2D Barcode Cigarette and Wine Shop Anti-fake Solution

Application background 

Cigarette business is one of the pillars of national and local financial revenue, so its importance in economy is self-evident. However, “three kinds of cigarette” (extracorporeal circulation cigarette, counterfeit trademark cigarette, smuggling cigarette) have serious impact on cigarette market, thus the country suffers loss of more than 20 billion Yuan of financial revenue every year. 

Repeated banning on extracorporeal circulation cigarette hasn’t stopped the phenomenon and it has become a stubborn illness. The country has attached great importance to coping with extracorporeal circulation cigarette, but there isn’t effective means of market monitoring and supervision yet. 

Cigarette manufacturing enterprises adopt their own anti-fake ways, and moreover, most of them are judgments made by human beings, affecting the accuracy and scientificalness of check work. 

With the cancellation of special cigarette sales permission on January 1st, 2004, a higher requirement is needed for the monitoring and supervision of import cigarette market 

Wine is also an important industry of national economy. But in recent years, due to the drive of high profit, manufacturing, selling, smuggling and trading in adulterated wine are hard to eliminate though they are banned time and time again. These phenomena have serious impact on domestic wine market. The business of black market is booming while it is hard for quality wine to step forward. Many normal wine manufacturing units once limited production, which not only made the country lose a lot of revenue from tax, but disturb the normal operation order of wine industry, and it is more frightening that much adulterated wine directly does harm to the health of most consumers and even kill their lives. 

High tax and high profit make adulterated wine prevail, wine enterprises of China have suffered 60% of loss, and China loses 30 billion of wine tax annually. Foreign wine has an impact on domestic market, most of which is smuggled wine. 

It is not just loss of tax revenue but the net loss of financial revenue. China has made certain achievements in cracking down on adulterated wine, making each financial benefit index of wine industry steadily increase, but there is still a long way to go before rectifying wine market order, severely cracking down on the activities of making and selling adulterated wine so as to eliminate counterfeit trademark wine, unregistered trademark wine and sales of the wine made by illegal wine companies. 

Manner of solving the problems 

Requirements for the solution 

It can recognize the goods sold by definite areas;

It can work in quite an efficient and steady way; 

The whole solution must be reasonable and it will not have great impact on the existing price structure and manufacturing process of products; 

It adopts enciphered data information for anti-fake detection and gains guarantee through special devices. 

Methods to solve the problems 

It is to conduct anti-fake recognition and management of cigarette and wine’s packing, labeling, transport permit, sales permit, etc by making use of digital enciphered two dimensional bar code technology so as to achieve the goal of anti-fake, anti-altering and promoting cigarette and wine business. The system consists of enciphered two-dimensional bar code generation system and two dimensional bar code data recognition management system. 

Application principles of two dimensional bar codes: 

It can print infrared information which is not seen by the naked eye on the surface of medium, through infrared printing technology; it can obtain related information in a convenient way through special infrared CIS sensor. CM two-dimensional bar code technology has the biggest storing capacity of bar codes in the world, and anti-fake information can be easily stored in large quantities. 

The following is schematic diagram

anti-fake and anti-goods changing have two anti-fake methods: 

Printing special invisible infrared CM, GM two dimensional bar code anti-fake information on every piece of goods (for the purpose of anti-fake)

Pasting disposable label by special infrared printing which includes CM, GM two dimensional bar codes (for the purpose of anti-fake and anti-goods changing)

Application solution 

Generation of enciphered two dimensional bar codes 

Datamation of the inherent system and characteristic information of goods packing, transport permission, sales permission, forming original data such as Certificate number, issuance date, manufacturing factory, manufacturing date, period of validity, sales permission unit, transport permission unit, etc. 

Enciphering operation of original information data by adopting enciphering algorithm, making original data become enciphered data. 

Using two dimensional bar code generation software to make enciphered data automatically transfer into two dimensional bar codes, and while printing label, printing the automatically generated two dimensional bar codes on label through printer, and automatically recording and controlling printed original data information 

Enciphering two dimensional bar code data recognition control system 

Using two dimensional bar code reader, conducting automatic reading through decipherment operation, and recognizing and telling truth from falsehood 

Using two-dimensional bar code reader to achieve automatic type-in of data information, and to automatically record and control the information which has been read so as to achieve automation of office management. 

With two dimensional bar codes, the administration departments of cigarette and wine shops of all provinces and cities can take statistics and make special supervision of cigarette and wine shops and transport permission units so as to prevent counterfeit cigarettes and adulterated wine from entering the market. 



Check personnel begins check, special device begins check

Characteristics and significance 

The structure of enciphered two dimensional bar codes comes directly from inherent information of certificates, so once two dimensional bar codes are formed, no alteration can be made to certificates, ensuring that altered certificates are invalid. 

Enciphered two dimensional bar codes include much inherent data information of certificates and also have special read-write device, and data in two dimensional bar codes can be input into computer, so we can make full use of these conditions to conduct uniform data management for cigarette and wine monopolization, transport permission and cigarette and wine shops so as to prevent counterfeit cigarettes and adulterated wine from entering the market, and safeguard the normal order of cigarette and wine market. 


Anti-fake characteristics: being comprehensive, hard to counterfeit, invisible information wine label records all information, without any imprint in appearance, not affecting appearance, the user recognition methods are easy to remember, achieving whole-course anti-fake.
