Abstract
Method and system for detecting authenticate products based upon alteration of emission characteristics due to interaction of the emissions with the product and the container.
Claims4
A method for determining the authenticity of, or tracking, a product housed in a container having a label attached thereto having a plurality of light-emitting materials on the attached side, said method comprising:
- (a) exciting one or more of said light-emitting materials through said container and said product;
- (b) monitoring one or more of the emitted wavelengths of light generated in response to the excitation;
- (c) comparing the emission profile obtained against a standard fingerprint characteristic of an authentic product housed in an authentic container.
A method for determining whether packaging housing a product is authentic, said packaging having a label attached thereto having a plurality of light-emitting materials on the attached side, said method comprising:
- (a) exciting one or more of said light-emitting materials through said container but not through said product;
- (b) monitoring one or more of the emitted wavelengths of light generated in response to the excitation;
- (c) comparing the emission profile obtained against a standard fingerprint characteristic of an authentic packaging.
