Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing seal anti-counterfeiting marks with a second encryption area reduce the data capacity in the first encryption area, limiting the complexity of encrypted information.
Innovation Solution
A ring code system with an anti-counterfeiting code that fills a ring encryption area, allowing for multiple encrypted patterns and indicators to enhance data capacity and security, including bar codes and quick response codes, and repeated codes for redundancy.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If a second encryption area is added to identify the first encryption area, then identification difficulty is reduced and rapid positioning is facilitated, but data capacity in the first encryption area is reduced, limiting complexity of encrypted information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the identification function and data storage function into a single ring encryption area. The anti-counterfeiting code is embedded within the same ring structure that contains the encrypted information, eliminating the need for a separate second encryption area while maintaining both identification and data capacity functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The ring encryption area is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as both the data storage area and the identification area. The anti-counterfeiting code within the ring structure enables rapid positioning and authentication without sacrificing data capacity, making the seal verification process more efficient.
2Quantity of substance
If multiple encrypted patterns are used to enhance data capacity, then complexity of encrypted information is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs nested encryption patterns where multiple encrypted patterns are arranged concentrically within the ring structure. Different patterns (such as barcodes, QR codes, or other encrypted formats) are nested at different radial positions or layers, allowing high data capacity while maintaining a unified ring structure that does not significantly increase overall complexity.

AI summary
The present invention involves a ring code, an encoding method, a method for identifying the ring code, an application method of the ring code, a seal and an electronic file of the seal, wherein contents recorded in the ring code correspond to a electronic file containing the electronic seal or the digital seal, and contents of different electronic files correspond to different ring codes; the ring code comprises an anti-counterfeiting code and a ring encryption area, and the anti-counterfeiting code fills the ring encryption area; an encoding method comprises acquiring data to be encoded, converting the data to be encoded into the anti-counterfeiting code, and filling the anti-counterfeiting code in the ring encryption area; and a method for identifying the ring code comprises acquiring a starting position of the anti-counterfeiting code, segmenting the anti-counterfeiting code from the starting position and expanding the anti-counterfeiting code to form a bar code, and scanning the bar code to obtain data coded. The anti-counterfeiting code is 360 degrees around the ring encryption area, which is uniform and beautiful; therefore overall visual effect is more unified with the traditional seal, which makes the ring code more secure and difficult to crack.
