Description

« Dispositif de contrôle d'un document d'identité ou analogue » La présente invention concerne un dispositif de contrôle d'un document d'identité ou analogue, tel qu'une carte d'identité ou un passeport. Un document d'identité comprend généralement, outre une photographie constituée par un support photographique ou l'impression d'une image, une impression de données relatives au porteur. The present invention relates to a device for checking an identity document or the like, such as an identity card or a passport. An identity document generally includes, in addition to a photograph consisting of a photographic medium or the printing of an image, printing of data relating to the carrier.
Le contrôle d'identité se fait conventionnellement en comparant la photographie présente sur le document d'identité et le visage du porteur de celui-ci. Ce type de contrôle est malheureusement insuffisant du fait de la possibilité de substituer la photographie du porteur par une autre et/ou de falsifier les informations imprimées relatives au porteur.Identity control is conventionally done by comparing the photograph on the identity document and the face of the bearer. This type of control is unfortunately insufficient due to the possibility of replacing the photograph of the wearer with another and / or falsifying the printed information relating to the wearer.
De ce fait, est apparue une sécurité supplémentaire sur certains documents d'identité tels que le passeport et la carte d'identité. Cette sécurité consiste en un code imprimé lisible optiquement et automatiquement avec des lecteurs adaptés. Ce code comprend sous forme codée des informations relatives au porteur du document. Ce code peut être imprimé avec des encres visibles ou non à l'œil nu. Le lecteur peut aussi scanner automatiquement les informations imprimées mais non codées présentes sur le document et ensuite les comparer avec les données codées, de façon à mettre en évidence toute tentative de falsification.As a result, additional security appeared on certain identity documents such as passport and identity card. This security consists of a printed code that can be read optically and automatically with suitable readers. This code includes in coded form information relating to the bearer of the document. This code can be printed with inks visible or not visible to the naked eye. The reader can also automatically scan the printed but unencrypted information present on the document and then compare it with the encoded data, so as to highlight any attempt at falsification.
Dans le cas particulier du passeport, le code se présente sous la forme d'une ligne de caractères lisibles optiquement de façon automatique et cette ligne de caractères restitue, après décodage, des informations relatives au porteur du document ; cette ligne dite OCR est normalisée (ISO 1831 - 1980) et permet la lecture automatique des passeports en vue de détecter des falsifications éventuelles. Un tel dispositif de lecture de la ligne OCR, existe par exemple sous la marque DILETTA® TDR 200 et les données issues du décodage peuvent être comparées visuellement aux données imprimées sur le document.In the particular case of the passport, the code is in the form of a line of optically readable characters automatically and this line of characters restores, after decoding, information relating to the bearer of the document; this so-called OCR line is standardized (ISO 1831 - 1980) and allows automatic reading of passports in order to detect possible falsifications. Such an OCR line reading device, exists for example under the brand DILETTA® TDR 200 and the data resulting from the decoding can be visually compared with the data printed on the document.
Dans le cas de documents tels que la carte d'identité, il n'y a pas de normalisation et l'on trouve sur le marché différents types de codes imprimables, tels que décrits par exemple dans le document « Counterfeit, Deterrence, Product Authentication and protection of Brand Identity » édité par Label and Labelling Consultancy. On peut trouver par exemple des codes matriciels deux dimensions comme le Datastrip code qui permet d' encoder des informations telles qu'une photo, une signature, une empreinte de doigt ou toute information biométrique sur le porteur deIn the case of documents such as the identity card, there is no standardization and there are on the market different types of printable codes, as described for example in the document "Counterfeit, Deterrence, Product Authentication and protection of Brand Identity "edited by Label and Labeling Consultancy. One can find for example two dimensional matrix codes like the Datastrip code which makes it possible to encode information such as a photo, a signature, a fingerprint or any biometric information on the wearer.
CD la carte d'identité. Il existe aussi des codes plus simples comme le IDData Matrix pour encoder une suite de caractères. Avec les lecteurs adaptés constitués d'un dispositif de lecture et de décodage du code, on peut alors récupérer les informations décodées et les comparer avec celles présentes sur le document, pour mettre en évidence toute tentative de falsification.CD the identity card. There are also simpler codes like the IDData Matrix for encoding a series of characters. With the adapted readers made up of a device for reading and decoding the code, one can then recover the decoded information and compare it with that present on the document, to highlight any attempt at falsification.
La demande de brevet français FR-A-2776153 décrit un procédé dans lequel la photographie d'une personne et les informations relatives à cette personne sont numérisées et mémorisées dans une puce électronique intégrée au document. Lors de l'identification du porteur du document, les informations mémorisées dans la puce sont lues et affichées sur un écran de contrôle pour permettre à un opérateur de les comparer avec la photographie présente sur le document. Le cas échéant, les informations, dont la photo, imprimées sur le document sont numérisées lors du contrôle à l'aide d'un scanner et analysées par un logiciel de reconnaissance. Les informations lues sur la puce et celles issues de la numérisation sont ensuite comparées automatiquement et un message est affiché à l'écran pour signaler la présence éventuelle de différences.French patent application FR-A-2776153 describes a process in which the photograph of a person and the information relating to this person are digitized and stored in an electronic chip integrated into the document. When identifying the holder of the document, the information stored in the chip is read and displayed on a control screen to allow an operator to compare it with the photograph on the document. If necessary, the information, including the photo, printed on the document is digitized during the control using a scanner and analyzed by recognition software. The information read on the chip and that from the scanning are then automatically compared and a message is displayed on the screen to indicate the possible presence of differences.
Il existe un besoin pour augmenter encore le nombre de sécurités utilisées. Toutefois, les opérations de contrôle deviennent rapidement fastidieuses lorsqu'un grand nombre de sécurités doivent être examinées.There is a need to further increase the number of safeties used. However, control operations quickly become tedious when a large number of safeties have to be examined.
En outre, les opérations de contrôle d'identité, si elles sont longues et fastidieuses, sont susceptibles de générer des files d'attente pouvant mécontenter les individus. II existe ainsi un besoin pour permettre un contrôle rapide et aisé des documents d'identité.In addition, identity control operations, if they are long and tedious, are likely to generate queues that may displease individuals. There is thus a need to allow rapid and easy control of identity documents.
Il existe également un besoin pour améliorer la fiabilité du contrôle d'identité.There is also a need to improve the reliability of identity control.
L'invention vise notamment à faciliter l'authentification des documents d'identité, sans pour autant avoir à recourir à un matériel complexe et coûteux.The invention aims in particular to facilitate the authentication of identity documents, without having to resort to complex and expensive equipment.
Elle y parvient grâce un dispositif de contrôle d'un document d'identité, tel qu'une carte d'identité ou un passeport, ce document comprenant au moins un transpondeur et un code, notamment un code imprimé, ce dispositif de contrôle étant caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte un dispositif radiofréquence permettant, au moment d'un contrôle d'identité, de lire et éventuellement de programmer le transpondeur, et au moins un lecteur de code adapté au type de code du document, comportant des moyens de numérisation du code, et un décodeur pour traiter les données numérisées, des moyens de gestion de données permettant de comparer les informations délivrées par le dispositif radiofréquence et les informations délivrées par le lecteur de code, en vue d'authentifier le document d'identité et/ou de vérifier que le porteur du document est bien son titulaire, les moyens de gestion de données étant de préférence agencés pour permettre un fonctionnement simultané du lecteur de code et du dispositif radiofréquence.It achieves this through a device for checking an identity document, such as an identity card or a passport, this document comprising at least one transponder and a code, in particular a printed code, this control device being characterized by the fact that it comprises a radiofrequency device making it possible, at the time of an identity check, to read and possibly to program the transponder, and at least a code reader adapted to the type of document code, comprising means for digitizing the code, and a decoder for processing the digitized data, data management means making it possible to compare the information delivered by the radiofrequency device and the information delivered by the code reader, with a view to authenticating the identity document and / or verifying that the bearer of the document is indeed its holder, the data management means being preferably arranged to allow simultaneous operation of the code reader and of the radio frequency device.
Le dispositif de contrôle permet ainsi de vérifier que les informations résultant des données enregistrées dans le transpondeur sont identiques à ou en accord avec celles résultant des données imprimées sur le document. Le fonctionnement simultané du lecteur de code et du dispositif radiofréquence permet un gain de temps, le transpondeur étant lu et/ou programmé pendant qu'une reconnaissance des données du code est effectuée.The control device thus makes it possible to verify that the information resulting from the data recorded in the transponder is identical to or in agreement with that resulting from the data printed on the document. The simultaneous operation of the code reader and the radio frequency device saves time, the transponder being read and / or programmed while recognition of the code data is carried out.
Le lecteur de code peut comporter par exemple un scanner ou une caméra CCD avec un éclairage spécifique dans le cas de codes imprimés avec des encres UV ou IR.The code reader can for example comprise a scanner or a CCD camera with specific lighting in the case of codes printed with UV or IR inks.
Dans l'invention, le volume des données peut être faible en l'absence de mémorisation d'images entières et l'électronique du dispositif d'acquisition de données peut être relativement simple et peu coûteuse tout en permettant un traitement rapide des données. De plus, le dispositif d'acquisition de données étant un lecteur de code, les lecteurs de code existants peuvent être utilisés directement ou après de légères modifications, ce qui permet d'accroître la sécurité des contrôles sans nécessiter des investissements importants.In the invention, the volume of the data can be low in the absence of storage of entire images and the electronics of the data acquisition device can be relatively simple and inexpensive while allowing rapid processing of the data. In addition, the data acquisition device being a code reader, the existing code readers can be used directly or after slight modifications, which makes it possible to increase the security of the controls without requiring significant investments.
Le dispositif de contrôle peut comporter au moins un capteur optique et/ou magnétique et/ou électrique apte à détecter et/ou identifier un élément de sécurité présent sur le document, en vue d'authentifier celui-ci. Un tel élément de sécurité peut être constitué par exemple par un traceur détectable après excitation sous un rayonnement ultraviolet, infrarouge, micro-ondes ou un champ magnétique.The control device may include at least one optical and / or magnetic and / or electrical sensor capable of detecting and / or identifying a security element present on the document, with a view to authenticating it. Such a security element can be constituted for example by a tracer detectable after excitation under ultraviolet, infrared, microwave or magnetic field radiation.
Avantageusement, le dispositif de contrôle comporte un avertisseur sonore et/ou lumineux pour signaler d'une manière automatique une anomalie concernant l'authentification du document et/ou la correspondance entre les informations délivrées par le lecteur de code et celles délivrées par le dispositif radiofréquence.Advantageously, the control device includes an audible and / or light alarm to automatically indicate an anomaly concerning the authentication of the document and / or the correspondence between the information delivered by the code reader and that delivered by the radio frequency device. .
De préférence, le dispositif de contrôle se présente sous la forme d'un ensemble monobloc ou d'une pluralité d'appareils assemblés de manière à pouvoir être déplacés simultanément.Preferably, the control device is in the form of a single unit or a plurality of devices assembled so that they can be moved simultaneously.
Le dispositif de contrôle peut comporter une vitre, agencée pour permettre de poser le document dessus ou une fente permettant d'introduire le document.The control device may include a window, arranged to allow the document to be placed thereon or a slot allowing the document to be introduced.
Le dispositif radiofréquence peut être intégré dans le boîtier du lecteur de code, de même que les moyens de gestion de données. Ainsi, le lecteur de code et le dispositif radiofréquence peuvent constituer une structure unitaire, se présentant par exemple sous la forme d'un même poste ou appareil.The radio frequency device can be integrated into the code reader housing, as can the data management means. Thus, the code reader and the radiofrequency device can constitute a unitary structure, for example in the form of the same station or device.
Le fait de pouvoir lire et/ou programmer le transpondeur en le posant sur une vitre facilite le travail de la personne chargée du contrôle d'identité, car celle-ci peut aisément amener le document dans une configuration telle que le transpondeur puisse être lu et/ou programmé et procéder simultanément à la vérification d'inscriptions présentes sur le document et/ou à l'apposition d'un tampon des douanes.The fact of being able to read and / or program the transponder by placing it on a window facilitates the work of the person responsible for identity control, since this person can easily bring the document into a configuration such that the transponder can be read and / or programmed and proceed simultaneously to the verification of inscriptions present on the document and / or to the affixing of a customs stamp.
Les risques d'erreurs dues au transport du document d'un poste à un autre sont alors inexistants. Le transpondeur peut être intégré dans une épaisseur de papier ou de matière plastique du document.The risks of errors due to the transport of the document from one station to another are then nonexistent. The transponder can be integrated into a thickness of paper or plastic of the document.
Avantageusement, le dispositif de contrôle comporte en outre des moyens d'impression permettant d'imprimer le document.Advantageously, the control device also comprises printing means making it possible to print the document.
Ces moyens d'impression peuvent par exemple servir à imprimer un tampon des douanes sur un passeport.These printing means can for example be used to print a customs stamp on a passport.
Les moyens d'impression peuvent être agencés pour débuter l'impression avant la fin d'un échange de données entre le transpondeur et le dispositif radiofréquence ou en variante le dispositif radiofréquence peut être agencé pour échanger des données avec le transpondeur avant la fin de l'impression. On peut ainsi réaliser un gain de temps.The printing means can be arranged to start printing before the end of a data exchange between the transponder and the device radio frequency or alternatively the radio frequency device can be arranged to exchange data with the transponder before the end of printing. This can save time.
L'invention a encore pour objet un document d'identité comportant un code imprimé, un élément de sécurité tel que par exemple un dispositif optiquement variable, un filigrane ou des microperforations, et un transpondeur dans lequel des données représentatives du code sont mémorisées, ce transpondeur étant agencé pour pouvoir échanger des données avec un dispositif de contrôle tel que défini plus haut.The invention also relates to an identity document comprising a printed code, a security element such as for example an optically variable device, a watermark or microperforations, and a transponder in which data representative of the code are stored, this transponder being arranged to be able to exchange data with a control device as defined above.
Dans un exemple de mise en œuvre de l'invention, aucune image du titulaire du document n'est entièrement mémorisée dans le transpondeur, ce qui permet d'utiliser un transpondeur relativement simple et peu coûteux.In an exemplary implementation of the invention, no image of the document holder is entirely stored in the transponder, which makes it possible to use a relatively simple and inexpensive transponder.

Les moyens de gestion de données 2 gèrent le fonctionnement de l'ensemble et sont constitués par exemple par une carte électronique comportant un microprocesseur, cette carte étant logée dans le boîtier 20 du lecteur de code, partiellement représenté à la figure 5.The data management means 2 manage the operation of the assembly and are constituted for example by an electronic card comprising a microprocessor, this card being housed in the housing 20 of the code reader, partially shown in FIG. 5.
Ce boîtier 20 comporte une vitre transparente sur laquelle peut être placé un document d'identité 10 tel que représenté à la figure 2 et intègre une antenne permettant d'échanger des informations avec un transpondeur intégré au document 10. Le document 10 comporte un support 16 par exemple en papier épais comme la page de couverture d'un passeport, auquel est fixé le transpondeur 11 et sur lequel sont imprimées des données alphanumériques 12, par exemple une suite de mots, lettres ou chiffres concernant l'identité du porteur du document 10.This box 20 includes a transparent pane on which an identity document 10 can be placed as shown in FIG. 2 and includes an antenna making it possible to exchange information with a transponder integrated into the document 10. The document 10 includes a support 16 for example in thick paper such as the cover page of a passport, to which the transponder 11 is fixed and on which alphanumeric data 12 are printed, for example a series of words, letters or numbers concerning the identity of the holder of the document 10 .
Une photographie 13 et un élément de sécurité 14 sont également présents sur le support 16.A photograph 13 and a security element 14 are also present on the support 16.
Le transpondeur 11 comporte un circuit électronique connu en lui-même et une antenne.The transponder 11 comprises an electronic circuit known in itself and an antenna.
L'élément de sécurité 14 est constitué ici par une bande iridescente.The security element 14 is constituted here by an iridescent strip.
Le document 10 comporte encore, outre les données alphanumériques 12, un code 17 constitué ici par une ligne OCR, établie au moyen d'un algorithme normalisé.Document 10 also comprises, in addition to the alphanumeric data 12, a code 17 constituted here by an OCR line, established by means of a standardized algorithm.
Ce code 17 conventionnel peut être remplacé par et/ou associé à un code à barres matriciel, réparti sur le document, ou par d'autres codes mentionnés plus haut.This conventional code 17 can be replaced by and / or associated with a matrix bar code, distributed on the document, or by other codes mentioned above.
Lors du contrôle du document d'identité 10, ce dernier est placé sur la vitre du boîtier 20, comme illustré sur la figure 5.When checking the identity document 10, the latter is placed on the glass of the housing 20, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
Le dispositif radiofréquence 3 lit alors à distance, et éventuellement décrypte, les informations enregistrées dans le transpondeur 11, pendant que le scanner du lecteur de code acquiert une image de tout ou partie des données imprimées (lisibles en lumière naturelle ou non) présentes sur le document et que le décodeur du lecteur de code décode les données correspondant au code. Le lecteur de code peut être apte à lire dans l'infrarouge et/ou dans le visible. Le traitement des données collectées par le lecteur de code et par le dispositif radiofréquence 3 est effectué par le dispositif de gestion de données 2.The radio frequency device 3 then remotely reads, and possibly decrypts, the information recorded in the transponder 11, while the scanner of the code reader acquires an image of all or part of the printed data (legible in natural light or not) present on the document and the code reader decoder decodes the data corresponding to the code. The code reader may be able to read in the infrared and / or in the visible. The data collected by the code reader and by the radio frequency device 3 is processed by the data management device 2.
Les données provenant du lecteur de code 4 sont comparées dans l'exemple décrit à des données enregistrées dans le transpondeur, relatives à celles qui font l'objet du code, ce qui permet de détecter une éventuelle tentative de falsification des informations en cas de non correspondance des données.The data coming from the code reader 4 are compared in the example described with data recorded in the transponder, relating to those which are the subject of the code, which makes it possible to detect a possible attempt to falsify the information in the event of failure data matching.
Le contrôle de la date d'expiration du document d'identité peut aussi s'effectuer de manière automatique.The expiration date of the identity document can also be checked automatically.
Dans l'exemple décrit, le dispositif radiofréquence 3 permet, outre la lecture des informations contenues dans le transpondeur 11, la programmation de ce dernier, comme illustré par la figure 4.In the example described, the radiofrequency device 3 allows, in addition to reading the information contained in the transponder 11, the programming of the latter, as illustrated in FIG. 4.
Ainsi, il est possible d'enregistrer des données supplémentaires dans le transpondeur 11, par exemple une date d'entrée sur le territoire.Thus, it is possible to record additional data in the transponder 11, for example a date of entry into the territory.
L'imprimante 6 peut être utilisée, le cas échéant, pour imprimer sur le document d'identité 10 un tampon comportant par exemple la date du contrôle.The printer 6 can be used, if necessary, to print on the identity document 10 a stamp comprising for example the date of the check.
Dans l'exemple décrit, l'impression du document 10 a lieu pendant l'échange de données entre le transpondeur 11 et le dispositif radiofréquence 3, ce qui permet de gagner du temps.In the example described, the document 10 is printed during the exchange of data between the transponder 11 and the radiofrequency device 3, which saves time.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée à ce qui vient d'être décrit. On peut notamment adjoindre au dispositif de contrôle 1 un capteur 5 magnétique et/ou optique et/ou électrique permettant par exemple de détecter et/ou d'identifier un élément de sécurité présent sur le document d'identité.Of course, the invention is not limited to what has just been described. One can in particular add to the control device 1 a magnetic and / or optical and / or electrical sensor 5 making it possible, for example, to detect and / or identify a security element present on the identity document.
Alternativement à un scanner, on peut employer une caméra.As an alternative to a scanner, a camera can be used.
La caméra peut ne pas être intégrée à un boîtier sous une vitre transparente mais disposée au dessus d'une surface de réception sur laquelle est déposé le document d'identité pendant la lecture et/ou la programmation du transpondeur.The camera may not be integrated into a box under a transparent window but placed above a reception surface on which the identity document is deposited during the reading and / or programming of the transponder.
Le document d'identité peut alors être imprimé par une tête d'impression disposée au dessus de la surface de réception précitée.The identity document can then be printed by a print head disposed above the aforementioned reception surface.
On peut également remplacer le boîtier avec vitre par un boîtier muni d'une fente 30 ou d'une fenêtre de lecture, comme illustré sur la figure 6. It is also possible to replace the box with window by a box provided with a slot 30 or with a reading window, as illustrated in FIG. 6.
