Definitions

  • This invention relates to an interactive method of capturing images of documents, and to a system for analysing captured images of such documents.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to banknotes, though it may also be used to capture and analyse other documents of value and government issued documents, such as identification cards.
  • Another previously proposed system disclosed in CN106846603 relates to a method and device for identifying the authenticity of a banknote which involves acquiring images in the region of the serial number of the note, and judging whether the acquired image information is consistent with other notes.
  • This method requires the user to be suspicious of the note in the first place and provides no other motivation to capture the image. It focuses only on a specific regions of interest. It also does not show how to take a consistent image and therefore the ability to really discern the validity of the document is in question. Further, it does not allow for nor direct the output for quality metrics or the history of a document to be discerned or documented.
  • a template of a document of value to a handheld image capture device, wherein the handheld image capture device has a display screen and a camera;
  • the template preferably includes at least one image of the document of value.
  • the template may include a plurality of images of the document of value, such as images of the document from different sides, or images of different areas of the document. This is particularly useful in the case of banknotes and the like which have different designs on the obverse and reverse sides, and which may have different security features in different areas of the banknote. This enables two or more digital photographs of different sides and/or areas of the banknote to be taken by the handheld image capture device and transmitted to the remote storage system for analysis.
  • the steps of comparing the generated image of the document of value with the template and activating the camera to take a digital photograph of the document of value may be carried out by the user of the handheld image capture device.

  • the participant attempts to match the banknote in his/her possession with the banknote template on the screen of his/her mobile device as described with reference to Figure 2 and takes a photograph of the banknote at 514.
  • the App determines whether a matching photograph has been successfully taken at 515. If unsuccessful, the participant is invited by the App to attempt to take another photograph.
  • a successful participant is also invited by the Currency Educational App to take part in an educational game or quiz in which the App provides a number of questions related to the selected banknote 517.
  • the quiz questions preferably include some questions relating to security features of the banknote, and they may also include questions about other features or information relating to the banknote.
  • the Currency Educational App is preferably programmed to provide feedback on the quiz performance of the participant at 518 and, in some circumstances, the Currency Educational App may invite the participant to re-take the quiz at 519.
  • the Currency Educational App also sends the results of the quiz to the remote storage system 30 of the administrator of the program at 520 where the results are stored in a banknote quiz database.
  • a third feedback and reporting stage 530 the administrator of the Currency Educational App program can analyse the results of quiz performance from a number of different participants in the currency education program to provide feedback about quiz performance at 532.
  • the administrator can produce quiz performance reports at regular intervals, such as every month, at 534 which are provided to the Central Bank at 536.
  • the Central Bank can then use the quiz performance reports to analyse the level of knowledge of the general public about security and other features of banknotes in circulation.
  • the photographs of banknotes taken by participants in the Currency Educational App program and stored in the banknote database 34 may also be provided to the Central Bank for analysis. This enables the Central Bank to perform analysis on banknotes on circulation in accordance with various parameters.
  • the parameters may include: quality parameters used to classify the degree of wear or aging of the documents of value photographed; authenticity parameters for determining the authenticity of the documents of value
  • the Central Bank or the administrator of the Currency Educational App program may also use a statistical analyser as described with reference to Figure 1 to produce a statistical representation of the population of photographs of documents of value stored in the database.
  • the statistical analysis may be performed in accordance with any one of more of the following: the quality of the documents of value represented by photographs in the population; the average age of the documents of value represented by photographs in the population; the relative numbers of authentic and non-authentic documents of value represented by photographs in the population; the geographical locations of the documents of value represented by photographs in the population; and the circulation velocity of the documents of value represented by photographs in the population.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de capture d'une image d'un document de valeur (10) destiné à une analyse dans laquelle un modèle du document est affiché sur un écran d'affichage (22) d'un dispositif de capture d'image portatif (20), tel qu'un téléphone mobile. Un document de valeur est placé dans le champ de vision d'un appareil photo (24) du dispositif de capture d'image portatif de telle sorte que l'appareil photo génère une image du document. L'image générée est comparée au modèle, et lorsque l'image générée correspond sensiblement au modèle, l'appareil photo est activé pour prendre une photographie numérique du document, et la photographie numérique est transmise à un système de stockage à distance (30) pour une analyse. Le procédé peut faire partie d'un programme éducatif de monnaie ou de jeu, d'une compétition pour encourager des membres du public à utiliser leurs téléphones mobiles pour capturer des images de bonne qualité de documents pour une analyse.
