the missing portion does not need to be formed by matching the shape of the unevenness, and may be a fitting portion for filling both the missing portions of the first code sheet and the second code sheet. . For example, (3) the first coat sheet and the second code sheet have a triangular cutout, and the cutout is filled with the deepest cutout of both cutouts. May be.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a flowchart for outputting code information from the first code sheet and the second code sheet. First code sheet obtaining step (S0601), second code sheet obtaining step (S0602), first and second code sheet positioning step (S0603), confirmation of alignment (S0604), alignment state It comprises a code reading step (S0605), a code information output step (S0606), and a confirmation as to whether or not to end (S0607). Here, the order of the first code obtaining step and the second code obtaining step may be reversed.

A first code sheet is obtained in a first code sheet obtaining step, and a second code sheet is obtained in a second code sheet obtaining step. Then, in the first and second code sheet alignment steps, the first code sheet and the second code sheet are aligned, and it is confirmed whether the alignment is completed. The first and second code sheet positioning steps are repeated until the positioning can be performed. When the alignment is completed, the code is read in the code reading step in the alignment state, and the code information is output in the code information output step. Then, it is confirmed whether all the processes are completed, and if it is good, the process is completed, and if the process is to be started again from the beginning, the process is repeated from the first code sheet obtaining step.

<Production method>
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a method of manufacturing the first code sheet and the second code sheet in the barcode system of the present invention. Information such as "Wine Chateau Marroku", "Shipper France Wine Association", and "Date of Shipment 2020.6.15" is input to the barcode creation device, output to a barcode label printer, and output from the printer. The bar code is cut, and the first code sheet and the second code sheet are manufactured by cutting at the cut. One is tied to a product such as wine, for example, and the other is tied to a slip or cover sheet.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the barcode creation device. The barcode creation device includes a code information input unit (0801), a first partial code generation unit (0802), a second partial code generation unit (0803), a print information generation unit (0804), and a print information output unit (0805). . A code information input unit accepts input of code information, generates a first partial code in a first partial code generation unit, and generates a second partial code in a second partial code generation unit based on the code information. Then, the print information generation unit generates print information from both information of the first partial code and the second partial code, and the print information output unit outputs the print information. The output of the print information may be output to a barcode label printer outside the barcode creation device, or may mean printing if the barcode creation device also has a printer function. Is also good.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of a method of manufacturing the first code sheet and the second code sheet. A code information input step (S0901), a first partial code generation step (S0902), a second partial code generation step (S0903), a print information generation step (S0904), a step of confirming whether to print (S0905), and a printing step (S0906). And a code separation step (S0907) and a confirmation step (S0908) of whether or not to end. Receiving input of code information in a code information input step, generating a first partial code in a first partial code generation step, and generating a second partial code in a second partial code generation step based on the code information; . Then, in the print information generating step, print information is generated from information of both the first partial code and the second partial code, and it is confirmed whether or not to print. As a result, if printing is not to be performed, the print information generating step is repeated. However, if printing is to be performed, printing is performed according to the print information in the printing step. The printing here is printing on a sheet provided with a separation mark for separation.In a code separation step, the sheet is separated along the separation mark, so that the first code sheet and the second code sheet are separated. Divided into two sheets. Then, it is confirmed whether or not to end the production of the first code sheet and the second code sheet. If not, the process is repeated from the first step, and if it is to be ended, the entire process is ended. is there.

As described above, it is possible to provide a code system that can easily and quickly determine the authenticity of one product.

The present embodiment is a product or a product package that is placed on an opening check seal that indicates that the first code or the second code has been opened when the first code or the second code is opened, and that is sealed with the opening check seal.

The unsealing check seal is a seal configured to indicate that the bag has been opened once, for example, the color has been changed by opening the box, or the sheet cannot be reattached.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a code affixed on the opening check seal. A code is attached to (1) a lid portion of a wine bottle as a product, or (2) a boundary portion between a base and a lid of a wooden box as a product package. Here, it is assumed that an unsealing check seal is attached below the code sheet.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which the code sheet is peeled off when the code sheet is affixed to the lid of a wine bottle as a product (1) in FIG. When the code sheet is peeled off, there is an open check seal underneath.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the code sheet is peeled off in the case where the code sheet is affixed to the opened part of the product package in FIG. When the code sheet is peeled off, there is an open check seal underneath.

As described above, for example, a fake when the contents are exchanged after opening can be specified.

This embodiment is based on Embodiment 2, and the opening check seal is capable of completely reading information even if the first code or the second code is combined with the other second code or the first code by opening. It is a product or a product packaging that is configured so as not to be damaged.

FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a code sheet when the code sheet stuck on the opening check seal of the present embodiment is peeled off. (1) It functions as the first code sheet or the second code sheet when the code sheet is pasted on the opening check seal, but (2) when the code sheet is peeled off, a part is dropped off. (3) Only the code sheet with a hole that does not function as the first code sheet or the second code sheet remains. As a result, even when combined with the other second code or first code, complete reading of information is not possible.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that complete information is read out by combining the second code or the first code without peeling off the opening check seal.

With these, for example, a fake when the contents are exchanged after opening can be further specified.

This embodiment includes a slip including all or a part of the complete information of the code system described in the first embodiment, and a first code sheet or a second code sheet for reading out the complete information. It is a product set.

When a slip including a part of the complete information is included, a method of enclosing the other part of the complete information in the other second code sheet or the first code sheet can be considered. It is also conceivable to transmit complete information to a terminal of a purchaser of a product via the Internet.

FIG. 14 is an example of a product set according to the present embodiment. In the wooden box, a letter of sale, which is a voucher in which wine, a product, a first code sheet, and a part of complete information are described, is enclosed. Then, the second code sheet is placed in an envelope or the like and delivered by another route.

The “complete information” is preferably information that changes with time. The information that changes over time is information such as a shipping date, a manufacturing date, a shelf life, a certification date, an export date, a manufacturing year and a season, a manufacturing year and a quarter.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of information that changes over time. Shipping date "June 15, 2020", manufacturing date "May 10, 2020", expiration date "June 15, 2020", certification date "March 1, 2020", export year There are information such as the date “June 16, 2020”, the production year and the season “Spring 2020”, the production year and the “Quater 2020 IQ”.

In the case of such information that changes over time, forgery is more difficult because one brand is different for each product.
