Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of anti-counterfeiting technology for alcoholic beverages, specifically relating to an information acquisition system for the entire logistics process of alcoholic beverages. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the high profits involved, counterfeiting and fake wine products are rampant. Various anti-counterfeiting technologies, such as anti-counterfeiting labels, laser anti-counterfeiting, QR codes, barcodes, and related anti-counterfeiting methods, have emerged one after another. There are many types of anti-counterfeiting methods for bottle caps, bottles, and packaging, but none of them can completely eliminate counterfeiting and fake products, and it is difficult to achieve full-process management of wine products from production and bottling to consumption.

[0003] For example, with anti-counterfeiting labels, as long as there is sufficient profit, manufacturers can produce labels, and counterfeiters, with a certain cost and time, can mostly produce indistinguishable fakes. Similarly, while a single QR code, whether on the bottle cap, bottle body, or packaging, may superficially correspond to the product, it still cannot prevent cross-selling and counterfeiting of the contents during marketing and distribution. Therefore, anti-counterfeiting technologies that combine explicit and implicit codes, as well as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and QR code information, have emerged.

[0004] Chinese invention patent CN101814152B discloses an anti-counterfeiting method based on a readable identification code and its response code, comprising the following steps: (1) using a reader to read the readable identification code information set on the product to be verified; (2) determining whether the reader can recognize the read readable identification code information. If the determination is no, the product to be verified is a counterfeit; if the determination is yes, the information indicated by the readable identification code is interpreted; (3) determining whether to pay for the product to be verified based on the information indicated by the interpreted readable identification code. If the determination is no, the anti-counterfeiting verification of the product to be verified ends; if the determination is yes, the sales fee for purchasing the product to be verified needs to be paid through the sales terminal. After the payment is completed, the system automatically notifies the customer. (3) Send a verification request for the readable identification code to the server via the network; (4) The server calls the unique corresponding response code information of the readable identification code in the database according to the verification request of the input readable identification code. After confirmation and printing submission, the readable identification code information and the response code information can be printed and displayed at the same time. The server automatically removes the readable identification code information and its unique corresponding response code information from the database; (5) Open the coating layer under the readable identification code layer on the surface of the product to be verified and display the preset response code information; (6) Compare the response code information sent back by the server with the preset response code information. If the two information are inconsistent, the product to be verified is judged to be counterfeit; if the two information are consistent, the product to be verified is judged to be genuine. However, in the above anti-counterfeiting method, the hidden code can still be stolen by existing technology without removing the coating layer, and then counterfeiting is not a problem. More importantly, it cannot solve the problem of the whole process management of wine.

[0005] Chinese invention patent CN113435562B discloses a liquor bottle cap with RFID and QR code information association and its manufacturing method. This smart bottle cap uses RFID technology to collect publicly available information such as logistics management and product traceability, while the QR code is assigned hidden information such as a reward code. Consumers can scan the publicly available RFID information using their mobile phone's NFC function before purchasing; the hidden information can only be accessed by scanning the QR code after opening the bottle cap. However, this solution cannot handle issues with RFID reading malfunctions, nor can it achieve end-to-end management of the liquor from bottling to consumption.

[0006] Chinese utility model patent CN214175106U discloses a system for collecting and associating QR codes on wine boxes and packaging cartons. It addresses the problem that manually collecting and associating QR codes on wine boxes or bottles with those on packaging cartons using handheld scanners / PDAs is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing production speed and increasing costs. The patent proposes a fully automated system for collecting and associating QR codes on wine boxes and packaging cartons to prevent cross-selling and facilitate management. However, this method is primarily applicable to automated production lines in wineries and lacks effective end-to-end management for post-production transportation, distributor management, and ultimately, customer consumption.

[0007] In summary, while current anti-counterfeiting measures on the inner cap of wine bottles are relatively effective, they require opening the bottle to verify authenticity, which is inconvenient and not intuitive for consumers. Furthermore, external anti-counterfeiting codes on boxes, cartons, and bottles can be copied or forged. Due to the lack of continuous information collection and management, the pressure to produce and sell counterfeit products is not significant. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a complete wine logistics information acquisition system to effectively prevent and verify the authenticity of wine products. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the above issues, this invention designs a wine logistics full-process information acquisition system that integrates anti-counterfeiting with full-process logistics management. This system can better achieve full-process management of wine from production and bottling to consumption, protecting the interests of consumers and genuine wineries.

[0009] This invention discloses a wine logistics full-process information acquisition system. The system includes a database and back-end management module, a wine bottling (or canning, referred to as bottled wine in this application) certification module, a bottle sealing certification module, a bottle packaging (including bottle packaging boxes, bags or films, referred to as box packaging in this application) certification module, a carton packaging certification module, a logistics registration module, a sales registration module, and an open-and-drink certification module. The wine bottling certification module, bottle sealing certification module, bottle packaging certification module, carton packaging certification module, logistics registration module, sales registration module, and open-and-drink certification module are all signal-connected to the database and back-end management module. The wine bottling authentication module acquires or generates the inner code of the bottle cap and marks the code on the inside of the bottle cap (such as by engraving or etching). The inner code of the bottle cap identifies the bottle cap and / or the wine encapsulated by the bottle cap and is unique. The encapsulation is a one-time encapsulation. The bottle sealing authentication module acquires or generates an external code on the bottle body and sets it on the outside of the bottle body and / or cap. The external code is visible to the consumer after the packaging box is opened, while the internal code on the cap is only visible after the cap is opened. However, the internal code is invisible and unknowable to the consumer when the cap is closed, and its true coded content remains unseen even after scanning; it can generally only be verified by the system through scanning. The bottle packaging authentication module acquires or generates an anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box and sets it on the outside of the bottle packaging box. The carton packaging authentication module acquires or generates an anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box and sets it on the outside of the bottle packaging box. A packaging box anti-counterfeiting code is generated and affixed to the packaging box body; the packaging box anti-counterfeiting code includes a radio frequency identification code (RFID) and an image recognition code; the inner code on the bottle cap, the outer code on the bottle body, and the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box correspond one-to-one, and the packaging box anti-counterfeiting code corresponds to several sets of inner codes on the bottle cap, outer codes on the bottle body, and anti-counterfeiting codes on the packaging box; the packaging box anti-counterfeiting code is associated with the anti-counterfeiting codes of the packaging boxes (multiple bottles of wine) in the same box, indicating that they are from the same box; the packaging box anti-counterfeiting code is associated one-to-one with the outer code on the bottle body and the inner code on the bottle cap, indicating that they are from the same bottle of wine; The logistics registration module includes product warehousing information registration, as well as post-outbound circulation process information registration or circulation process information registration from the production line directly into the distribution channel (this application classifies outbound information as circulation process information); the warehousing information includes the storage or circulation location of the packaging box, warehousing time, and responsible person information; the circulation process information includes the shipping time, location, responsible person, and receiving time, location, and responsible person information, and generally also includes the mode of transportation, the quantity of goods in the same batch, etc. The roles of the origin and destination will be interchanged during the continuous circulation process, which can also be referred to as the circulation location; the sales registration module records at least "product sold" and / or "sales date" information when the product is actually sold; The bottle-opening and drinking authentication module verifies the authenticity of the wine by scanning the code inside the bottle cap, connecting to the database and the back-end management module.

[0010] The database and back-end management module includes an information collection and storage unit, an inbound / outbound anomaly analysis and warning unit, and a sales anomaly analysis and warning unit (collectively referred to as the analysis and warning unit). The information collection and storage unit collects the inner code of the bottle cap, the outer code of the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging carton, and stores them in the database according to their corresponding relationships. The anomaly analysis and warning includes analyzing and comparing the consistency or correlation of relevant data or comparing it with the corresponding threshold through real-time or near-real-time collection of full-process information. When an anomaly is found, the system issues a warning message and records and stores it. Generally, the system administrator also needs to enter the processing result information to form a closed loop.

[0011] Furthermore, the responsible persons include the packaging manager, warehouse manager, transferor (shipper), consignee, or corresponding legal representative; the abnormal inbound / outbound operations include at least one of the following: a discarded or sold packaging box is scanned again by RFID code for inbound / outbound operations; inconsistent local inbound / outbound automatic scanning information; or inconsistent inbound / outbound information for the same logistics shipment; the abnormal sales operations include cases of wine that have not left the warehouse but at least one bottle's packaging box anti-counterfeiting code is marked as sold by the last-level distributor or the bottle cap code is scanned by a consumer (the backend database indicates it has been consumed or opened); and / or the abnormal sales operations include a significant difference between the consumption location of the bottle cap code scan and the final logistics destination of the corresponding packaging box or the location of the last-level distributor within the same sales area for a period of time (e.g., 1 day or 10 days) (e.g., the two locations are more than 100km apart or separated by at least one sales area), and the number of differences reaches the first threshold for abnormal sales, at which point the system issues a sales abnormality alert.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner code on the bottle cap, the outer code on the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton are interconnected through the database and the back-end management module. The anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton corresponds to a unique outer code on the bottle body and a unique inner code on the bottle cap. A set of anti-counterfeiting codes on the packaging carton, the outer code on the bottle body, and the inner code on the bottle cap are determined through the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner code on the bottle cap, the outer code on the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton are collectively referred to as anti-counterfeiting codes. The anti-counterfeiting codes include at least one of QR codes, barcodes, strings, graphic images, or RFID. The inner code on the bottle cap is different from any of the outer code on the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner code on the bottle cap is generated by the wine bottling authentication module and transmitted to the database and backend management module, or it is generated by the database and backend management module and transmitted to the wine bottling authentication module for coding. The inner code on the bottle cap includes a QR code that is only visible after the cap is opened.

[0015] Furthermore, the logistics registration module also includes an automatic information verification unit for inbound and outbound packaging. The automatic information verification includes sampling or random scanning of the packaging box image recognition code and verifying it with the radio frequency identification anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging box. If the verification is inconsistent, an abnormal prompt will be issued.

[0016] Furthermore, the inner code of the bottle cap includes a QR code that is only visible after the cap is opened and an RFID code that is automatically emitted when the cap is opened. The RFID code is automatically powered on and emitted by the RFID module embedded inside the bottle cap when the cap is rotated open or after the cap is opened, and is connected to the database and the back-end management module via a wireless signal such as a 5G signal. That is, the RFID module is embedded inside the bottle cap when the bottle is sealed.

[0017] Furthermore, the code inside the bottle cap includes a random code and / or an encryption code; it can also be a system-based code, but the encoding pattern needs to be kept secret; the encryption code can be randomly generated or a part of the code can be randomly generated (the remaining part is generated by the code based on the pattern) or the system designer can encode it according to a certain pattern and then encrypt it.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottle cap internal code contains several items, including the product number, packaging time information, and wine brewing year information. This information can be displayed to consumers after scanning, making it easy for them to compare with the information on the packaging box, packaging box, or bottle. However, the encrypted or random code portion of the bottle cap internal code remains invisible to consumers; only backend administrators with authorized access can see it, and it cannot be modified. In principle, the bottle cap internal codes of all wines on sale are unique, meaning that the internal codes of consumed bottles are not included in the comparison range and can be reused. However, in practical applications, due to the sufficient code length, duplication will not occur within a sufficiently long period, such as 1000 years, and the encrypted or random code portion of the bottle cap internal code will not be repeated.

[0019] Furthermore, the circulation process information also includes several items such as the name of the intermediary, the mode of transportation, and the quantity of goods in the same batch.

[0020] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The wine logistics full-process information acquisition system designed in this invention, by setting anti-counterfeiting codes and a full-process authentication module, utilizes a database and back-end management module to achieve full-process information acquisition of wine logistics, making wine anti-counterfeiting and counterfeiting verifiable and increasing the cost of counterfeiting, thereby greatly reducing counterfeiting activities and better protecting the interests of consumers and genuine wineries. In particular, the design of an RF module that automatically connects to the power supply and emits a 5G signal to connect to the database and back-end management module after the bottle cap is opened, combined with the bottle cap internal code encryption design and full-process information acquisition, can better reduce and control counterfeit and substandard behavior. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the principle of the whole process information acquisition system for wine logistics. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1 This invention designs a system for acquiring information on the entire process of wine logistics, such as... Figure 1As shown, the system includes a database and back-end management module, a wine bottling (or canning, referred to as bottled wine in this application) certification module, a bottle sealing certification module, a bottle packaging (including bottle packaging boxes, bags, or films, referred to as box packaging in this application) certification module, a carton packaging certification module, a logistics registration module, a sales registration module, and an open-and-drink certification module. All of these modules are connected to the database and back-end management module via signals. Information exchange is generally achieved through the internet and / or the Internet of Things (IoT), and the entire process of wine management from bottling to consumption is managed under the unified management of the database and back-end management module. Each carton typically contains at least two bottles of wine, such as 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12 bottles per carton. The database and back-end management module completes the information authentication and logistics information collection, storage, and management for each module. The wine bottling authentication module acquires or generates an internal code on the bottle cap and affixes it to the inside of the bottle cap (e.g., by engraving or etching). This internal code uniquely identifies the bottle cap and / or the wine it contains; it cannot be obtained without opening the bottle. The packaging is a one-time process, thus enabling management of wine bottling, packaging, and authentication upon opening. One-time packaging technology is commonly used for liquid product packaging. After coding, an opaque film is placed over the internal code. This film can be peeled off after opening the cap to scan the code, preventing special detection methods from obtaining the code without opening the bottle cap. This embodiment uses a QR code. For example, the QR code is generated randomly or according to a certain pattern, and includes production time information to ensure that it does not repeat; the inner code is generally generated before the bottle cap is sealed and is printed on the inside of the bottle cap. After printing, the production line directly seals the bottle. The inner code is transmitted to the database and the back-end management module through the wine bottling module and enters the management process, thereby preventing the inner code from being leaked; after the bottle cap is sealed, the inner code can only be scanned for verification or automatically obtained for authentication after the bottle cap is opened (the specific authentication process is the function of the bottle opening and drinking authentication module). After the user opens the bottle cap to scan the code for verification or authentication, the entire process management task of the bottle of wine ends. The bottle sealing authentication module acquires or generates an external code on the bottle and sets it on the outside of the bottle and / or cap. The external code is visible to the consumer after opening the packaging box, while the internal code on the cap is only visible after opening. When the cap is closed, the internal code is invisible and unknowable to the consumer, and its true encoding content remains unseen even after scanning; it can generally only be verified by the system through scanning. The bottle packaging authentication module acquires or generates an anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box and sets it on the outside of the bottle packaging box. The carton packaging authentication module acquires or generates an anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box and sets it on the carton body. The anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) code and an image recognition code, ensuring that both radio frequency and video methods can automatically identify the entire carton packaging independently or simultaneously. In this embodiment, setting an RFID code on the packaging box is mainly to facilitate the entry and exit of the entire pallet of wine. The system automatically scans and identifies components to improve the intelligence and efficiency of logistics. It also includes image recognition codes (such as QR codes) to facilitate manual or automatic image scanning and identification, serving as a backup method to address potential shortcomings of RFID scanning or when RFID scanning equipment is unavailable. The bottle cap inner code, bottle outer code, and packaging box anti-counterfeiting code are each uniquely associated. The packaging box anti-counterfeiting code corresponds to several sets of bottle cap inner codes, bottle outer codes, and packaging box anti-counterfeiting codes. Each set of bottle cap inner codes, bottle outer codes, and packaging box anti-counterfeiting codes jointly identifies the same bottle of wine. The number of bottles in a full case equals the number of sets of bottle cap inner codes, bottle outer codes, and packaging box anti-counterfeiting codes corresponding to one packaging box anti-counterfeiting code. In other words, the packaging box anti-counterfeiting code is associated with the anti-counterfeiting codes of the packaging boxes (multiple bottles) within the same case, indicating that they belong to the same case. The packaging box anti-counterfeiting code is also uniquely associated with the bottle outer code and bottle cap inner code, indicating that they belong to the same bottle of wine. The logistics registration module includes product warehousing information registration, as well as post-outbound circulation process information registration or direct entry from the production line into the distribution process information registration (this application classifies outbound information as circulation process information); the warehousing information includes the storage or circulation location of the packaging box, warehousing time, and responsible person information; the circulation process information includes the shipping time, location, responsible person, and receiving time, location, and responsible person information, and generally also includes the mode of transportation, quantity of goods in the same batch, etc. The roles of the origin and destination will be interchanged during the continuous circulation process, which can also be called circulation location; the sales registration module registers at least "product sold" and / or "sales date" information when the product is actually sold; the logistics registration unit and sales registration unit are mainly realized by the timely registration of logistics information and product sales information by the distributor, which generally only requires scanning the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box and / or the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, thereby realizing the acquisition of information such as the logistics transfer of single bottles and whole cases of wine and whether they have been sold; The bottle-opening and drinking authentication module verifies the authenticity of the wine by scanning the code inside the bottle cap and connecting to the database and backend management module. Generally, the system (the official system of the wine manufacturer) is used for scanning to confirm authenticity. Once the wine enters circulation, the system registers the wine as consumed (not purchased or sold) upon the first scan of the code inside the bottle cap if the scan is valid. If the scan information is abnormal, does not match the logistics information, or the logistics do not indicate that the wine has been sold (i.e., there is no final sales information), the system prompts for investigation. Since scanning the code for bottle-opening and drinking authentication is a consumer action, the system does not mandate scanning; it generally only incentivizes consumers. Therefore, whether the wine has been sold is handled by the end distributor through the sales registration module. Whether the wine has been consumed and its authenticity verified is not mandatory. Thus, this module is not strictly necessary in principle. However, from the perspective of wine management design, this module is essential for a complete logistics and anti-counterfeiting information management system. The combined functionality of these modules enables end-to-end management of wine from bottling to consumption.

[0024] The possibility that consumers may not comply with the bottle opening and drinking certification and circulation registration is a key issue that needs to be considered when acquiring information on the entire wine logistics process. Generally, circulation registration can be enforced by logistics personnel or retailers through penalties or even the cancellation of sales or consignment qualifications. However, it is not possible to enforce it on consumers. Usually, consumers are encouraged to participate in certification through methods such as scanning QR codes for lucky draws or cash back. Considering that QR code sales have become a routine operation, once the sales information is confirmed, the management of that bottle of wine can be considered to have ended for a certain period. The probability of wines not being finally certified does not affect the grasp and analysis of information on the overall market. This is a tolerable defect in acquiring information on the entire wine logistics process.

[0025] The database and back-end management module includes an information collection and storage unit, an inbound / outbound anomaly analysis and warning unit, and a sales anomaly analysis and warning unit (collectively referred to as the analysis and warning unit). The information collection and storage unit collects the inner code of the bottle cap, the outer code of the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging carton, and stores them in the database according to their corresponding relationships. The anomaly analysis and warning includes analyzing and comparing the consistency or correlation of relevant data or comparing it with the corresponding threshold through real-time or near-real-time collection of full-process information. When an anomaly is found, the system issues a warning message and records and stores it. Generally, the system administrator also needs to enter the processing result information to form a closed loop.

[0026] The database also reserves fields for information such as production date and consumer information. Through complete information collection (acquisition), it leaves no room for counterfeiting and selling counterfeit goods. The entire process of information acquisition includes the following steps: S1. Wine bottling (also known as canning or bottling, where "bottle" refers to any wine container, including metal, plastic, glass, ceramic, disposable paper packaging, etc., not limited to bottles in the narrow sense) certification involves generating an internal anti-counterfeiting code through random code generation or encrypted coding. This internal anti-counterfeiting code is engraved (or etched) on the inside of the bottle cap, referred to as the bottle cap internal code. After bottling, a sealing device seals the bottle with the engraved internal code onto the corresponding bottle (also called sealing; the bottle cap internal code is a common term, but also includes the inside of the bottle handle and other sealing devices). The internal code corresponds one-to-one with the sealed wine and is unique. The sealing operation is a one-time operation; once opened, it cannot be restored. This technology is currently a mature technology for liquid bottling. The uniqueness of the internal code includes that its internal code (also called encoding) is unique relative to the bottled wine, or that the combination of "internal code + production time information and / or wine brewing year information" is unique. S2. Bottle sealing authentication: The bottle cap and / or bottle body are equipped with external anti-counterfeiting codes (referred to as the bottle cap external code and bottle body code, respectively), which are collectively referred to as the bottle body external code in this application. After the bottle sealing test is completed and the system is normal, the database and back-end management module mark the bottle of wine as entering the circulation process (e.g., setting the corresponding mark code in the database record related to the inner code of the bottle of wine). The bottle body external code and the bottle cap inner code are one-to-one correspondences. In the wine management, this correspondence is unique. That is, one bottle body external code uniquely determines one bottle cap inner code, and one bottle cap inner code uniquely determines one set of bottle body external codes. If external codes are set on both the bottle cap and the bottle body, the two external codes, the bottle cap external code and the bottle body code, can be the same or different, but they can both uniquely correspond to one inner code. The external codes can be generated through the inner code to achieve one-to-one correspondence, or can be generated independently and randomly, and the database and back-end management module can achieve one-to-one correspondence. S3. Bottle packaging (including bottle packaging boxes, bags or films, this application uses box packaging instead) certification, setting anti-counterfeiting codes for packaging boxes (referred to as box codes), establishing a one-to-one correspondence between the code inside the bottle cap and / or the code outside the bottle body through the database and back-end management module. Once a correspondence is established between the two, the other will naturally correspond one-to-one as well. S4. Packaging Certification: Anti-counterfeiting codes (referred to as "box codes") are set on the packaging boxes. A database and backend management module are used to establish a correspondence between these codes and all the anti-counterfeiting codes on the boxes within the packaging box. This naturally establishes a correspondence with all the external codes on the bottles and the internal codes on the bottle caps within the packaging box. One anti-counterfeiting code corresponds to one set of anti-counterfeiting codes on the packaging boxes. Product warehousing information is registered, or logistics information is registered when the product directly enters the distribution process from the production line. The warehousing information includes the storage or transfer location of the packaging box, the warehousing time, and the responsible person (e.g., the shipper). The logistics information includes the shipping time, location, responsible person, and the receiving time, location, and responsible person (e.g., the recipient). The specific registration method can be automatic registration via local radio frequency scanning to identify the RFID on the packaging box, and / or video scanning to identify the QR code or barcode on the outside of the packaging box, or manual registration. Regardless of the registration method, the responsible person information should be included for later traceability. (General production...) Information on responsible persons in the factory area is automatically registered through the factory automation management system or shift handover registration. For intermediaries or warehouses, the system can also automatically enter and display the responsible person's information when the user scans and identifies the information using pre-entered RFID or image scanner configuration information or intermediary configuration information. The system only recognizes registered responsible persons and does not recognize manually entered responsible persons, which facilitates accountability. The responsible persons include the packaging manager or the distributor (shipper), consignee, etc. The anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging box includes RFID code and / or image recognition code. A set of anti-counterfeiting codes for packaging boxes generally has at least two, usually four, six, eight, or twelve. In this way, when a whole case of wine leaves the factory or warehouse, the information of all bottled wine entering circulation can be obtained through RFID and / or image recognition. The system automatically enters the logistics information into the database and the back-end management module. The responsible persons include at least one of the following: the actual responsible person, the contact person, and the legal representative. S5. Logistics Information Registration: Timely registration of logistics information, including at least factory (or warehouse) information and final sales information. If intermediaries exist, the logistics information also includes intermediary circulation information. The final sales information includes information on the sale of wine to end customers by the distributor, including at least "product sold" and / or "sales date" information. This is also known as mandatory sales certification information, requiring the final distributor to scan and fill in the corresponding wine's final sales information. All intermediaries and final distributors must be registered merchants. The system does not support unregistered units or individuals as circulation points or responsible persons, but they can be associated users of registered users, and the responsibility still lies with the registered users. When applying this method, it is recommended that consumers perform purchase information certification. That is, it is suggested that consumers use the official interface of the wine manufacturer to scan the outer code on the bottle, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, or the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton when purchasing. This allows them to view the production and logistics information corresponding to the purchased bottle or carton of wine. If incomplete information is found, consumers can report or refuse to purchase. If the information is confirmed to be normal and the purchase is made, the corresponding option information should be submitted. S6. Opening and Drinking Authentication: After opening the bottle, scan the code inside the cap (e.g., with a mobile phone) to verify the authenticity of the wine. Since the official interface of the wine manufacturer is used for scanning to confirm authenticity, the system registers the wine as consumed upon the first scan of the inner code if it is valid. Note that this does not mean the wine has been purchased or sold. If the scan information is abnormal, does not match the logistics information, or the logistics does not indicate that the wine has been sold (i.e., there is no final sales information), the system will prompt that an investigation should be conducted. Because scanning is a consumer action, the management system does not mandate scanning; it generally only incentivizes consumers to scan. Therefore, whether the wine is sold is completed through the end distributor, and whether it is consumed and its authenticity verified is not mandatory. Thus, this step is not strictly required, but from the perspective of wine management method design, this step is essential for a complete logistics and anti-counterfeiting information management process.

[0027] Preferably, the responsible person includes the corresponding personnel from the packaging manager, warehouse manager, consignor (shipper), consignee, or legal representative; the abnormal inbound / outbound operations include at least one of the following: a case of wine that has been discarded or in which at least one bottle has been sold is scanned again by RFID code for inbound / outbound operations; inconsistent local inbound / outbound code scanning information; or inconsistent inbound / outbound information corresponding to the same logistics shipment. The abnormal sales operations include cases of wine that have not left the warehouse but in which at least one bottle's anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box has been marked as sold by the last-level distributor, or the anti-counterfeiting code inside the bottle cap has been marked as sold. If a consumer scans the code (the backend database identifies the product as consumed or opened), and / or if the sales anomaly includes a significant discrepancy between the consumption location of the code scanned within the bottle cap and the final logistics destination of the corresponding box or the location of the last distributor within the same sales area for a period of time (e.g., 1 day or 10 days), and the number of discrepancies reaches the first threshold for abnormal sales, the system will issue a sales anomaly alert. The first threshold for abnormal sales is set to 10 boxes or 30 bottles of wine; in this embodiment, it is set to 10 boxes.

[0028] Preferably, the inner code on the bottle cap, the outer code on the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton are interconnected through a database and a back-end management module. The anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box corresponds to a unique outer code on the bottle body and a unique inner code on the bottle cap. A set of anti-counterfeiting codes for the packaging box, the outer code on the bottle body, and the inner code on the bottle cap is determined by the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton. This set of anti-counterfeiting codes for the packaging carton generally has at least two codes, typically four, six, eight, or twelve. Thus, when a case of wine leaves the factory or warehouse, information on all bottled wine entering circulation can be obtained through RFID radio frequency identification and / or image recognition, and the system automatically enters the logistics information into the database and the back-end management module. The responsible person includes at least one of the following: the actual responsible person, the contact person, and the legal representative.

[0029] Preferably, the inner code on the bottle cap, the outer code on the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton are collectively referred to as anti-counterfeiting codes. These anti-counterfeiting codes include at least one of the following: QR code, barcode, string, graphic image, or RFID. When a string is used as an anti-counterfeiting code, it is generally an encrypted string. Only after identification can meaningful information for the user be obtained, such as authentication results, brewing year or production date, and circulation process information, which can be verified against the information on the packaging box. The code content of the outer code on the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton can be the same or different; generally, different codes are used for identification, and relevant registrations are made in the database and backend management module. Furthermore, the inner code on the bottle cap is different from any of the outer code on the bottle body, the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, or the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging carton. The QR code and barcode are used for scanning and identification by consumers and retailers, while RFID is used for automatic identification by radio frequency identifiers when wineries enter and leave warehouses (including winery warehouses and retailer warehouses), and for recording logistics information. In this embodiment, a QR code is set on the inside of the bottle cap, and a QR code and barcode are set on the outside of the bottle. A QR code and barcode are also set on the packaging box, and a QR code and barcode are printed on the packaging carton and RFID is affixed. The content of each code is different. When the product leaves the warehouse, each carton of products is generally automatically identified by radio frequency. The information of the box packaging and bottle packaging in each carton has been registered in the database, so the flow of each bottle of wine is recorded, and the automation capability and accuracy of logistics information registration can be improved.

[0030] Preferably, the inner code of the bottle cap is generated by the wine bottling certification module and transmitted to the database and back-end management module, or it is generated by the database and back-end management module and transmitted to the wine bottling certification module for coding (such as engraving or etching).

[0031] Preferably, the bottle cap code in this embodiment includes a QR code that is only visible after the cap is opened. To ordinary users, the QR code is just some numbers or characters, and its actual meaning is only clear to the system database and the backend management module.

[0032] Preferably, the logistics registration module includes an automatic information verification unit for inbound and outbound packaging. This automatic information verification includes sampling or random scanning of the packaging box image recognition code and comparing it with the radio frequency identification (RFID) anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box. If the verification fails, an error message is displayed. This embodiment designs the information verification process to improve the probability of timely detection of errors in the automatic RFID scanning identification of wine products entering and leaving the warehouse. Compared to the commonly used method of verifying the total number of boxes entering and leaving the warehouse, this method is more convenient and easier to identify specific problems with automatic RFID scanning identification. This design simply supplements the commonly used method with a more intelligent method that is easier to detect missing or misidentified packaging boxes. Furthermore, verifying the total number of boxes entering and leaving the warehouse is not foolproof. Preferably, the code inside the bottle cap includes a random code and / or an encryption code; it can also be a systematic code, but the coding pattern needs to be kept confidential. The encryption code can be randomly generated, or a portion of the code can be randomly generated (the remaining part generated by the systematic code), or it can be compiled by the system designer according to a certain pattern and then encrypted. It can also contain information such as brewing time, bottling time, wine quality, and place of origin. When consumers scan the code inside the bottle cap, they can directly obtain the wine's production time information and compare it with the production time information on the outer packaging, which is also a method of verifying authenticity. The use of encryption mainly increases the difficulty of copying and counterfeiting. Counterfeiters cannot obtain its true information without going through official wine channels, but once the code is scanned through official channels, the system will automatically consider the product to have been consumed. Current anti-counterfeiting technologies generally consider this encryption to be ineffective against image copying and therefore generally do not use it. However, this application, due to the availability of complete wine logistics information, makes the encryption design meaningful. For example, the encryption design may contain hidden information about the surrounding environment besides the encryption code, such as hidden features on the bottle cap, or the need to temporarily add online scanning of a certain part of the bottle and / or packaging box, etc. Counterfeiters and copyers are unaware of this, and simply copying the QR code is actually ineffective. The encryption code can be randomly generated or a portion of the code can be randomly generated (the remaining part can be generated by regular coding), or the system designer can create the code according to certain rules and then encrypt it.

[0033] Preferably, the circulation process information also includes several items such as the intermediary's name, transportation method, and quantity of goods in the same batch.

[0034] To better manage logistics information, the information collection system automatically completes the initial logistics flow information for wine products upon warehousing and leaving the factory. For example, RFID readers automatically collect and register the anti-counterfeiting codes of wine products entering and leaving the warehouse. At the same time, through mandatory or incentive measures, retailers are required to fill in logistics information by scanning codes with their mobile phones or using RFID readers for each flow, supplementing the logistics information in the database and back-end management module. Finally, retailers mark the case or bottle of wine as sold by scanning the anti-counterfeiting code on the packaging box, or by scanning the code on the packaging box directly, and upload the information to the database and back-end management module to complete the sales information registration. Customers are encouraged (e.g., with cashback) to scan the code inside the bottle cap when consuming the wine to verify its authenticity. As long as a customer scans the code, it indicates that the wine has been opened and marked as opened or redeemed. If duplicate scanning, copied anti-counterfeiting codes, or counterfeit anti-counterfeiting codes are detected, the system can prompt consumers to take measures. Regarding methods for judging the authenticity of wine when drinking, if the copied anti-counterfeiting code has been marked with opening information by the system, or if the system finds obvious discrepancies between the logistics information and the scanning address, or if the scanning result does not match the database (problem with counterfeit anti-counterfeiting codes), it can indicate that the authenticity of the wine is questionable.

[0035] Preferably, the bottle-opening authentication includes scanning the code inside the bottle cap to directly enter the backend authentication process. If the connection to the database and backend management module fails (e.g., network outage), the authentication cannot be performed, and the user is displayed with messages such as "Network outage, re-authenticate" or "Authentication failed, re-authenticate required." Consumers can check their network connectivity and re-authenticate as needed. If the authentication is successful, the system indicates that the product is genuine, and the code is marked as "authenticated," "opened," or "redeemed" in the backend, reminding the user that if the above message appears when scanning a new bottle, it indicates that the product may be counterfeit or a duplicate scan. If the authentication fails, the system directly indicates that the authentication has failed, such as "This product has been authenticated" or "This product does not exist." During the scanning authentication, the system simultaneously provides the customer with the corresponding logistics and sales information for the product. If the customer finds any discrepancies, they can report them through the system.

[0036] The opening operation is irreversible. While it's possible that genuine liquor might be consumed privately without scanning the code on the bottle cap, and then counterfeit liquor is added and resealed (the inner and outer codes on the bottle cap match those of a genuine bottle cap that hasn't been scanned), this is a very rare case and cannot be mass-produced. The system compares the authentication code displayed when the consumer scans the code with the location information (origin of the network information) stored in the system's logistics records. This reminds consumers that if they purchased the goods themselves, there is a risk of counterfeiting. Furthermore, the system compares the seller information provided by the consumer with the seller information registered in the logistics records. If there are discrepancies, the final seller registered in the system will be directly traced. This application, by acquiring information on the entire liquor logistics process, can provide information support for finding, identifying, and combating counterfeit activities.

[0037] Theoretically, the above measures are insufficient to completely prevent or quickly detect counterfeiting, especially since without an internal radio frequency module in the bottle cap, it is still possible to completely copy the internal code of the bottle cap during distribution and before sale, and to borrow or copy the external code of the bottle, the anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging box, and the anti-counterfeiting code of the packaging carton. This is an exception in this application. First, such counterfeiting always involves intermediaries or distributors, limiting the scope of suspicion; second, such counterfeiting is costly, and very few people would engage in it without high profit returns. Of course, if an automatic networked radio frequency module is also installed inside the bottle cap, the cost of counterfeiting will be even higher (see Example 3, but even then, it cannot theoretically achieve 100% anti-counterfeiting).

[0038] Example 2 The difference from Example 1 is that the packaging boxes and cartons in this example simultaneously include QR codes, barcodes, and RFID, and have the function of automatic identification and comparison of both radio frequency and image when entering and leaving the warehouse. By comparing the RFID automatic radio frequency identification results of the box packaging with the identification results of the carton packaging, and comparing them with the original data of the packaging in the database, problems can be found and the accuracy of logistics information registration can be ensured.

[0039] Example 3 The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the internal code on the bottle cap in this embodiment includes a QR code visible only after the cap is opened and an RFID code automatically emitted upon opening. The RFID code is automatically activated and emitted by an RFID module embedded inside the bottle cap when the cap is rotated open or after opening. It connects to the database and backend management module via a wireless signal, such as a 5G signal. That is, the RFID module is embedded inside the bottle cap during sealing. The RFID module is a temporary trigger module, including a power supply unit and an RFID transmitting circuit. The signal emitted by the RFID transmitting circuit is a 5G network connection signal and the RFID code corresponding to the wine. The RFID (Radio Frequency Identifier) ​​can be identical to a QR code. Upon receiving this signal, the database and backend management module automatically identifies and marks the bottle as having been opened and consumed. If no sales information is found, the system issues an error message. The power supply module includes a micro battery or capacitor, storing enough power to power the transmitting circuit for more than 5 minutes continuously; generally, only short-term power is needed. Specifically, this application embeds the RFID module in the top of the bottle cap, employing a cap rotation-based power-on design that breaks the circuit when tightened and short-circuits when loosened. Alternatively, a pressure-based power-on design can be used, breaking the circuit when pressed and short-circuiting when loosened. The RFID module design primarily aims to prevent one-to-one image copying forgery. This design is only meaningful for high-end wines; for mid-to-low-end wines, one-to-one copying and forgery is too costly and almost impossible.

[0040] Example 4 The difference from Example 1 is that the bottle cap code in this example includes several items from the following: product number, wine quality information, place of origin information, winery information, packaging time information, and wine brewing year information. This information can be displayed to consumers after scanning, making it easy for them to compare with the information on the packaging box, packaging box, or bottle. However, the encrypted or random code part of the bottle cap code is still not visible to consumers. Only the backend administrator can see it with authorized access, and it cannot be modified. In principle, the bottle cap codes of all wines on sale are different and unique. That is to say, the bottle cap codes of consumed wines are not included in the comparison range and can be reused. However, in actual applications, because the code length is sufficient, there will be no duplication within a sufficiently long period of time, such as 1000 years, and the encrypted or random code part of the bottle cap code will not be repeated.

[0041] The wine logistics information acquisition system designed in this invention is mainly aimed at the urgent need of wineries to eliminate counterfeit and substandard products. The system is designed to obtain complete wine logistics information, thereby providing the basic conditions for eliminating counterfeit and substandard products. The remaining issue is management, which is not the focus of this invention. However, for the sake of completeness, the embodiments of this invention also provide relevant suggestions and measures. If all levels of sales (including intermediaries) are required to strictly implement logistics registration measures (select the "Sales Logistics Registration" option online), the higher-level logistics has the right to require lower-level logistics or intermediaries to strictly fulfill registration procedures, and any violations will be punished; it is recommended that customers scan the code on-site to confirm whether the logistics information is complete, and select a similar "Customer Inspection" option online. The system will automatically handle incomplete information events. Customers can scan at least one of the box packaging code, carton packaging code, or bottle code on-site to obtain the complete logistics information of the corresponding product in real time. If the logistics information is incomplete, they can refuse to buy, return the goods, or report the incident to the police. If no abnormality is found, this information is also convenient for later traceability; it is recommended that customers scan the code inside the bottle cap to identify authenticity when opening the bottle for drinking. The scanning should be done using the official WeChat account. If there is any abnormality, the system will automatically identify and handle it (such as checking all logistics information to find the problem link or reporting the incident to the police), and remind users to preserve evidence (such as physical preservation, purchase voucher preservation, etc.).

[0042] The above description is only a partial, relatively comprehensive embodiment of the wine logistics full-process information acquisition system of the present invention. In fact, there are many preferred options for the specific system construction, including combinations of different embodiments, combinations of preferred solutions, etc., such as combinations of anti-counterfeiting code setting methods, different association methods of each anti-counterfeiting code, different module divisions, etc. These combinations or preferred solutions should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention, and will not be listed one by one here.
