Definitions

  • the invention relates to the construction of diffractive optical security elements and a device for testing such elements.
  • EP 0 097 570 proposes a device for checking the dielectric properties of sheet-like materials, in which the material to be tested is passed between the pairs of coatings of a series of capacitors having a specific configuration. A change in the dielectric properties results in a change in voltage at the receiving electrodes. The signals are amplified and evaluated individually.
  • this device which is based on the testing of the dielectric properties of the sheet material, in particular of watermarks, all the capacitors are fed simultaneously with the oscillator frequency, as a result of which coupling between adjacent channels can occur. If you choose a larger distance between the capacitors to avoid this defect, the achievable geometric resolution is reduced. This means that only rough structures can be detected.
  • EP 0 338 378 describes a combined process for printing and shaping a hologram, the reflection material being applied either only to the hologram itself or to the surrounding material. The material outside the hologram is either removed by etching or, in order not to damage the carrier layer, left on the carrier layer.
  • DE 27 47 156 describes a method and a testing device for checking the authenticity of holographically secured identity cards. The OVD is reproduced and a visual inspection is carried out. This procedure is not suitable for quick, efficient, person-independent testing.
  • EP 0 042 946 describes a device for generating scanning patterns which are checked using a laser, mirror and lens system and a photodetector.
  • the economic effort is very high in this case too. It would increase even further if the test material was to be checked unsorted. In order to avoid presorting, the authenticity checking system would have to be arranged several times.
  • Demetallizations in diffraction-optically effective security elements for achieving optical effects are also known, which until now have only been checked using optical methods.
  • optically variable security elements for documents in the form of so-called holograms and security threads have metal layers, the metal layers in holograms serving for reflection and making the security threads appear opaque in transmitted light. Overlapping metallized and demetallized areas in a bar and a meandering pattern cause perceived brightness patterns to be shifted in transmitted light.
  • the object of the invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art and a Development of diffractive optical security elements, especially OVD's, holograms or kinegrams to propose that quickly, regardless of person and with little effort to be checked. Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a device for testing to propose documents containing such security elements. The device should be used in document processing machines as well as in manual testing devices for testing of documents with security elements effective in diffraction optics.
  • this task is solved by a device with the features of claim 1 and a method with the features of claim 13 .
  • holograms and other safety elements with optical diffraction effects to secure documents and other securities as well as banknotes against counterfeiting is currently becoming increasingly common.
  • documents are e.g. the DM banknotes of the 1997 edition, which next to the electrically conductive security strip have a diffractive optical security element in the form of a kinegram.
  • a Fast testability represents a further security level when evaluating the diffractive optics effective elements as an authenticity feature.
  • Optically diffractive elements exist including a metallized layer. This metallization layer is electrical conductive. The electrical conductivity changes according to the layer thickness.
  • the diffraction optic active element has a discontinuous metallization layer according to the invention and / or partially metallic layers on having a targeted electrical encoding of information represent.
  • the shape of the coding resembles geometric figures, in particular Lines, grid lines, arcs and / or circles that are both regular and irregular are arranged.
  • a partially metallic layer arranged above a carrier layer includes several demetallized segments.
  • a discontinuous layer of metallization contains segments with different electrical conductivity.
  • the device has a capacitive scanner.
  • This scanner consists of a large number of adjacent transmission electrodes and a parallel to this string lying receiving electrode.
  • the scanner is in a document processing machine arranged so that the existing in conventional document processing machines optical or mechanical sensors activate the test device according to the invention.
  • a sensor carrier is preferably used to reduce detection and measurement errors. This sensor carrier holds all sensors for testing. The distances between the sensors are minimized and the sensors are always arranged in a defined position.
  • control of the individual transmitter electrodes with electrical energy is delayed by means of control electronics with a switching frequency in the kHz range.
  • the control electronics contains the main components in addition to the power supply, a multiplexer, one Oscillator for providing the energy for the transmitting electrodes and an oscillator for Control of the multiplexer.
  • the energy of the respective controlled transmission electrode becomes capacitively coupled over between this transmitting and the receiving electrode. Is not electrical conductive feature exists, there is no energy transfer between the controlled transmitter electrode and the receiving electrode instead.
  • the waveform at the receiving electrode is converted into a corresponding signal image.
  • the signal pattern depends on the Structure of the metallized layer of the diffractive optical element. Point. the diffractive elements have a discontinuous metallization layer, so several segments of the metallization layer have different electrical conductivities.
  • An evaluation electronics following the receiving electrode compares the signal image of the device under test with corresponding reference signals.
  • the evaluation electronics consists of Essentially from a power supply, an amplifier, a demodulator, a Comparator, a microprocessor with memory and filters to suppress Foreign and interference signals.
  • reference signal images are stored in a memory and are compared with the scanned signal image of the test document. Since the scanner extends across the entire width of the document, each electrically conductive feature is detected using the device according to the invention. The comparison with the reference signal images provides a classifying signal for further processing. Accordingly, for example, a document recognized as a false certificate could be sorted out by stopping the test device.
  • the sensor carrier is compactly connected to a circuit board that carries the control and evaluation electronics. The entire test facility is located within document processing machines, so that the space requirement is kept relatively small.
  • the transmitting and receiving electrodes are arranged above or below the documents in document processing machines in such a way that reliable scanning is ensured.
  • a further embodiment of the transmitting and receiving electrodes is characterized in that a plurality of transmitting and receiving electrodes are arranged next to one another and / or in series. Both the control and the reception of the signals are processed using the multiplex or demultiplex method. For use in handheld devices, they contain corresponding devices for analog.

  • a device which defines the position of the capacitive scanner of the inventive test device in relation to the document by means of stop elements. In this case, the document is only checked in the area of the transmitting and receiving electrodes.

  • By lining up a plurality of transmitting electrodes it is possible to simultaneously detect several electrically conductive features in the longitudinal axis of the capacitive scanner 4 .
  • the resolution that can be achieved with this arrangement depends on the number of transmitting electrodes used.
