Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Identifikation gefälschter Zigaretten oder Zigarren mittels Radio Frequency Identification Systemen (RFID-Systeme), wobei Verpackungen von Zigaretten oder Zigarren mit einem RFID-Tag versehen werden, durch welchen Daten über Eigenschaften der Zigaretten oder Zigarren drahtlos auf ein Lesegerät übertragbar und anzeigbar sind.The The invention relates to a method for identifying counterfeit Cigarettes or cigars using Radio Frequency Identification Systems (RFID systems), where packages of cigarettes or cigars are provided with an RFID tag, through which data about Properties of cigarettes or cigars wirelessly transferable to a reader and can be displayed.

Ein besonderes Problem, vor allem bei Zigaretten und Zigarren stellen heutzutage Fälschungen dar, welche unter den originalen Handelsnamen in den Verkehr gebracht werden und oftmals durch im Vergleich zum Original minderwertige Qualität deren Ruf schädigt bzw. deren Ruf ausbeuten. Da die Aufmachung der Fälschungen oftmals nur sehr schwer von der des Originals zu unterscheiden ist, stehen Zollbehörden, Einkäufer des Handels oder Vertreter der Hersteller der Originale oftmals vor dem Problem, die Fälschungen als solche schnell und einfach zu identifizieren.One particular problem, especially with cigarettes and cigars fakes today, which are marketed under the original trade names and are often inferior in comparison to the original ones quality whose reputation is damaging or exploit their reputation. Because the presentation of the fakes often very difficult to distinguish from the original, Customs authorities, buyers of the trade or representatives of the manufacturers of the originals often before the problem, the fakes as such, quick and easy to identify.

Ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren ist aus der DE 43 41 880 A1 bekannt. Dort wird ein Kontrollsystem zum Schutz von Artikeln vor Nachahmung beschreiben, wobei die Artikel mit Datenträgern mit herstellerspezifischen Daten versehen werden.A generic method is from the DE 43 41 880 A1 known. There will be described a control system for the protection of articles from imitation, whereby the articles are provided with data carriers with manufacturer-specific data.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt demzufolge die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren bereitzustellen, mit welchem auf schnelle und einfache Weise Fälschungen von Zigaretten oder Zigarren identifiziert werden können.Of the The present invention is therefore based on the object To provide a method with which to fast and easy Way fakes of cigarettes or cigars can be identified.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.These The object is solved by the features of claim 1.

Eine Ausführung der Erfindung basiert auf dem Gedanken, im Grunde bekannte Radio Frequency Identification Systeme (RFID-Systeme), bei welchen Verpackungen von Zigaretten oder Zigarren mit einem RFID-Tag versehen sind, durch welchen Daten über Eigenschaften der Waren drahtlos auf ein Lesegerät übertragbar und anzeigbar sind, zur Erfassung von gefälschten Zigaretten oder Zigarren zu verwenden. Ein solcher RFID-Tag besteht aus einer Antenne, einem analogen Schaltkreis zum Empfangen und Senden, dem sog. Transponder, sowie einem digitalen Schaltkreis. Die auf diesem Schaltkreis gespeicherten Daten lassen sich drahtlos auf ein Lesegerät übertragen. Das RFID-Tag kann kodierte Daten über das Produkt, wie beispielsweise den Hersteller, das Produktionsdatum etc. enthalten. Zum Zwecke der Unterscheidung von gefälschten und originalen Waren können diese Daten dann von Zollbehörden, Einkäufern des Handels oder Vertretern der Hersteller der Originale mit Hilfe des Lesegeräts ausgelesen werden. Fälschungen der Daten auf den RFID-Tags können mit Hilfe einer entsprechenden Kodierung verhindert werden.A execution The invention is based on the idea, basically known radio Frequency Identification Systems (RFID systems) for which packaging of cigarettes or cigars are tagged with an RFID tag which data about Characteristics of the goods can be transmitted and displayed wirelessly on a reading device, for the detection of counterfeit To use cigarettes or cigars. Such an RFID tag exists from an antenna, an analogue circuit for receiving and Send, the so-called transponder, as well as a digital circuit. The data stored on this circuit can be wirelessly transferred to a reader. The RFID tag can encode data about the product, such as the manufacturer, the production date, etc. For the purpose the distinction of counterfeit and original goods then this data from customs authorities, buyers of trade or representatives of manufacturers of originals with the help of the reader be read out. forgeries the data on the RFID tags can be prevented with the help of a corresponding coding.

Wenn jedem Hersteller wenigstens eine genetisch modifizierte Tabaksorte zugeordnet wird, können Hersteller, Prüfinstanzen oder Zollbehörden das jeweilige Produkt durch Auslesen der Daten des RFID-Tags leicht auf Authentizität überprüfen. Da die Nachzucht und der Anbau einer solchen genetisch modifizierten Tabaksorte sehr aufwändig ist, lohnen sich Fälschungen solcher Zigaretten oder Zigarren nicht.If each manufacturer at least one genetically modified variety of tobacco can be assigned Manufacturer, inspection bodies or customs authorities that respective product by reading the data of the RFID tag easily check for authenticity. There the offspring and the cultivation of such a genetically modified Tobacco variety very expensive is worth counterfeiting not such cigarettes or cigars.

Um eine Verwendung eines solchermaßen präparierten RFID-Tags für gefälschte Waren bzw. Kopien solcher RFID-Tags zu verhindern, kann das RFID-Tag mit einem an der Verpackung angeordneten Siegel derart zusammenwirken, dass eine Entfernung und/oder eine Manipulation des RFID-Tags eine sichtbare Zerstörung des Siegels bewirkt. Weiterhin kann das RFID-Tag an der Verpackung derart angeordnet ist, dass ein Öffnen der Verpackung an einer dafür vorgesehenen Stelle eine automatische Zerstörung des RFID-Tags bewirkt. Dies kann insbesondere dadurch verwirklicht sein, dass das RFID-Tag an einer Steuerbanderole einer Zigaretten- oder Zigarrenverpackung angeordnet oder in diese integriert ist, so dass es beim Öffnen der Zigarettenpackung automatisch zerstört wird.Around a use of such a prepared RFID tags for fake To prevent goods or copies of such RFID tags, the RFID tag with a the packaging arranged seals cooperate such that a Removal and / or manipulation of the RFID tag a visible destruction of the seal causes. Furthermore, the RFID tag on the packaging is arranged such that an opening the packaging at one for it intended location causes automatic destruction of the RFID tag. This can be realized in particular in that the RFID tag on a tax stamp of a cigarette or cigar wrap is arranged or integrated in it, so that when opening the Cigarette pack is automatically destroyed.
