Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Fake Product Detection System Using Blockchain And Iot Technology
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Consumers may purchase counterfeit items inadvertently, believing them to be real. Counterfeit items may be of poor quality, pose a risk to one's health or safety, and fail to fulfil regulatory requirements. Consumers may waste their money on counterfeit goods, believing they are purchasing genuine goods. Counterfeit goods are frequently marketed at reduced costs, enticing shoppers with seeming savings. Consumers, on the other hand, wind up with low-quality or useless items, resulting in financial losses.
US8055633B2 A method of duplicate detection for data items in a stream of data items, the method comprising the steps of: receiving a data item from the stream of data items; applying at least two different hashing algorithms to the data item to generate hash keys that identify elements in a first bloom filter data structure having a plurality of elements; checking a state of each of the identified elements to determine if the data item is a potential duplicate, the determination depending on whether the identified elements are indicated as having been also identified for a previous data item received from the stream; and in response to the determination that the data item is a potential duplicate, checking an index of hash keys to determine if at least one of the generated hash keys exists in the index to identify the data item as an actual duplicate.
Research Gap: The technology improves product authenticity verification, allowing consumers to select genuine items with confidence. This decreases the danger of acquiring counterfeit products while also ensuring that customers receive the quality and safety they expect.
CN106434871B The present invention provides compositions, devices and methods for detecting one or more nucleic acid targets present in a sample. The methods of the invention include the use of two or more ligation probes that reversibly bind tightly to each other target nucleic acids and have complementary reactive ligation moieties. When these probes have bound to the target in the proper orientation, they can undergo a spontaneous chemical ligation reaction to give a ligation product, which is detected directly, or amplified to produce amplicons, which are then detected. The present invention also provides methods to stabilize sample RNA so that degradation does not significantly affect the results of the analysis.
Research Gap: Transparency and traceability are provided across the supply chain through IoT devices and blockchain technology. Stakeholders can trace the product's route from manufacture through distribution to sale, assuring accountability and lowering the likelihood of counterfeit items entering the market.
