Definitions

  • the present invention relates to methods and systems for identification of manufactured and registered articles such as automobiles, arms, etc.
  • a method for credit card identification consisting in marking each credit card with an identification number, inputting this identification number at each use of the credit card into a terminal working memory together with other identifying data, transferring the input identification number to a central facility to enquire information stored in its memory under this identification number, transmitting this information to the terminal and comparing it with information from the credit card (application EPO No.01 12944, CI.G07 F 7/10, publ.1984).
  • This method is implemented in an appropriate system including a central facility with the main memory (database), a network of remote terminals having their own databases, communication links to connect the remote terminals with the central facility, a set of credit cards and a device for applying to them (for their marking) a corresponding identification code (the above- mentioned application EPO No.01 12944).
  • Disadvantages of this method and system include impossibility to determine legitimacy of credit card use in the case when its illegal owner during his or her next accessing the terminal inputs an identification number which coincides with the number stored in the central facility database.
  • a method for article identification comprising marking an article being manufactured and storing this marking in a database, supplying articles to remote points, recognition of desired articles by reading their marking at each point and comparing the marking read with corresponding data in the database, and on the basis of this comparison result decision is made on further transfer of the article or on retaining it at the given point (International application No. WO91/10202, Cl. G06 F 15/46, publ. 1991 ).
  • This method is implemented within a system including a point for marking an article, a device for inputting marking into the database, devices for reading the marking at remote points, a communication link between the database and the devices for marking reading, a device for comparing the marking read with that stored in the database and a decision-making device (the above-mentioned application No. WO 91/10202).
  • Disadvantages of this method and system include a rather limited field if application not enabling to use them for identification (and registration) of such articles as automobiles, motorcycles, fire-arms, since this method and system do not provide for any means for article identification during their illegal use.
  • the closest to the claimed method is a method for registered article identification in which parameters of each article being manufactured are stored in a reference database together with individual numbers allocated to it, the article parameters are stored together with the individual numbers allocated to it in at least one working database, information is retrieved from databases, retrieved information is compared from at least the reference database and/or at least one working database, and information on specific article is updated in at least one working database (US patent No. 5528490, Cl.

These advantages are due to the fact what working databases 3 are available in the system. These working databases may be created by law-enforcing authorities to facilitate search for lost cars, by insurance companies to minimise risks of losses in car insuring, by other entities and companies. In order to make further discussion definite, we will consider that in Fig.1 the working database 3.1 belongs to law-enforcing authorities while the working database 3.n is owned by an insurance company.

  • the car nay be subjected to examination using various physical methods (inspection under the microscope, X-ray structural analysis, investigation in infrared or ultraviolet rays, etc.) in order to detect even one valid individual number.

Or, in the case of checking firearms using the marking readout means 12 by placing the arms into a corresponding chamber for such readout, the decision-making means 10.1 may block the arms in this chamber if the individual number of such arms is absent in the reference database 2.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes qui permettent d'identifier des articles manufacturés et enregistrés. Cette invention permet l'identification de n'importe quel article enregistré, notamment par les autorités chargées du respect de la loi et par les compagnies d'assurances. Ce procédé consiste a stocker, dans une base de données de référence et dans au moins une base de données de travail, des paramètres concernant les articles manufacturés ainsi que des numéros individuels qui leurs sont attribués. On compare ensuite les données extraites des bases de données, et l'on remet ensuite à jour dans la base de données de travail les informations concernant un article particulier. Ce résultat peut être obtenu en marquant chaque article à l'aide de numéros individuels qui lui sont attribués au cours de sa fabrication. Lorsque l'article est introduit sur le marché, on demande des informations concernant un article donné avec les mêmes numéros individuels stockés dans les bases de données. Lorsque les paramètres coïncident après comparaison, on effectue une remise à jour des information concernant cet article au moins en ce qui concerne son statut juridique. Lorsque même une partie des informations ne coïncide pas, on effectue une vérification au moyen d'une analyse comparative des paramètres de l'article donné et/ou à l'aide de procédés physiques correspondants afin de déterminer ne serait-ce qu'un numéro individuel valide. Cette invention concerne également un système permettant de mettre en oeuvre ce procédé, lequel comprend un base de données de référence (2), une base de données de travail (3), un dispositif d'accès (6) aux bases de données, un dispositif de comparaison (7) ainsi que des canaux de communication (8, 9). Ce système s'accompagne d'un dispositif de marquage (1), d'un dispositif de saisie des données (4) et d'une station de saisie des données (5).
