SISTEMA DE DETECCIÓN DE MANIPULACIÓN DEL CIERRE DE UN ENVASE O CONTENEDOR SYSTEM OF DETECTION OF HANDLING OF THE CLOSURE OF A CONTAINER OR CONTAINER
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La invención, tal como expresa el enunciado de la presente memoria descriptiva, se refiere a un sistema de detección de manipulación del cierre de un envase o contenedor que aporta, a dicha función, ventajas y características, que se describen en detalle más adelante, que suponen una mejora del estado actual de la técnica. The invention, as expressed in the present specification, refers to a tamper detection system of the closure of a container or container that provides, to said function, advantages and characteristics, which are described in detail below, which they represent an improvement of the current state of the art.
El objeto de la presente invención recae en un sistema de detección de manipulación de un cierre de un envase o contenedor de cualquier producto comercial, por ejemplo el tapón de una botella de perfume, licor u otro líquido, o la tapa de una caja contenedora de uno o más productos, como medio de seguridad para conocer si ei producto es original y para saber si ya ha sido abierto o si por el contrario el cierre ha sido indebidamente manipulado, consistiendo elcuai mejora dicho procedimiento al incorporar preferentemente, junto a la etiqueta inteligente pasiva, NFC, RFID, o similar que emite y muestra información de una base de datos al ser activada por un dispositivo lector compatible, y al medio detector de manipulación, dos zonas con elementos químicos y/o magnéticos que, en posición de no manipulación, no interaccionan pero que, cuando se manipula el cierre, interaccionan entre ellas o con la atmósfera generando una consecuencia (por ejemplo; cambio de color, conductividad, cambio en el campo magnético...) que permite al usuario detectar tal manipulación del cierre. CAMPO DE APLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN The object of the present invention lies in a tamper detection system of a closure of a container or container of any commercial product, for example the cap of a perfume bottle, liquor or other liquid, or the lid of a container containing a one or more products, as a means of security to know if the product is original and to know if it has already been opened or if on the contrary the closure has been unduly manipulated, consisting of which improves said procedure by preferably incorporating, next to the smart label Passive, NFC, RFID, or similar that emits and displays information from a database when activated by a compatible reading device, and to the tamper detecting means, two zones with chemical and / or magnetic elements that, in non-manipulation position , they do not interact but, when the closure is manipulated, they interact with each other or with the atmosphere generating a consequence (for example; color change, conductivity dad, change in the magnetic field ...) that allows the user to detect such manipulation of the closure. FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION
El campo de aplicación de la presente invención se enmarca dentro del sector de la industria dedicada a la fabricación de sistemas de seguridad para cierre de embalajes o contenedores, abarcando al mismo tiempo el ámbito de las etiquetas inteligentes y los dispositivos lectores. The field of application of the present invention is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of security systems for closing packages or containers, while covering the field of smart tags and reading devices.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN Es conocida la necesidad de ios fabricantes de poder garantizar a sus clientes que los productos que compran son originales y no han sido manipulados en ninguno de los diferentes estadios de distribución por los que pasan desde el punto de elaboración hasta el punto de suministro final, siendo especialmente importante en productos de alto valor añadido y elevado coste económico, tales como perfumes, licores de marca, medicamentos que son propensos a ser objeto de falsificaciones manipulando sus cierres para sustituir el producto original por otro falso, de menos valor, calidad o prestaciones. Esto es especialmente importante en productos de aito valor añadido y elevado coste económico, tales como ios perfumes o los licores de marca que, como es sabido, son propensos a ser objeto de todo tipo de falsificaciones por parte de individuos u organizaciones sin escrúpulos que manipulan ios cierres de los envases o contenedores para sustituir el producto original por otro de aspecto semejante sin ningún valor. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known the need for manufacturers to be able to guarantee to their customers that the products they buy are original and have not been handled in any of the different stages of distribution through which they pass from the point of production to the point of final supply, being especially important in products with high added value and high economic cost, such as perfumes, brand liquors, medicines that are prone to be falsified by manipulating their closures to replace the original product with a fake one, of less value, quality or performance This is especially important in products with aito added value and high economic cost, such as perfumes or brand liquors that, as is known, are likely to be subject to all kinds of counterfeits by unscrupulous individuals or organizations that manipulate The closures of the containers or containers to replace the original product with another of similar appearance without any value.
El objetivo de ¡a presente invención es proporcionar al mercado un nuevo tipo de sistema de detección de manipulación del cierre de un envase o contenedor que pueda garantizar, tanto al fabricante como, sobre todo al consumidor, la certeza de que el producto que compra no haya sido manipulado y, si por algún motivo lo ha sido, poder saberlo también al instante y antes de adquirir el producto. The objective of the present invention is to provide the market with a new type of tamper detection system for the closure of a container or container that can guarantee, both to the manufacturer and, above all, to the consumer, the certainty that the product he buys is not has been manipulated and, if for some reason it has been, to know it also instantly and before purchasing the product.
Otra aplicación de ¡a presente invención es la de controlar el acceso al contenido de un contenedor, tal como por ejemplo los contenedores utilizado en el transporte de mercancías. Another application of the present invention is to control access to the contents of a container, such as for example the containers used in the transport of goods.
Por otra parte, son conocidas ias etiquetas inteligentes que, mediante un dispositivo lector, permiten obtener información. Entre dicho tipo de etiquetas destacan las etiquetas NFC (siglas en inglés de Near Fieid Communication, en español comunicación de campo cercano) On the other hand, smart tags are known which, by means of a reading device, allow obtaining information. Among these types of labels, NFC tags stand out (Near Fieid Communication acronym in Spanish near field communication)
Se trata de una etiqueta o tag que incorpora una tecnología inalámbrica de alta frecuencia pero que, como su propio nombre indica, su radio de acción es muy bajo tanto, que para usarla no se puede estar a más de 10 ó 15 cm del dispositivo lector con el que se interactúa. It is a tag or tag that incorporates a high-frequency wireless technology but, as its name indicates, its radius of action is very low, so that to use it you cannot be more than 10 or 15 cm from the reading device with which you interact.
Su funcionamiento se basa en ia creación de un campo electromagnético en el que, mediante inducción, se genera un intercambio de información entre ambos dispositivos, etiqueta y lector. Its operation is based on the creation of an electromagnetic field in which, by induction, an exchange of information is generated between both devices, label and reader.
El estándar NFC soporta dos modos de funcionamiento: modo activo y pasivo. En el NFC de modo activo, ambos dispositivos están equipados con fuentes de energía, por So que ambos son capaces de generar su propio campo electromagnético y utilizarlo para intercambiar información con otros dispositivos. En el NFC en modo pasivo, uno de los dispositivos, normalmente la etiqueta, no posee fuente de energía propia y, por tanto, necesita que e! segundo dispositivo, el lector genere el campo electromagnético en el que, mediante ía modulación de la carga, se intercambian los datos. En cuanto a las etiquetas tipo RF!D (siglas de Radio Frequency IDentification, en español identificación por radiofrecuencia) es un sistema de almacenamiento y recuperación de datos remoto que usa dispositivos denominados etiquetas, tarjetas, transpondedores o tags RFID. El propósito fundamental de la tecnología RFID es transmitir ia identidad de un objeto (similar a un número de serie único) mediante ondas de radio. Las tecnologías RFID se agrupan dentro de fas denominadas Auto !D (automatic Identification, o identificación automática). Las etiquetas RFID contienen antenas para permitirles recibir y responder a peticiones por radiofrecuencia desde un emisor-receptor RFID. Como en el caso anterior, existen etiquetas pasivas, que no necesitan alimentación eléctrica interna, y activas que sí la requieren. Una de las ventajas del uso de radiofrecuencia (en lugar, por ejempio, de infrarrojos) es que no se requiere visión directa entre emisor y receptor. The NFC standard supports two modes of operation: active and passive mode. In the active mode NFC, both devices are equipped with energy sources, so both are able to generate their own electromagnetic field and use it to exchange information with other devices. In the NFC in passive mode, one of the devices, usually the label, does not have its own energy source and therefore needs to be e! second device, the reader generates the electromagnetic field in which, by means of the modulation of the load, the data is exchanged. As for the RF! D type tags (Radio Frequency IDentification), it is a remote data storage and retrieval system that uses devices called RFID tags, cards, transponders or tags. The fundamental purpose of RFID technology is to transmit the identity of an object (similar to a unique serial number) using radio waves. RFID technologies are grouped into fas called Auto! D (automatic Identification). RFID tags contain antennas to allow them to receive and respond to requests by radio frequency from an RFID transmitter-receiver. As in the previous case, there are passive labels, which do not need internal power supply, and active labels that do require it. One of the advantages of the use of radiofrequency (instead, for example, of infrared) is that direct vision between transmitter and receiver is not required.
Hay que decir, sin embargo que, al menos por parte del solicitante, se desconoce la existencia de ningún otro sistema de detección de manipulación del cierre de un envase o contenedor que presente unas características técnicas y estructurales iguales o semejantes a las que presenta el que aquí se reivindica. It must be said, however, that, at least on the part of the applicant, the existence of any other tamper detection system for the closure of a container or container that has the same or similar technical and structural characteristics as the one presented by the applicant is unknown. here it is claimed.
EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN El sistema de detección de manipulación de un cierre de un envase o contenedor que la invención propone se configura pues como una novedad dentro de su campo de aplicación, estando los detalles caracterizado res que io distinguen convenientemente recogidos en las reivindicaciones finales que acompañan a !a presente descripción. Más concretamente, io que la invención propone, como se ha indicado anteriormente, es sistema de detección de manipulación de un cierre que comprende un cierre para envases, embalajes o contendores aplicable para llevar a cabo un procedimiento de detección de manipulación del dicho cierre que, comprendiendo preferentemente una etiqueta inteligente pasiva, NFC, RFID, o similar que emite y muestra información (por ejemplo siendo dicha información de tipo escrito en la pantalla del lector, o mediante sonido o multimedia o mediante ía capacidad de otros avisos como el vibrar o emitir luz o destellos luminosos del termina! lector ) de una base de datos al ser activada por un dispositivo iector compatible, por ejemplo Smartphone, tableta electrónica o similar, y un medio detector de manipulación, cuya activación por la manipulación del cierre del envase o contenedor determina que la información que emite la etiqueta varíe, se distingue básicamente por comprender, al menos dos zonas con elementos químicos y magnéticos que, en posición de no manipulación, no interaccionan entre si o con la atmósfera pero que, cuando se manipula el cierre, interaccionan entre sí o con la atmósfera generando una consecuencia que permite al usuario detectar tal manipulación del cierre, bien a simple vista o bien a través del dispositivo !ector. Más concretamente, la consecuencia que genera la interacción de dichos elementos al manipularse el cierre puede ser un cambio de color, que puede ser notable a simple vista o notable solo a través de un tipo de luz emitida por el propio dispositivo lector que estará dotado de la capacidad para emitirla con tal fin, o puede ser un cambio en la conductividad o campo magnético que, a su vez, determina el cambio en la información (por ejemplo siendo dicha información de tipo escrito en !a pantalla de! lector, o mediante sonido o multimedia o mediante la capacidad de otros avisos como el vibrar o emitir luz o destellos luminosos del terminal lector) que emite ía etiqueta, de manera que cuando el cierre no está manipulado da una información y cuando sí lo está da otra, para lo cual, preferentemente, al menos una de dichas zonas está en contacto con el medio detector de manipulación. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The tamper detection system of a closure of a container or container that the invention proposes is thus configured as a novelty within its field of application, the details being characterized which are conveniently distinguished in the final claims that accompany the present description. More specifically, what the invention proposes, as indicated above, is a tamper detection system of a closure comprising a closure for containers, packages or containers applicable to carry out a tamper detection method of said closure which, preferably comprising a passive smart tag, NFC, RFID, or the like that emits and displays information (for example such information being written on the reader's screen, or by means of sound or multimedia or by means of the capacity of other notices such as vibrating or emitting light or light flashes of the end (reader) of a database when activated by a compatible iector device, for example Smartphone, electronic tablet or similar, and a tamper detecting means, whose activation by manipulation of the closure of the container or container determines that the information issued by the label varies, is basically distinguished by understanding, at least two areas with chemical and magnetic elements that, in a non-manipulation position, do not interact with each other or with the atmosphere but, when the closure is manipulated, interact with each other or with the atmosphere generating a consequence that allows the user to detect such manipulation of the closure , either with the naked eye or through the device! ector. More specifically, the consequence generated by the interaction of said elements when the closure is manipulated can be a color change, which can be noticeable to the naked eye or noticeable only through a type of light emitted by the reader device itself that will be provided with the ability to emit it for that purpose, or it may be a change in the conductivity or magnetic field which, in turn, determines the change in the information (by example being said type information written on the screen of! reader, or through sound or multimedia or through the capacity of other warnings such as the vibrating or emitting light or light flashes of the reader terminal) that emits the label, so that when the closure is not manipulated it gives information and when it is another, for which, preferably, at least one of said zones is in contact with the tamper detecting means.

Para complementar la descripción que se está realizando y con objeto de ayudar a una mejor comprensión de las características de la invención, se acompaña a la presente memoria descriptiva, como parte integrante de la misma, un plano en el que con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo se ha representado lo siguiente: In order to complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a descriptive plan is attached as an integral part thereof, with an illustrative and non-limiting character The following has been represented:
La figura número 1 y única.- Muestra una vista esquemática en alzado de un ejemplo de cierre de envase o contenedor objeto de la invención, en concreto un tapón de frasco, apreciándose las partes y elementos que comprende. Figure 1 and only.- It shows a schematic elevation view of an example of a container or container closure object of the invention, in particular a bottle cap, the parts and elements comprising.
REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN A la vista de !a descrita figura 1 y única, y de acuerdo con la numeración adoptada en ella, se aprecia cómo el cierre (1 ) en cuestión, destinado a incorporarse en la embocadura o cierre de un envase o contenedor (2) de producto, presenta, ai menos, una etiqueta (3) inteligente pasiva, de tipo NFC, RFID, o similar, capaz de emitir, a través de una antena (3a) de !a que está provista, información de una base de datos al ser activada mediante un dispositivo lector (4) compatible, por ejemplo un dispositivo Smartphone, tableta o simiiar, estando dicha etiqueta (3) vinculada a un medio detector (5) de manipulación, cuya activación determina que la información que emite ia etiqueta (3) varíe. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION In view of the described figure 1 and unique, and in accordance with the numbering adopted therein, it can be seen how the closure (1) in question, intended to be incorporated in the opening or closure of a container or container (2) of The product, at least, presents a passive smart tag (3), of the NFC, RFID, or similar type, capable of emitting, through an antenna (3a) of which it is provided, information from a database at be activated by a compatible reader device (4), for example a Smartphone, tablet or similar device, said tag (3) being linked to a manipulation detector means (5), whose activation determines that the information emitted by the tag (3) ) vary.
Y, a partir de esta configuración ya conocida, el cierre (1 ) se distingue por comprender, al menos dos zonas (6, 6') con elementos químicos y o magnéticos que en posición de no manipulación no interaccionan, es decir, mientras la parte extraíble (1 a) y la parte fija ( b) dei cierre permanecen unidas, y, cuando el cierre (1) se manipula y dichas partes (1 a y 1 b) se separan interaccionan entre sí o con ia atmósfera generando una consecuencia que permite al usuario detectar ta! manipulación del cierre, bien a simple vista o bien a través del dispositivo electrónico. And, from this already known configuration, the closure (1) is distinguished by comprising at least two zones (6, 6 ') with chemical and magnetic elements that in non-manipulation position do not interact, that is, while the part removable (1 a) and the fixed part (b) of the closure remain attached, and, when the closure (1) is handled and said parts (1 a and 1 b) separate interact with each other or with the atmosphere generating a consequence that allows the user detect ta! closing manipulation, either with the naked eye or through the electronic device.
Para eüo, preferentemente, una primera zona (6) con elementos químicos y/o magnéticos abarca, al menos, una parte de la parte extraíble (1a) del cierre (1) y una segunda zona (6') abarca, al menos, una parte de la parte fija (1 b), de manera que al ser abierto el cierre y separadas ambas partes (1 a, 1 b), los elementos químicos/magnéticos las dos zonas (6, 6') interaccionan entre si o con ia atmósfera generando ia consecuencia que permite al usuario detectar la manipuiación del cierre . For this, preferably, a first zone (6) with chemical and / or magnetic elements encompasses at least a part of the removable part (1a) of the closure (1) and a second zone (6 ') encompasses at least a part of the fixed part (1 b), so that when the closure is opened and both parts (1 a, 1 b) are separated, the chemical / magnetic elements the two zones (6, 6 ') interact with each other or with The atmosphere generating the consequence that allows the user to detect the manipulation of the closure.
Por su parte, la consecuencia que genera ia interacción de dichos elementos entre si o con la atmósfera a! manipularse el cierre dependerá del tipo de elemento, consistiendo, preferentemente, en lo siguiente: On the other hand, the consequence generated by the interaction of these elements with each other or with the atmosphere a! handle the closure will depend of the type of element, preferably consisting of the following:
- en cambio de la composición química de las zonas (6, 6') que preferentemente provoca un cambio de color de las zonas (6, 6') cuando se trate de elementos o sustancias químicas, que puede ser notable a simple vista o notable a través de un tipo de luz específica emitida por el dispositivo lector (4) activada por una APP, debido a que, al romperse o separarse ambas partes (1a, 1b) de cierre (1), las sustancias químicas de una primera zona (6) se mezclan con las de ia segunda zona (6') e interactúan o interactúan con la atmósfera, por ejemplo, se oxidan, cambian de color o rugosidad; - instead of the chemical composition of the zones (6, 6 ') that preferably causes a color change of the zones (6, 6') in the case of chemical elements or substances, which may be noticeable to the naked eye or noticeable through a specific type of light emitted by the reader device (4) activated by an APP, because, when breaking or separating both parts (1a, 1b) of closure (1), the chemical substances of a first zone ( 6) mix with those of the second zone (6 ') and interact or interact with the atmosphere, for example, they oxidize, change color or roughness;
- o puede ser un cambio en la conductividad o campo magnético cuando se trate de elementos magnéticos, debido a que, al romperse ambas partes (1 a, 1 b) los elementos magnéticos de una y otra zonas (6, 6') se alteran en su campo magnético, lo cual, a su vez, determina el cambio en la información que emite la etiqueta (3) con la que una o ambas de dichas zonas (6, 6') están en contacto, bien directamente o bien a través del medio detector (5). - or it can be a change in the conductivity or magnetic field in the case of magnetic elements, because, when breaking both parts (1 a, 1 b) the magnetic elements of both areas (6, 6 ') are altered in its magnetic field, which, in turn, determines the change in the information issued by the label (3) with which one or both of said zones (6, 6 ') are in contact, either directly or through of the detector means (5).
En cualquiera de ambos casos, aunque se vuelva a cerrar el cierre (1) del envase uniendo de nuevo la parte extraíbies (1a) con la parte fija (1 b), se detectará la manipulación por ejemp!o gracias el cambio de color, olor o otras características físicas o el cambio en el campo magnético de las zonas (6, 6') con elementos químicos y/o magnéticos. In either case, even if the closure (1) of the container is closed again by rejoining the extrabibular part (1a) with the fixed part (1 b), the manipulation will be detected by example, or thanks to the color change, odor or other physical characteristics or the change in the magnetic field of the zones (6, 6 ') with chemical and / or magnetic elements.
Cabe señalar que, en la opción en que las zonas (6, 6') incluyen elementos químicos, y la consecuencia de la manipulación genera un cambio de color que solo es notable a través del dispositivo lector (4), ello podrá captarse gracias a que la cámara del dispositivo lector (4), smartphone, tableta o similar, detecta el cambio en la longitud de onda al fotografiar el cierre. It should be noted that, in the option in which the zones (6, 6 ') include chemical elements, and the consequence of the manipulation generates a color change that is only noticeable through the reading device (4), this can be captured thanks to that the camera of the reader device (4), smartphone, tablet or similar, it detects the change in wavelength when photographing the closure.
Por otra parte, la etiqueta (3) incorpora una base de datos con información o permite el acceso a una base de datos externa con información por ejemplo siendo dicha información de tipo escrito en ia pantalla deí lector, o tipo sonora mediante sonido o multimedia o de otro tipo tal como vibración o emisión luz o destellos luminosos en el terminal lector. On the other hand, the label (3) incorporates a database with information or allows access to an external database with information, for example said information being written on the screen of the reader, or sound type by means of sound or multimedia or otherwise such as vibration or light emission or light flashes on the reader terminal.
El tipo de información que emite ía etiqueta está determinada por el medio detector (5) de manipulación las zonas (6, 6') del cierre (1 ) de tal modo que cuando las zonas (6, 6') del cierre (1) no hayan sido manipuladas, la etiqueta deje de emitir información, o bien emita una información diferente dependiendo de si las zonas (6, 6') deí cierre (1 ) han sido manipuladas o no, es decir que, mientras el cierre (1) no ha sido manipulado emite un primer tipo de información y tras la rotura del cierre (1 ), emite un segundo tipo de información. The type of information emitted by the label is determined by the manipulating detector means (5) the zones (6, 6 ') of the closure (1) such that when the zones (6, 6') of the closure (1) have not been manipulated, the label stops issuing information, or it emits different information depending on whether the zones (6, 6 ') of that closure (1) have been manipulated or not, that is, while the closure (1) it has not been manipulated, it emits a first type of information and after the breakage of the closure (1), it emits a second type of information.
El medio detector puede ser por ejemplo un sensor que capte un cambio en la composición química o magnetismo al menos una de las zonas (6, 6'). The detector means can be, for example, a sensor that captures a change in the chemical composition or magnetism at least one of the zones (6, 6 ').
Por su parte, dicho información puede consistir en mensajes de tipo audio visual, mostrados a través de la pantalla del dispositivo lector, y de manera alternativa o complementaria, en mensajes únicamente de audio. Con todo elio, el objetivo de la invención es proporcionar al mercado un medio práctico para que cualquier consumidor pueda, mediante la lectura con su smartphone o tableta, detectar si el producto que quiere adquirir es original, está intacto y sin empezar y que no ha sido indebidamente manipulado, a! mismo tiempo que también cualquier distribuidor puede hacer la misma comprobación de cada uno de los productos con los que comercia para dar garantía de segundad a sus clientes. On the other hand, said information may consist of visual audio messages, shown through the screen of the reading device, and alternatively or complementary, only audio messages. However, the objective of the invention is to provide the market with a practical means for any consumer to, by reading with their smartphone or tablet, detect if the product they want to purchase is original, is intact and without starting and that has not been unduly manipulated, a! at the same time that any distributor can also do the same check of each of the products with which trade to give security assurance to its customers.
