JP7268295B2 - MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT METHOD AND IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION DETECTION DEVICE - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a management system, a management method, and an individual identification information detection device.

Conventionally, there is known a genuine product sales information management system that finds non-genuine products with properties such as characters and brands (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
The genuine product sales information management system described in Patent Document 1 is a genuine product sales information management system having a server and a terminal device. contains identification information that uniquely identifies the product and information that identifies the server. When a product purchaser sends information about the product, including identification information, to the server via a terminal device, the server compares the received identification information with the identification information registered in the product information database to determine whether the product is genuine. Determine whether or not there is

In the technique described in Patent Document 1, both the JAN code (licensee code) and the random number (conventional label printing method) are read when purchasing the product. Authenticity determination and genuine product sales information management are performed by collating pre-registered product information with random numbers.
Patent Literature 1 describes that not only the suitability of identification information but also the suitability of a JAN code attached to a product may be taken into consideration in determining whether the product is genuine.
By the way, with the technique described in Patent Document 1, although it is possible to find non-genuine products, it is not possible to identify fraudulent applications for campaigns in which a lottery is conducted. Therefore, according to the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is not possible to avoid outputting the winning result of the campaign to a person who illegally obtains the individual identification information of the product.

Currently, as campaigns, lottery, point awarding, all winners, etc. are being carried out. In particular, web campaigns, in which a user's smartphone is used to read a unique QR code (registered trademark), and a winning determination and point management are performed on a server, are becoming mainstream.
In web campaigns, the unique QR code is covered with double layer labels, scratch printing, etc. to prevent the unique QR code from being snooped and fraudulently signed up.
By the way, the method of covering the unique QR code is not widely used except for mass-sold products such as beverages and alcoholic beverages, because the cost of the label substrate, scratch printing, etc. is high. In addition, with this method, it is not possible to avoid outputting the winning result of the campaign to a person who illegally obtains the individual identification information of the product. Specifically, it is not possible to discriminate between a valid application from a user who legitimately purchased a product and an unauthorized application from a person who, for example, snooped on the code of an unsold product.

The analog campaign, in which the barcode printed on the paper container is cut out and pasted on a postcard, has been used to a certain extent.
By the way, in this method, the user has to spend time and money for mailing the postcard, and the campaign implementer also incurs costs for managing the personal information written on the postcard. Moreover, in this method, similarly to the method described above, it is not possible to avoid outputting the winning results of the campaign to a person who illegally obtains the individual identification information of the product.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, embodiments of a management system, a management method, and an individual identification information detection device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

<First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an example of the management system 1 of the first embodiment.
In the example shown in FIG. 1, the management system 1 includes a POS (Point Of Sale) register 11, an imaging device 12, a server 13, and a user terminal .
The POS register 11 is a terminal device that performs accounting processing for products at a store, and has a function of executing predetermined settlement processing (POS processing). The POS register 11 includes a JAN (Japanese Article Number) code reader section 11A, a POS processing section 11B, and a communication section 11C.
The JAN code reader unit 11A reads the JAN code attached to the product sold to the user at the store. The JAN code reader unit 11A is also called a "barcode reader" or a "barcode scanner". The JAN code reader unit 11A may read the JAN code in response to the operation of the store clerk, or may read the JAN code in response to the operation of the user who purchases the product, such as in the case of an unmanned cash register.
In the example shown in FIG. 1, the JAN code reader unit 11A reads the JAN code attached to the product sold to the user at the store. A one-dimensional code (eg, CODE39, CODE128, NW-7, etc.) other than the JAN code attached to the product to be sold may be read.

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the POS processing section 11B executes POS processing based on the JAN code information read by the JAN code reader section 11A. By executing the POS processing by the POS processing unit 11B, the product to which the JAN code read by the JAN code reader unit 11A is attached becomes "the product that the user legally purchased at the store".
11 C of communication parts communicate with the imaging device 12 via networks, such as LAN(Local Area Network), for example. The communication unit 11C, for example, transmits information of the JAN code read by the JAN code reader unit 11A (for example, a text file, a CSV (comma-separated values) file, etc.) to the imaging device 12 .

In the example shown in FIG. 1, the imaging device 12 takes an image of the product after the JAN code is read by the JAN code reader section 11A. The imaging device 12 includes a camera section 12A, a processing section 12B, and a communication section 12C.
After the JAN code is read by the JAN code reader section 11A, the camera section 12A takes an image of the JAN code. Even if the camera unit 12A captures the image of the JAN code according to the operation of the store clerk, the camera unit 12A captures the image of the JAN code according to the operation of the user who purchases the product, as in the case of an unmanned cash register. may

Specifically, FIG. 2A is a perspective view of a product to which a JAN code is attached. 2(B) and 2(C) are enlarged views of the JAN code attached to the product. Specifically, FIG. 2(B) shows an example in which the JAN code attached to the product has a large print fluctuation, and FIG. 2(C) shows an example in which the print fluctuation of the JAN code attached to the product is small. there is
Usually, the same 13-digit or 8-digit JAN code number is assigned to products of the same type. Therefore, depending on the JAN code number, it is not possible to identify each of a plurality of products of the same type. On the other hand, the inventors of the present invention have conducted intensive research that it is possible to identify each of a plurality of products of the same type by using slight individual differences due to the printing of the JAN code attached to the product (individual identification by image authentication technology). confirmed in
