- the security feature should be detectable by means of an image capture unit of a smartphone and verifiable with the verarbei processing unit of the smartphone.
- verification should not only examine the presence of an emission but also specific characteristics of the emission.
- a general solution to the above task, which the invention implements, is first of all that a security feature with a specific phosphor equipped, which avoids the problems described above.
- This phosphor must be configured so that it is on the one hand with a light source of a smartphone or a similar mobile computing device, ie in particular a flash LED of a smartphone, excitable. At the same time, the phosphor must be one

- the phosphor can be excited by an electromagnetic radiation of predetermined wavelength for luminescence, whereupon it emits radiation.
- the emission of the phosphor has a cooldown in the ms range.
- the cooldown in the range between 1 to 100 ms, especially before given to in the range between 5 to 50 ms, more preferably selected between 10 and 30 ms.
- the emission of the phosphor can be detected by means of an image acquisition unit of a smartphone.
- the security document is positioned so that the security feature is detected by a picture-taking unit of the smartphone.
- this is done by manual positioning of the security document in front of the image acquisition unit.
- a semi-transparent mask or a position frame in the display of the mobile terminal is shown as a user support, which serves as a position aid.
- the security document may have a human visually recognizable tag positioned within the position frame. The security feature is then located near this tag so that it is within the detection range of the image capture unit.

- Emission can be recorded by the image acquisition unit.
- An optional method step provides that a reference area is defined, which is located immediately adjacent to the security feature.
- the evaluation of captured images of the security feature and the reference area as well as the differences recorded there may be useful for verification of the document in high flicker ambient light.
- an image series or a video of the security feature and optionally of the reference area is recorded by means of an image capture unit of the smartphone in order to detect the emission.
- the recording takes place in the specified recording area. The detection of the emission occurs after completion of the excitation, i. to
- the recording time of the image series recorded by the image acquisition unit or the video is preferably selected so that in the last image of the image series or video no emission of the security feature is more detectable, provided that the predetermined decay times of the phosphor of the security feature are met.
- This last image is taken as a reference image (B ref) .
- a start image can be recorded, which can be included as a further reference in the verification.

- verification of the security feature on the security document can verify the authenticity and integrity of the security document.
- the reference image which is the last image in the image series, is generated in a predetermined time frame, in particular in the ms range, as a result of which emissions with decay times greater than the ms range are likewise filtered out. For this, the reference image can be compared with the before activation of the excitation
- the authenticity of the security feature is in an Off
- the take-up speed in generating the image series is selected so that fluorescent phosphors or features with short cooldowns, i. in the ys range can be excluded as non-verifiable because such short emissions are not detected with sufficient intensity.
- phosphors are excluded with long decay times as unverifiable. If one of the two preceding features points to a fluorescent or phosphorescent phosphor, the result of the authenticity of the security feature is output as "false".
- the outer shape of the security feature can be checked.
- the spectral distribution of the radiation emitted by the luminous substance as well as the decay time of the luminous substance of the security feature are checked

- the distance between the smartphone camera and the security feature when capturing the images can thus be chosen to be very small, since no sharp images are required for the present process because only the emission and, if necessary, the shape of the image
- the small distance between the security feature and the camera has the advantage that more energy is available for the excitation of the phosphor of the security feature, and that the emission of the phosphor is detected over a wide solid angle.
- the minimization of the distance between camera and security feature is particularly significant due to the quadratic dependence of the intensity of the flash light on the distance to the excitation source or the emission from the distance to the detection unit.
- a comparatively low emission can be detected, which would no longer be detectable when recording in the focus range. This reduces the false rejection rate (ie a true security document is rated as wrong).
- Smartphones for example, have a focus range of 60 mm.
- a distance between 10 mm and 80 mm between the image capture unit and the security document with security feature for receiving the images is used for the method.
