Abstract
Systems and methods of authenticating a product are provided. Such systems may include an asset verifier system including an image comparator and an image data store, an asset registration station communicable with the asset verifier system, and an asset verification software application in a verification device communicable with the asset verifier system. The product to be authenticated may be a physical asset having at least one heterogeneous visual feature, or a group of visually homogenous products uniquely arranged.
Claims18
A method of authenticating a product, comprising:
- storing at least one image of at least one heterogeneous visual feature of a first group of products, the products having homogeneous visual features and contained within a packaging, and at least one machine readable code associated with the first group of products in an asset verifier, the at least one machine readable code located on the packaging proximate to the at least one heterogeneous visual feature;
- scanning at least one of an image of at least one heterogeneous visual feature of a second group of products having homogenous visual features and a machine readable code associated with the second group of products;
- comparing the scanned image or the machine readable code to the at least one image or the at least one machine readable code in the asset verifier;
- and
- providing an indication to a user if the asset verifier contains an image or machine readable code matching the scanned image or the machine readable code.
