Abstract
In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, a system for authenticating bottled goods includes, a near field communication (NFC) inlay having an electronic data component, a communication antenna, and a frangible circuit member configured to permanently alter the electronic data component upon breakage of the frangible circuit member, and a ferrite shield mounted to a second side of the NFC inlay proximate the communication antenna for allowing NFC interactions with the electronic data component through a first side of the NFC inlay opposite the second side of the NFC inlay.
Claims21
A system for authenticating bottled goods comprising:
- a near field communication (NFC) inlay having an electronic data component, a communication antenna, and a frangible circuit member configured to permanently alter the electronic data component upon breakage of the frangible circuit member;
- and
- a ferrite shield mounted to a second side of the NFC inlay proximate the communication antenna for allowing NFC interactions with the electronic data component through a first side of the NFC inlay opposite the second side of the NFC inlay.
A method comprising:
- requesting a unique blockchain hash for a capsule for preserving provenance of a bottle of product;
- and
- receiving the unique blockchain hash, and associating an NFC inlay of the capsule with the unique blockchain hash, by associating the unique blockchain hash with an NFT (non- fungible token) unique to the NFC.
An authentication system configured to execute machine readable instructions on one or more devices to cause the one or more devices to perform a method, the method comprising:
- requesting a unique blockchain hash for a capsule for preserving provenance of a bottle of product in response to receiving the product verification signal;
- and
- receiving the unique blockchain hash and associating an NFC inlay of the capsule with the unique blockchain hash, by associating the unique blockchain hash with an NFT (non-fungible token) unique to the NFC inlay.
