Abstract

The present invention provides a marking device for edible articles, which is a device (1) for forming a marking pattern on the edible articles by scanning laser spots, wherein the marking pattern comprises additional information of position information of removed index points (I1) obtained by removing a part of points on a basic pattern obtained by forming a plurality of laser spots. The marking device for edible articles can contain a large amount of information without causing discomfort to consumers, and is also effective as a counterfeit-proof measure. The index point (I1) may be a point in which a part of the points is deformed or a point to be newly added.

Description

Edible article marked by laser, marking device and marking information reading system Technical Field The present invention relates to an edible item identification device, an edible item identified by a laser, and an edible item identification information reading system. Background In the related art, it is performed to add specific information such as a manufacturing date and a manufacturing lot to edible articles such as tablets and capsules. For example, patent document 1 discloses a drug with a two-dimensional data code, and the two-dimensional data code including information such as usage, storage method, date of manufacture, and lifetime of the drug is recorded on the surface of the drug. Prior art literature Patent literature Patent document 1 Japanese patent laid-open No. 8-712 Disclosure of Invention Technical problem to be solved by the invention In the above-mentioned two-dimensional data code-containing pharmaceutical composition, a large amount of information can be recorded in a small space on the surface of the pharmaceutical composition, and on the other hand, unlike characters, the pharmaceutical composition is likely to cause discomfort to the tablet itself because of the mechanical pattern that makes it difficult for the consumer to understand the content. Further, since a general two-dimensional data code can be easily grasped by any person using a general reading device, there is a problem that the manufacture of a counterfeit medicine cannot be effectively prevented. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an edible article marking device, a laser-marked edible article, and an edible article marking information reading system that can contain a large amount of information without giving a sense of discomfort to consumers, and that is also effective as a tamper-proof measure. Means for solving the problems The above object of the present invention can be achieved by a marking device for an edible object, which is a device for forming a marking pattern on an edible object by scanning a laser spot, wherein the marking pattern includes, as additional information, position information of an index point to be deformed, removed or added by deforming or removing or adding a new point to a basic pattern obtained by forming a plurality of points of the laser spot. In the edible object marking device, the additional information may be information based on the number of points from the reference point of the mark of the basic pattern to the reference point. The identification pattern may have a plurality of basic patterns, and each of the basic patterns may include the unique additional information. The basic pattern may be any of a letter, a number, a graphic, or a symbol. As this specific example, the basic pattern may be a non-verbal expression (expression/expression) of at least one of the part or organ of the human body that expresses the efficacy of the edible item or the efficacy of the edible item. The above object of the present invention can be achieved by an edible article marked with a laser beam, in which a marking pattern is formed by scanning a laser beam spot, and the marking pattern is formed by deforming a part of the spot or removing or adding a new spot to a basic pattern obtained by forming a plurality of spots of the laser beam spot, and the positional information of the deformed, removed or added index spot is included as additional information. The object of the present invention can be achieved by an identification information reading system for an edible article, which is a device for reading the additional information of the edible article identified by a laser beam, the device including an imaging unit for imaging the identification pattern of the edible article, a control unit for acquiring the additional information based on the imaging data of the identification pattern, and a display unit for displaying output information based on the extracted (acquired) additional information. The identification information reading system further includes an identification information storage unit that stores identification information including information on a formation order of dots constituting the basic pattern, and the control unit refers to the identification information and obtains the additional information based on a number of dots from a reference point of the identification of the basic pattern to the reference point.
