- Figure 3 is a diagram of an interferometric device for forming in its output plane a spatially modulated distribution of the radiation intensity of the working spectral range corresponding to the spatial distribution of the optical inhomogeneities of the optical mark according to the invention:
- Figure 4 is a diagram of a polarizing device for forming in its output plane a spatially modulated distribution of the radiation intensity of the working spectral range, corresponding to the spatial distribution of the optical inhomogeneities of the optical brand according to the invention:
- Figure 5 represents an embodiment of a coherent-optical device for forming in its output plane a spatially modulated distribution of the radiation intensity of the working spectral range corresponding to the spatial distribution of the optical inhomogeneities of the optical brand according to the invention:
- this information is contained in the amplitude-phase distribution of the wave field transmitted through these optical marks or reflected by them, and can easily be detected using known interferometric, coherent optical, polarizing and other optical devices, for example, shadow ones that form spatially in the observation plane modulated distribution of the radiation intensity of the working spectral range, corresponding to the spatial distribution of the optical indistinguishable by the eye optical brand according to the invention.
- this procedure “visualization” of the spatial distribution of brand parameters even if the working wavelength corresponds to the spectral range outside the visible range of the spectrum.
- This spatially modulated distribution of the radiation intensity can be read using widely used scanning devices, for example, photodetector arrays.
- the resulting signal can be represented in numerical form and used as the main personified product code.
- the named code is entered into the database of the manufacturer or supplier of the product (code owner).
- identifying the product When identifying the product, it is positioned relative to the reader, which contains an interferometric, coherent-optical, polarizing or other device for visualizing spatial indistinguishable by the eye at least one of the optical parameters of the optical brand.
- a visualized image in the form of a spatially modulated distribution of the radiation intensity is read by a scanning device, for example, an array photodetector, the received signal is presented numerically and via a communication network, for example, the Internet, sent to the code owner’s database, where the received signal is compared with that stored in the database main personalized product code. If they coincide from the database, they send a signal to the consumer about the successful authorization of the product via the same communication network.
- Automatic connection to the database is carried out with using an auxiliary optical, magnetic or electronic information carrier with a code carrying information about the address of the database of the owner of the main code and the product code.
- the optical marks according to the invention do not use clearly visible random structural patterns characterized by the presence of a number of characteristic and easily distinguishable fragments of a macroscopic scale, such as distinct spots, grainy inclusions of irregular shape, fibers, bubbles, etc.
- the indicated structural macrozones can be quite easily reproduced using widely used technologies, and copies of the structural patterns can be used for falsified labeling of counterfeit products.
- Another objective of the present invention - a significant reduction in the requirements for the volume of the database used in the recognition of fake products - is solved as follows:
- the main personalized product code is recoded using one of the coding functions stored in the database of the owner of the main code. The result is a secondary personalized code for the named product.
- the named secondary personified code of the product is entered into an auxiliary optical, magnetic or electronic storage medium incorporated into the product.
- the main personified product code is read according to the procedure of step l, the address of the encoding function is read from the auxiliary storage medium and this code is transmitted via communication networks to the code owner’s database, where the received main personalized code is transcoded by the requested encoding function, t .e. generation of a second personalized product code.
- This secondary personalized code is sent to the consumer via communication networks, where the received code is compared with the secondary personalized product code stored in the auxiliary storage medium incorporated therein. If the named secondary personalized codes do not match, the product is identified as a counterfeit product.
- the code owner’s database in this case does not contain any personalized data about each product sample, and the same coding function, as well as its address in the database, can be used for marking a large series of similar products and subsequent verification their authenticity.
- the secondary personalized code is generated by recoding the unique personalized code unique for each product sample, the carrier of which is an optical mark protected from falsification. In this case, the conversion is carried out by a function known only to the owner of the code. This provides a high degree of protection against counterfeiting of the product marked in accordance with the present invention with a significant reduction in the requirements for the volume of the database used in the recognition of counterfeit products.
- the method of optical marking of products according to the invention allows to determine the authenticity of products, i.e. compliance with their trademark, without personification of the product itself, which is sufficient to certify most products of mass demand.
- this marking method does not exclude the possibility personification of a particular product by comparing its main code read from the optical mark with the main code of the same product stored in the database, which is essential, for example, when conducting financial transactions using credit cards.
- a preliminary authentication of the object without its personification can be useful as an additional barrier to protect the database storing personalized data from hackers.
- an optical brand is selected from among objects made of a material whose refractive index or surface profile is spatially modulated according to a random law.
- the optical mark can be made of an isotropic optical material in the form of a transparent window, for example, a glass plate or a sheet of plastic. Note that the swirls and irregular undulations are always present in sheet materials, and their appearance is due to the influence of many factors that are difficult to control. Only in high-grade optical glass the number of stitches is normalized and is reflected in the respective catalogs of manufacturers. As for the mass production of transparent materials, they inevitably contain a large number of optical inhomogeneities, most of which are indistinguishable by the eye.
- Examples of products with optical marking can serve as identification plastic cards (Fig. 1) and labels of various goods with an incorporated window, isolated fragments of glass and commercial plastic containers and other products from these materials.
- the selected optical brand is positioned in an optical device visualizing a random spatial distribution of the optical heterogeneities of the brand.
- an interferometer Fig. 3
- a shadow device can be used as such a device.
- the visualized picture is read using a scanning device, for example, a line of photodetectors, and the main personified in this way the product code is entered into the code holder database.
- the main personified code can be re-encoded by one of the encoding functions stored in the code owner’s database, and the obtained secondary personified product code can be entered into an auxiliary storage medium incorporated into the product (Fig. 1,2) along with the address the code owner’s database and the address of the encoding function used to generate the named secondary personified code
- Examples of the implementation of an auxiliary storage medium incorporated in a marked object may include:
- the interferometer shown in FIG. 3 As a device for visualizing a random spatial distribution of optical heterogeneities of a brand, for example, the interferometer shown in FIG. 3.
- the optical mark (11) made of a material whose refractive index and surface profile or at least one of the mentioned parameters are spatially modulated according to a random law, are positioned in the interferometer using special coordinate landmarks, for example, crosshairs, deposited on the surface of the product, and direct radiation from the laser illuminator (10) onto it, for example, a Laser Diode Module 31-0441-000 semiconductor laser manufactured by Socherept, emitting 0.95 MW at a wavelength of 635 nm.
- the radiation transmitted through the optical mark is directed to a prism beam splitter (12), which splits the incident beam into two and brings them together in the plane of the holographic grating (13), so that the wavefront of one of them turns out to be mirror-inverted relative to the other.
- a prismatic beam splitter for example, gluing two identical diamond-shaped prisms made of K-8 glass with a beam-splitting vacuum coating is used, and as a lattice (13), a hologram recorded, for example, on PFG-OZm photographic plates manufactured by Public Corporation Slavich. Behind lattice (13), there is a rearrangement of the zero diffraction order of one of beams incident on it and first-order diffraction of another beam.
- an interference pattern is formed, the spatial position of the bands of which is uniquely associated with the spatial distribution of optical inhomogeneities of the optical brand.
- the illumination distribution (14) in the above interference pattern is read using a scanning device, for example, the TSL 3301 line of photodetectors manufactured by TAOS, represent it numerically using standard electronic devices, and use the received signal as the primary personalized product code that is entered in code owner database.
- a scanning device for example, the TSL 3301 line of photodetectors manufactured by TAOS
- the received signal as the primary personalized product code that is entered in code owner database.
- interferometric methods make it possible to identify differences in the optical paths of interfering beams of the order of 0.1 wavelength. This corresponds to spatial variations in the refractive index of the optical mark of the order of 3XlO "4 at a thickness of 0.1 mm, or relative local variations in thickness 2x10 " 4 .
- such small defects cannot be detected by visual inspection. It is known that such or large optical inhomogeneities are characteristic of the
- the main personified code can be re-encoded by one of the encoding functions stored in the code owner’s database, and the received secondary personified product code is entered into the auxiliary storage medium incorporated into the product, together with the address of the code owner’s database and the address of the encoding function used to generate named secondary personified code.
- these data can be entered by known methods in the magnetic strip on a bank plastic card.
- the authentication of the marked product is carried out in accordance with the procedure described above in the description of the invention.
- optical brand is selected from among objects made of a material, optical anisotropy, the optical activity of which or at least one of these parameters are spatially modulated according to a random law.
- the optical mark can be made in the form of a transparent window from an anisotropic optical material, for example:
- a transparent material for example, a polymer containing randomly distributed birefringent microparticles, for example, encapsulated liquid crystals, particulate mica particles, birefringent microcrystals or cellulose fibers; from a transparent material characterized by the presence of spatially heterogeneous internal stresses, for example, in the form of a glass plate or a plastic sheet, not subjected to thermal annealing.
- a transparent material for example, a polymer containing randomly distributed birefringent microparticles, for example, encapsulated liquid crystals, particulate mica particles, birefringent microcrystals or cellulose fibers
- perforated birefringent material with random distribution of holes in size and spatial arrangement.

Abstract
La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé permettant de marquer des articles par voie optique puis d'identifier ladite marque aux fins de protection contre la contrefaçon. Le procédé selon l'invention consiste : à sélectionner une marque optique destinée à marquer un article, parmi un certain nombre d'objets présentant une répartition spatiale aléatoire d'hétérogénéités invisibles à l'oeil nu ; à diriger un faisceau de lumière issu d'une source de rayonnement sur ladite marque ; à former une répartition d'intensité de rayonnement modulée dans l'espace d'un domaine spectral de travail, qui est définie par la présence desdites hétérogénéités ; à extraire la répartition d'intensité de rayonnement sous la forme d'informations de répartition d'hétérogénéités ; et à enregistrer les informations ainsi extraites en tant que code principal de l'article, dans une base de données d'un système d'identification. Ladite marque optique peut être constituée d'une matière transparente dotée de stries, d'une surface ondulée irrégulière, de particules de diffusion et biréfringentes réparties aléatoirement et d'autres hétérogénéités invisibles, qu'il est impossible de reproduire à l'aide des moyens techniques actuels. Ladite marque optique peut se présenter sous la forme d'un fragment sélectionné de la surface de l'article lui-même. L'invention permet d'améliorer le niveau de protection contre la contrefaçon d'un article, tout en réduisant les besoins en volume de la base de données nécessaire à l'identification d'articles.
