Anti-counterfeiting and identification system for high-simulation counterfeit banknotes

Abstract

This invention discloses a highly realistic anti-counterfeiting and identification system for banknotes. It utilizes a smartphone and a specially designed app to read the original serial number or barcode printed on the banknote and transmit the information to the server's backend and database memory for comparison. The system can determine that a banknote with the same serial number or barcode is a counterfeit if it is read too many times (each banknote has a different serial number or barcode; if it is copied, there will be multiple banknotes with the same serial number or barcode, resulting in too many reads). In addition, when the phone reads the banknote, it also captures the timestamp and geographic coordinates. If the distance between two instances of the same serial number or barcode being identified is greater than the normal speed of movement, the system determines that it is a counterfeit banknote.

Claims

1. A high-simulation counterfeit banknote anti-counterfeiting and identification system for determining whether an identified banknote is a high-simulation counterfeit banknote, comprising: a server, a central processing unit with logic operation capabilities, and an identification module, a comparison module, an internal or external database, and a calculation module respectively connected to the central processing unit; and a smartphone, communicatively connected to the server, having an App application, an image acquisition module, a communication module, and a display module, wherein once the application is launched, it can provide a decoding module and an operation interface.

2. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 1, wherein: The smartphone uses the app to read the original serial number or barcode printed on the banknote and transmits it to the server for identification, comparing it with stored information in the database. If the same banknote with the same serial number or barcode is read too many times, the system determines that it may be a counterfeit banknote. When the smartphone reads the banknote, it also captures a timestamp and geographic coordinates. If the distance between two identifications of the same serial number or barcode divided by the time difference is greater than a normal moving speed, the system determines that it may be a counterfeit banknote.

3. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 2, wherein, The statement "If a banknote with the same serial number or barcode is read too many times, it is judged to be a counterfeit banknote that may have been copied" means that if the average interval between each banknote being read is much shorter than the average interval between each read of all banknotes that have been read, then the banknote is judged to be a counterfeit banknote that has been copied multiple times. The system will then display the banknote as potentially counterfeit on the user's smartphone and add it to the blacklist in the database.

4. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 2, wherein, "If the distance between two identifications of the same serial number or barcode is greater than the time difference, the system determines that it is a counterfeit banknote that has been copied." This means that the identification system will detect and store the time and latitude and longitude of each banknote being identified each time, and calculate the difference between the time and latitude and longitude of the previous identification. The distance difference calculated from the latitude and longitude difference is divided by the time difference. If the resulting speed is much greater than the speed of movement by a normal means of transportation, then it is determined that the two banknotes are different, that is, they are counterfeit banknotes that have been copied. The system will then display on the user's smartphone that the banknote may be counterfeit and add it to the blacklist in the database.

5. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 2, wherein, The app can be downloaded by the user from the Play Store or App Store on the smartphone. When the app is executed and allows the transmission of geographic information, the camera module of the smartphone can read the serial number or barcode on the banknote. The app can also perform all necessary communication functions between the smartphone and the server, as well as display an identification result and necessary information.

6. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 2, wherein, The serial number or barcode is a unique number composed of letters and numbers that every banknote must have. This serial number or barcode can be any of the various barcodes currently available on the market or a special barcode. The information in this serial number or barcode is different for each genuine banknote.

7. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 2, wherein, After the smartphone's app reads the serial number or barcode and identifies it, it sends the information to the server for comparison with the database. If the serial number or barcode information is present and not on the blacklist, the smartphone will identify it. If neither is determined to be counterfeit, the smartphone will display that it is genuine.

8. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 2, wherein, Each time it is identified, the system updates the database with relevant data for the serial number or barcode. This relevant data can be any of the following: a dimension, a time period, or a number.

9. The anti-counterfeiting and identification system for highly realistic counterfeit banknotes as described in claim 2, wherein the "average interval between each identification of all identified banknotes" can be recalculated and updated each time each banknote is identified, or it can be recalculated and updated only after an appropriate period of time.
