Alcoholic-product verification system

Abstract

An alcoholic-product verification system, comprising: a bottle (1), and a digital-link quick-response code (11), a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag (12), and a near-field communication (NFC) chip (121) with an alcoholic-product number (121A), which are provided on the bottle (1). The digital-link quick-response code (11) is read to link with alcoholic-product number data in a remote server (2), and the RFID tag (12) and the NFC chip (121) with the alcoholic-product number (121A) are read to acquire the alcoholic-product number (121A), such that the alcoholic-product number (121A) is provided for being compared with the alcoholic-product number data in the remote server (2), so as to determine whether the alcoholic-product number (121A) matches the alcoholic-product number data, thereby verifying and confirming the authenticity of the alcoholic product. Furthermore, alcoholic-product information can be learned of on the basis of the data carried by the remote server (2).

Description

Wine Verification System Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a detection system, and more particularly to a system for detecting and verifying the authenticity of wine. Background Art

[0002] A simple sip of wine cultivates the soul and refines the spirit. Many people have a deep cultural appreciation for wine tasting, and therefore place great importance on the vintage, distillery, and quality of various wines, especially expensive classics. Driven by profit, many unscrupulous individuals counterfeit or forge wines to profit from them. Therefore, the integrity of the wine is paramount.

[0003] Taiwan's invention patent No. I314292, "Device for Detecting Bottle Seal Status with a Wireless Identification Tag," was previously filed. As described in its specification, the device utilizes a tear created when the bottle cap is rotated. A conductive material is passed through the upper, middle, and lower portions of the bottle cap, connecting to the wireless identification tag. The conductive material is initially in a conductive state, encoded as a conductive code. The tear causes the conductive state to transition to a disconnected state, encoded as a disconnected code. The conductive and disconnected codes are transmitted to a wireless identification reader via the wireless identification tag, enabling the device to detect whether the rotating bottle cap has been opened and the degree of opening. However, the patent only addresses the issue of "opening," leaving room for improvement in determining the authenticity of wine. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the problems of the prior art, the inventors believe that there should be a wine authentication system, including a wine bottle, which is provided with a digital link QR code and a wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, the wireless radio frequency identification tag carrying a near field communication (NFC) chip, and the near field communication (NFC) chip carrying the wine number; a remote server, including a plurality of wine number data, at least one of which can be matched with the wine number; a website reading unit, which can be used to read the digital link QR code, and the website reading unit is provided with a networking device for linking to the wine number data in the remote server, and the website reading unit is connected to a web page presentation window to present the wine number data; a wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) reader, the wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) reader is connected to a near field communication (NFC) reader, can read the wine number carried in the near field communication (NFC) chip, and can provide a comparison with the wine number data in the remote server to determine whether it matches. The present invention utilizes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag and an embedded near-field communication (NFC) chip, which contains a wine serial number. The RFID reader and the linked NFC reader can read the wine serial number stored in the NFC chip and compare it with the wine serial number stored in a remote server to verify the authenticity of the wine. Furthermore, the data stored in the remote server can be used to understand wine information (such as, but not limited to, a wine history system). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] Referring to FIG. 1 , the present invention relates to a wine authentication system, comprising:

[0023] A wine bottle 1 is provided with a digital link QR code 11 and a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag 12. The radio frequency identification (RFID) tag 12 carries a near field communication (NFC) chip 121. The NFC chip 121 carries a wine serial number 121A.

[0024] A remote server 2, comprising a plurality of wine product number data 21, wherein at least one wine product number data 21A can be matched with the wine product number 121A;

[0025] a website address reading unit 3, the website address reading unit 3 being configured to read the digital link QR code 11, and the website address reading unit 3 being provided with a networking device 31 for connecting to the wine product number data 21 in the remote server 2, and the website address reading unit 3 being connected to a web page presentation window 32 for presenting the wine product number data 21;

[0026] A radio frequency identification (RFID) reader 4 is connected to a near field communication (NFC) reader 5 to read the wine serial number 121A contained in the near field communication (NFC) chip 121 and provide a comparison with the wine serial number data 21 in the remote server 2 to determine whether it matches.

[0027] The URL reading unit 3 and the radio frequency identification (RFID) reader 4 can be installed in a mobile phone.

[0028] The system operation method of the present invention first scans the digital link QR code 11 of the wine bottle 1 with the URL reading unit 3. In one embodiment, the URL reading unit 3 can be installed in a mobile phone. After scanning, the URL reading unit 3 includes a network device 31. Therefore, the wine product number data 21 stored in the remote server 2 is displayed in the webpage presentation window 32 (e.g., a mobile phone page) (as shown in the third figure), and the wine product number data 21 is displayed.

[0029] Then, the present invention uses the RFID reader 4 and the linked NFC reader 5 to read the wine serial number 121A contained in the NFC chip 121 of the wine bottle 1 and provide a comparison with the wine serial number data 21 in the remote server 2 to determine whether it matches (as shown in the second figure). For example, the hash value translated from the read RFID serial number is checked.

[0030] At this point, the authenticity of the wine can be verified and confirmed. The wine information (such as but not limited to the wine history system) can also be understood from the data contained in the remote server 2.
