Abstract

Sticker (label), characterized in that the sticker has an electrically conductive capacitive detectable structure and a safety puncture and / or perforation, which prevents complete and / or unscathed peeling of the sticker after application to a document.

Description

The invention relates to a device and a system for verifying documents. The invention also relates to labels that can be applied to documents to securely verify them. The invention also relates to the use of the system for verification, attendance checking and authentication of documents.

The prior art discloses various systems for verifying documents, in particular vehicle registration documents or driving licenses. As part of a so-called floor check, banks regularly carry out checks on car dealerships to check whether the financed vehicles are actually still on display in the dealership or have already been sold. Typically, this floor check is carried out personally by a bank employee, who has the financed vehicles and the corresponding vehicle letters produced by the dealership.

As an alternative to the personal visual inspection, there are also solutions with RFID chips, which are glued to the vehicle letter and scanned by the dealership at the request of the bank using an RFID reader.

A similar problem of verifying documents is also faced by operators of fleets or the directors of firms which are required to regularly issue the licenses of all drivers of official vehicles. usually every 6 months, to control. This includes drivers of pool vehicles.

This represents a considerable organizational effort, especially for employees who are not regularly present at the company's headquarters. Existing solutions to carry out an examination of driving licenses are provided, above all, by optical codes, e.g. Barcodes or QR codes, carried out, which can be presented for example at petrol stations. Other solutions work with RFID tags that are stuck on the driver's license. For driving license control, the driver's license must be brought into the vicinity of a special reader.

In the prior art, methods for registering, inventorizing, managing, verifying and monitoring tangible and intangible assets, particularly vehicles in the DE 10 2012 104 088 A1 , in the DE 10 2004 055 920 A1 , in the DE 10 2005 036 057 A1 and in the WO 01/06401 A1 described. Furthermore, such a method is disclosed in Wikipedia: Automatic Identification and Data Capture, May 1, 2012.

In the DE 10 2012 104 088 A1 The objects are equipped with QR codes, with a remote reading is provided. This procedure can be executed as an online portal. The locations of the items can be verified via GPS. According to this prior art, labeling of the objects, such as the documents, can also be carried out with artificial DNA. This method is also known as Object Hyperlinking.

In the DE 10 2004 055 920 A1 a system is described which is used for the identification of objects in rooms, wherein the objects to be identified, a transponder is mounted, from which a code radio frequency signal representing an identification code is sent. In the room there is a receiver, which can receive this signal. Here, the readers installed in the room, especially the antennas of the reader are permanently moved. It can be provided that the entire transponder is surrounded by a protective plastic housing and thus forms a solid unit with the object to be identified.

Also the DE 10 2005 036 057 A1 discloses an apparatus and method for detecting and identifying one or more objects! Objects. The device for identifying objects and objects here comprises a usage area identification means which is arranged in a usage area, a detection station which is suitable for detecting a usage area identification information from the usage area identification means, and a storage means which is suitable for the usage area identification information acquired by the detection station Usage area associated with object-specific data. It is not necessary in this method that each object is assigned a single identifier.

These document verification systems have several disadvantages. The personal visual check in the context of the floor check is very time-consuming for the bank and the dealership and still very expensive.

1. a) die Recycling-Problematik dieser am Ende des Produktlebenszyklus und
2. b) die Lagerproblematik (Wölbung von vielen aufeinander liegenden Dokumenten wie Fahrzeugbriefen mit RFID-Chips) und
3. c) die Problematik des unerwünschten bulk-readings bei RFID-Chips.

Nor can it be ruled out that bank employees become the target of bribes. Although this problem can be partially overcome with the help of the described solutions based on RFID chips, but these chips are relatively expensive and they can be destroyed non-destructive of documents such as the vehicle registration and thus scan even after the sale of the vehicle. As RFID solutions are widely used, there are also numerous ways to manipulate these solutions. Other disadvantages of RFID chips are

1. a) the recycling issue at the end of the product life cycle and
2. b) the bearing problem (arching of many documents lying on top of each other such as vehicle letters with RFID chips) and
3. c) the problem of unwanted bulk readings in RFID chips.

• d) einfach kopiert werden können (mangelnde Sicherheit),
• e) dass der Prozess der Führerscheinkontrolle sehr kompliziert ist und
• f) dass Führerscheinprüfung und Dokumentation bei der Prüfung getrennte Prozesse sind. Des Weiteren sind
• g) spezielle Lesegeräte erforderlich, was die Investitionskosten für die Fuhrparkbetreiber erhöht.

Other disadvantages of the known optical codes are that these

• d) can be easily copied (lack of security),
• e) that the process of driving license control is very complicated and
• f) that driver's license examination and documentation during the examination are separate processes. Furthermore are
• g) special readers are required, which increases the investment costs for fleet operators.

The object of the invention was therefore to provide a system for verifying documents preferably for vehicles, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned.

In one aspect of the invention, the system comprises one or more documents to be checked, in particular for vehicles, a label or sticker or sticker comprising an electrically conductive structure on a preferably self-adhesive substrate material, a preferably capacitive reading device and software for evaluating the measured data of the capacitive reader.

For the purposes of the invention, the documents may be primarily vehicle documents, but also driver's licenses and additionally or exclusively social security cards, medical records preferably from drivers, shares or property certificates for machines or systems which are preferably associated with vehicles. Preference is given to documents showing ownership, financing data, security transfer data, financial data, insurance data or damage events, etc. especially emerge the vehicles.

Such documents are usually for mobile valuable items; e.g. Vehicles, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, a group of vehicles in a vehicle fleet, machinery, equipment, etc. For the purposes of the invention, the documents are in particular vehicle letters and / or driver's licenses.

In this aspect of the invention, it is particularly preferred that the label or sticker or sticker with a security punching or perforation is designed so that complete and intact detachment of the label or sticker is prevented by the documents. The sticker or the sticker may preferably have a security punching and / or perforation which prevent complete or intact detachment from the document. In this preferred embodiment it is envisaged that the users or third parties will not be able to remove the sticker from the document in order to place it in a functionally identical manner on another document. The person skilled in the art is aware of various certificates of authenticity, vignettes or other labels which are so changed or destroyed during detachment from a document or object (car windshield) that they can no longer be applied to another document or another article without this either visually attract attention or restrict their functioning. The person skilled in the art can therefore use this embodiment of the invention to provide labels, stickers or stickers which can only be applied once or by authorized persons to a document. It is then neither the drivers or employees of the driving service or the dealership or interested third parties possible to use the label or label for a different purpose or manipulative. Such labels, stickers or stickers allow the provision of a very secure system for verification or presence checking or authentication of documents.

Those skilled in the art are aware of such punches for example of vignettes (for example for cars). The label, sticker or sticker is preferably a three-dimensional sheet which may, for example, have a basic shape (e.g., card-shaped) and a similar size to the document or as the document may be in reduced size.

Of course, it is also possible that the spatial design may take the form of a circle, an ellipse or any polygon or an irregular shape. The mold preferably supports the perforation in unauthorized detachment of the label or label. Preferably, the label or sticker or sticker so flat objects that colloquially could be called two-dimensional, since the essential spatial elements lie in a plane.

Usually, the documents are flat mostly card-shaped objects or foldable or foldable "bills"("drivinglicenses"). The labels or stickers within the meaning of the invention may preferably be the same size as the documents or else considerably smaller than this. In exceptional cases, stickers or labels larger than the actual document would be possible. In this case they would have additional functions such as a protective function or a specific optical function. If the labels or stickers are substantially as large as the document to be verified, they are preferably designed so that the data and information on the document can be easily recognized. For example, the labels in this case could be transparent or transparent.

One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that the label or sticker is preferably flat, i. has a height that is smaller than the length or width. The preferred areal design of the label means that the feel or handling of the documents after applying the label or label is hardly changed.

Of course, it may also be preferred to design the label or sticker or sticker so that they change the feel or handling of the document by a noticeable and noticeable curvature, increase or punch or negative imprint. This may be advantageous, for example, if it is to be tested or tested without further checking, but only with a handle or a touch, whether an example transparent or colorless label is applied to a document or not.

The material of the label or sticker may include plastics or glass blends, but also textile plastic blends or papers, especially special paper. Depending on the need and intended use, these can be adapted to the color of the document or can differ from it. Of course, it is also possible to choose translucent or transparent materials. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the material composition or the color changes over time. These color shifts can be reminiscent of specific deadlines or periods. A label colored when the label is applied may lose its color after one year or other time intervals. But it can also be provided a different color change. Of course, it is also possible to choose the materials so that they lead, for example, after ½ year, 1 year, after 5 or 10 years to a modification in such a way that the function of the label or sticker is no longer guaranteed. It is known to the person skilled in the art that he can also initiate this in dependence on a reading device, whereby for example after 5, 10, 100 or 1000 readings a color change or the like occurs.

In a further preferred embodiment it may be preferred that the information on the label or label and a possible curvature, depression or elevation contains further information that can be read by persons or devices. This further information can result, for example, from the depth of the depression or from how high the curvature is.

The labels according to the invention have an electrically conductive structure which can be read out by means of a preferably capacitive touchscreen. In this case, the labels themselves may have, for example, a non-conductive substrate, on the underside of which an electrically conductive structure is arranged. It is preferred that the interaction between the conductive substrate of the label or sticker and the reading device be carried out without further input means so that the documents can be verified. It is preferred if the label has a length of 30 mm to 100 mm and a width of 20 mm to 80 mm. These length and width parameters lead to a surprisingly good solution of the object according to the invention.

Of course, it can also be advantageous to provide input means, since these, like Stylos or special pens (touch pens) have become lifestyle products. These lifestyle products have the advantage that they rely on the intuition of the user in comparable devices. Although dispensing with input means allows the system of the invention to easily and securely verify documents, input means such as special pens can increase system acceptance. In many European countries, it is still common for people with authority to position multiple pens in their breast pockets, for example in their tunics. Even as freebies, ballpoint pens have a high status value if they are made of a high quality material and have a high quality design. The high acceptance, for example, of Apple Pencil shows that the corresponding effect of such specifically designed input means is not limited to a few layers and groups of the population.

But, of course, it may also be preferable to verify the document by simply placing it on a reader, or by placing a reader on the document, or otherwise bringing the reader and document into operative contact for a short time. The conductive structures of the label may comprise a single conductive structure or structures of a plurality of sub-elements, which are, for example, galvanically connected to one another.

By designing the individual elements of the conductive structure, the information that can be read out is characterized and stored. These structures may be linear, circular, arcuate, wave-like, jagged or otherwise shaped.

In a further particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the label / sticker or sticker has an electrically conductive structure, which is in particular a geometric pattern, which can be detected capacitively by a reading device. The electrically conductive and capacitively detectable structure can be formed, for example, from strips, rectangles or circles. This electrically conductive structure can be optically covered (incorporated in the label) or optically visible. Preferably, it is protected by the design of the label, stickers or stickers from abrasion and mechanical stress. The electrically conductive structure can be applied for example by printing methods such as offset printing, gravure printing or flexographic printing and / or screen printing and / or by injecting methods using electrically conductive inks, such as metal particles, nanoparticles, carbon, graphene and / or based on electrically conductive polymers, without being limited to these printing methods and / or materials. Of course, it is also possible that the electrically conductive structure by means of film transfer method, e.g. Cold foil transfer, hot foil and / or thermal transfer is applied.

The conductive structures may be made, for example, of conductive or semiconducting materials, such as e.g. Polymers, metals, carbon structures or similar The person skilled in various conductive and semiconducting materials are known, which can be printed or otherwise applied, for example. The printing can be, for example, the already mentioned offset, flexo or gravure printing processes. Also in the field of silicon technology and the graphic industry, various methods for printing and producing conductive structures are known.

The conductive layer preferably consists of two, more preferably of three or more different functional regions. It may be preferred that the electrically conductive layer comprises one or more interconnects. As a result, the secure interaction between the label and the reader is ensured by various physical principles of action. These may be capacitive, inductive, electromagnetic or electronic. The respective interaction depends on the reader, for example, as a reader or smartphone. For example, in driving licenses using the preferred touch screens, it may be advantageous if the track initiates at least one touch event on the touch screen. This touch event essentially refers to triggering an event on the smartphone or other touch screen. Of course, it is also possible to integrate several tracks in the label or sticker, so that different touch events are triggered on the screen. In the interaction between driver's license and smartphone further input devices such as digital pens, scanners or voice input systems can be used. Preferably, the label or the sticker here comprises plastic, paper, cardboard, wood material, foil, composite material, glass, ceramic, textiles, leather or a combination thereof, wherein an electrically non-conductive layer preferably as an intermediate layer or separation layer to the individual electrically conductive layers or but can be used as a separation layer for driver's license or vehicle registration.

The electrically conductive layer is particularly preferably a metal layer, a layer containing metal particles, a layer containing carbon particles, a layer containing electrically conductive particles, an electrically conductive polymer layer or a combination of these layers. In general, any material that is electrically conductive can be used. Of course, metal-organic materials can be used, which consist for example of a metal and a carbon. Known metals are, for example, aluminum, lead, chromium, iron, gold, indium, cobalt, copper, magnesium, manganese, vanadium, sodium, nickel, silver, titanium, tungsten, zinc or tin. Such a label, which has at least one electrically conductive layer, may be connected to the document flat or uneven. But it can also be a positive or negative imprint that allows a tactile and haptic perception of the label or the sticker. If the label should not be immediately noticeable, a flat connection of label and document is recommended in such a way that a tactile or haptic perception is impossible or very difficult. Electrically conductive polymers or also carbon black and graphite particles allow a very wide variety of embodiments of the conductive layers. The conductive layer is preferably applied structured on label or sticker. Preference is therefore given to labels and stickers which have areas that are not covered by the electrically conductive layer. As a result, the targeted interaction between the documents and the reader can be improved.

The information encoded by the conductive structures is used for verification or presence checking or authentication of Documents and / or can represent a clear reference to a record in a data processing system. Furthermore, however, further object-specific data can be coded by the labels, stickers or stickers. These may relate, for example, to maintenance intervals, the maintenance date, maintenance information, inspection data or cleaning data of the vehicles. Other data on the label or labels may include financial data, collateral transfer data, financial data, owner data, loss events, and the like. his.

In a preferred embodiment, it may be provided that these data can not be read out by each user, but that there are different access levels for the data in order to make information selected in each case only available to particular groups of persons. In this way, for example, the problem can be solved that each user or the like, for example, for maintenance or financing o.ä. to see the vehicles. The status data for the vehicle or runtime data for lease contracts, maintenance data, location data, images or the like can also be stored in such a way that they are only accessible to specific persons with different security checks. As a result, the procedure for registering, inventorizing, managing, checking and monitoring as well as verifying documents can be designed in such a way that the usual or "classical accounting" can be additionally recorded or supported via the labels or stickers.

Advantageously, the system can be optimized if the labels are structured so that they can be read by classic readers as well as smartphones, cell phones, tablet PCs, tablet notebooks, graphics tablets, MP3 players, area sensors or touch screens. It may be preferred that the reading device has a screen or is connected to such a screen. Preferred is a touch screen, since this is an input device with direct effect, which means that the input is made directly on the displayed space. However, it may also be preferred that the display is connected to a reader that they are spaced apart.

In a further preferred embodiment it can be provided that in particular driving licenses are read out with the aid of a touch screen or a touch screen. Touch screens and touch screens offer intuitive operation, since the screen also serves as a user interface and does not have to be selected via an external input device. In other preferred embodiments, e.g. however, in the context of vehicle registration verification, use via an external reader may be beneficial. Both forms of reading the data may have different advantages, so that both represent equally preferred embodiments of the invention.

1. a) Bereitstellung der zu schützenden Dokumente eines kapazitiven Lesegerätes sowie einer Software zur Auswertung der Messdaten;
2. b) Applikation eines Labels auf dem zu schützenden Dokument;
3. c) Ersterfassung des Labels mit Hilfe des kapazitiven Lesegerätes;
4. d) Zuordnung der Messdaten zu einem eindeutigen Identifier und dem zu schützenden Dokument in einer Software bzw. Datenbank.

In a further aspect, the invention relates to a document security system comprising the following steps:

1. a) providing the documents to be protected a capacitive reader and a software for the evaluation of the measured data;
2. b) applying a label to the document to be protected;
3. c) initial detection of the label using the capacitive reader;
4. d) Assignment of the measured data to a unique identifier and the document to be protected in a software or database.

Through this system documents can be secured by having a label which is applied to the documents to be protected and the label can be evaluated with a capacitive reader and software. After the application of the label on the document to be protected, this is detected for the first time in the combination of label and document with the aid of the capacitive reader. Since the label has electrically conductive structures in the form of a geometric pattern, which is formed, for example, by dots, lines, curves, surfaces or others, these, the structure-forming elements, have a spatial or spatial relationship to one another, this relationship representing information , With the help of a capacitive reading device, this information can be detected, recorded and processed by data technology. By positioning the conductive structure, this is interpretable, for example, by a direction of movement or a residence time of the label relative to the capacitive reading device.

Preferably, in the system for verification or verification, a presence check or authentication of the documents is made by issuing a request to the owner of the document to scan it. This is possible by providing the document including the label as well as the capacitive reader. The scanning is done by contacting the reader with the label. By bringing into contact, the software can be used to transmit the data to a data processing system.

This makes it possible to match the identified identifier with the expected value of the database. It is preferred here that the user or the owner of the document receives feedback about the result of the verification or protection.
Of course, it may also be preferred that not the owner of the document, but another person responsible receives the corresponding feedback on the verification.

The capacitive reading device thus serves for decoding or for reading the electrically conductive structure and the information contained in this. In this case, it is particularly preferred if the active areas of the reading device (= reading device electrons and / or capacitor areas) are designed so that the information resulting from the electrically conductive structure can be read out well. The capacitively readable capacitive labels provide a secure and simple document verification or protection system which is surprisingly superior to the prior art systems due to its lower error rate and lower cost of ownership.

The readers in the context of the invention are all devices with which the information on the label (synonymous with stickers or stickers) can be read; For example, smartphones, tablets, classic card readers or similar. The reading devices can be created so that they themselves have stops and / or guides to ensure the correct position of the document or label on the capacitive reader. For example, it may be preferable to simply place the documents to be verified on the reader or to hold them to the reader surface. But it would also be possible to provide a system of the reader and the document in which the document to be verified is inserted into a reader via a slot.

In addition to the optimal interaction of document and reader, however, in preferred embodiments, the size and design of the label, the sticker or the sticker can support the process of reading out the data securely. For example, the labels once or more, z. B. in the middle of the document or in certain forms arranged to each other. The readers can be optimized for this type of attachment, so that accidental mispositioning or erroneous transmission of data can be ruled out.

If the documents with the label are placed on the reader and, for example, do not have to be inserted, dog-ears or paper rips or wavy edges have less adverse effect on the read-out process due to environmental influences (eg rain). However, it would also be possible to provide readers with a slot, the slot being dimensioned so that dog-ears or paper-split appearances do not adversely affect the operation of the system.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the document with the label can be partially pulled through or pushed through the reader. Such interactions of relative movements are known to those of ordinary skill in the art, for example, from mobile credit card readers.

The reader is able to read the code without errors, mainly due to the design of the reader surface. Optionally, the process of reading the code can be improved by so-called secondary information on the label or documents. The secondary information can serve, for example, to allow a relative orientation of the label, but also of the document to the readers.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, it is provided that the reading device has a shaft, a slot and / or a support surface for receiving at least a portion of the document or the label. Those skilled in such configurations in connection with capacitive readers are known. The random or predefined positioning takes place in such a way that the formations or the memory contents of the sticker or of the label can be read out with the arrangement of the reader electrodes and can therefore be determined.

In a further preferred embodiment, the electrodes of the reading device are designed or arranged such that the number and / or size and / or shape of the components of the structure of the data carrier are detected on the label or sticker. As a result, a one-to-one assignment or identification of the documents is preferably implementable. With such an assignment or identification, the documents, such as vehicle papers and others, can be verified.

It was completely surprising how fast and secure the verification or validation with the help of the system is possible. Since the system can also be provided as a closed system solution, it is different from the known systems The prior art also safe from hacker attacks and manipulation.

The system according to the invention can be implemented in one embodiment of the invention as follows: Car dealerships are equipped with capacitive readers and a web access to software. Furthermore, security labels or labels are produced using preferably conventional printing processes. These safety labels are stuck on a vehicle letter and linked to the VIN in the document. This vehicle letter with the label is now sent to the dealership, the car dealership receives the request to scan a certain number of vehicle documents in a predetermined order. The car dealership then scans the safety label on the vehicle registration document by means of capacitive readers. The scan results are transmitted to the bank or service provider in real time. If the scanned code matches the expected value, the floorcheck was performed successfully without any noticeable issues. If the scanned code does not match the expected value, further control measures are indicated.

In the following, the invention will be explained by means of examples, without being limited to these.

example 1

The exemplary solution consists of the security label, the specially developed capacitive reader and a software with database.

The car dealerships are equipped with the capacitive reader and a path-access to the software.

A set of X of various security labels with conductive structure and security die cut / perforation can be made via a conventional printing process. 1 shows such a sticker ( 10 ) comprising an electrically conductive structure ( 12 ) arranged on a substrate material, which is a safety punching ( 14 ) having. The security label is affixed to the vehicle letter by the vehicle owner (usually the bank) or a service provider by hand or by means of an applicator. The data of the vehicle registration document, in particular the chassis number, are linked with the respective security label in a database system. This assigns a unique chassis number to a particular code (for example, code # 1). Subsequently, the vehicle registration document with the safety label can be sent to the dealership, which finances the vehicle.

As part of the floor check, the car dealership is asked at irregular intervals by the bank to scan the security label on the vehicle registration documents with the capacitive reader. The order of the vehicle letters to be scanned is precisely specified on the basis of the chassis numbers. Since the VIN number has been previously linked to the respective code of the security label, the software has an accurate expected value before each scan. The scans per security label can also be limited to exclude a "try" (similar to PIN input at ATM).

If a security label has been scanned correctly, it will be communicated to the bank or service provider through the software. Thus, it can be ensured remotely that the vehicle registration document is still physically present in the dealership. If a security label has not been scanned correctly after repeated attempts, this will also be reported to the bank or service provider, which will allow further targeted action to be taken.

The described process is in 2 shown as a flowchart.

Example 2

Operators of fleets (or the managing directors) are obliged to carry the driving licenses of all drivers of official vehicles on a regular basis. i.d.R. every 6 months. This includes drivers of pool vehicles. This represents a considerable organizational effort, especially for employees who are not regularly present at the company's headquarters. Existing driver testing solutions include, for example, optical codes (barcodes, QR codes), e.g. can be presented at petrol stations. Other solutions work with RFID tags that are stuck on the driver's license. For driving license control the driver's license must be brought near a special reader.

1. a) Mangelnde Sicherheit (optische Codes können einfach kopiert werden)
2. b) Komplizierter Prozess der Führerscheinkontrolle
3. c) Führerscheinprüfung und Dokumentation der Prüfung sind getrennte Prozesse
4. d) Zum Teil spezielle Lesegeräte erforderlich: Investitionskosten für den Fuhrparkbetreiber

Disadvantages of the existing solutions are:

1. a) Lack of security (optical codes can be easily copied)
2. b) Complex process of driving license control
3. c) Driving license examination and documentation of the exam are separate processes
4. d) Partly special readers required: investment costs for the fleet operator

The object of the invention is to provide a solution for time and location independent driver's license and legally compliant documentation of the process to provide that minimizes the effort on the fleet manager and the driver. The solution must be tamper-proof.

The invention comprises the provision of a self-adhesive label, which is provided with an electrically conductive structure. The electrically conductive structure corresponds to an identification number or an identification feature (ID) or a unique identifier. This label is glued to the back of the driver's license to be tested. The label is equipped with a safety punching or perforation so that it can not be detached from the driver's license without being destroyed. The label can be read with the help of a smartphone by the driver's license with the applied label on the touch screen (= capacitive area sensor) is placed and the user strokes with the finger on the label or performs an activation gesture.

3 shows an example of such a sticker ( 10 ). On the sticker is an electrically conductive structure ( 12 ) arranged. The substrate material has a security punching or perforation ( 14 ) on.

After applying the label to the driver's license, the user / driver is created in a database and the code of the attached label is linked to the driver's record. The fleet manager can set in the software how often the driver is asked to prove the existence of his driver's license. The driver then receives an e-mail from the system asking him to place his driver's license on the touchscreen and to read it. The documentation of the process in the software is done automatically. Reminders and reminders can be set up.

The label is characterized in that the electrically conductive layer is transparent or translucent or has only a low areal coverage. Methods for producing the electrically conductive layer include, for example, printing methods by means of which an electrically conductive printing ink is applied in a structured manner. Film transfer processes are also used to apply metallic films, for example films with an aluminum coating, structured onto the label material. In addition to metallic films, electrically conductive paints based on carbon, metal particles, metal oxides and particularly preferably based on electrically conductive polymers are used. The last group of materials allows the production of electrically conductive transparent layers or structures. Examples of electrically conductive polymers are Pedot (poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene: polystyrene sulfonate) and PANI (polyaniline).

On the one hand, the adhesive of the label material or of the substrate material must meet the requirement for complete removability from the driver's license, since this is an official document. On the other hand, the bond strength must be so great that the label is difficult to remove again and tears at the intended perforations or slits when attempting to detach. The label may not be completely detached and glued on another substrate again.
