Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001]     The present invention is related to an anti-counterfeiting apparatus, and more particularly to an anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying for not only distinguishing real or counterfeited products, but also quickly identifying products and easily managing.  
       BACKGROUND  
       [0002]     Accordingly, in a process of controlling the transmission of products, identifying and anti-counterfeiting products is always what various makers paid a lot of attention to. A prior art method of controlling products, such as identifying barcodes, has much benefit to identifying and controlling products. Coordinate with applying computer databases and identifying barcodes, an ability of warehousing managing and dynamically tracing a large amount of products can be comparatively raised.  
         [0003]     However, technology progress and society advance makes the prior art product controlling technology not meet the application of industries nowadays; for example, since the product categories extremely increased, such that the coding numbers of barcodes are not enough. Besides, the identifying barcodes needs to pass through the optical scan equipments and an optical scan path with obstacles to proceed short-distance scanning to become useful data to be used. It is not convenient in use and cannot be suitable in managing the access of the big amount of products.  
         [0004]     In connection with the previous mentioned problems of controlling products, another product data reading and controlling technology is developed. As shown in  FIG. 1 , a wireless label capable of exchange product data through a radio frequency technology is pasted or bonded on an outer package or bottle  105  of a product  10  to be protected from counterfeiting. The wireless label  11  comprises a chip  111  capable of storing product data and gives an independent distribution code (not shown) of each product to store in the chip  11 . The chip  11  further connects to at least one antenna  115  of benefit to transfer signals. Therefore, by an outer reading apparatus (not shown), under a situation of without setting a scanning path without obstacles, a wireless radio frequency technology is used to read product data stored in the chip  111  to achieve an object of quickly identifying product categories and anti-counterfeiting.  
         [0005]     Although such a wireless label  11  can achieve an object of controlling products, however, the wireless label  11  is directly set on the outer package  105  of the product  10  in this way. Thus, after the consumer bought or used the product  10 , the wireless label  11  was not disabled immediately such that the product data stored in the wireless label  11  still can be read by an outer apparatus and cannot avoid from minded people using dishonest means to ascertain the product category bought or owned by the consumer. It not only hurts the privacy of the consumer but also has potential danger on the safety of the consumer.  
         [0006]     Further, after using the product, if the wireless label  11  of the product  10  was not destructed, it still has an ability of being read or identified such that unworthy people has an opportunity to repack the product outer package or bottle  105  after using but with good apparent. They can collect, refill with counterfeited objects, and sale the counterfeited products in market as an apology by the way of passing off fish eyes for pearls. Not only the consumer will be deceived to buy counterfeited product, even the safety of the consumer will be damaged, but also the reputation of the makers of original real products  10  is destructed. It is the reason why expensive liquor, cosmetics, accessories, or pharmaceuticals are easy to be counterfeited.  
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION  
       [0007]     Accordingly, how to design an anti-counterfeiting apparatus in connection with previous mentioned shortcomings of the prior art technology, and more particularly an anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying which not only can distinguish real or counterfeiting of products but also has an effect of quickly identifying product and conveniently managing is an inventive point of the present invention. Therefore,  
         [0008]     It is a primary object of the present invention to provide an anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying. It mainly fixes a wireless label at a seal of a product such that after the product is used and unsealed, the wireless label can be directly destructed or removed at the same time in order to let it lose an ability of being read or identified the product data and cannot be reused improperly to be a counterfeited product. This way, an object of anti-counterfeiting products can be achieved.  
         [0009]     It is a secondary object of the present invention to provide an anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying which uses the radio frequency technology of its wireless label to not only examine data of the products remote and quickly to easy manage the products, but also identify real or counterfeited products quickly to protect the reputation of the makers of the real products and the safety of the consumers.  
         [0010]     It is another object of the present invention to provide an anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying which removes the ability of being read or identified improperly of the products with an easy way after the users buy the products. It not only is benefit to maintain the personal privacy but also helps to maintain their safety.  
         [0011]     To achieve the previous mentioned objects, a structure of a preferred embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises: a membrane, an identifying module set therein, and capable of being fixed on a product; and a destructive structure fixed on part of a surface of the membrane for naturally destructing the identifying module when the destructive structure is open.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION  
       [0021]     The structural features and the effects to be achieved may further be understood and appreciated by reference to the presently preferred embodiments together with the detailed description.  
         [0022]     First, referring to  FIG. 2A  to  2 B, respectively a structural diagram and a use state diagram of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying mainly fixes a membrane  23  on a package  215  of a product  21  (such as a bottle or gallipot, etc.). The package  215  can use a seal (not shown) to close the opening and cover the seal and part of the outer surface of the package  21  by the membrane  23  wherein the membrane  23  comprises an identifying module  25  and a destructive structure  231 .  
         [0023]     The identifying module  25  comprises an identifying chip  251  and an antenna  253 . The identifying chip  251  can be electrically connected to the antenna  253 . Therefore, the identifying chip  251  can receive or transmit a radio frequency signal by the antenna  253 . The identifying chip  251  can store bigger amount of data than the prior art identifying barcodes, and thus an independent product digital number can be pre-given to each product  21  and stored in the identifying chip  251 . An outer apparatus (not shown) can use suitable radio frequency signals to sense the antenna  253  such that the outer apparatus can remote read the product number stored in the identifying chip  251 . Thereby, no matter in either one of the situations of warehouse, transporting distribution, or transaction vend, the product data stored in the identifying chip  251  quickly and accurately without an optical scanning path or short-distance scanning path such that each product can proceed quickly in a distribution or transaction process.  
         [0024]     Further, when the user wants to use the object filled in the product  21  and the package, an unsealing process is needed first. In the unsealing process, the membrane  23  wrapping the opening and the seal is removed first, meanwhile, the destructive structure  231  is used to produce a crack  235  on the membrane  23 . At the same time, the identifying module  25  attached on the membrane  23  is destructed to make the identifying module  25  lose the original ability of being read or identified such that the identifying module  25  cannot read the product data stored therein through an outer apparatus again to achieve an capability of anti-counterfeiting.  
         [0025]     For example, in the embodiment, by opening the destructive structure  231  or producing the crack  235 , the identifying chip  251  on the identifying module  25  is directly destructed, the antenna  253  and the identifying chip  251  are disengaged, or the antenna  253  forms an abruption and radio frequency signals cannot be transmitted again. Thereby, the object of destructing the identifying module  25  and making it unable to be used again is achieved.  
         [0026]     This way, it not only prevents from minded people knowing the object data bought by the consumers through an outer apparatus and therefore knowing the privacy of life mode or product category owned by the consumers, but also prevents from dishonest industrialists collecting these exhausted product package  21 , refilling them to be counterfeit products, and selling them. The object of anti-counterfeiting products and protecting personal privacy can be further achieved.  
         [0027]     Of course, in another embodiment of the present invention, the membrane  23  can be the surface of the package  215 , and the antenna  253  and the identifying chip  25  are directly fixed to the package  215 , or the product seal, the surface, the outer package, or the outer package surface. The object of the present invention can also be achieved.  
         [0028]     Further, referring  FIGS. 3A and 3B , are a structural diagram and use state diagram of each aspects of another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, in the embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying of the present invention can apply on a screw-topped package  31 . It mainly fixes an identifying module  35  on a screw-top  33  wherein the screw-top  33  is formed by connecting a partially broken groove  331  and an anti-counterfeiting ring  333 . The identifying chip  351  and the antenna  353  on the identifying module  35  can be fixed on the screw-top  33  and the anti-counterfeiting ring  333  respectively. When the user wants to use the product sealed in the package  31  by the screw-top  33 , the screw-top  33  is needed to be opened first. Now, since the partially broken groove  331  existed between the screw-top  33  and the anti-counterfeiting ring  333  such that the connecting force between the screw-top  33  and the anti-counterfeiting ring  333  is not enough to resist the rotating force  335  of the screw-top  33  and thus it totally broken and disengaged. At the same time as disengaging, the identifying chip  351  and the antenna  353  positioned at two places are disengaged too and further the identifying module  35  is destructed. This way, the identifying module  35  loses the ability of being read or identified by the outer apparatus again to achieve the object of anti-counterfeiting products. The predicted result of the previous embodiment can also be achieved.  
         [0029]     Furthermore, referring  FIG. 4 , a use state diagram of another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, in the embodiment, the identifying module  45  is set in a cap  43  made of a material of cork or plastic, and the cap  43  is used on an outer package  41  capable of filling liquid, such as bottles, wherein the identifying chip  451  and the antenna  453  comprised in the identifying module  45  can be selectively set both in the cap  43  or set one of them in the cap  43 . When the user wants to use the liquid in the bottle  41 , the cap  43  is taken out through a corkscrewing process. In this process of taking out the cap, a corkscrew (not shown) is used to rotate into the cap  43  until a prior depth to take out the cap  43  from the bottle  41 . In the corkscrewing process of the corkscrew rotating into the cap  43 , the antenna  453  or the identifying chip  451  comprised in the identifying module  45  is destructed. Therefore, after corkscrewing, the ability of being read or identified of the identifying module  45  is lost by destructing the identifying module  45 , and the object of anti-counterfeiting of the previous mentioned embodiment is further achieved.  
         [0030]     Continuously, referring  FIGS. 5A and 5B , a stereoscopic diagram and use state diagram of another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, in the embodiment, the anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying can be applied on an outer package, outer packing box, or soft package  51  capable of storing products. The identifying module  55  is fixed on a proper position of a seal  511  on the soft package  51 . When the consumer wants to open the seal  511  to take out the product therein, a proper force is needed to be apply at the seal  511  or a destructive groove  531  of the soft package  51  and make it bigger such that an opening  513  is produced on the package  51  for consumers to easy to take the products out and use. By extending the destructive groove  531  and augmenting the opening  513 , the identifying module  55  is also destructed, such as disengaging the antenna  553  and the identifying chip  551  or directly destructing the identifying chip  551 . This way, the identifying module  55  will lose the identifying ability of transferring the product data with the outer apparatus through the radio frequency technology. The object of anti-counterfeiting products can be achieved, and expected result of the previous embodiment can also be achieved.  
         [0031]     Finally, referring to  FIG. 6 , a structural diagram of another embodiment of the present invention. As shown, in the previous embodiments, the identifying chip and antenna of the identifying module are all mainly discussed in the anti-counterfeiting apparatuses of the present invention, but according to the main inventive spirit of the present invention, the identifying module can also be replaced by general two dimensional barcodes or identifying barcodes  65  as long as the two dimensional barcodes or identifying barcodes  65  are fixed on a proper position where needed to be destructed when opening and using the product, such as seal  511 , and the structure of the two dimensional barcodes or identifying barcodes  65  will be destructed when opening and using the products. The object of the present invention can also be achieved.  
         [0032]     In summary, it is appreciated that the present invention relates to an anti-counterfeiting apparatus, and more particularly to an anti-counterfeiting apparatus capable of remote identifying. It not only can distinguish the real or counterfeited products but also has an effect of quickly identifying products and easily managing.
