Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for verifying documents of value, such as banknotes, identity cards, payment cards, tickets, batches or the like, or other elements for product assurance, which have a substrate with at least one light-transmissive region, wherein in at least one light-transmissive region of the substrate Information is arranged, wherein a separate display is used by the separate display at least partially a second information is displayed, which correlates with the first information, in the first and / or second information at least one further, unrecognizable to a viewer without tools and / or readable information is hidden, the substrate is placed with its first information about the second information displayed on the separate display, and the hidden information in transmitted light as a moire pattern is recognizable and / or readable.
  • the invention further relates to a corresponding method for verifying or verifying valuables having a display, for example a computer, notebook or laptop, a cash register of a cash register system, television or a hand-held device.
  • the hidden information advantageously contains, for example, the emission value or the currency of a banknote and can thus serve for checking the authenticity at a point-of-sale terminal.
  • the banknote is placed on the display of the POS terminal and it shows for the cashier the information hidden on the banknote information in plain text.
  • the invention has the object of developing the generic method for checking the authenticity of documents of value, such as banknotes, ID cards, payment cards, tickets, tickets or the like, or other elements for product assurance such that the counterfeit protection and attractiveness for the user or user further increases becomes.
  • the invention encompasses the abovementioned generic method, wherein according to the invention, at least one third information which can be recognized and / or read by the observer without aids is additionally contained in the first and / or second information.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that the uninteresting for a viewer first and / or second information, which usually represents an unstructured, uniform surface, is visually enhanced by the third, visible information.
  • the third information represents an alphanumeric text, for example a single letter or a number or any other Sequence of letters and / or numbers, a symbol or any graphic.
  • the third information may be in a meaningful relationship to the hidden information. Furthermore, the third information may include part of an information and the hidden information displayed may include the overall information.
  • the first, second and third information are each formed by a grid of line-shaped and / or punctiform elements.
  • the linear and / or punctiform elements of the grid of the third information are offset relative to the linear and / or punctiform elements of the grid of the first information and, according to the invention, have a different line thickness or a different point diameter.
  • At least one light-permeable region of the substrate is formed by a transparent window.
  • a preferred embodiment relates to a card with a verification grid which is delivered together with a television set or packaged by a retailer into a sold television set.
  • the grid of the card is matched to the pixel grid of the TV. For example, by placing the card on the display of the TV, the customer can request a warranty number or check whether the TV is an original device or, for example, a fake or reimport.
  • a subsequent individualization can be introduced into all information by, for example, using a laser to modify line thicknesses by ablation or adding by means of blackening.
  • the hidden information can be generated only by laser.
  • Possible fields of application are in particular identification documents, such as passports or identity cards.
  • the information printed on a transparent window is additionally dyed or printed with one or more transparent colors which can form a uniform coloring or a motif print.
  • the coloring or the motif printing can be arranged within the window area or overlapping partially outside the window area.
  • the print motifs or colorings can be visible visually or only after excitation by means of UV light.
  • the grid is applied both on the front or the back or on both sides of the transparent window.
  • the grid is applied in partial segments both on the front and on the back, which complement each other in a view to a total information. This embodiment is particularly advantageous as copy protection.
  • the grid structure can not only by printing methods such as offset, gravure, flexo, inkjet, thermal transfer, laser or stitch print, but according to another advantageous Embodiment also be generated by indirect methods.
  • An example of such an indirect method is in particular the cold foil application, in which first an adhesive or a special color is printed and then pressed onto the still sticky adhesive or the still sticky special color a carrier film with a metallization or a covering coating. Subsequently, the film is peeled off, wherein the metallization or the opaque coating is transferred to the substrate only in the region of the sticky adhesive or the still sticky special ink.
  • the applied raster structure additionally contains, in subareas, further hidden information in the form of minute line breaks or line modulations, which can only be recognized by means of a microscope or identified as a code, for example a hidden barcode. During verification, this additional information does not occur and is either misinterpreted by a forger as misprints or not perceived visually.
  • a line of a grid or the part of a line of a grid is performed as a microtext that can be recognized or read only by means of a microscope or magnifying lens.
  • the printed grid consists of a similar structure of a color absorbing in the infrared wavelength range and a color transparent in the infrared wavelength range.
  • the colors or regions which absorb differently in the infrared wavelength range and which are virtually identical in the visually visible wavelength range are indistinguishable.
  • this hidden feature is against it Easily recognizable and also machine-readable.
  • a visually recognizable pattern such as a picture motif or pattern, or a machine-readable code, such as a bar code, are hidden.
  • color-matched magnetic and non-magnetic colors are combined with one another.
  • subregions differ in their luminescence property, such as, for example, their hue or excitation wavelength, or subdivide into luminescent and non-luminescent regions.
  • Fig. 1 shows in Fig. 1a a value document which has a substrate with at least one light-transmissive region, wherein first information is arranged in at least one light-permeable region of the substrate.
  • the first information shows a grid perceived by an observer as an unstructured light gray area in the form of a "keyhole”.
  • a third information is arranged within the first information.
  • the third information shows a grid, which is perceived by a viewer as a dark gray area in the form of a bell.
  • FIG. 1b shows a second information, wherein the second information consists of a grid, which is perceived by a viewer as an unstructured light gray area in the form of a "keyhole".
  • the information hidden in the first information, which becomes visible through the overlay, is in Fig. 1c shown.
  • Within the bell is the letter “B” and outside the bell a pattern in the form of sound waves emanating from the lower left edge of the "keyhole”.
  • This hidden information is according to Fig. 2 hidden in the first information by an offset of adjacent line elements of the grid ( Fig. 2a ), a modulation of the line thickness of adjacent line elements of the grid ( Fig. 2b ), ie by lines of different thickness, and by a combination of line offset and different line thickness ( Fig. 2c ).
  • Fig. 2a to Fig. 2c the area shown in the illustration on the left is shown enlarged ten times in the illustration on the right.
  • the pattern was matched with respect to the grid structure to a specific display with a specific pixel spacing.
  • you can scale down to a standard resolution to decode the same pattern with different displays.
  • it is also possible.
  • FIG. 3 shows four quadrants 3, 4, 5 and 6 in a window 2 in a substrate 1, which have screen rulings for different displays.
  • quadrant 3 shows a grid with grid structures that have a first grid spacing
  • quadrant 4 has a grid with grid structures that have a smaller grid spacing than grid 3
  • quadrant 5 has a grid with grid structures that have a smaller grid spacing than grid 4
  • quadrant 6 a grid with grid structures that have a smaller grid spacing than grid 5.
  • the raster structures are thus structured more and more finely from raster 3 to raster 6.
  • one of the four quadrants displays readable decrypted information. If the window 2 is placed over a display whose pixels have a specific pixel pitch, the grid spacing from quadrant 4, for example, coincides with the pixel pitch of the display, so that according to FIG Fig. 4 the information "EU" shows.
  • a third embodiment according to Fig. 5 shows a fürsichtsinfo 9 in the form of the letter "E", which with a grid with a greater line thickness when the line grid 8 of the environment was made by the review info "E".

  • a greater opacity is visible in the review.
  • Fig. 6 is a line offset in an overlay on a display hidden in the line grids 8 and 9 additional information 10 in the form of the text "50 dollars 50" visible.
  • the overhead information is identical to the review info. This means that the information "E" is recognizable both in appearance and in transparency. The contrast depends on the opacity or density difference of the two areas. If the grids are printed with a white opaque color or provided with a covering white transfer coating by means of a transfer process (hot or cold embossing process), only a transparency information is displayed in addition to the information that can be recognized by the display.
  • a transfer process hot or cold embossing process
  • a transparent interference layer is additionally applied.
  • there is an additional color shift color which is most intense in the area of the info "E" since this area has the largest optically effective coverage.
  • the interference color can be on both the front and the back of the black grid. If the coating is on the black grid (front side), this pattern on a black background shows only the information of the interference color (square in the example). Will the pattern open If the back is placed, then the area of the black grid in the environment of the info "E” is shown in an intensity difference as well as a clear intensity difference in the area of the info "E".
  • the interference layer may consist of a thin Metallevampfung or an interference color, which is preferably applied by screen printing.
  • the pigments contained in the interference screen printing ink may consist of LCP, mica-based interference pigments, etc.
  • a pattern is generated without see-through info, but with supervisory info.
  • the environment of the info "E” was printed with a cover white grid and the information "E” with a black grid.
  • an interference layer is additionally included.
  • the information "E" in the supervision is more intense recognizable because the interference color is visually barely visible on the cover grid.
  • a seventh embodiment differs from the fifth embodiment in that the line widths of the areas with information "E” and clearly differentiate in the environment of the info "E", thus creating areas with different opacity.
  • the supervisor there is an identical overview info.
  • An eighth embodiment corresponds to the seventh embodiment, but additionally has an interference coating.
  • Fig. 8 shows the view of the grid Fig. 7 in review and Fig. 9 in supervision.
  • This example is in the environment to the review info "8" from a printed with opaque white grid 8 with a small line thickness.
  • the grid In the area of the supervisory information "E", the grid consists of a black printed line grid 11 with the same line frequency, but thicker lines, and in the area of supplementing info "E” to "8” in the review of a printed with opaque white grid 12 with the same Grid spacing and line width as the black printed line grid 11.
