Description

TITLE

Security element and identification document

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a security element according to the preamble of claim 1 and an identification document according to claim 13.

PRIOR ART ID cards, in particular passport books, typically comprise a cover, a plurality of visa pages and a data page. The visa pages and the data page are combined with the cover to form a passbook and form a single unit.

The data page of a passbook includes personal information of the owner, such as a photograph, name, date of birth, etc. An example of such a data page is disclosed in WO 2006/079224.

In the case of passport forgeries, it happens that the data page is cut out of a passbook and installed in another passbook. As a result, the visa pages and the cover no longer match the data page.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Based on this prior art, the invention has for its object to provide a security feature, which allows a simple check of the correct assignment of at least two support parts of a comprehensive at least two support members element, in particular an identification document. Accordingly, a security element with an authenticity information for checking the correct combination or assignment of at least two or two carrier parts comprises at least a first subelement with a first subinformation and a second subelement with a second subinformation. The first sub-element can be assigned to a first carrier part and the second sub-element can be assigned to a second carrier part. Both sub-elements are movable from a starting position into a Übeφröfungslage in which superimpose the two sub-elements, wherein the first part information and the second part information in the inspection position represent the said authenticity information.

In the checking position, the authenticity information is formed by the first part information and the second part information. This makes it very easy to check whether the assignment of the first carrier part to the second carrier part is correct. If one of the two partial information is not suitable for the other partial information, then information is displayed from which it can be perceived that the information is not the said authentication information. Thus, the examiner, who checks the correct assignment of the two carrier parts, signaled that the two carrier parts do not belong together, indicating a manipulation. In a development, the security element comprises, in addition to the first sub-element and the second sub-element, a third sub-element with a third sub-information. The third subelement can be assigned to a third carrier part, which third subelement is movable relative to the first subelement from a starting position into a checking position, in which the two subelements, ie the first and the third subelement, overlap, wherein the first subinformation and the third subinformation in the review is another authentication information.

The further authentication information, which is represented by the first partial information and the third partial information, preferably differs in appearance from the authenticity information, which is represented by the first partial information and the second partial information. The two authenticity information can also be the same or similar to each other. Preferably, the first part information and the second part information in the the authentication information and / or the first partial information and the third partial information complete the further authentication information in the checking position. Completing is understood to mean that the partial information complement each other and thus form the authenticity information. For example, the first part information forms a first part of the authenticity information and the second part information forms a second part of the authenticity information, the sum of the two parts then yielding the authenticity information. Generally speaking, the sum of the two sub-information of the corresponding sub-elements gives said authenticity information.

However, the authenticity information can also be represented by supplementing or by covering areas of the partial information. For example, it is conceivable that the one partial information covers areas of the other partial information. In addition, said partial information in the region of the overlap can be provided with additional partial information which then supplements the other partial information on the other carrier part. Preferably, the first sub-element or the first sub-information is different from the second sub-element or to the second sub-information. Furthermore, the optionally present third partial element or the possibly present third partial information is preferably different from the first or second partial element. As a result, the partial information can be configured as desired. Alternatively, however, the partial information or the partial elements can also be designed to be identical to one another.

The said carrier parts, to which the said parts elements are associated with the partial information, can be part of the security element. In particular, when the sub-elements are firmly connected to the carrier parts or even integrated into the carrier parts.

In a first development, the carrier parts are formed separately from each other and are not connected to each other. The support parts, which each have a sub-element is assigned, are formed separately from each other. Consequently, the sub-elements of the security element are formed separately from each other. In other words, the security element has the first carrier part with the first sub-element, the second carrier part with the second sub-element and optionally the third carrier part with the third sub-element, wherein the carrier parts are formed separately from each other.

In a second development, the carrier parts are formed separately from one another and are in contact with each other via a connection point. The connection point can be mechanical and / or cohesive. A mechanical connection point can be, for example, a seam of a sew-in point. A cohesive connection point can be, for example, a splice. In a third development, the carrier parts are integrally connected to each other.

Preferably, the authenticity information is at least one image and / or at least one alphanumeric character, wherein the first part information represents a first part of the at least one image or the at least one alphanumeric character and wherein the second part information comprises a second part of the at least one image represents an alphanumeric character. Preferably, the authentication information is graphically representable information.

The image as authenticity information may be, for example, a photograph, a portrait of the holder of a passport, the outline of a country, a state emblem, a state flag or graphic information. The alphanumeric authentication information may be, for example, a document number, an approval number or a code.

Preferably, the part information is provided optically distinguishable from immediately adjacent areas which are part of the sub-element. The partial information is thus visually recognizable by a viewer. Preferably, the partial information is provided as an opaque and / or translucent area. These areas are then clearly recognizable by the user and form at least part of the partial information. Preferably, at least one of the sub-elements comprises at least one transparent or translucent area as well as an opaque and / or translucent area. Due to the transparent or translucent region, the partial information of another subelement becomes visible upon superimposition, whereby the said authenticity information can be completed. As a result of the transparent or translucent region of one partial information, the other partial information of another partial element becomes visible.

Particularly preferably, the transparent or translucent region is provided by a window in the corresponding carrier part, wherein in the region of the window opaque and / or translucent the part information representing areas are present. The other part information is then visible through the transparent or translucent areas through the window and in this way the authentication information is assembled. Said parts representing the partial information are preferably provided by a processing means.

The opaque area is preferably used to supplement the other partial information, wherein the opaque area provides the partial information as such, and / or wherein the opaque area is additionally provided within its area with further partial information which also supplements the other partial information.

The partial information in the window can appear as positive or negative depending on the viewing direction. Positive and negative can be true positives and negatives, in the sense that they are equal to each other as positive and negative. Alternatively, positive and negative may alternatively be false positives or negatives, in the sense that they are unequal to each other as positive and negative, for example by arranging further partial information in an opaque region.

Particularly preferably, the first partial information is present as at least one opaque and / or translucent area in a transparent or translucent window, while the second and possibly the third partial information is present as at least one opaque area, which then passes through the transparent or translucent window of the first partial information becomes visible. The sub-information can consist of several Be composed of areas or only one area.

Said processing means is preferably a printer, said at least one area being printed. Alternatively, the processing means may also be a laser, said at least one region being providable by a laser-activatable additive which is color-changeable by laser processing, or wherein said at least one region is provided by a metal foil or plastic pigments obtained by processing A laser are locally destructible, can be provided. The latter is also referred to as metal ablation or plastic ablation. The said areas can also be used in combination with one another using the mentioned processing means.

The said laser-activatable additive is preferably present in the material with which the window is provided. Advantageously, said laser-activatable additive takes the form of plastic pigments present in the window. Said metal foil or plastic segments for ablation are preferably also a part of the window and may extend over the entire window area or over only a part thereof. Preferably, the authenticity information is personalized information, in particular a portrait or an alphanumerically representable personalized information. However, the authenticity information can be individualized information, in particular a document number. Preferably, the authentication information on the subelements is divided according to a random scheme. Consequently, the partial information has a random shape. Alternatively, the authentication information on the subelements is divided according to a predetermined scheme or pattern. Preferably, the sub-elements are defined in terms of area, wherein the area of all sub-elements is preferably identical. If the carrier parts on which the sub-elements are arranged are connected to one another, the sub-elements are preferably positioned in the respectively same position on the carrier parts. For example, the sub-elements are delimited by an outer circumferential line, wherein the limited by the circumferential line surface of all sub-elements is identical. In the inspection position, the sub-elements are preferably at least partially congruent or completely congruent one above the other.

The first, second and / or third partial information or the authenticity information are preferably optically perceptible information. Particularly preferably, the partial information or the authenticity information are designed so that they can be recognized by the naked eye without the aid of further aids.

Additionally or alternatively, the first, second, and / or third part information or the authenticity information can also be designed such that it becomes recognizable with the aid of ultraviolet light or infrared light.

In one development, the first, second and / or third partial information can be covered by a security pressure, which preferably has a larger surface area than the area of the said partial areas.

An identification document, in particular a passport, comprises at least one security element according to the above description and at least one first side corresponding to the first carrier part and a second carrier part corresponding second side, wherein the first partial element is fixedly associated with the first side and wherein the second partial element fixed to the second Is associated with a superposition of the two sides in the review position, the first part information and the second part information in the overlapping area said authenticity information, in particular complete. The first side and the second side communicate with each other via a joint, such as a seam.

In a development, the identification document has a third carrier part corresponding third page, wherein the third sub-element is fixed to the third page is assigned, and wherein in an overlay in the review position of the two sides, the first part information and the third part information in the overlaid area represent said further authenticity information, in particular complete. The third side communicates with the first and second sides via a junction.

The sub-elements are preferably integral components of the respective side, so that the sub-elements can not be removed from the respective side. The first page preferably has a data page and the second page a visa page or a cover page of a passport. The data page is typically made of plastic, especially polycarbonate, while the visa side is made of a security paper. In the embodiment with the first, second and third sub-elements for providing the two authenticity information, the third side corresponding to the third carrier element is a cover page.

Further embodiments are given in the dependent claims.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

FIG. 1 shows an identification document 16, in particular a passport, with a security element 1 according to the invention. The identification document 16 will be further described below in detail. With reference to Figures 1 and 2 to 4, the security element 1 will now be explained in more detail. The security element 1 comprises an authenticity information 2 for checking the correct combination or assignment of two or at least two, here three, carrier parts 3, 4, 5. The authenticity information signals to the viewer whether the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 to be assessed match one another , or whether the carrier parts 3, 4, 5, in particular after an unauthorized manipulation such as an exchange of one of the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 do not match.

The security element 1 comprises at least a first sub-element 6 with a first sub-information 7 and a second sub-element 8 with a second sub-information 9. By a relative movement, in particular by superimposing the first sub-element 6 together with the first sub-information 7 to / with the second sub-element 8 together with the second partial information 8, the authentication information 2 is provided. The first sub-element 6 is assigned to a first carrier part 3 and the second sub-element 8 is assigned to a second carrier part 4. The two sub-elements 6, 8 are movable relative to one another from a starting position into a checking position, wherein the two carrier parts 3, 4 are moved toward one another from the starting position. In the figure 3 left, the carrier parts 3, 4 are shown in the starting position. In the figure 3 right, the carrier parts 3, 4 and thus also the sub-elements 6, 8 in the shown. The sub-elements 6, 8 are superimposed in the checking position and the first sub-information 7 and the second sub-information 9 correspondingly represent said authenticity information 2 in the checking position. The authenticity information in the example according to FIG. 3 comprises the letters A, B, C, D, which are arranged in a rectangle. From the figure 3 can be well recognized that in the starting position, the partial information 7, 9 in isolation are not perceptible as something informative information. Only by merging the first partial information 7 with the second partial information 9 is the authenticity information 2 visible to the viewer. If one of the carrier parts 3, 4 has now been replaced by a manipulated carrier part with a different partial information, then the authenticity information would not be displayed because the two partial information 7, 9 no longer match in the event of a manipulation. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, the security element 1 comprises, in addition to the first sub-element 6 and the second sub-element 8, a third sub-element 10 with a third sub-information 11. The third sub-element 10 is assigned to a third carrier part 5. The third sub-element 10 with the third sub-information 11 is movable relative to the first sub-element 6 with the first sub-information 7 from a starting position into a checking position. In the checking position, the first sub-element 6 and the third sub-element are superimposed and superimposed, the first sub-information 7 and the third sub-information 11 representing a further authenticity information 12 in the checking position. The authenticity information 12 is shown correspondingly in FIG. 4 and has the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.

With reference to FIGS. 2 to 4, it can be well recognized that the first partial information of the first partial element 6 is the same for the combination with the second partial information 9 and for the combination with the third partial information 11. So you can with this a partial information in combination with the second partial information 9 and the third partial information 11 represent a plurality of, in particular mutually different, authenticity information 2, 12. The representation of the authenticity information 2, 12 is essentially achieved by a completion of the respective sub-information 7, 9, 11 with the other sub-information 7, 9, 11. The first partial information 7 and the second partial information 9 thereby complete the image so that the authentication information 2 is provided, while the first partial information 7 and the third partial information 11 complete the image such that the further authentication information 12 is displayed. It is essentially a summation of two pieces of information, which then leads to the representation of the authenticity information 2, 12. It can also be said that the two partial information to be combined each add to the authenticity information.

The carrier parts 3, 4, 5 may be separately formed separately from each other in a first variant. In this context, the term "separately" is understood to mean that the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 are not physically in communication with each other but are two separate parts. A separate training could for example be used when assigning a leaflet to a drug container. The patient or medical staff could then check that the package leaflet matches the medication container.

In a second variant, the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 may be formed separately from one another, wherein the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 are connected to one another via a connection point. The connection point can be designed in various ways. In a first development according to the second variant, the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 via a mechanical, preferably non-cohesive, connection point in contact. Such a compound is, for example, a compound, as is common in book printing, especially in passport printing. For example, the carrier parts

3, 4, 5 connected to each other via a Einnähstelle with a thread. The carrier parts 3,

4, 5 are formed separately from each other, but are on this mechanical connection in contact. In a second embodiment of the second variants For example, the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 can communicate with each other via a material connection, such as a splice. The cohesive connection can be additionally secured in a development by a mechanical connection. In a third variant, carrier parts 3, 4, 5 can also be integral with one another. This development has the particular advantage that an increased security against counterfeiting is created and can easily detect a manipulation of a one-piece document. The invention has the advantage in all variants that the replacement of one of the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 can be checked on the basis of the authenticity information 2, 12. If one of the carrier parts 3, 4, 5 is exchanged with another carrier part in an illegal manner, an inspector can check this by moving the corresponding carrier parts 3, 4, 5 from the starting position to the checking position.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 4, the authenticity information is essentially an alphanumeric character, here a letter and a number. The sign is shown here as a directly recognizable sign, see points B and C, and points 1 and 4, or as a sign indirectly arranged in a frame, see points A and D, and points 2 and 3.

However, the authenticity information 2, 12 can also be designed differently, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG. 5 shows the combination between an image of a person with alphanumeric characters. In the figure 6, the authenticity information 2, 12 has the form of a portrait. In Figure 7, the authenticity information 2, 12 is in the form of various alphanumeric characters.

The authenticity information 2, 12 can therefore be designed differently, as illustrated in the figures. Particularly preferred is the authenticity information 2, 12 but individualized or personalized. Individualized information means information which is assigned to a document. Under a personalized information information is understood, which allows a conclusion on the owner of the document. The serial number of a document is a Example of an individualized authenticity information 2, 12. A portrait, a date of birth or the place of birth are examples of a personalized authenticity information.

FIG. 5 shows that the first partial information 7 represents a first part of the at least one image or of the at least one alphanumeric character. The second partial information 9, which is shown to the right of the first partial information 7, represents a second part of the image or of the alphanumeric character. The overlay of the first partial information 7 and the second partial information 9 is then displayed on the far right. The overlay here is a kind of summation between the two partial information 7 and 9. The first partial information supplements the second partial information for the first authentication information 2.

In the further image set in FIG. 5, the combination of the first partial information 7 with the third partial information 11 is shown. The first partial information 7 is shown at the left-hand side, followed by the third partial information 11. At the far right, the superimposition of the first partial information 7 with the third partial information 11 is shown. This overlay forms the further authenticity information 12. It can be well recognized from FIG. 5 that the first part information 7 is identical for both authenticity information 2, 12. The second and the third partial information 9, 11 are different from each other, which then results in a different authenticity information 2, 12.

FIGS. 6 and 7 show very similar configurations of FIG. 5, for which reason reference is made to the above description. Of all the embodiments in the figures, it can be seen that the partial information 7, 9, 11 is provided optically distinguishable from immediately adjacent regions, which are also regions of the partial element 6, 8, 10. The partial element 6, 8, 10 thus comprises optically perceivable partial information 7, 9, 11. The partial information 7, 9, 11 is provided in particular as an opaque and / or translucent area in the partial elements 6, 8, 10. The opaque or translucent region bears the reference numeral 21. An opaque region is understood to mean a region which is essentially non-transparent. By a translucent area is meant an area which is slightly translucent but not complete is transparent. Such a region is visually perceptible.

At least one of the sub-elements, here the sub-element 7 further comprises at least one transparent or translucent region 13 through which the sub-information 9, 11 of the other sub-elements 8, 10 is visible when superimposed, as well as an opaque or translucent region 21 the authenticity information 2, 12 can be displayed or completed. By a transparent region is meant an area which is substantially completely transparent or transparent. A translucent region is understood to mean a region which is not completely transparent and is not opaque, so that an information located behind this region can be optically detected by the translucent region.

The transparent or translucent region 13 is preferably provided by a window 14. The window 14 is shown in FIG. The window 14 is part of the carrier part 3 and is preferably firmly integrated in the carrier part 3. Opaque and / or translucent areas representing the partial information 7 are present in the region of the window. The partial information 7 is shown in the figure 1 in the window 14 as a black area 7. The areas around the black area 7 are transparent or translucent and the observer can look through these areas in the viewing direction V and in the viewing direction H and can recognize an underlying further information. If now the carrier part 3 is folded over in the direction of the second carrier part 4 from the starting position into the checking position, then the window 14 comes to lie on the second part information 9. The user can then see in the direction H the second part information through the window 14 therethrough. The second partial information 9 and the first partial information 7 represent the said authenticity information 2, in which case the first partial information 7 completes the second partial information 9. Equally, folding over the first carrier part 3 to the third carrier part 5 from the starting position into the checking position can represent the authenticity information 12. In the direction of view V, the viewer can look through the window 14 and thereby recognizes the third part information 11. The first part information 7 and third part information 11 complete the further authenticity information 12. With regard to the viewing direction V and H, it can also be said that in the viewing direction V, the first partial information 7 is recognized as positive and the viewing direction H the first partial information as negative. The partial information 7, 9, 11 are provided on the corresponding sub-elements 6, 8, 10 by a suitable processing means. The processing means may on the one hand be a printer. Areas or partial areas of said partial information 7, 9, 11 are printed by the printer. The processing means may alternatively or in combination with the printer be a laser, which provides the said areas or partial areas by means of a laser-activatable additive which is color-changeable by processing with the laser. In a further embodiment, the processing means may be a laser, said portions being provided by local destruction of a metal foil or plastic pigments by the laser. This is metal or plastic ablation. The regions or partial regions, which represent the partial information 7, 9, 11, can also be provided by a combination of the processing means.

With regard to all embodiments, it can be said that the authenticity information 2, 12 can be randomly distributed on the sub-elements 6, 8, 10. That is, the sub-information 7, 9, 11 on the sub-elements 6, 8, 10 has a random shape. The randomness has the advantage that the counterfeit security of such elements is further increased and that a counterfeiter can not produce such security elements in stock. For random allocation, for example, a random number generator can be used.

Alternatively, the authenticity information 2, 12 on the sub-elements 6, 8, 10 can also be divided according to a predetermined scheme, for example according to a predetermined algorithm. That is, the partial information 7, 9, 11 are divided and prepared according to this predetermined scheme. Such an embodiment has the advantage that the authenticity of the partial information can still be checked as such at a later time.

The sub-elements 6, 8, 10 are preferably defined in terms of area. That means that the Sub-elements 6, 8, 10 have a specific and predefined area. This is shown, for example, in FIG. 1 in that the subelements 6, 8, 10 are delimited by a circumferential line 15. The circumferential line 15 does not necessarily have to be present, but essentially serves as a limit for determining the extent of the partial element 6, 8, 10 on a corresponding carrier part 3, 4, 5. However, the circumferential line can also be printed. The area of all partial elements 6, 8, 10 is preferably identical. Furthermore, the sub-elements 6, 8, 10 in a document, as shown for example in FIG. 1, are each preferably positioned at the same location, so that the superimposition in the checking position is as easy as possible to achieve.

As explained at the beginning, an identification document 16 is shown in FIG. The identification document 16 is preferably a passport. The identification document 16 comprises at least one security element as described above and at least one first side 17 corresponding to the first support part 3 and a second side 18 corresponding to the second support part 4. The first part element 6 is fixedly connected to the first side 17 or an integral part of the first one Page 17. The second sub-element 7 is fixedly connected to the second side 18 or an integral part of the second side 18. When superimposing the pages 17, 18 in the review position, the first sub-information 7 is located above the second sub-information 9 and thus the said authentication information becomes 2 shown. Furthermore, the identification document 16 comprises a third side 19 corresponding to the third carrier part 5. The third side 19 is arranged opposite the second side 18. That is, the first page 17 can be moved to both the second page 18 and the third page 19. The third sub-element 10 is fixedly associated with the third side 19 and is fixed to this or is an integral part thereof. In the case of an overlay in the checking position of the two sides 17, 19, the first sub-information 7 superimposes the third sub-information 11 and in the superimposed area the said authenticity information 12 is displayed or completed.

The first side 17 and the second side 18 and the optionally present third side 19 are connected via a releasable connection such as a seam, with each other. So it is theoretically possible that one of the pages is replaced by a counterfeiter. This can be easily determined by checking the authenticity information and the counterfeit can thus be unmasked in a simple manner become.

The first page 17 is preferably a data page of a passport. The data page is typically made of a plastic, especially polycarbonate. On the data page a variety of personalized information is visually perceptible and / or stored electronically. The second page is preferably a visa page and consists in particular of a security paper. Individualized and / or personalized information may also be present on the Visa page. The third page may also be a visa page or the page of a cover.

In FIGS. 8a to 8d, a further example of partial information 7, 9, 11, which are then combined to authenticity information 2, 12, is shown. In principle, reference may be made to the above description, wherein an additional aspect will be explained in the following with reference to these figures.

In FIG. 8 a, the first partial information 7 has the form of different letters and the second partial information 9 has the shape of the letter A. The first partial information 7 comprises transparent regions 13 and opaque regions 21. The opaque regions 21 are additionally provided with further information provided the opaque areas. This further information is part of the respective sub-information 7 and bear the reference numeral 22. The opaque areas 21 of the first sub-information 7 overlap parts of the second or third sub-information 9, 11 in the reviewing position and then supplement this with the further information 22 within the opaque areas 21. This is shown in Figure 8a in the figure far right.

In FIGS. 8b and 8c, the left-hand side of the first partial information 7 is shown displaced from the other two partial information items 9, 11 for better understanding. In the second figure from the left, the first part information 7 is in the starting position. The first part information 7 comprises transparent areas 13 and opaque areas 21. The opaque areas 21 are additionally provided with further information within the opaque areas. This further information is part of the respective sub-information 7 and bears the reference numeral 22. The opaque areas 21 of the first sub-information 7 overlap in the review position parts of the second and third sub-information 9, 11th and then supplement them with the further information 22 within the opaque areas 21. This is shown in the two figures of FIGS. 8b and 8c on the right.
