Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a digital anti-counterfeiting system for commodities, and particularly to a digital anti-counterfeiting system and method for bottle caps. Background Technology

[0002] In today's society, counterfeit goods have become a serious problem in the global economy. They not only greatly damage the interests of manufacturers and consumers and disrupt market order, but also have an extremely negative impact on brand building and maintaining social stability. The application of digital anti-counterfeiting systems can, to a certain extent, prevent and reduce the occurrence of counterfeit and substandard goods. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned technical problems of current products with bottle caps, and to provide a dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap and its manufacturing method that can be used for anti-counterfeiting, customer information collection and promotional incentives.

[0004] To achieve the purpose of this invention, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0005] The dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap of the present invention includes an encrypted information QR code and an anti-counterfeiting query QR code. The encrypted information QR code is set on the outside of the bottle cap, and the anti-counterfeiting query QR code is set on the inside of the bottle cap.

[0006] The encrypted information QR code described in this invention is associated with a product information management platform, and the client scanning the encrypted information QR code is a mobile phone or a QR code scanner.

[0007] The anti-counterfeiting query QR code described in this invention is associated with a computer identification system, which in turn is associated with a product information management platform.

[0008] The bottle cap of the present invention includes a sleeve, which is composed of an upper sleeve and a lower sleeve. The upper and lower sleeves are connected together by a brittle connecting part, and the anti-counterfeiting query QR code is located above the brittle connecting part.

[0009] The bottle cap of the present invention also includes an inner cap fitted inside the sleeve, and the anti-counterfeiting query QR code is set on the top surface of the inner space of the sleeve or on the top surface of the inner cap.

[0010] This invention also provides a method for manufacturing a dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap, used to manufacture the aforementioned dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0011] 1) Bottle caps are supplied by a bottle cap manufacturing company, and the winery provides product information to the bottle cap manufacturing company;

[0012] 2) The bottle cap manufacturing company creates an anti-counterfeiting query QR code. Before the product information is entered into the network, each product is assigned a unique anti-counterfeiting code. Then, the anti-counterfeiting code is recombined according to the coding rules of the computer identification system to generate a disordered code. The resulting disordered code is the anti-counterfeiting query QR code.

[0013] 3) The bottle cap manufacturing company builds the product information management platform and computer identification system, which are connected. Then, the product information is input into the product information management platform and computer identification system, and the anti-counterfeiting code is input into the computer identification system and uniquely corresponds to the corresponding product.

[0014] 4) The bottle cap manufacturing company creates encrypted information QR codes. Each encrypted information QR code corresponds to a unique anti-counterfeiting query QR code and is linked to the product information management platform.

[0015] 5) Print the encrypted information QR code on the outside of the bottle cap and the anti-counterfeiting query QR code on the inside of the bottle cap to complete the production of the dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap.

[0016] The difference between the dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap and its manufacturing method of this invention and existing technologies lies in the following: Each anti-counterfeiting code on the dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap of this invention corresponds to a unique product. After a single query, the authenticity information cannot be obtained again, and the computer identification system will prompt, "The number you queried was queried on [date] and is invalid. Beware of counterfeits." If a company directly replicates the stolen anti-counterfeiting query QR codes in large quantities and prints them on counterfeit wines, only one product will indicate that it is genuine. When querying the authenticity of other counterfeit products, the system will prompt, "The number you queried was queried on [date] and is invalid. Beware of counterfeits." Therefore, for each counterfeited product, a genuine product needs to be purchased, significantly increasing the company's counterfeiting costs.

[0017] Furthermore, the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 can only enter the computer recognition system if it corresponds to the encrypted information QR code 2. This means that companies will need to counterfeit the encrypted information QR code 2, further increasing the cost of counterfeiting. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, the dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap of this embodiment includes an encrypted information QR code 2 and an anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3. The encrypted information QR code 2 is located on the outside of the bottle cap, and the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 is located on the inside of the bottle cap. Since QR codes on curved surfaces are difficult to read, the encrypted information QR code 2 in this embodiment is located at the top of the bottle cap. The specific location of the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 can be determined according to the structure of the bottle cap. For example, if the provided bottle cap is a single aluminum alloy sleeve, then the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 is located at the top of the internal space of the aluminum alloy sleeve 1. If a sealing gasket is provided inside the aluminum alloy sleeve, the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3... The code 3 can also be printed on the sealing gasket. For example, in this embodiment, a complex anti-counterfeiting bottle cap is provided. The bottle cap includes a sleeve 1 and an inner cap located inside the sleeve 1. The sleeve 1 consists of an upper sleeve 1 and a lower sleeve 1, which are connected together by a brittle connecting part. The anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 can be printed on the top surface of the inner space of the inner cap, above the brittle connecting part 4. In this way, the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 is located in a position that cannot be observed or scanned when the bottle cap is not opened. When the bottle cap is not opened, the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 of the product cannot be obtained, thus improving the security of the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3.

[0020] If a company opens the bottle cap and obtains the anti-counterfeiting verification QR code, since each code is unique and expires after one verification, it cannot be applied in large quantities to other counterfeit alcoholic products. This serves as an anti-counterfeiting measure. The specific design method is as follows:

[0021] (1) Bottle caps are provided by bottle cap manufacturing companies, and product information is provided by wineries to bottle cap manufacturing companies. Product information includes product name, number, place of origin, production date and product description. Depending on specific needs, wineries can also provide product promotion information, product usage surveys and other information to bottle cap manufacturing companies for use when building a product information management platform.

[0022] (2) The bottle cap manufacturing company creates anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3. Before the product information is entered into the network, each product is given a unique anti-counterfeiting code (i.e. string). The anti-counterfeiting code is composed of numbers 0-9 or a combination of letters. Then, the anti-counterfeiting code is recombined according to the coding rules of the computer identification system to generate a disordered code. The disordered code is the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3. In this way, it is difficult for counterfeiting companies to decipher the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 and cannot counterfeit the winery's products in large quantities.

[0023] (3) The bottle cap manufacturing company builds a product information management platform and a computer identification system. The product information management platform and the computer identification system are connected. Then, the product information is input into the product information management platform and the computer identification system, and the anti-counterfeiting code is input into the computer identification system and uniquely corresponds to the corresponding product.

[0024] (4) The bottle cap manufacturing company creates encrypted information QR code 2, each encrypted information QR code 2 corresponds to a unique anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3, and the encrypted information QR code 2 is linked to the product information management platform;

[0025] (5) Print the encrypted information QR code 2 on the outside of the bottle cap and print the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 on the inside of the bottle cap to complete the production of the dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle cap.

[0026] The usage instructions for the above dual-code anti-counterfeiting bottle caps are as follows:

[0027] (1) Product promotion: Customers scan the encrypted information QR code 2 to enter the product information management platform and query the product name, number, place of origin, production date and product introduction, etc. The scanning terminal of the customer scanning the encrypted information QR code 2 is a mobile phone or QR code scanner. After entering the product information management platform, customers can participate in promotional activities after entering their personal information. In this way, the winery can also collect customer information and analyze the product positioning, consumer groups, market expectations, etc.

[0028] (2) Anti-counterfeiting: After entering the product information management platform, if the user wants to check the authenticity, he / she can open the anti-counterfeiting link. The management platform prompts the user to scan the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 inside the bottle cap. Since each encrypted information QR code 2 corresponds to a unique anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3, only when the encrypted information QR code 2 corresponds to the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 can the product information management platform be connected to the computer identification system. This can increase the security of the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 and make the product more difficult to counterfeit. After scanning, the scanned anti-counterfeiting QR code 3 is recorded in the product information management platform and then transmitted to the computer identification system. The computer identification system uses a specific algorithm to calculate the anti-counterfeiting code based on the anti-counterfeiting QR code 3, and then compares it with the anti-counterfeiting code corresponding to each product entered during network access. If they match, the corresponding voice file is retrieved, stating: "The product you are inquiring about is XX product produced by XX factory, with a shelf life of XX years, and it is a genuine product." At the same time, the computer identification system records the queried information. If the anti-counterfeiting code does not match after comparison, the system prompts for re-entry and states: "The number you entered is incorrect. Beware of counterfeits." If the anti-counterfeiting code comparison reveals a previous query record, the system states: "The number you are inquiring about was queried on [date] and is now invalid. Beware of counterfeits."

[0029] When a company intending to counterfeit a product opens the bottle cap and obtains the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3, the company usually checks whether the product corresponding to the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 is genuine. If it is genuine, the company will mass-produce the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 and apply it to counterfeit wine products.

[0030] Because each product in this invention corresponds to a unique anti-counterfeiting code, once queried, its authenticity cannot be verified again. Furthermore, the computer identification system will display a message stating, "The number you queried was already queried on [date] and is now invalid. Beware of counterfeits." If a company were to mass-produce counterfeit anti-counterfeiting QR codes onto counterfeit alcoholic beverages, only one product would be identified as genuine. Queries on other counterfeit products would display the message, "The number you queried was already queried on [date] and is now invalid. Beware of counterfeits." Therefore, each counterfeited product requires the purchase of a genuine one, significantly increasing the company's counterfeiting costs.

[0031] Furthermore, the anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3 can only enter the computer recognition system if it corresponds to the encrypted information QR code 2. This means that companies will need to counterfeit the encrypted information QR code 2, further increasing the cost of counterfeiting.

[0032] (3) Optimize winery management: The winery can read the encrypted information QR code 2 through a dedicated reading device (the dedicated reading device is equipped with a decoder) and enter the computer identification system through the product information management platform. The authenticity, production date, distribution area and other information of the product can be obtained without the need for the internal anti-counterfeiting query QR code 3. This can facilitate and effectively carry out anti-counterfeiting, traceability and anti-diversion of goods.

[0033] The above description is an explanation of the present invention and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims. The present invention may be modified in any form without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
