Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To authenticate an ownership relating to a product/service managed by an identifier such as RFID while keeping security for the product/service. SOLUTION: The present invention provides an apparatus for authenticating an ownership using an identifier of a product, first identification information for authenticating an ownership held in a terminal of an owner authorized for the product, and second identification information for authenticating the right for the identifier of the product stored in a product database (DB). The apparatus comprises: a means for receiving the identifier and the first identification information; a means for acquiring the second identification information from the product DB; and a means for determining whether authorized or not from the first identification information and the second identification information. A hash value obtained by a unidirectional hash function is used as an identification key of the identification information. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a server for accessing the information of tagged articles which is prevented from being grasped by a tag reader set in a public space without sacrificing traceability. SOLUTION: The server 103 includes a receiving means for receiving an encrypted ID included in the tag related to the articles scanned by using the tag reader, a transmitting means for transmitting a request which includes the encrypted ID and requests the network address of the second server 107 storing the information of the articles related to the tag to the first server 106, a receiving means for receiving the network address of the second server returned by the third server 105 according to the network address request from the first server generated by using article ID obtained by decoding the encrypted ID, and a transmitting means for transmitting the request for requesting the information of the articles to the second server by using the network address of the second server.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently manage trace information to be collected from each process of a process chain. SOLUTION: This traceability system is provided with a process instance generating part for generating a process instance for reproducing information concerning an event based on the execution conditions of the event by associating the process instance with a realistic event for executing a process, a trace information pointer storing part for storing a pointer showing the recording destination of trace information recorded with the execution conditions in the process instance and a preceding process instance pointer storing part for storing a preceding process instance pointer for identifying the process instance corresponding to the realistic event for supplying a product obtained as the result of the execution of the preceding process just before the process for the event corresponding to the process instance by associating it with the process instance.

Abstract:
The invention provides a method for accessing information on an article with a tag attached thereon, the method making it possible to prevent information on article worn by an individual from being grasped with a tag reader installed in a public space, without sacrificing traceability and without involving much increase in cost, a local server, an ONS proxy, a program, a tag creation method, a tag writer and a tag writer control program. According to the invention, there is provided a method for providing access to information on articles associated with tags in a network system including a local server, an ONS proxy, an ONS server and at least one PML server, the method comprising the steps of: the local server reading, by using a tag reader connected to the local server, the data stored in a tag including at least one encrypted virtual ID; the local server sending an ONS service request including the virtual ID to the ONS proxy; the ONS proxy acquiring an article ID by decrypting the virtual ID by use of a key K; the ONS proxy generating, by using the article ID, a network address request for acquiring the network address of a PML server in which the information on article associated with the tag is stored, to send the request to the ONS server; the local server receiving the network address of a PML server which the ONS server has returned in response to the network address request; the local server sending, by using the network address of a PML server, a PML service request including the virtual ID to the PML server; and the PML server providing access to the information on article associated with the tag, which has been specified with the article ID acquired by decrypting the virtual ID by use of the key K, for the local server.

Abstract:
A method and system for providing access to information on an article to which a tag is coupled. A local server reads the tag containing a virtual ID that includes an encryption of a bit string. The bit string includes an article ID containing a manufacturer ID. The local server is coupled to an ONS server, an ONS proxy server, and a PML server via a network. The local server sends to the ONS proxy server an ONS service request that includes the virtual ID and requests a network address of the PML server. The local server receives, from the ONS server, the network address of the PML server. The local server sends to the PML server, at the network address of the PML server, a PML information request that includes the virtual ID and requests article information. The local server receives, from the PML server, the article information.
