System and method for preventing illegal copy
Disclosed herein is an illegal copy prevention system and method. In short, an anti-copy prevention system of the present invention includes, a chipless RFID disk having a print layer distributed with metal fibers; an Optical Disk Drive (ODD) reading, recorded information when mounted with the chipless RFID disk; and a reader installed in the disk drive to sense whether metal fibers distributed at the printed layer exists and a unique ID contained in the metal fiber.
1. An anti-copy prevention system, comprising:
a chipless RFID disk having a print layer distributed with metal fibers;
an Optical Disk Drive (ODD) reading recorded information when mounted with the chipless RFID disk; and
a reader installed in the ODD to sense whether the metal fibers distributed at the printed layer exist and to sense a unique ID contained in the metal fibers,
wherein the chipless RFID disk comprises:
a substrate having a first region and a second region;
a reflecting layer formed on the first region of the substrate; and
a protective layer formed on the reflecting layer,
wherein a central area of the substrate has a through hole formed therethrough,
wherein the second region is a surrounding area of the through hole,
wherein the print layer is formed on the second region of the substrate,
wherein a first side surface of the print layer is in direct physical contact with a first side surface of the reflecting layer and a first side surface of the protective layer,
wherein the first side surface of the print layer comprises a first part contacted with the first side surface of the reflecting layer and a second part contacted with the first side surface of the protective layer,
wherein a second side surface of the print layer is exposed to an outside by the through hole,
wherein a top surface of the print layer is exposed to an outside,
wherein a bottom surface of the print layer is in direct physical contact with a top surface of the substrate,
wherein the first region is a recorded region and the second region is an unrecorded region, and
wherein the first side surface of the print layer, the first side surface of the reflecting layer, and the first side surface of the protective layer are a boundary line between the first region and the second region.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the chipless RFID disk is one of a CD (Compact Disc), a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), a BD (Blu-ray Disc), and a HD-DVD (High Definition Digital Versatile Disc).
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the metal fibers have a shape thin in thickness and long in length, or have at least one of a curved or intersected shape.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein each of the metal fibers comprises a textile fiber and a metal layer coating the textile fiber, or comprises a metal fiber of a single material.
5. An anti-copy prevention method, comprising:
mounting a chipless RFID disk having a print layer distributed with metal fibers, on a disk drive installed with a reader;
reading the chipless RFID disk by the reader;
determining, as a result of reading the chipless RFID disk, whether the metal fibers in the chipless RFID disk exist;
recognizing an ID contained in the metal fibers of the chipless RFID disk, when the metal fibers exist in the chipless RFID disk;
determining whether the contained ID is a lawful ID; and
reading the disk using the disk drive when the contained ID is lawful,
wherein the chipless RFID disk comprises:
a substrate having a first region and a second region;
a reflecting layer formed on the first region of the substrate; and
a protective layer formed on the reflecting layer,
wherein a central area of the substrate has a through hole formed therethrough,
wherein the second region is a surrounding area of the through hole,
wherein the print layer is formed on the second region of the substrate,
wherein a first side surface of the print layer is in direct physical contact with a first side surface of the reflecting layer and a first side surface of the protective layer,
wherein the first side surface of the print layer comprises a first part contacted with the first side surface of the reflecting layer and a second part contacted with the first side surface of the protective layer,
wherein a second side surface of the print layer is exposed to an outside by the through hole,
wherein a top surface of the print layer is exposed to an outside,
wherein a bottom surface of the print layer is in direct physical contact with a top surface of the substrate,
wherein the first region is a recorded region and the second region is an unrecorded region, and
wherein the first side surface of the print layer, the first side surface of the reflecting layer, and the first side surface of the protective layer are a boundary line between the first region and the second region.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the bottom surface of the print layer lies in the same plane as a bottom surface of the reflecting layer, and wherein the top surface of the print layer lies in the same plane as a top surface of the protective layer.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the bottom surface of the print layer lies in the same plane as a bottom surface of the reflecting layer.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the print layer lies in the same plane as a top surface of the protective layer.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a second side surface of the print layer is exposed to an outside by the through hole.
