SECURITY MAINTENANCE BY READING ARRANGEMENT
OF FINE PARTICLES HAVING RANDOM DISTRIBUTION
CONTAINED IN FINE PARTICLE LIQUID Technical Field
[1] This disclosure relates to a seal security device and system capableof sealing an entrance and products and detecting whether or not secrecy is maintained, and more particularly, to a device and system capable of sealing a room or a safe requiring security maintenance where a document requiring secrecy is stored or a place where devices capable of photographing and storing such as a mobile phone are not allowed, and determining whether or not opening is performed.
[2]
Background Art
[3] Generally, in many cases, a place where a document requiring security maintenance is stored is provided with a locking device such as a lock to restrict an access to the place. However, an unlockingdevice for the locking device can be copied to unlock the locking device. Therefore, when contents are acquiredby copying and photographing after accessing the place requiring security, and the locking device and the information requiring security maintenance are restored in the original state, the leakage of the security information cannot be easily detected.
[4] Unlessthe leakage of the information is perceived, there are problems in that a proper response to the information leakage may be delayed and it is difficult to minimize loss.
[5] In addition, although devices such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) system is installed, checking contents recorded by the CCTV for security checking is very inconvenient, and there is a problem in that time and cost are required for installing and operating the devices.
[6] An existing sticker used for sealing products which can take photos and store them such as a mobile phone or a portable storage is damaged into a particular shape along a cutting line when removed or shows specific charactersthereby determining whether or not the photographing and storing devices are opened. However, the methods have problems in that when the same type of sticker as the sticker used for sealing isattached after removing the existing sticker, whether or not opening is performed cannot be determined.

[27] A seal security device 500 according to an embodiment has a main body 200 including a control circuit for the seal security device 500, an information detecting device for fine particles 10, and a power supply device. The main body 200 further includes an operating button unit 110 which is formed on a side of the outer appearance of the main body 200 to control seal security checking, a sensing unit 130 which is formed at a lower end of the main body 200 to detect the arrangement of the fine particles 10 of a seal containing the fine particles, and a display window 120 which displays detection results of the sensing unit 130.
[28] The security device is configured so that a fine particle liquid 20 containing the fine particles 10, which is stored in a container 300 of the seal security device 500, is applied to a gap at a boundary 600 between a door and a wall through an outlet opening 206 formed on a side of the container 300, and the arrangement of the fine particles 10 in the fine particle liquid 20 is scanned and stored to be used for comparison of the stored fine particles 10 thereby determining secrecy maintenance.

A material which solidifies like rubber when the fine particle liquid 20 is exposed to the external environment is used.
[30] Here, the fine particles 10 contained in the fine particle liquid 20 reflect light or exhibit magnetic properties such that the arrangement of the fine particles 10 are identified by means of reflected signal light or magnetic inspection.
[31] The arrangement of the fine particles 10 contained in the fine particle liquid 20 is determined differently whenever the fine particle liquid 20 is ejected.
[32] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[33] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the seal security device of the seal security system according to the embodiment. FIG. 2 is a view illustrating a cap of the seal security device of the seal security system according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a side view illustrating a container with the cap of the seal security device of the seal security system according to the embodiment.
[34] As illustrated in the figures, the main body 200 formed on the side of the container
300 which stores the fine particle liquid 20 includes the seal security device control circuit, the device for detecting the arrangement information on the fine particles 10, and the power supply device therein.
[35] In addition, on the side surface of the main body 200, the rectangular sensing unit
130 for detecting the arrangement information on the fine particles 10 by means of the reflected signallight and the magnetic inspection is disposed. On a side of the upper surface of the main body 200, the rectangular display window 120 which displays information on comparison results of the fine particles 10 andselection menus is provided. On the same surface as the display window 120, the operating button unit 110 for controlling the seal security device is disposed.
[36] Here, the operating button unit 110 is provided with a scanning button 111 for controlling the scanning of the fine particles 10, a storing button 112 for controllingthe storing of the information on the fine particles 10 beside the scanning button 111, a deleting button 113 for controlling the deleting of the arrangement information on the scanned fine particles 10 beside the storing button 112, a comparing button 114 for controlling the comparing of the information on the fine particles 10 beside the deleting button 113, a selecting button 115 for controlling the selecting of the arrangement information on the stored fine particles 10 beside the comparingbutton 114, and a power button 116 for controlling power ON/OFF above the selecting button 115.
[37] In addition, at a side surface of the main body 200, an engagement groove portion
140 with which the container 300 can be engaged is provided, and at a side surface of the container 300, a T-shaped engagement portion 202 is formed to be engaged with the engagement groove portion 140. The container 300 that is provided on the side of the main body 200 stores the fine particleliquid 20. At a side of the container 300, the outlet opening 206 for discharging the fine particle liquid 20 is provided. In addition, a groove portion 204 which is provided at an outer peripheral surface of the container 300 on a side of the container 300 is inserted into and engaged with a cap 400 illustrated in FIG. Ib, thereby covering the outlet opening 206.
[38] Here, the cap 400 which is mounted at the side of the container 300 is used for preventing the fine particle liquid 20 from contacting the outside or flowing out ac- cidently through the outlet 206. The cap 400 has a triangular shape and is provided to be detachable from the outlet 206.
[39] When the fine particle liquid 20 which is to be ejected from the container 300 is depleted, the engagement portion 202 is pushed to be separated from the engagement groove portion 140, and a new container 300 is provided.
[40] In order to check the security maintenance by using the seal security device having the aforementioned configuration's illustrated in FIG. 4, an applying step SlO of applying the fine particle liquid 20 to the boundary 600 between the door and a door frameby using the fine particle liquid 20 as a seal, a scanning step S20 of detecting the information on the fine particles 10 of the applied seal, a storing step S30 of storing the arrangementof the fine particles 10 of the applied seal in a storage included in the main body 200, and a determining step S40 of performing comparison and determining where or not the arrangement is changed by scanning the arrangement information on the fine particles 10 when the security checking is needed, are performed.
[41] In the applying step SlO, the fine particle liquid 20 is ejected through the outlet 23 by pressing the container 300, thefine particle liquid 20 is applied to the boundary 600 between the door and the door frame as illustrated in FIG. 5, and the seal security device 500 scans the fine particles 10 of the fine particle liquid 20 alonga direction to read the information on the fine particles 10.
[42] In the scanning step S20 of reading the arrangementor the positions of the fine particles 10, the power supply of the seal security device 500 is turned on, and the sensing unit 130 is moved to approach the upper surface of the sealcontaining the fine particles 10. Thereafter, the sensing unit 130 is moved down in the lengthwise direction while the scanning button 111 is pushed, thereby detecting the information on the fine particles 10.
[43] As illustrated in FIG. 6, as the information on the seal containing the fine particles
10, the seal is divided into 8 sections, froma to h, and the information on each section of the fine particles 10 with a random distribution is read. The sections a to h may further be divided if necessary.
[44] In addition, as a method of reading the information on each section, when the fine particles 10 which reflect light are used, a laser-beam scanning unit included in the sensing unit 130 irradiatesa scanning beam, a light detecting unit performs photoelectric conversion on an optical signal collected by a light collecting unit for collecting the reflected signal light, and a binary code circuit unit quantifies the converted signal as a binary code.
[45] When the scanning is completed, the pushed state of the scanning button is released, thereby completing the scanning step S20. In the storing step S30, when the storing button 112 is pushed, a storing number is displayed on the display window 120, and the information on the detected reflected signal light is stored in the storage included in the main body 200.
[46] In the determining step S40, when the security maintenance checking is needed, the selecting button 115 is repeatedly pushed, and storage numbers about the arrangement information on the fine particles 10 are sequentially displayed on the display window 120. When the storage number about the arrangement of the fine particles 10 needed for the comparison is displayed, the selecting button 115 is pushed to select the storage number. Thereafter, the scanning button 111 is pushed to scan the arrangement information on the fine particles 10 at the time of checking in the same manner to be compared with the stored arrangement information on the fine particles 10.
[47] In consideration of an error that may occur duringscanning in the comparison method of the arrangement information on the fine particles 10, when a 90% match is determined, "Match" is displayed on the display window 102, and otherwise, "Mismatch "is displayed on the display window 102.
[48] As described above, primarily, when the fine particle liquid 20 containing the fine particles 10, which is applied to a place requiring security maintenanceand solidifies, is deviated from the gap of the door, it is determined that access is attempted, and the access can be identified by the naked eye. When the fine particle liquid 20 containing the fine particles 10 which is applied to a space to be secured is not deviatedat the time of determining security, a match is determined when the fine particles 10 in the fine particle liquid 20 arescanned by the seal security device 500. Then, it is determined that the security is maintained.
[49] The fine particles 10 contained in the fine particle liquid 20 may be preparedby using a material which exhibits magnetic properties or reflects light or iron. In addition, the material of the fine particles 10 may be a material which is more appropriate for magnetic inspection and optical sensing.
[50] When the fine particles 10 which exhibit magnetic properties are used for sealing, the sensing unit 130 includes a device for detecting magnetic propertiesby using a magnetic detecting unit. The magnetic detecting unit includes a thin film of a ferromagnetic reluctance element made of a ferromagnetic material and a substrate on which the thin film is formed, and detects a change in voltage, based on a change in resistance of the ferromagnetic reluctance element,as the magnitude of the magnetic properties of the fine particles 10.
[51] When the fine particles 10 are made of iron which does not exhibit magnetic properties or reflect light, the sensing unit 130 is constructed to exhibit magnetic properties so that the fine particles 10 made of iron can be allowed to respond to the magnetic properties in order to be detected.
[52] Hereinafter, another embodiment of a seal security device will be described with reference to FIG. 7. The seal security device according to the another embodiment includes a main body 200, a sticker 510 including a fixed film 503 having fine particles 10 on the upper surface and an adhesive surface 501 on the lower surface, and a protective film 505 for protecting the fine particles 10 at the upper surface of the fixed film 503, and a keeping paper 550 which is adhered to the lower surface of the sticker 510 to protect the adhesive surface 501 of the fixed film 503. [53] The fine particles 10 formed on the upper surface of the fixed film 503 are manufactured to have a random arrangement, ad the fine particles 10 may be made of the same material as the material of the aforesaid embodiment. In addition, the sticker 510 adhered to the upper surface of the keeping paper 550 is coated with a vinyl material so as to be easily detached.
[54] In addition, the adhesive surface 501 of the fixed film 503 is adhered to a coated surface on the upper surface of the keeping paper 550 and maybe easily detached from the keeping paper 550. However, when the adhesive surface 501 is removed after being adhered to places other than the keeping paper 550, it is damaged due to strong adhesion to the adhered places and cannot be adheredagain.
[55] In addition, on the upper surface of the fixed film 503, the protective film 505 is adhered in order to prevent the fine particles 10 from deviating from the sticker 510 freely and changing its arrangement.
[56] In order to check the security maintenance by using the seal security device having the aforementioned configuration, in an applying step SlO, the sticker 510 is used as the seal for a place requiring a seal, and is detached from the keeping paper 550. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the sticker 510 is adhered to a boundary 600 of the place requiring sealing such as a container, drawer, door, and a storage medium 700 where opening and closing are performed. In addition to the applying step SlO, a scanning step S20, a storing step S30, and a determining step S40 are performed as in the aforesaid embodiment.
[57] When sealing is completed by using the system, the seal is removed in order to use the sealed entrance or apparatus. When sealing is required again, the seal security system is performed again by using the seal security device.
[58]
