Information authentication gateway, information acquisition system and method using the same

Abstract

It is possible to provide an information authentication gateway used when acquiring information on an object according to hierarchical position information contained in an information code attached to the object. The information authentication gateway includes: metadata storage means for storing metadata indicating an entire hierarchical structure in which basic semantic units are shown; hierarchical position information acquisition means for reading an information code attached to an object by a reader and receiving hierarchical information included therein from a user terminal capable of transmitting / receiving information to / from the reader; information comparison means for performing a comparison to decide whether the received hierarchical position information is included in the metadata stored in the metadata storage means; ; and ticket issuing means used when the information comparison means indicates that the information is included, for passing information required to access a server storing the information corresponding the hierarchical position information to the user terminal.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to an information authentication gateway, an information acquisition system and an information acquisition method using the information authentication gateway used to acquire information on an item based on hierarchical position information included in an information code attached to the item. Background technique [0002] Currently, there are various information storage methods for encoding and recording information such as barcode or two-dimensional code information, information stored in an IC tag (hereinafter referred to as "information code") (Patent Document 1, etc.). Such information codes are used in various aspects of daily life, for example, as shown in the following patent document 2, for delivery address labels for home delivery items, or as shown in patent document 3, for the process of factory-produced products. manage. [0003] In order to obtain information from the server with such an information code,...

Problems solved by technology

In this way, when wanting to know the attribute information related to a product—for example, a TV set, in the past, only the identification information of the TV set as a finished product is stored in the information code, although it is possible to know the attribute information related to the TV set as a finished product. Relevant attribute information - such as manufacturer, model, etc., but the attribute information of the components that make up the TV cannot be obtained from the manufacturers of each component
