Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fälschungs- und Diebstahlsicherungssystem insbesondere für Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumente nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruches. Die Erfindung soll aber nicht nur auf Fälschungs- und Diebstahlsicherungssysteme für Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumente allein beschränkt werden, sondern das erfindungsgemäße Fälschungs- und Diebstahlsicherungssystem soll an/in nahezu beliebigen zu sichernden Gut vorgesehen werden können.The invention relates to a counterfeiting and anti-theft system in particular for value and security documents according to the generic term of the independent Claim.

So zeigt die AT 362 658 ein Sicherheitspapier, ein Verfahren zur Prüfung dieses Sicherheitspapieres und eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Prüfverfahrens, wobei das Sicherheitspapier beispielsweise ein Wertpapier, eine Banknote oder dergleichen sein kann. Innerhalb dieses fälschungssicheren Papiers ist ein thermochromatischer Pigmentfarbstoff eingebracht, welcher bevorzugt aufgedruckt oder innerhalb der Papiermasse verteilt vorgesehen ist. Beim überschreiten einer vorbestimmten Temperatur wird die Farbe dieser thermochromatischen Pigmentfarbstoffe dann reversibel geändert. Dies geschieht dadurch, dass innerhalb des Pigmentfarbstoffes ein durch elektromagnetische Schwingungen von mindestens 10 kHz erwärmbarer Stoff eingebracht ist, welcher insbesondere als elektrisch leitender Stoff in Pulverform dem Pigmentfarbstoff beigemengt ist.Thus, AT 362 658 shows a security paper, a method of testing this Security paper and a device for carrying out the test method, the security paper being for example a security, a banknote or may be the like. Inside this counterfeit-proof paper is one introduced thermochromatic pigment, which is preferably printed or distributed within the paper pulp is provided. When crossing one predetermined temperature is the color of this thermochromatic Pigment dyes then changed reversibly. This happens in that within of the pigment by an electromagnetic vibrations of at least 10 kHz heatable material is introduced, which in particular as electrically conductive substance in powder form is added to the pigment dye.

Aus dieser Druckschrift ist also bereits bekannt, dass ein Papier thermochromatische Pigmentfarbstoffe besitzt und einen durch elektromagnetische Schwingungen anregbaren Stoff, wobei durch Eintrag dieser elektromagnetischen Energie in das fälschungssichere Papier der elektromagnetisch anregbare Stoff Wärme entwickelt und durch diese Wärme die innerhalb des Papiers vorliegenden Pigmentfarbstoffe reversibel die Farbe wechseln.From this document is therefore already known that a paper thermochromatic Pigment dyes and one by electromagnetic vibrations stimulable substance, whereby by entry of this electromagnetic energy in the Tamper-proof paper which develops electromagnetically excitable substance heat and by this heat, the pigmentary dyes present within the paper reversibly change color.

Die DE 196 29 024 A1 zeigt ein Folienmaterial auf zur Darstellung der räumlichen Verteilung hochfrequenter elektromagnetischer Strahlung im EMV-Bereich, wobei dieses Material ein Trägermaterial, ein Grundmaterial, ein HF-Absorptionsmaterial, ein thermooptisch aktives Material, eine Temperierungsschicht und eine Polarisationsfolie aufweist.DE 196 29 024 A1 shows a film material for the representation of the spatial Distribution of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation in the EMC range, wherein this material is a carrier material, a base material, an HF absorption material, a thermo-optically active material, a Temperierungsschicht and a Has polarizing film.

Fällt nun auf diese Folie eine elektromagnetische Strahlung, so wird diese im Absorptionsmaterial absorbiert und in Wärme umgewandelt. Es wird also eine hochfrequente elektromagnetische Strahlung in das Material eingebracht, welches durch Absorption Wärme entwickelt und diese Wärme dann einen Farbumschlag bewirkt.Now falls on this slide electromagnetic radiation, it is in the Absorption material absorbed and converted into heat. So it will be one high-frequency electromagnetic radiation introduced into the material, which Heat develops through absorption and this heat then changes color causes.

Die DE 29 19 649 zeigt ein Sicherheitspapier bestehend aus einem Papierblatt und einem Träger, wobei dieser Träger mit einer nicht näher beschriebenen elektronischen Schaltung in Dünnfilm-Technik versehen ist. Diese elektronische Schaltung soll eine entsprechende Codierung des Sicherheitspapieres ermöglichen und somit die Fälschungssicherheit gesteigert werden. Diese elektronische Schaltung kann hierbei Widerstände, Kondensatoren, Transistoren, Dioden in Form von integrierten Schaltkreisen oder Hybrid-Schaltungen beinhalten.DE 29 19 649 shows a security paper consisting of a paper sheet and a carrier, said carrier having an unspecified electronic circuit is provided in thin-film technology. This electronic Circuit should allow a corresponding coding of the security paper and thus the security against counterfeiting can be increased. This electronic Circuit can be resistors, capacitors, transistors, diodes in shape of integrated circuits or hybrid circuits.

Durch die AT 362 658 ist es also bekannt, einen elektrisch leitenden Stoff durch elektromagnetische Schwingungen innerhalb eines fälschungssicheren Papiers anzuregen, welcher elektrisch leitende Stoff dann unter Wärmeentwicklung einen thermochromatischen Pigmentfarbstoff reversibel zum Farbumschlag bringt. Durch die DE 29 19 649 ist es also allgemein bekannt, eine elektronische Schaltung auf ein Sicherheitspapier aufzubringen, welche elektronische Schaltung auch Widerstände-Kondensatoren, Leiterbahnen und Halbleiterbauelemente enthalten kann.By AT 362 658 so it is known, an electrically conductive material electromagnetic oscillations within a tamper-proof paper to stimulate which electrically conductive material then with the evolution of heat thermochromatic pigment reversibly brings color change. By DE 29 19 649, it is well known, an electronic circuit on a Apply security paper, which electronic circuit also resistors capacitors, Can contain conductor tracks and semiconductor devices.

Die DE 198 33 746 A offenbart ein Sicherheitspapier mit einer eine berührungsfreie Prüfung eines Echtheitsmerkmals ermöglichenden Struktur zur Prüfung der Echtheit von Urkunden, die in optisch lesbarer Form auf dem Sicherheitspapier aufgezeichnet sind. Dazu wird in ein Sicherheitspapier (z.B. eine Banknote) ein elektronischer Schaltkreis eingebettet. Zur Echtheitsprüfung wird an den Schaltkreis ein Signal übertragen und das darauf vom Schaltkreis ausgesendete Signal empfangen und ausgewertet.DE 198 33 746 A discloses a security paper with a non-contact test authenticity feature enabling structure for verifying the authenticity of documents are recorded in optically readable form on the security paper. This is in a Security paper (e.g., a bill) embedded electronic circuit. to Authentication will transmit a signal to the circuit and the circuit on the circuit transmitted signal received and evaluated.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, ein kostengünstiges, flexibel anpassbares und zuverlässiges Fälschungs- und Diebstahlsicherungssystem für insbesondere Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumente bereit zustellen.Object of the present invention is a cost-effective, flexible customizable and reliable counterfeiting and anti-theft system for in particular to provide value and security documents.

Kern der Erfindung ist es, als Fälschungs- und Diebstahlsicherungssystem insbesondere für Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumente in oder an dem Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument elektronische Bausteine in Form von mindestens einem LCR-Schwingkreis vorzusehen, welcher angeregt durch eine elektromagnetische Strahlungsquelle mittels der spezifischen Verlustleistung Wärme produziert, welche Wärme direkt oder über eine spezifische indikatorreaktion ermittelt werden kann.The core of the invention is as a counterfeiting and anti-theft system especially for value and security documents in or at the value and Security document electronic components in the form of at least one LCR resonant circuit to be provided, which is excited by an electromagnetic Radiation source produced by means of specific heat dissipation, which Heat can be determined directly or via a specific indicator reaction.

Hierbei wird bevorzugt, wenn die elektromagnetische Strahlungsquelle eine hochfrequente HF-Strahlungsquelle ist und im Mega-Herz-Frequenzbereich abstrahlt.In this case, it is preferred if the electromagnetic radiation source a high-frequency RF radiation source is and in the mega-heart frequency range radiates.

Diese spezifische Indikatorreaktion kann beispielsweise durch Farbpigmente innerhalb des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumentes vorgesehen sein, welche Farbpigmente dann durch die Wärme reversibel oder irreversibel zum Farbwechsel angeregt werden. Dieser Farbwechsel ist dann optisch durch das Auge eines Prüfers ggf. unter Zuhilfenahme optischer Verstärker sichtbar, oder aber dieser Farbwechsel kann durch ein automatisiertes Messgerät festgestellt werden.This specific indicator reaction can be exemplified by color pigments be provided within the value and security document which Color pigments then reversibly or irreversibly due to the heat to color change be stimulated. This color change is then visually through the eye of an examiner possibly with the aid of optical amplifiers visible, or this color change can be detected by an automated measuring device.

Eine andere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Wärme, welche durch die Verlustleistung des LCR-Schwingkreises erzeugt wird direkt durch ein thermographisches Messgerät ausgewertet wird, ohne dass hierbei Farbpigmente innerhalb des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumentes vorgesehen sind, so dass diese Farbpigmente also auch entfallen können.Another embodiment of the invention provides that the heat, which is generated by the power loss of the LCR resonant circuit directly through a thermographic instrument is evaluated without this color pigments within the value and security document are provided so that this So color pigments can be omitted.

In beiden Ausführungsformen der Erfindung wird der mindestens eine LCR-Schwingkreis auf dem Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument über einen externen Hochfrequenz-Sender angeregt, in dessen elektromagnetischem Feld das zu prüfende Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument mit dem LCR-Schwingkreis eingebracht wird und somit dieser LCR-Schwingkreis zum eigenständigen, gedämpften Schwingen angeregt wird, wodurch eine entsprechende Verlustleistung entsteht und die Verlustleistung in Form von Wärme an das Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument abgegeben wird und sich in diesem ausbreitet.In both embodiments of the invention, the at least one LCR resonant circuit on the value and security document via an external Radio frequency transmitter excited in the electromagnetic field that too testing value and security document introduced with the LCR resonant circuit and thus this LCR resonant circuit to the independent, muted Oscillation is excited, whereby a corresponding power loss arises and the power loss in the form of heat to the value and security document is dispensed and spreads in this.

Dieser Hochfrequenz-Sender, welcher also als Prüfgerät wirkt, kann ein integriertes thermographisches Messgerät beinhalten, wenn innerhalb des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumentes keine Farbpigmente vorgesehen sind, sondern die Verlustleistung direkt mittels dieses thermographischen Messgerätes aufgenommen wird.This high-frequency transmitter, which thus acts as a tester, can be an integrated include thermographic meter, if within the value and Security document no color pigments are provided, but the Power loss recorded directly by means of this thermographic instrument becomes.

Durch das Vorsehen des LCR-Schwingkreises lässt sich also durch eine Kombination passiver elektronischer Komponenten wie z.B. Induktivität, Kapazität, Widerstand eine kostengünstige Fälschungssicherheit und gleichzeitig eine Diebstahlsicherung erstellen. Hierzu kann der oder die LCR-Schwingkreis(e) mittels diverser Drucktechniken auf das Wert- und Sicherheitsdokument aufgebracht werden. By providing the LCR resonant circuit can thus be by a Combination of passive electronic components, e.g. Inductance, capacitance, Resistance an inexpensive counterfeit security and at the same time a Create anti-theft device. For this purpose, the one or more LCR resonant circuit (s) means various printing techniques applied to the value and security document become.

Durch den Widerstand in der L-C-R-Schwingkreiskombination, besteht die Möglichkeit, individuelle Sicherheits-Merkmale herzustellen. So kann je nach Auswahl des Widerstandes die Verlustleistung bestimmt werden und somit die produzierte Wärme pro Zeiteinheit. Bei Vorsehen einer Farbänderung von Farbpigmenten durch die Verlustleistung des Widerstandes kann dann eine ganz bestimmte Farbänderung erzielt werden, welche mit dem Auge oder aber mittels von Messgeräten bestimmt werden kann. Somit liegt eine hohe Fälschungs- und Diebstahlssicherung vor. Auch ohne Farbänderung von Farbpigmenten kann die Temperaturänderung des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumentes mittels thermographischer Messgeräte exakt bestimmt werden. Auch hier liegt wieder eine hohe Fälschungs- und Diebstahlssicherung vor.Due to the resistance in the L-C-R resonant circuit combination, there is the Possibility to create individual safety features. So depending on Selection of the resistor the power loss are determined and thus the produced heat per unit time. When providing a color change of Color pigments through the power dissipation of the resistor can then be quite a certain color change can be achieved, which by eye or by means of Measuring devices can be determined. Thus, there is a high counterfeiting and Theft protection before. Even without color change of color pigments, the Temperature change of the value and security document by means of thermographic measuring devices can be determined exactly. Again, there is one again high counterfeiting and theft protection.

Grosser Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung ist also, dass die Schwingkreisfunktion so abgestimmt wird, dass diese L-C-R-Kombination für die handelsüblichen Diebstahlsicherungen im MHz-Bereich eingesetzt werden können.The big advantage of the present invention is therefore that the resonant circuit function is so is agreed that this L-C-R combination for the commercial Anti-theft devices in the MHz range can be used.

Die L-C-R-Schwingkreiskombination hat eine Zusatzfunktion, die es ermöglicht, eine versteckte Produktkennzeichnung sichtbar zu machen. Durch ein Handgerät, das eine RF (Radiofrequenz) z.B. in einem Abstand von < 1 mm an die Schwingkreiskomponenten z.B. in einer Folie des Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumentes abgibt (hohe Energie), wird in dem Widerstand des Schwingkreises eine Verlustleistung entstehen, die Wärme erzeugt und diese an die Umgebung abgibt.The L-C-R resonant circuit combination has an additional function that allows a make hidden product identification visible. Through a handset, the an RF (Radio Frequency) e.g. at a distance of <1 mm to the Resonant circuit components e.g. in a slide of the value and security document gives off (high energy), is in the resistance of the resonant circuit a Power loss arise that generates heat and emits it to the environment.

Die Wärme des Widerstands kann dann wie oben bereits erwähnt direkt auf eine temperaturreaktive Farbe gegeben (z.B. auf der Frontseite eines Etiketts) werden, die dann ein Sicherheitsmerkmal in gedruckter Form des Widerstands oder einen zusätzlichen Druck freigibt und man somit eine Produktbeglaubigung (authentication) für den Kunden erhält. Diese IR-Quelle (Widerstand) kann durch spezielle Codierungen (Produktname, Nummern, usw.), die mittels Siebdruck oder Laser eine Information in Form des Widerstands erstellt, mit thermographischen Leseeinheiten identifiziert werden. The heat of the resistor can then directly to a temperature responsive paint (e.g., on the front of a label), then a security feature in printed form of resistance or a releases additional pressure and thus a product authentication (authentication) for the customer receives. This IR source (resistor) can be powered by special Codings (product name, numbers, etc.) that are screen-printed or laser-printed Information created in the form of resistance, with thermographic reading units be identified.

Die temperaturreaktiven Farbe, bzw. der temperaturreaktive Bereich kann zusätzlich mit einer Sichtschutzfarbe oder einem Sicherheitshologramm versehen werden, damit Manipulationen vorgebeugt wird.The temperature-reactive color, or the temperature-responsive area may additionally be provided with a privacy color or safety hologram, so that manipulation is prevented.

Die Sichtschutzfarbe bzw. das Sicherheitshologramm wird erst für die Produktbeglaubigung (authentication) vor den Augen eines Kunden entfernt.The privacy color or security hologram is only for the Product authentication removed in the eyes of a customer.

Nach der Produktbeglaubigung, dem folgenden Kauf und der automatischen Kassenerfassung, wird die L-C-R-Schwingkreiskombination mechanischer oder elektrisch durch den Eintrag einer entsprechend überhöhten Hochfrequenz zerstört und wird somit funktionsunfähig.After the product certification, the next purchase and the automatic Cash register, the L-C-R resonant circuit combination is mechanical or electrically destroyed by the entry of a correspondingly excessive radio frequency and thus becomes inoperative.

Die L-C-R-Kombination kann auch als zusätzlicher Anhänger an Produkten befestigt werden und muss nach dem Verkauf beim Händler bleiben, der diesen Anhänger zur internen Abrechnung verwendet und danach an den Hersteller zurückschicken muss. Durch diese Massnahme wird die Möglichkeit der ungewünschten Fremdanalyse behindert.The L-C-R combination can also be attached to products as an additional trailer and must remain after the sale at the dealer who this trailer to internal billing and then send back to the manufacturer. By this measure, the possibility of unwanted foreign analysis with special needs.

Diese L-C-R-Produktsicherung kann auch abgestimmt, allein mit unterschiedlichen Frequenzen betrieben werden. Die beschriebenen passiven Elemente werden so gewählt, dass die z.Zt. eingesetzten RF-Diebstahlsicherungen auf diese L-C-R-Kombinationen reagieren.This L-C-R product fuse can also be matched, just with different ones Frequencies are operated. The described passive elements become like that chosen that the z.Zt. used RF anti-theft devices on these L-C-R combinations react.

Mit der L-C-R-Kombination kann eine kostengünstige Fälschungs- und Diebstahlsicherung erstellt werden, die sich durch spezielle Hochfrequenzsender/Lesegeräte, durch Drucktechniken, durch optische Verschlüsselungen, dem Einsatz von Abrechnungssoftware mit PCs und durch ChipKarten zu einem hochtechnisierten Fälschungs- und Diebstahlsicherungssystem für Wert- und Sicherheitsdokumente ausbauen lässt.With the L-C-R combination can be a cost-effective counterfeiting and Anti-theft devices are created by special High-frequency transmitters / readers, by printing techniques, by optical Encryption, the use of billing software with PCs and chip cards to a high-tech counterfeiting and anti-theft system for Have value and security documents removed.
