Consumers download the CheckVN application to their Smartphone and authenticate whether the product or goods are genuine or not, through the authentication stamp affixed to the product or goods. Through the camera, consumers scan the authentication stamp to get accurate information about the product. CheckVN will display information about the product committed by the manufacturer through the first authentication layer. After knowing the information committed by the manufacturer, consumers scratch off the first layer of the stamp to authenticate the second layer of the stamp. CheckVN will continue to support consumers in tracing the origin of the goods and immediately respond at the time of authentication, whether the product or goods the consumer is checking is genuine or not. When authenticating the product, CheckVN will notify consumers of the following information: - "The product is not in the IDE protection system!" is the case where this product is not protected by IDE, which means the product is not genuine. - "The product has been sold! Please check again" is the case where the product has been sold before, consumers carefully check the product ownership information such as the authentication time and the product owner. If the consumer scratches off the authentication layer under the code layer for the first time and the system replies "The product has been sold! Please check again" and the displayed authentication time does not match the time the consumer authenticates, the product the consumer is checking is not genuine. - Display product information if the product the consumer is checking is in the IDE protection system. - Display the "THV" (Proud of Vietnamese product brand) sign with the message "Product protected by IDE!" which means that the product the consumer is authenticating is a genuine product because the manufacturer registered to protect the product brand in the "Anti-counterfeiting authentication process".
