Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of anti-counterfeiting technology, and in particular to an anti-counterfeiting label, a commodity or commodity packaging with the anti-counterfeiting label, and an anti-counterfeiting verification system. Background Art

[0002] Driven by profit, various counterfeit and shoddy products emerge in an endless stream. In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, as well as the brand awareness of the company, so that consumers can buy authentic goods, enterprises have proposed various anti-counterfeiting measures, such as anti-counterfeiting labels. At present, the most widely used anti-counterfeiting labels are RFID labels, because RFID labels can record the traceability and circulation information of goods, so as to better identify the authenticity of goods. However, there is still a problem with RFID labels, that is, they are easy to reuse and copy. Counterfeiters can remove the RFID labels on the genuine products and reuse them on the counterfeit products or copy the label information, resulting in anti-counterfeiting failure. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to improve the shortcomings of the prior art that RFID tags are easily reused and copied, and to provide an anti-counterfeiting label, a commodity or commodity packaging with the anti-counterfeiting label, and an anti-counterfeiting verification system.

[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to prevent RFID tags from being reused and copied. To this end, the embodiment of the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] An anti-counterfeiting label comprises an RFID chip and a destructible part, wherein the destructible part comprises a pairing unit, wherein the pairing unit is associated with and paired with the RFID chip, and the pairing unit is used to be destroyed after one use, and the anti-counterfeiting label cannot be used any more after being destroyed.

[0006] When the above anti-counterfeiting label is applied, the anti-counterfeiting label is pasted or embedded in the seal of the commodity or commodity packaging. The authenticity can be verified before opening the commodity. The commodity can be opened after verification of authenticity. When the commodity is opened, the pairing unit in the perishable part is destroyed, resulting in the pairing unit being non-reusable or non-copyable. Since the RFID chip and the pairing unit are paired in an associated manner, the RFID chip cannot be reused alone without the pairing unit, effectively preventing counterfeiting by copying the genuine label. The anti-counterfeiting label is pasted or embedded in the commodity or commodity packaging. When the anti-counterfeiting label is torn, the perishable part will be damaged, thereby preventing the anti-counterfeiting label of the genuine product from being directly removed and used for counterfeiting, that is, preventing the anti-counterfeiting label from being transferred.

[0007] In a possible implementation scheme, the RFID chip and the pairing unit are associated and paired in a first manner and / or a second manner; the first manner is to have the same or corresponding information, and the second manner is to be circuit connected. The first manner is an information pairing manner, and the second manner is a physical pairing manner. Both manners can effectively and reliably achieve associated pairing, ensuring that the anti-counterfeiting label cannot be used or copied after the fragile part is damaged.

[0008] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to increase the visual effect. To this end, the embodiment of the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0009] The pairing unit is an OLED screen. The OLED screen is connected to the RFID chip circuit. The OLED screen and the RFID chip have the same or corresponding information.

[0010] The materials used to make OLED screens are fragile and will be damaged if bent, so reuse can be effectively prevented. OLED screens have their own luminous function, which can not only display information, but also have a sense of light and good visual effects. The information displayed can be information used for anti-counterfeiting verification or promotional information. It has both anti-counterfeiting effects and beautification and publicity effects.

[0011] In a further optimized solution, the fragile part further includes an antenna coil, which is made of fragile material. The antenna coil is easily damaged after being folded, which physically makes the anti-counterfeiting label unable to be reused.

[0012] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a commodity with an anti-counterfeiting label, comprising a commodity body and an anti-counterfeiting label arranged on the commodity body, wherein the anti-counterfeiting label is the anti-counterfeiting label described in any embodiment. The anti-counterfeiting label is arranged on the commodity body by pasting or embedding.

[0013] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a commodity packaging with an anti-counterfeiting label, comprising a packaging body and an anti-counterfeiting label arranged on the packaging body, wherein the anti-counterfeiting label is the anti-counterfeiting label described in any embodiment. The anti-counterfeiting label is arranged on the packaging body by pasting or embedding.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an anti-counterfeiting verification system, comprising a device with an NFC function module, the anti-counterfeiting label described in any embodiment, and a server; the device with the NFC function module is used to provide power for the anti-counterfeiting label, and read the information stored in the RFID chip, and send it to the server, the server is used to match and verify the information sent by the device with the NFC function module with the information stored in a database, and send the verification result information to the device with the NFC function module.

[0015] When the pairing unit uses an OLED screen, the OLED screen is used to display pre-marked information. The marked information can be information associated with the RFID chip or promotional information, which has both anti-counterfeiting effects and beautification and publicity effects.

[0016] On the other hand, the present invention also provides an anti-counterfeiting verification method, comprising the following steps:

[0017] The device with the NFC function module reads the anti-counterfeiting verification information in the RFID chip and sends the anti-counterfeiting verification information to the server;

[0018] The server matches the anti-counterfeiting verification information with the information in the database, and sends the verification result information to the device with the NFC function module; or, the server retrieves the corresponding information from the database according to the anti-counterfeiting verification information, and sends the retrieved information to the device with the NFC function module;

[0019] The OLED screen displays pre-marked information, which includes commodity-related information and / or first pairing information associated with the RFID chip.

[0020] The verification result information also includes second pairing information associated with the OLED screen, and authenticity verification is performed by comparing whether the first pairing information and the second pairing information match.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the anti-counterfeiting label of the present invention is based on the traditional RFID label, and a pairing unit is added to the fragile part, so that when the fragile part is damaged, the entire label is destroyed and the anti-counterfeiting label cannot be used any more. Therefore, the problem that the traditional RFID label is easily reused or copied for counterfeit products can be effectively solved, and the anti-counterfeiting effect is improved. In particular, the solution combining RFID with OLED has more prominent advantages, as follows:

[0022] 1) The OLED screen is damaged when it is bent and cannot be repaired, which effectively prevents the anti-counterfeiting label from being reused or copied;

[0023] 2) The OLED screen is connected to part of the RFID antenna circuit. After the OLED screen is damaged, it cannot display the associated information in the RFID chip;

[0024] 3) OLED screen has display function, which can display information and enhance visual effects;

[0025] 4) The OLED screen can display information associated with the RFID tag. If the information of the two does not match or there is information misalignment, it means that the RFID tag has been reused or copied. The dual association matching method further enhances the anti-counterfeiting effect.

[0026] 5) The OLED screen is connected to the RFID antenna circuit, so that both the OLED screen and the RFID chip can be powered passively, thereby avoiding the need to set up a power supply module, simplifying the circuit structure and reducing the tag size;

[0027] 6) The antenna coil substrate is made of fragile material and cannot be transferred and used again after pasting. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] See also Figure 1In this embodiment, an anti-counterfeiting label is provided, including an RFID chip and a destructible part, wherein the destructible part includes a pairing unit, the RFID chip is paired with the pairing unit in an associated manner, and the structure of the pairing unit is limited to be destroyed after being used once. The associated pairing means that the anti-counterfeiting label cannot be used any more after the pairing unit is destroyed, that is, the structure of the pairing unit is limited to be destroyed after being used once, and the anti-counterfeiting label cannot be used any more after being destroyed.

[0036] The meaning of being unable to continue to use is: in terms of physical properties, the anti-counterfeiting label consists of two parts: a fragile part and an RFID chip. When the fragile part is damaged, only the RFID chip is left, and the RFID chip cannot be used alone as an anti-counterfeiting label; in terms of associated properties, when the pairing unit is damaged, the associated pairing performance of the RFID chip and the pairing unit disappears immediately, and the pairing unit cannot be reused after being damaged. Therefore, it is not possible to forge an anti-counterfeiting label by reusing or copying the RFID chip and the pairing unit to recombine them into a anti-counterfeiting label.

[0037] RFID readers can write dynamic information to RFID chips during production, logistics, sales, etc. The dynamic information includes but is not limited to commodity circulation information, the time and / or location and / or number of times the RFID chip is accessed. Fixed information can also be pre-written into the RFID chip, including but not limited to the ID number of the RFID chip, commodity information, etc. When a device with an NFC function module, such as a mobile phone with an NFC function module, is close to the RFID chip, the information stored in the RFID chip can be read.

[0038] The above-mentioned fragile part may also include an antenna coil. The antenna coil may be made of fragile materials and will be destroyed once torn, thereby realizing the fragile property and preventing it from being copied and used.

[0039] The fragile part is destroyed after one use, and the fragile part can be made of fragile materials, such as glass plates, adhesive papers, etc.

[0040] There are multiple ways to realize the associative pairing of the RFID chip and the pairing unit, each of which can be used alone, or multiple implementations can be used simultaneously. In this embodiment, two of the implementations are provided as examples. The first implementation is to realize that the RFID chip and the pairing unit have the same or corresponding information, and the second implementation is that the circuit of the RFID chip is connected to the pairing unit, that is, the pairing unit contains a circuit structure, and the circuit structure is connected to the circuit of the RFID chip. When the circuit structure of the pairing unit is disconnected due to the overall damage of the fragile part, the information recorded in the RFID chip cannot be displayed.

[0041] For the first implementation, the pairing unit can be a combination structure in which display and communication are integrated, that is, the pairing unit includes a display unit and a communication unit. The combination structure can display the ID number of the RFID chip, or display information corresponding to a certain information stored in the RFID chip, so as to achieve association matching with the RFID chip. Taking the display of the ID number of the RFID chip as an example, when performing anti-counterfeiting verification, the device with NFC function reads the information stored in the RFID chip and sends it to the server. After the display and communication combination structure is triggered, the ID number of the RFID chip is sent to the server. The server can compare the ID number of the RFID chip with the ID number transmitted by the combination structure. If they are the same, it means that the RFID chip is associated with the pairing unit and paired, and the RFID chip has not been reused or the information has been copied and used on counterfeit products; if they are not the same, it means that the RFID chip is not associated with the pairing unit and paired, and the RFID chip is likely to be reused or the information has been copied and used on counterfeit products. The pairing unit can also be just a device that displays pre-stored or pre-marked information. During anti-counterfeiting verification, the user matches and verifies the ID number of the RFID chip displayed in the user terminal with the ID number displayed in the pairing unit.

[0042] For the second implementation method, a circuit structure is arranged in a perishable material. The circuit structure can be very simple, such as a load circuit composed of a resistor. The circuit structure is connected to the circuit of the RFID chip, so that when the circuit structure of the pairing unit is broken due to the overall damage of the pairing unit, the information recorded in the RFID chip cannot be displayed, and the anti-counterfeiting verification operation cannot be completed.

[0043] The above-mentioned anti-counterfeiting label can, to a certain extent, prevent the anti-counterfeiting label from being removed from the authentic product and reused on the counterfeit product through the destructible property of the destructible part, and then, by associating and pairing the RFID chip with the pairing unit, it can further prevent the chip information from being copied and used on the counterfeit product after the RFID chip is separated from the pairing unit. Therefore, through the dual means of setting the destructible part and associating and pairing the RFID chip with the pairing unit, the problem of the label being reused or the information being copied and used can be effectively solved, thereby improving the anti-counterfeiting effect.

[0044] As an example of a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,exist Figure 2 In the structure shown, the pairing unit is an OLED screen 50, and the OLED screen 50 is connected to the RFID chip 10 through the OLED wiring 20. Figure 2The pin diagram of the RFID chip part in the structure shown, the OLED is powered by the antenna coil. First, the OLED screen is made of an organic material coating and a glass substrate, and has the characteristic of high air resistance. When it is bent, the OLED screen is damaged and cannot be repaired, realizing the fragile characteristic; second, the OLED screen can be connected to the RFID chip circuit. After the OLED screen is damaged, the circuit of the RFID chip will be in a broken state, resulting in the RFID tag information cannot be displayed normally; third, the OLED screen has a display function, which can display information pre-marked by laser engraving and other technologies, such as information that merchants want to promote to consumers (such as the characteristics of the product), or information that consumers are interested in (such as the production date of the product), or the first pairing information associated with the RFID chip, such as the ID number of the RFID chip, to achieve the effect of double association pairing, further reducing the possibility of counterfeiting, while also enhancing the visual effect, enhancing the interactivity with the user, and enhancing the user experience; fourth, the OLED screen 50 is connected to the RFID The chip 10 circuit is connected, and the OLED screen 50 and the RFID chip 10 can also be powered passively. The energy of the RFID chip 10 and the OLED screen 50 comes from the antenna coil 30. The rectifier diode 40 rectifies the AC signal of the antenna coil 30 to power the OLED screen. When the device with the NFC function module scans the antenna coil, the RFID chip and the OLED screen work at the same time, thereby avoiding the need to set up a power supply module, simplifying the circuit structure and reducing the label size.

[0045] Of course, Figure 2 The structure shown is a preferred implementation method. The OLED screen and the RFID chip can also be associated and paired not through circuit connection, but only through the first method mentioned above. In this case, the OLED needs to be powered by a power supply module.

[0046] When in use, the anti-counterfeiting label can be pasted or embedded (preferably) on the seal of a product or product packaging. Consumers can first verify the authenticity of the product. If it is verified to be a counterfeit, they can directly return the product or not buy it. If it is verified to be authentic, they can tear off the anti-counterfeiting label and open the product. When the anti-counterfeiting label is torn off, the fragile part is destroyed, so that the entire anti-counterfeiting label cannot be used or copied again.

[0047] based on Figure 2 The anti-counterfeiting label of the structure shown in the figure, the embodiment of the present invention also provides an anti-counterfeiting verification method, the method comprises the following steps:

[0048] Step 1: The device with the NFC function module reads the information in the RFID chip and sends the information to the server. The information includes the second pairing information associated with the OLED screen and the anti-counterfeiting verification information, which includes but is not limited to commodity information, such as basic commodity information and / or commodity circulation information and / or the time and / or location and / or number of times the RFID chip is accessed. The second pairing information can be only the ID number of the RFID chip, or it can be other information including the ID number of the RFID chip, so that when the information read from the RFID chip is sent to the server, the server can know the source of the information.

[0049] Step 2, the server receives the information sent by the device with the NFC function module, retrieves the corresponding information from the database according to the ID number of the RFID chip, matches the retrieved information with the anti-counterfeiting verification information, and if the match is successful, the verification result is authentic, otherwise it is a counterfeit, and sends the verification result information to the device with the NFC function module so that consumers can view it through the display screen of the device. The verification result information can be customized, but at least includes the verification conclusion information and the first pairing information described later. The verification conclusion information is the conclusion of whether it is authentic or counterfeit, and may also include other information. For example, when it is verified to be authentic, it may also include the basic information and / or logistics information of the product. As another embodiment, the server may also directly send the retrieved information and / or the anti-counterfeiting verification information to the device with the NFC function module, and the user can compare and verify it by himself.

[0050] Step 3: The OLED screen displays pre-marked information, which includes at least the first pairing information associated with the RFID, and may also include product-related information, such as product name, ingredients, usage, features, etc. The first pairing information and the second pairing information may be the same, for example, both are ID numbers of the RFID chip, or the first pairing information and the second pairing information may be different but corresponding information.

[0051] In the above method, the user can perform an anti-counterfeiting verification through the anti-counterfeiting verification information stored in the RFID chip. The user can also perform a secondary anti-counterfeiting verification by comparing whether the second pairing information displayed on the user terminal matches the first pairing information displayed on the OLED screen. The double anti-counterfeiting verification method can prevent the anti-counterfeiting label from being reused or copied.

[0052] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
