Research And Application Of Cosmetic Anti-counterfeiting System Based On Web Of Things

Along with our country economy sustained and rapid development, the rapid rise of cosmetic industry in China, and China became the world’s eighth largest cosmetics consumer market. According to statistics, from 2012 to 2016, our country cosmetics sales annual compound growth rate of 9%, market capacity reach 312 billion yuan by 2016. Under the drive of huge benefits, illegal businessmen desperations, trample the law, making and selling fake and inferior cosmetics to profiteering. A large number of fake cosmetics flow into market, seriously interfere with the normal cosmetics market order, damage the interests of the brand and cosmetics manufacturers, at the same time, fake and inferior cosmetic damage to the consumer health. To curb counterfeit and shoddy products, cosmetics manufacturers invested a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources for anti-counterfeiting work, but the effect is not ideal. Today’s anti-counterfeiting technology is mainly based on traditional anti-counterfeiting means, namely by printing technology and materials into different anti-counterfeit labels or packaging, so as to achieve the aim of differentiate from replicas. Traditional anti-counterfeiting technology dependent on printing and material technology too much, with the development of modern printing technology and the development of new materials, counterfeiting technology threshold is more and more low, the traditional security cannot meet the demand of market. Using traditional anti-counterfeiting technology increase the enterprise cost, at the same time it also set a higher threshold to distinguish authenticity. Some consumers are hard to identify.Aimed at the problems existing in the traditional anti-counterfeiting technology applied in cosmetics, based on the intelligent mobile phone Android operating system, connecting with the QR code, digital encryption technology, WoT technology, design and develop a QR code anti-counterfeiting system used in cosmetics. The system to provide the only identity ID code for cosmetics, add the ID and the product information corresponding to the security database, after encryption by algorithm product ID encoded and generated QR code image. Then printing QR code image to the product packaging or made into anti-counterfeiting labels. For each unique product there is an unique identity ID connect with. Consumers scan QR code using smart-phones can judge the authenticity of a cosmetics immediately.Finally summarized the research results in this paper, the cosmetics anti-counterfeiting system was discussed, and put forward the unsolved problem.
