  • Patent number: 7964259
    Abstract: A security label 1 according to the present invention can be removably applied on an image photographing device such as a mobile phone 2 incorporating therein a digital camera to cover a lens part 3 thereof. Upon removal, the security label 1 is bent and makes a trace emerge which shows that the security label 1 has been removed. By applying the security label 1 to the mobile phone 2 to cover the lens part 3 thereof, improper photography can be prevented. In a case where the security label 1 is removed to take a photograph, the trace remains on the security label 1 even if the security label 1 is applied again on the mobile phone 2 to cover the lens part 3 thereof. Thus, the fact that a photograph is improperly taken can be easily understood.

  • Publication number: 20020107813
    Abstract: In the manufacturing status indicating system according to the present invention, an order receiving control system, a manufacture control system, and a process control system are built up by a host system (10), a network (20), and information terminals (30), and data relating to photomasks inputted by these systems are sent to the host system (10). The host system (10) coordinates and summarizes these data and turns the data to database for each purchaser and for each order number and registers the data in DB (12). Based on DB (12), a server (11) prepares a home page to be offered to a browser device (5) on the purchaser side. When access is made from the browser device (5) on the purchaser side using an authorization key, the home page is offered. When this manufacturing status indicating system is applied to the manufacture of photomasks, various types of information relating to the manufacture of photomasks are offered to the purchasers at all times and at real time.
