When the length of a kind of structure of value document is known, it is also possible to according to the fluorescence signal of the unique detector of sensor
Determine movement velocity.
Sensor is particularly arranged to, relative to each other according to value document and sensor when verifying valuable file
The movement velocity of motion selects the fluorescence signal for checking fluorescence decay time.Such as sensor is arranged
For, if less than the First Speed threshold value of movement velocity, then check based on the first and second fluorescence signals
The die-away time of fluorescence.If additionally, being higher than the second speed threshold value of movement velocity, then with first and the 3rd
Checking the die-away time of fluorescence based on fluorescence signal, wherein second speed threshold value is more than or equal to the first speed
Degree threshold value.If additionally, between first and second threshold speed, then can be with first, second, and third
The die-away time of fluorescence is checked based on fluorescence signal.In order to check the die-away time of fluorescence, sensor example
As set up the proportionate relationship of the second and first fluorescence signal and/or the 3rd and first the ratio of fluorescence signal close
System.Each proportionate relationship can such as with one or more threshold ratio relatively, it is therefore an objective to whether inspection die-away time
It is shorter than or exceedes the time of regulation, or be in the time window of regulation.
