Abstract: A system for verifying ownership of articles
is based on attributing a unique article number, an ownership
certificate and a geographical area to each article.
The ownership certificate carries an individual certification
number different from the article number. A
central computer (6) with a database (7) contains a list
of the geographical area, article number and certification
number of each article. The system can be queried by
entering the article and certification numbers as well as
the geographical location of the enquirer. The geographical
location can be retrieved automatically from the
technical information accompanying the enquirer's phone
call. The system then indicates if the two numbers match
or if the do not match. It also checks if the enquirer is
located within the geographical area of the article and
issues an alert if this is not the case.
