Description

TITLE: ACCESS SYSTEM FOR PRODUCT INFORMATIONFIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present Invention relates generally to an access system for product information, and in particular but not exclusively to machine- readable identifiers for use on products such as in the healthcare, disinfectant, skincare and food industry. BACKGROUND

[0002] Machine-readable identifiers, such as quick response (QR) codes, maxicodes, data matrix codes, near-field communication (NFC) tags, snaptags, bluetooth beacons etc. are well-established in various industries to provide quick and easy access to product information. They work by encoding data into a unique visual representation that can be read by an optical scanner or a device with a camera and decoding software. Some key areas where machine-readable identifiers are utilised include the healthcare, skincare and food industries.

[0003] In the healthcare industry, machine-readable identifiers have been used for a variety of purposes, including patient identification, medication administration and tracking of medical equipment. They have also been used to provide patients with information about their medication and treatment, making it easier for them to understand their condition and manage their own health.

[0004] In the skincare and food industries, machine-readable identifiers have been used for inventory management, tracking products through the supply chain and providing consumers with information about the products they are purchasing, such as ingredients, directions for uses and any potential side effects.

[0005] Known patents and technical literature related to the use of machine-readable identifiers in the healthcare, skincare and food industries include the following: international patent application no. PCT / US2014 / 045807, U.S. patent application no. 17 / 614,485, U.S. patent application no. 16 / 447,107, South Korean patent application no.20210006846, and the article titled ‘Mobile Recommendation System for Cosmeceutical Products’ by Ching-Sheng Hsu and Shu-Pen Tu', published in the 2015 Seventh International Conference on Ubiquitous and Future Networks (ICUFN 2015). Each of these documents is discussed briefly below.

[0006] International patent application no. PCT / US2014 / 045807, titled "Consumer information systems for consumables and cosmetic substances,” describes a system for tracking and communicating changes in efficacy values of consumables and cosmetic substances through the use of marking systems such as QR barcodes. This is achieved by collecting, storing and transmitting information regarding the changes in efficacy values of the consumables and cosmetic substances, and information related to the origin and creation of the consumables and cosmetic substances, including all phases of preservation, transformation, dispensing and consumption.

[0007] U.S. patent application no. 17 / 614,485, titled “Method and system for personalizing and standardizing cannabis, psychedelic and bioactive products,” describes a computer-implemented method for generating a bioactive product recommendation to allow a consumer to interpolate and predict which cannabis formulations will provide a predictable and certifiable effect for that individual customer. This is achieved by collecting personal data and subjective outcome data from increasingly large samples of cannabis consumers and using bioinformatics and machine learning to analyse patterns from a large number of inputs to create a self-correcting expanding Knowledge Graph database wherebyusers can share personalisation’s in like-outcome cohorts to enable leveraging of an expanded range of analysis methods.

[0008] U.S. patent application no. 16 / 447,107 titled “System and method for making personalized individual unit doses containing pharmaceutical actives,” is concerned with systems and methods for implementing a scannable code technology, such as a barcode, on a personalised individual unit dose (IUD) to provide appropriate information and instructions for each packaged IUD. This information is described to include data that relates to the individual, such as the individual’s name, IUD manufacturer, drug name, labelled amount, frequency of medication (e.g. one a day, twice daily, once weekly etc.), and when-to-take information (e.g. before or after a meal, dosage etc,).

[0009] South Korean patent application no. 20210006846, titled“System and method for standardizing medical products using identification code,” is concerned with a method and system for standardising atypical products such as quasi-drugs and medical devices in the medical industry through a normalization process using an identification code such as a barcode or QR code.

[0010] The article titled ‘Mobile Recommendation System for Cosmeceutical Products’ by Ching-Sheng Hsu and Shu-Fen Tu, describes a system for providing an ingredient retrieval and recommendation system for cosmeceutical products using two-dimensional (2D) barcodes.

[0011] Many prior art technologies and / or techniques however are limited to providing only basic information, and often in an inconvenient manner, and fall short of providing the necessary detail required to enable a consumer to gain immediate confidence in the safety and efficacy of a product. This lack of transparency can lead to confusion and mistrust among consumers. Furthermore, without convenient and prompt access to updatedtest reports and efficacy results, consumers may remain unaware of potential risks associated with using a product. This can increase the likelihood of harm to users, particularly those with allergies or specific dietary requirements.

[0012] Further, many prior art technologies and / or techniques offer results that are easily downloadable to the user, which can present security issues that may need to be taken into consideration when developing, implementing and maintaining systems to protect users and ensure the integrity of information provided. One such issue is phishing, where scammers can create fake websites that look similar to legitimate websites and use them to trick users into providing personal or sensitive information. Another issue is malware, where downloadable information linked to machine-readable code may contain viruses that can infect a user’s device and steal personal information or cause other harm. Additionally, there are risks of misinformation, where downloadable information linked to a QR barcode may contain false or misleading information which can be harmful to a user’s health.

[0013] Moreover, methods by which many of these technologies and / or techniques present their results are often not user-friendly and can make it difficult for users to identify what they are searching for, leading to frustration, increased time spent trying to locate particular information, and ultimately, decreased user satisfaction. Prior art techniques can also make it difficult for product information to be updated in view of changes in testing and efficacy values, such as presenting results as, for example, interactive PDFs, online forms, websites, and online databases etc., which can involve updating multiple records / files to ensure that data remains accurate and consistent. In many circumstances, this can be time-consuming and require specialised knowledge and technical expertise.

[0014] Compatibility is also a concern with many of these technologies and / or techniques, whereby the accessibility of stored information may be limited to certain browsers or devices.

[0015] There is therefore a need for an improved access system for product information.

[0016] Discussion of the prior art in this specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of the common general knowledge in the field.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0048] The present invention relates to a system for providing access to relevant product information. Elements of the invention are illustrated in concise outline form in the drawings, showing only those specific details that are necessary to understanding the embodiments of the present invention, but so as not to clutter the disclosure with excessive detail that will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art in light of the present description.

[0049] In this patent specification, references to terms such as machine- readable identifier, two-dimensional code, QR code or QR barcode should not be limited to just that particular terminology. These terms may be used interchangeably, with any reference to one term being applicable to the other terms as well. Also, terms such as "comprise”, “comprises”, “comprising” or other similar terms are intended to mean a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a system or method that comprises a list of elements does not include those elements solely but may well include other elements not listed.

[0050] According to one aspect, the present invention is defined as a system for providing access to relevant product information, the system comprising: a product; a machine-readable identifier applied to the product, the machine- readable identifier comprising encoded data operatively linked to a target location; and a scanning device having a graphical user interface for reading the encoded data and accessing the target location, the scanning device configured to direct a user to a display module location of the target location for displaying relevant information about the product; wherein the relevant information is arranged on the display module in a series of one or more selectable multimedia elements that, upon selection, expand to reveal additional information associated with the selected series element.

[0051] Various embodiments of the present invention can offer advantages that provide an effective solution for various industries, particularly those in the healthcare, disinfectant, skincare and food sectors.

[0052] One advantage of some embodiments concerns transparency.By scanning a machine-readable identifier such as a QR barcode, consumers can easily access information such as relevant test reports, efficacy and safety proof of a product, which can help build trust and confidence in a product and its brand. For example, a healthcare, disinfectant, skincare or food product with a QR barcode can lead users to product specifications that include detailed information about ingredients used and their concentrations, and regulatory approvals. It can also lead users to efficacy results from clinical trials, giving insight into relevant phase testing processes the product underwent. This can benefit the consumer by helping ensuring that the products they are buying are safe, effective and meet industry standards, and can also reduce the risk of adverse reactionsor product recalls, Increasing the chances of repeat customers. Further, the availability of such information can be particularly helpful to those with allergies or dietary restrictions, allowing them to easily review nutritional facts, allergen warnings and necessary precautions.

[0053] Another advantage of some embodiments concerns convenience. By scanning a machine-readable identifier with a device such as a smart phone or other mobile device having a camera, users can quickly and easily access important product information without the need to manually search for it on the internet or in printed materials. Also, by having all relevant information displayed in one place that is both easily accessible and engaging, it becomes easier for users to compare the effectiveness of products and make more informed decisions based on, for example, preferences regarding ethicality and sustainability. This can save time and effort of the user, as they no longer need to search through multiple websites or documents to find the relevant information.

[0054] Additionally , some embodiments of the present invention offer numerous features that can further enhance ease of navigation and user experience. This includes the ability to display relevant information in a series of one or more selectable multimedia elements. These elements can include, for example, images, documents and videos etc. that provide detailed information about a product, arranged on the display module in a matrix, table or carousel layout such that users can see all the elements at once, making it easier for them to navigate and find the information they desire. This can help make the information more engaging and therefore help users better understand the complex information which may be displayed. Another feature is the ability to search and sort the information based on certain criteria, allowing users to customise their experiences and find information that is most relevant to them quickly and easily. This can be especially useful for healthcare, disinfectant, skincare or food products, where the user may want to specifically search for information related toingredients and their benefits / effects. Further, by configuring the display module to show just one multimedia element that expands to reveal additional information upon selection, users can access a wealth of important clinical data with just a few clicks, rather than having to navigate through multiple pages or menus.

[0055] Some embodiments also help to ensure that users are receiving accurate and up-to-date information about a product they are purchasing. By providing a centralised location for all relevant information about the product, some embodiments can help eliminate confusion and misinformation that may arise from communicating important product information from multiple sources, making it easier for companies to be more compliant with regulations for products, particularly in the healthcare, disinfectant, skincare and food industries. More importantly however, some embodiments can help protect consumer health by making it easier for individuals to identify and avoid products that may contain specific ingredients or have potential adverse effects that could be hamiful or undesired to them. For example, if a new ingredient is added to a product or if a previous ingredient is removed, this information can be immediately updated on the media location identifiable by the machine-readable identifier code so that consumers are aware of these changes. Similarly, if new test results are available, they can be added to the media location identifiable by the machine-readable identifier so that consumers can see the latest research and any potential risks associated with using the product. This can be particularly beneficial to those who may have specific allergies or sensitivities.

[0056] Also, to provide consumers with added assurance, some embodiments of the present invention may implement a certification or accreditation system to enhance the credibility of information accessible via the QR code. That is, some embodiments may require that test reports and other product information is certified by reputable, independentorganisations such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), or through Conformity Européene (CE) markings. Such certification can be displayed in various ways, such as by showing a certification logo on a report, providing links to a certification report, displaying a certificate number, or displaying a statement of certification etc. By doing so, consumer confidence in the information provided may be heightened.

[0057] Further, some embodiments also offer an increased level of security by having the relevant product information viewable and not downloadable. This can prevent sensitive information, such as test reports, efficacy and safety records from being copied or shared without permission. For example, in the healthcare and disinfectant industry, test reports and safety records can often include confidential and proprietary information. Therefore, by making these documents viewable but not downloadable, manufacturers, sellers and regulators can help ensure that such information is better controlled and is not shared, tampered with or distributed without permission. This can help to protect a company’s intellectual property and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information. Additionally, it can help to prevent malicious activity, such as hacking or data breaches, as the information is not stored on the user’s device, which increases protection against cyber-attacks.

[0058] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that not all of the above advantages are necessarily included in all embodiments of the present invention.
