Description

Field of the invention

Of the The invention relates to a value or security document with at least one edge, which at least in partial areas respectively has at least one security feature, as well as a method for its production, a method for its verification and Means for its verification.

State of the art

From the prior art value or security documents are known, which are produced by means of lamination of different films. For example, this describes the EP1480839B1 a security document card having at least one polycarbonate coating on polyethylene. The DE102006030406A1 describes a value or security document, which is composed of several layers. The layers consist of foils.

A multilayer construction is a body made by means of lamination or gluing, for example a card body. This is done by collating individual layers, eg. B. foils and lamination and / or bonding to a body. Here, the films may consist of the same or different materials, in particular polycarbonate (PC), in particular bisphenol A polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), their derivatives such as glycol modified PET (PETG), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyimide (PI), polyvinylalcohol (PVA), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylphenol (PVP), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), in particular thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU ), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), paper, Teslin ^® and their derivatives, coextruded films containing these materials, among others, and hybrid materials which contain among others, the above-mentioned materials.

A body of such a multi-layer structure, for. B. multi-layer laminate has an upper and a lower side. Generally orthogonal to the top and bottom are one or more edges. A round or oval multilayer laminate has an edge, a rectangular four edges, which are connected via corners with each other. For card-shaped documents, such as check cards, the corners are usually rounded. As norms for the external form of card-like documents is here exemplified the ISO 7810 especially with the formats ID 1, ID 2 and ID 3 called.

To protect against counterfeiting and falsification, value or security documents have security features. Examples of security features are guilloches, embossed intaglio, iris print, microfilm, luminescent dyes, for example, fluorescence, phosphorescence and upconversion dyes, magnetic colors, infrared colors, optically variable colors, holograms, watermarks, anti-copying devices, see-through ports, inspection windows, security threads, and tactile embossments , The security features can be checked in three levels. The first level includes the simple visual inspection and can generally also be recognized by an untrained person, for example an optically variable color or a hologram on banknotes. The second level involves testing with technical aids, such as fluorescence, which requires a UV lamp to be tested. The third level includes forensic features, some of which can only be verified by destroying the document. Most of these forensic features are not publicly known. Security features are known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in US Pat Rudolf L. van Renesse, Optical Document Security, 3rd edition, Artech House, Boston / London (2005), ISBN 1-58053-258-6 ,

In the DE102006017764A1 is a security and / or value document with a machine-readable security element containing a luminescent substance, described. The luminescent substances are located at different locations on the surface of the security and / or security document. Furthermore, a device is described which can be used to evaluate the security element. A bearing surface ensures that the device detects the surface of the security and / or value document and thus the security element.

In addition to preventing total forgery of documents, the prevention of falsification of documents is very important. In a falsification of identification documents, for example, name, date of birth, the chip and / or the image are exchanged. If such a falsification occurs, a person who abuses the fake document has an allegedly valid document, which can not be recognized as being incorrect or can not be detected as being wrong during checks. In today's documents based on multi-layer laminates, delamination can be carried out for manipulation, that is to say by re-separation along at least one plane between two layers. For delamination, documents are treated with heat, cold or solvents, for example. This delamination can be particularly facilitated by the counterfeiter when different materials miteinan which are laminated, for example glued Mehrstoffaufbauten. These material combinations are used, for example, to embed an integrated circuit. For this purpose, a thermoplastic inlay can be used. Due to the better mechanical and safety properties, a harder surface is preferred, so that, despite the easier manipulability, bonded composites of immiscible polymers are used.

Problem according to the state of Technology and object of the invention

The For example, documents known in the art may imperceptibly split at an adhesive layer between two films. Thus, a manipulation of value or security documents possible in the prior art and in a verification difficult to recognize. Therefore, the task of creating a value or to provide a security document which is against adulteration is secured by delamination, or tried to one or made falsification manifest. Next poses the task, a manufacturing process as well as a process to verify such a security or value document to deliver. This applies in particular to the review of value or security documents of the first and, where applicable, the second level of review. Next is the Task to provide a device for verification, as well a device for adapting existing devices for verification.

Description of the invention and preferred embodiments

According to the invention solved the problem by having at least one edge of the value or security document, at least in subareas, at least in each case has a security feature. Next, the task is through Method for forming at least one security feature in the Production of a value having at least one edge or Security document solved, with the edge at least In some areas provided with at least one security feature becomes. Furthermore, the object is achieved by a method for verification a value or security document with at least one edge and containing at least one security feature, which comprises the steps of detecting at least one security feature of the value or security document to be verified, compare the security feature of the security or value document to be verified expected with the appearance of the introduced security feature in a genuine, non-manipulated value or security document and decide whether to forgery or falsification wherein the verification is based on at least one occurs on at least one edge formed security feature.

Examples of value or security documents are passport, identity card, driver's license, visa, check and credit card, company ID card, proof of eligibility, membership card, gift and shopping voucher and (game) token. These can be designed as multi-layer structures, in particular as multi-layer laminates. Examples of materials of value or security documents are polycarbonate (PC), in particular bisphenol A polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), whose derivatives such as glycol modified PET (PETG), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinyl butyral (PVB ), Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyimide (PI), polyvinylalcohol (PVA), polystyrene (PS), polyvinylphenol (PVP), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), in particular thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), paper, Teslin ^® and their derivatives, coextruded films containing these materials, among others, and hybrid materials which contain among others, the above-mentioned materials.

security features may be formed, for example, from guilloche, raised Intaglio printing, iris printing, microprinting, luminescent dyes, for example, fluorescent, phosphorescence and upconversion dyes, magnetic colors, infrared colors, optically variable colors, holograms, Watermarks, anti-copying devices, transparent passports, see-through windows, Security thread and tactile imprints.

According to the invention the at least one edge located at least one security feature be designed so that it is a delamination and subsequent composition of the document for adulteration for example, the personalization data (manipulation) detectable changed. Particularly preferred is the change irreversible and recognizable. Will with several possible Edges are not introduced on all edges of the card a security feature, so it is particularly preferable to secure the edge or edges, which would most likely be manipulated. This secures the edges closest to the one to be manipulated feature such as the z. As the name, the picture or lie the chip, since the least amount of manipulation is. In different edges and / or in different sections may have the same and / or different security features be introduced.

According to the invention, a security feature in the form of a line, several lines or Guillo be trained. Lines may be parallel to each other in a preferred embodiment. Straight lines in a preferred embodiment have a fixed angle to the surface normal of the top of the security document. If the security feature is formed, for example, by a family of parallel lines and if the layers of a multilayer laminate are separated, and if these are put together again, the pattern is noticeably disturbed since the positional accuracy of the patterns can not be achieved when composing the layers. In addition, by delaying out of separate layers, the distance between the lines change, which also leads to a clearly visible effect.

In A preferred embodiment becomes the security feature formed in the form of micro-writing. The microman can do one uniform information for all documents, for example the country of the exhibition, a uniform for the document type Information, for example, a value, or an individualized Information, for example a document number.

In Another preferred embodiment becomes the security feature printing technology by means of high, flat, gravure, through or digital printing the edge applied. As a printing process, and gravure printing, offset printing in the forms wet and dry offset, Letterset, Flexo, Siedruck, inkjet printing and / or laser printing are used. The printing can but also for example by dip coating or spraying be applied, especially if the subarea area should be covered.

In a further embodiment of the invention the security feature is formed with a luminescent dye. As luminescence, for example, photoluminescence, in particular Fluorescence, phosphorescence and multi-photon processes (upconversion), Electroluminescence, cathodoluminescence, chemiluminescence, bioluminescence, Sonoluminescence, triboluminescence and radioluminescence used become. The advantage of this embodiment lies in the complicated adjustment of an inventive Security feature.

In Another preferred embodiment becomes the security feature formed with a visible in the visible range dye. Here All dyes known to those skilled in the art can be used become.

In In another preferred embodiment, the value or security document having at least one edge at least in Partial areas of at least one edge in each case at least one security feature on, where the security feature is a structure. A structure may have any number of depressions and / or elevations. For example, a structure may have a feature height of have about 5 microns. A structure can be laser engraved, when separating the document, for example by punching from a benefit, by means of embossing, in particular by means of a heated die, or by means of a solvent be generated. Depending on the method used, characteristic results Forms of the structure, which in the case of the laser engraving the form of the Light focus reflects, in the case of punching a over the whole edge has uniform course, in the case of embossing has a survey around a depression around and in use of a solvent according to the diffusion shaped recess generated. Other methods of introduction by punching, milling and / or cutting are familiar to the expert.

The Wells of a structure can be colored with a color or Paint partially or completely filled. Here can the filling either in all wells uniform done, but it can also only a few wells or only parts of wells are filled. The backfilling can be done for example by means of printing, dispensing or squeezing. For example, a paint used for backfilling can Contain pigments which produce a visible color impression, have a UV-stimulable luminescence and / or magnetic properties to have. In particular, the colors can be air, UV or IR drying be educated. The wells can also with such Paint or varnish will be filled that more than complete Backfilling necessary paint or varnish filled in the recess so that an elevation is formed in the area of the structure. An inventive advantage in backfilling the wells with a paint or a varnish, which a Contains luminescent substance is that this feature already during the examination of the top and / or bottom of the document can be verified. Because the introduced amount of substance is in This case is much larger than printing the surface, so that a feature located in the edge produces a much more intense luminescence.

In a further preferred embodiment, the security feature is pronounced flat in at least a portion of the edge. This means that a uniform, homogeneous impression of the security feature results. It is preferred if the security feature is formed in this embodiment with a brittle refractive paint, for example, a crosslinked, infusible paint. Examples of such paints are acrylates and epoxies. Particularly preferably, the brittle refractive paint pigments, which are not commonly accessible, so that a counterfeiter can not remove the brittle-breaking paint and apply a new, identical paint.

In a further embodiment of the invention is the safety feature with a solvent in the Edge introduced. A PC based value or Safety documents suitable solvent mixture comprises for example, L1) 0 to 10 wt .-%, preferably 1 to 5 wt .-%, in particular 2 to 3 wt%, mesitylene, L2) 10 to 50 wt%, preferably 25 up to 50% by weight, in particular 30 to 40% by weight, of 1-methoxy-2-propanol acetate, L3) 0 to 20 wt .-%, preferably 1 to 20 wt .-%, in particular 7 to 15% by weight, 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene, L4) 10 to 50% by weight, preferably From 25 to 50% by weight, in particular from 30 to 40% by weight, of ethyl 3-ethoxypropionate, L5) 0 to 10 wt .-%, preferably 0.01 to 2 wt .-%, in particular 0.05 to 0.5 wt%, cumene, and L6) 0 to 80 wt%, preferably From 1 to 40% by weight, in particular from 15 to 25% by weight, of solvent naphtha, wherein the sum of the components L1 to L6 always gives 100 wt .-%.

this Solvent mixture can color and / or luminescent be added. Application may be by means of, for example, ink jet printing respectively. Contains the solvent mixture color and / or Luminescent substances, these can be in by the solvent dissolved multilayer laminate diffuse and can thus not be removed by simply rubbing.

The Verification of a value or Security document occurs in the Capture At least steps a security feature of the at least one edge value or security document to be verified, comparisons the security feature on the value or security document to be verified with the expected appearance of the security feature in a non-manipulated security or security document and Decide if a fake or falsification is present. Preferred methods of detection include detection with naked eye, with a magnifying glass, with a microscope, under Excitation with UV light or by feeling. The comparison can be done by one person or by machine. The expected Appearance of the security feature in a genuine, unmanipulated Value or security document may, for example, be in the form of a sample document, a reproduction, a digitized recording of such or a technical description. When comparing can Among other things, position of the security feature, appearance of the security feature (eg shape, size, orientation, pattern), information of the security feature (eg document number in micro-writing) and / or spectral characteristics (eg, fluorescent color) become. In deciding whether there is a forgery is to take into account that a deviation due to aging and / or use of the value or security document even without Manipulation attempt may occur. Can not decide whether deviations either by manipulation or merely by Wear have arisen, or is obviously a manipulation The value or security document may be more thorough Be subjected to an examination to make an accurate statement.

A Device for verification of a value or security document with at least one edge and containing at least one security feature has at least one sensor, which for detecting the at least a security feature trained and on the edge of the value or Security document is aligned.

In a preferred embodiment, the device for verification of a value or security document at least another sensor, which on the top and / or bottom of the Value or security document for collecting information and / or at least one further security feature is. In particular, this further sensor can be designed in such a way Read out information, for example data about document and owner, in particular name, address, date of birth, document number and / or Validity. The information can be special preferred in the machine-readable zone (MRZ) for travel documents be included.

In a further preferred embodiment of the device for verification of a value or security document is the sensor and / or the value or security document is movably arranged, so that the sensor on both the edge and on the top and / or Bottom of the security or value document can. Particularly preferred is the value or security document on a flat surface, for example a glass plate, which on at least one edge has an increase, so that the value or security document flush and thus accurate to the position can be created on this. The sensor is for example on a quarter circle, so that this both the edge and can capture the surface.

In a further preferred embodiment of the device for verifying a value or security document, the device is designed such that the sensor can detect both the top and / or bottom side and the edge of the security or security document at the same time. For example, the device has a mirror. The sensor, for example a CCD camera, can now the top or bottom as well as the mirror, and above this the edge, capture.

A Device for holding a value or security document with at least one edge and containing at least one security feature on a device for verification of value or security documents, which has at least one sensor which is used to detect the is formed at least one security feature, is used for Align the sensor with the edge of the asset or security document. For example, the device is a slot, in which the value or security document is inserted can be used to align the sensor with the edge. Such a device allows devices for verification of value or security documents which are not for the verification of an inventive Value or security document were developed and built. Especially this makes it easy and inexpensive Retrofitting already in operation devices.

13 : a device for holding a value or security document.

In the 1 is a value or security document 10 to see which is designed as a multi-layer laminate. In the present case, this document is of four layers 14 . 15 . 16 . 17 produced. The value or security document indicates a 11 and a bottom (not visible). In the case of an identification document, these pages may contain, for example, the personalization information, such as name, date of birth, address, document number, validity period or passport photograph. In the case of a value document, for example a token, a gift or shopping voucher, these pages may instead have a value. To protect this information against change, it is often incorporated into the document between the layers. For example, this information can be printed between the layers 15 and 16 be introduced. The document has edges 13 on. In a subarea 18 an edge is a security feature introduced, which consists of a plurality of mutually parallel lines 19 which is at an angle of, for example, 135 ° to the surface normal 12 the top 11 run.

In the 2 is the value or security document 10 of the 1 after a manipulation as a document 10.1 shown. The counterfeiter has the layer in this example 16 removed by delamination from the document in order to access the information introduced and to change it. Subsequently, the counterfeiter has the document for example by gluing back to the document 10.1 together. This in the subarea 18 However, security feature according to the invention indicates a manipulation, since the lines 19 no longer continuous, but an offset 20 on the shift 16 exhibit. This is accomplished by the layer 16 does not remain absolutely dimensionally stable during manipulation and also the rejoining can not be done with sufficient accuracy, for example by gluing, to an offset 20 to avoid.

In the 3 is a value or security document 10 with several subareas 18.1 . 18.2 shown, which contain a introduced into the edge security feature in the form of a font, for example, a micro-font. In the example shown is an individualized information 21 which is introduced in the security feature, for example the document number or the value of the document. The information may, for example, have been introduced by means of inkjet printing or laser engraving.

In the 4 becomes a value or security document 10 shown, which on one edge a flat coating with a brittle refractive paint 22 having. This coating may have been applied by printing, spray, dip coating or any other coating method known to those skilled in the art. Preferably, the paint coating contains 22 a fluorescent dye and is transparent and colorless.

In the 5 becomes a document 10.1 shown by the manipulation of a document 10 according to 4 originated. For example, the counterfeiter has the layer 16 removed from the multi-layer laminate to change data. When breaking the multi-layer laminate flakes the brittle refractive paint 22 in the area of the layer 16 off, so after joining to the document 10.1 only the subareas 22.1 . 22.2 the paint coating are present. Since these are only visible under UV excitation, this does not strike the counterfeiter. When the document is verified, for example at a border crossing, the manipulation is obvious.

In the 6 is a value or security document 10 in the top view on the top 11 shown. As a security feature, the document contains tactile depressions in the edge 23 , For example, these recesses may be made by milling or by drilling when punching out the multi-layer laminate from a multiple-use, which contains at least two value or security documents. Advantage of this embodiment is the simple verification by means of feeling by a person. The wells can also be detected by machine. The number and / or position of the depressions may include information.

In the 7 is a value or security document 10 shown in plan view, which depressions 23 which has one color 24 are completely filled. This is especially beneficial when the color 24 contains a luminescent dye. With a suitable excitation of the luminescence, the filled depressions appear 23 even when looking at the top and / or bottom of the document much brighter than comparable introduced by printing technology in the surface luminescence features, since the layer thickness of the filled depressions 23 corresponds to the document height and thus significantly above the layer thickness of printing technology produced structures. The advantage of this embodiment is that in conventional verification methods only the top and / or bottom are observed.

In the 8th the application of the security feature to a stack of securities or security documents is shown. In 8a is a stack of documents 10 shown which in the subarea 18 with a pattern of parallel lines 19 is printed. As shown, not all documents need 10 have an identical appearance of the security feature. For example, there may be a shift in the position of the security feature between adjacent documents in the stack as shown. In 8b is another pile of documents 10 shown between documents 10 Slip sheets 25 are inserted. The separator sheets may be made of silicone paper, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polyethylene (PE), for example. These prevent ink applied during printing from flowing between the documents, which can lead to contamination of the top and / or bottom of the individual documents. These dividers 25 can also be carried out self-supporting, in particular, the separator sheets 25 Be part of a transport device containing the documents 10 passes the printing system. The advantage of this embodiment is the fast and efficient production of the security feature, since the documents are collected, stored and transported after production in stacks.

In the 9 is a device for verification 40 shown in which about a leadership 41 , for example a gap, a value or security document 10 can be entered or pulled through. About a sensor 42 a security feature located at least in partial areas of the edge of the security or value document is detected. The sensor 42 For example, it can detect a security feature mechanically, optically, electrically or magnetically. The acquired data can either be in the device for verification 40 be compared with the expected appearance of the security feature in a non-manipulated value or security document or for comparison to an evaluation, such as a server, transferred. After the decision as to whether a forgery exists, it can be issued to the device for verification visually and / or acoustically or via a connected unit, for example a server.

In the 10 is another device for verification 40 shown, which is a flat edition 43 for a value or security document. At the edge of the edition 43 has the device for verification 40 an increase 44 which act as a stop for a value or security document 10 serves. This will become the value or security document 10 in a defined position on the overlay 43 brought. Furthermore, the device has for verification 40 a sensor 42 on that on the edge of the value or security document 10 is aligned. In addition, the device for verification has a sensor 45 on, which for the detection of information and / or at least one further security feature on the top or bottom of the value or security document 10 is aligned. It is preferably a sensor for optical detection, for example a CCD camera. Furthermore, the device for verification 40 about means of lighting 46.1 . 46.2 feature. Particularly preferred are the means for lighting such that various information and / or features with a sensor 42 . 45 can be detected. In particular, can be a means of lighting 46.1 emit white light, another means of lighting 46.2 UV light.

In the 11 is another device for verification 40 shown. Analogous to in 10 shown device for verification 40 This has an edition 43 with an increase 44 for the circulation and positioning of a value or security document 10 , The sensor 42 is on a mechanics 47 attached, which allows the sensor 42 along the direction 48 to move it to both the edge and the top and / or bottom of the security or value document 10 can be aligned. In addition, the device for verification may have lighting means (not shown).

In the 12 is another device for verification 40 shown. Analogous to in 10 shown device for verification 40 this has an edition 43 with an increase 44 for the circulation and positioning of a value or security document 10 , The sensor 42 is capable of both the top and / or bottom of the document 10 as well as its edge over a mirror 49 capture. The acquired data is then further processed such that the data of the edge of the document and the top and / or bottom are separated, so that a verification by comparing the appearance of the security feature of the value or security document to be verified with the expected appearance of the security feature in a non-manipulated security or security document and deciding whether a forgery or falsification exists can take place.
