CONTAINER FRAUD DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A container fraud detection system and method using one or more wireless communication tags attached to a container in specific ways to ensure the authenticity of the contents. The tag is affixed to the container in such a way that the tag is destroyed upon opening of the container, thereby indicating fraud upon scanning. The tag may be affixed to the container by an adhesive strip, polymer film or wax composition. The tag may be affixed to an adhesive strip prior to application of the strip to a container. Two tags on the container or strip may be cryptographically linked. The tag information is accessible through a scanning device which communicates with a database that stores information about the container and analyzes the probability of fraud with an algorithm.

1. A system for detecting fraud for a container, comprising:
at least one wireless communication tag configured to contain information about the container; the container having a container closure and a container body; a reading device configured to scan the near field communication tag for accessing the information about the container; a database containing information related to a probability of fraud based on the information about the container; an algorithm, wherein the algorithm executes on a processor that is in communication with the near field communication tag via a wireless protocol and, after exchanging data with the near field communication tag, the processor executes the algorithm and determines the probability of fraud.
