Description

{ART AUTHENTICITY RECOGNITION SYSTEM}

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a system for recognizing the authenticity of a work of art, and more particularly, to a system for recognizing the authenticity of a work of art by using an identification unit provided in a frame structure of the work of art.

In the past, radiocarbon dating and signature verification methods were used to identify the authenticity of works of art. Radiocarbon dating is a method that uses radiocarbon to estimate the year of manufacture of paper and compares it to the time of signature to determine authenticity. Signature verification is a method that verifies the authenticity of the creator's handwritten signature.

However, this method had the problem of raising concerns about forgery because the signature had to be precisely copied, and it was expensive because it had to be entrusted to a specialized agency for radiocarbon measurements.

Accordingly, a technology has been developed to determine authenticity and confirm basic information about a work of art by placing a circuit authorized with a unique RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) on the work of art.

In the case of technology using RFID, there was a security vulnerability because the code could be copied through hacking and the same code could be planted in a counterfeit product.

A computer program (also known as a program, software, software application, script or code) may be written in any programming language, including compiled or interpreted languages, a priori or procedural languages, and may be deployed in any form, including as a standalone program, a module, a component, a subroutine or other unit suitable for use in a computing environment.

A computer program does not necessarily correspond to a file on a file device. A program may be stored within a single file provided to the requested program, within multiple interacting files (e.g., one or more files storing modules, subprograms, or portions of code), or within a portion of a file containing other programs or data (e.g., one or more scripts stored within a markup language document).

A computer program may be deployed to run on a single computer or on multiple computers located at a single site or distributed across multiple sites and interconnected by a communications network.

Additionally, the logical flow and structural block diagrams described in this patent document describe corresponding functions and corresponding acts and/or specific methods supported by the steps and supported by the disclosed structural means, and can also be used to construct corresponding software structures and algorithms and their equivalents.

The processes and logic flows described herein are executable by one or more programmable processors executing one or more computer programs to perform functions by operating on input data and generating output.

A processor suitable for executing a computer program includes, for example, any one or more processors of both general-purpose and special-purpose microprocessors and any type of digital computer. Typically, the processor will receive instructions and data from a read-only memory or a random access memory or both.

The central elements of a computer are one or more memory devices for storing instructions and data and a processor for executing instructions. Additionally, the computer will typically be coupled to or include one or more mass storage devices for storing data, such as magnetic, magneto-optical, or optical disks, which are operable to receive data from or transfer data to or perform both of these operations. However, a computer need not have such devices.

The present description sets forth the best mode of the invention and provides examples to explain the invention and to enable those skilled in the art to make and use the invention. The specification so written is not intended to limit the invention to the specific terms set forth.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art or having ordinary knowledge in the art that various modifications and changes may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and technical scope of the present invention as set forth in the claims below.
