  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a seal seal according to the present invention, an authentication system using the seal seal, and an authentication method using the seal seal will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of a seal seal according to the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, a seal 10 for preventing peeling is formed of a seal 11 using a brittle material. The seal 11 includes a bar code portion 12 for management disposed at a predetermined position, A DNA ink part 13 for authenticity determination arranged at another predetermined position and a slit part 14 for preventing use of a solvent arranged at another position are formed.

Next, each component constituting the seal seal 10 will be described.
The seal 11 is made of a material that is easily broken when peeled, that is, a so-called brittle material. In this embodiment, the material of the seal 11 is a vinyl chloride resin compound, and the strength of the seal material is moderately weakened by high filling with an inorganic compound that has been surface-treated with metal soap, organic unitary hydrogen wax, or the like. Designed to be
When the seal 11 is to be peeled off, the seal 11 itself is destroyed both by the fact that the adhesive force is stronger than the force applied to the seal 11 and the strength of the seal 11 itself is originally weak.
Since the seal 11 has the above-described characteristics, it is extremely difficult to peel off even if a peeling is attempted using a solvent as compared with a conventional seal. In addition, since the seal 11 is made of a brittle material, the tensile strength of the material itself against peeling is weak and easy to break. As a result, it is easy to find traces of peeling, and the conventional seal Compared to the above, a trace is always left when the ROM box is opened and closed.

  The barcode unit 12 is configured with a QR code 12A. The QR code 12A is a management number composed of information such as a store code of a pachinko shop or a game center (hereinafter abbreviated as a store), a type of a pachinko machine or a game machine (hereinafter abbreviated as a pachinko machine), or the like. A random number encrypted based on this is generated and converted into a specific code. The QR code 12A is configured to be readable by a mobile terminal (hereinafter referred to as a mobile phone), and details thereof will be described later.

The DNA ink portion 13 is coated with a colorless and transparent ink 13A. A DNA (human gene) oligomer 13B and a photoexcited pigment (hereinafter referred to as a pigment) 13C are added to the ink 13A. The ink main body is an acrylic or urethane UV curable resin (organic resin body). In order to highly disperse the organic DNA in the organic resin body, an aliphatic polyester is simultaneously added as a dispersant. A pigment emits light when excited by infrared rays having a specific wavelength.
The DNA oligomer 13B added to the ink 13A is sealed at both ends with a specially designed primer, and analyzes the base sequence information of the DNA oligomer 13B main body unless the base sequences of both primers are known. It is configured so that it is impossible.
The added pigment (special pigment) 13C is configured to excite infrared rays having a specific wavelength. And when it becomes an excited state and changes from the said excited state to a ground state, light is emitted. By detecting the light emitted from the pigment 13C at that time by the DNA ink detector, it is possible to easily inspect the fraud. That is, when a crime such as illegally falsifying the ROM using a product or the like of the seal 11 is found, the authenticity is detected by DNA analysis of the ink 13A applied to the DNA ink portion 13 of the seal 11. It is possible.

The slit portion 14 forms a slit 14A by making a cut in the surface of the seal 11, and a pattern (for example, a letter, a figure, a design, etc.) is applied to the surface of the slit 14A with ink, or the surface of the slit 14A ( For example, it is configured to determine the trace that has been peeled off by printing (for example, with a killer whale mark). Further, the larger the number of slits 14A, the better.
Normally, when the seal 11 is intentionally peeled off, it is easily broken if the seal 11 is made of a brittle material (a mixture of resin and inorganic material), but contains an organic solvent (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.) When a raw material such as heavy naphtha is applied to the adhesive surface (not shown) of the seal 11, the seal 11 can be peeled without breaking.
However, by configuring the slit portion 14 as described above, when the seal 11 is peeled off or is about to be peeled off, the organic solution oozes out to the surface (the surface opposite to the adhesive surface) through the slit 14A, The pattern or seal applied with the ink bleeds, and it is possible to visually determine the trace that has been peeled off or about to be peeled off.

Next, an embodiment of an authentication system using a seal seal according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
