Definitions

• the following invention consists of a system that, through computer means, achieves the identification without error of a certain unit of any product that carries this system, in addition to being able to verify its identity and have a perfect traceability of the product, and therefore it is a tool in the fight against counterfeiting and smuggling.
• This system gives the possibility of converting an unlimited number of people or users throughout the world into quality, truthfulness and authenticity inspectors of each unit of consumable product.
• This invention has its field of application within the textile industry, of hygiene and beauty products, food, beverages, tobacco companies and in general to any type of industry that involves the production of product units, and especially to the industry of high-end or exclusive products.
• stamps contain coded information that officers and other personnel can read through the use of optical readers, which allows officers to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit tax stamps, even the most elaborate ones. You can also highlight the barcode that is familiar for the purchase of various products and you can track merchandise in transit. Finishing with other systems such as those that carry British American Tobacco (BAT) products, which include taggant on the self-adhesive belt that serves to open the container, being the taggant is a chemical that is added to the ink and that an optical reader You can register, being able to say if a product is genuine or counterfeit using a manual optical reader that registers the self-adhesive headband.

• QR codes Quick response barcode, “quick response barcode”
• QR codes are very common in Japan, and little by little in the rest of the world, and in fact they are becoming the most popular and widely used two-dimensional code globally.
• QR codes can also be read from PC, smartphone or tablet using image capture devices, such as a scanner or photo camera, programs that read QR data and an Internet connection for web addresses.
• image capture devices such as a scanner or photo camera
• the invention object of this patent is formed by a series of processes and steps, which allow to identify and verify a product anywhere in the world, at the exact moment that is desired, through computer devices, being able to detect the veracity of the same and if it has been issued by the manufacturer's signature or it is a forgery, however good it could be.
• Contributing and improving these advances previously said because they not only have an encrypted code that the operator can verify if it is correct or not, but this verification can be done remotely thanks to a restricted system of users, at any point in the world and updating the database in the same moment in which the encrypted code is read.
• the invention object of this patent is formed by a series of processes and steps, which allow to identify and verify a product anywhere in the world, at the exact moment desired, through computer devices, being able to detect the truthfulness and traceability of the product. same and if it has been issued by the manufacturer's signature or it is a forgery, however good this may be.
• the process begins with the creation of a restricted online database, in which the products are introduced with all the information that the manufacturer may want to offer about each product unit, whatever, in order to be able to verify its authenticity later.
• a unique alphanumeric identifier is also assigned to each product unit, therefore, in order to be able to have a perfect traceability of the product, the more data is put into the database, the more control of the product can be had in the future.
• codes can be correlative or not, but data will never be duplicated since there will never be a duplicate code.
• a QR code is generated, which contains the unique identifier of the product unit, presented with a unidirectional computer encryption with a key.
• the product will have in an encrypted way the encrypted unique identification code assigned to the product that will allow identifying information, such as not only the brand name, but the product lot, the specific serial number, the time at which it was manufactured, the operator who manufactured it, the factory or delegation that manufactured it, and any data that the manufacturer considers appropriate. As stated, this information will be encrypted, therefore, it will not be accessible to the general public, unless the relevant authorization is given.
• the next step would be to mark each of the products that you want to identify, therefore you would proceed to the printing, stamping or labeling of the security QR code in each product unit with its unique identification code.
• This stamping depending on the product, can be executed on the labels in the case of the textile industry, for example, in the box in the tobacco shop and thus where the manufacturer or the Regulatory Body of the sector deems most appropriate.
• QR code As mentioned in the background, through multiple existing devices in the market such as table scanners, mobile devices such as smartphones, digital tablets, etc., you could read this QR code that goes into each of the products.
• the particularity of using the QR code is not only to show truthfulness information or not, but is to give the possibility to contact the product online with the database.
• the system will verify the authenticity of the QR code read, thus guaranteeing the authenticity of the product to whom you want to scan that code.
• the data of each authenticity request is recorded in the central computer system.
• the system will be able to offer extra information about that product, such as physical details of it, manufacturing, marketing and distribution traceability.
• the process begins with the creation of a database (1) in which the products are introduced with all the information that the manufacturer may want to offer about each product unit, whatever, in order to verify a posteriori its authenticity.
• This database also assigns a Alphanumeric identifier unique to each product unit, therefore, in order to have a perfect traceability of the product, the more data you put in the database, the more control of the product you can have in the future.
• codes can be correlative or not, but data will never be duplicated since there will never be a duplicate code.
• a QR code (2) is generated, which contains the unique identifier of the product unit, presented with a unidirectional computer encryption with a key, that is , which can be compared but cannot be modified or viewed in reverse.
• the product will have in an encrypted way the encrypted unique identification code assigned to the product that will allow identifying information, such as not only the brand name, but the product lot, the specific serial number, the time at which it was manufactured, the operator who manufactured it, the factory or delegation that manufactured it, and any data that the manufacturer considers appropriate. As stated, this information will be encrypted, therefore, it will not be accessible to the general public, unless the relevant authorization is given.
• the next step would be to mark each of the products (3) that you wish to identify, therefore, the security QR code would be printed, stamped or labeled on each product unit with its unique identification code.
• This stamping depending on the product, can be executed on the labels in the case of the textile industry, for example, in the box at the tobacco shop and thus where the manufacturer or the Regulatory Body of the sector is considered more appropriate.
• QR code is therefore a tool to be able to contact the product and the user with the database online.
• the system will verify the authenticity (5) of the QR code read, thus guaranteeing the authenticity of the product to whom you wish to scan that code
• a restricted access system (6) of registered users and with a permit scale, the system gives access to extra information about that product, such as physical details of it, manufacturing, marketing and distribution traceability.
• the data of each authenticity request is recorded in the central computer system. This results in the comparison and consultation (9) between the data in the database and decryption, that is, the database (1) and the restricted user system (6) are related.
• the manufacturer's verification statistics (7) can be accessed by the manufacturer with IP geolocation.
