  • Patent number: 6304713
    Abstract: An optical fiber seal verifying system includes an optical pattern generation unit for reading the optical pattern of an optical fiber seal in sealing and verification and generating first and second optical pattern data corresponding to the sealing and verification, respectively, a seal number input unit for inputting a unique seal number for identifying the optical fiber seal, a memory unit for recording the optical pattern data generated by the optical pattern generation unit together with the seal number input by the seal number input unit, a processor unit for reading the first optical pattern data recorded in the memory unit in verifying the optical fiber seal and the second optical pattern data recorded in the memory unit in sealing the optical fiber seal corresponding to the seal number on the basis of the seal number recorded in the memory unit and comparing the first and second optical pattern data with each other to calculate the concordance ratio, and a display unit for displaying the calculation
