Mobile field article identifying system and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a system which is used for identifying articles at a point of sells before consumers purchase the articles and is high in safety level, low in cost, movable and easy to obtain and use and a method. The system and the method are based on capture on physical and logic characteristics including safety marks of at least two safety tracers exerted onto the articles and local or remote processing, and at least one tracer comprises an invisible energy response material. The identifying operation can be specifically executed through any system of registered consumers and by using mobile communication devices provided with image capture assemblies and being combined with other specific functions of system software in an off-line mode, and the system software includes article identifying information, other databases, marking data, identifying and processing software and safety software. Identifying results, system software update and other information including notifications are automatically switched between the devices and a server by using an exclusively used security protocol and any wireless connection within a certain range.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to item identification, in particular to a system and method for item identification. Background technique [0002] Counterfeiting, piracy, and the illegal distribution and sale of items can take many different forms, including, but not limited to, illegal manufacture of entire items, parts of items, or components of items, and item packaging for sale of recalled and / or expired items, Repackaging and redistribution, as well as manufacture of items outside of mandatory safety and quality standards, sale of tampered and redistributed items in unauthorized jurisdictions and environments. [0003] Issues directly and indirectly caused by these actions against state-owned (all levels of government including national, provincial, municipal) and private (brand owners and their supply chains) include, among other things, loss of tax revenue, market share, loss of tangible and intangible corporate value and reputation associated w...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the illustrated method, additional specialized hardware is attached to the camera to enable complex object or article constituent elemental analysis, identification or identification applications, including hazardous material detection and identification, blood oxygen level measurement, human skin analysis and environmental monitoring , these are too complex and impractical to be implemented as a solution to satisfy consumers' needs for low-cost, mass-market, ease-of-use in field identification

The described methods have unacceptable integrity and impediments to implementation, security and economic burden for a mass market scalable non-destructive method and system of consumer item authentication, which leaves consumers with Unresolved issues with item identification
