Management and Control Electronic System Particularly for Checking Articles Provided With an Identification Code
First Claim
1. Electronic management and check system allowing for checking items authenticity, wherein a central system comprises a data storage system and data processing means,wherein the data storage system electronically stores item codes each being adapted to identify an item in an unambiguous way, andposition codes each being adapted to identify in an unambiguous way a shop, the data storage system storing for each item an item code and a position code, whereby said position codes and said item codes contained in the data storage system allow to know where each item must be, andwherein the data processing means are adapted to receive a data string being organized in such a way as to separately identify an item code and a position code of an item to be checked, and to interrogate said data storage system for performing a comparison between the codes contained in said data string and the codes contained in said storage system so as to check the authenticity of the item.

Abstract
An electronic management and check system is described, wherein a central system comprises a data storage system adapted to electronically store item codes used for identifying an item in an unambiguous way, as well as data processing means adapted to interrogate said data storage system and to interface with external communication systems. The invention is characterized in that said data storage system comprises memory areas containing position codes adapted to identify in an unambiguous way a position of said item, and in that said data processing means are adapted to receive a data string being organized in such a way as to separately identify an item code and a position code as well as to perform a comparison between the codes contained in said data string and the codes contained in said storage system.
