Definitions

  • the invention relates to a forgery-proof value document, in particular a postage stamp, and a method for checking a value document.
  • a value document having the features of the preamble of claim 1, a method having the features of the preamble of claim 7 and a test apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 9 are made DE 10322794 A1 known.
  • the security element is applied to the value document by means of a luminescent substance.
  • To verify the value document it is illuminated with an optical scanning signal in a wavelength between 940 nm and 990 nm.
  • the reflection, which causes the illumination, there called the response signal is detected.
  • the detected response signal is checked to see if the security element exists in the image or not. If the security element exists, the value document is genuine.
  • DE 10105273 A1 For example, an apparatus and method are described for verifying a postage on a mailpiece. For this purpose, it is checked whether the mailing contains certain predetermined graphical information or not.
  • the graphical information eg. As images of postage stamps are dictated by the fact that they are stored in a database.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a value document having the features of the preamble of claim 1, a method having the features of the preamble of claim 7 and a test apparatus having the features of the preamble of claim 9, which are not necessarily a fluorescent or phosphorescent substance is used to attach the security element to the value document.
  • the value document according to the invention comprises a two-dimensional area with a security element in the form of a two-dimensional structure.
  • the two-dimensional region is provided with at least one first and at least one further substance, for. B. printed.
  • the two substances have the same hue when illuminated by light visible to a human and have different hues when illuminated with infrared light.
  • the security element is applied by means of the first substance to the value document, the remaining part of the area by means of the at least one further substance. When illuminated with visible light, the entire two-dimensional area appears in the same hue. When illuminated with infrared light, the security element visually distinguishes itself from the remaining area.
  • the value document according to the invention can be printed without fluorescent or phosphorescent substances.
  • the value document is illuminated with infrared light.
  • the value document is a stamp ("Postwert Hil").
  • the check is carried out in a sorting plant.
  • the check is carried out with the aim of checking whether the stamp on the mailpiece is genuine or counterfeit.
  • Real stamps are those issued by a postal service provider. This postal service provider transports the mailpiece and uses for this purpose the sorting system through which the mailpiece runs. If this item of mail is provided with a genuine stamp, the transport of the item of mail has been paid in advance, namely by the purchase of the stamp.
  • the mail piece is provided with a fake stamp, so with a two-dimensional replica of a stamp.
  • the postal service has not received any revenue for the transport because he has not sold this replica.
  • the stamp is provided with a security element in the form of a two-dimensional structure.
  • This two-dimensional structure has z.
  • the security element preferably contains information about the stamp in coded form, for. B. the face value of the stamp and additional requirements for the validity period of the stamp.
  • Fig. 1 shows an example of a stamp 1 with a security element in the form of a matrix code 2, which is printed with an infrared printer ink.
  • the matrix code is exaggerated.
  • the security element 2 is printed in a two-dimensional area 6 inside. This two-dimensional area 6 shows z. Eg clouds.
  • the matrix code is composed of black and white rectangles.
  • a reader of the sorting system generates a digital image of the mailpiece.
  • This image contains an image of the stamp 1 and thus an image of the security element 2 with the coded information.
  • This coded information is evaluated to z. B. to decide. Whether the mailpiece is sufficiently franked and whether the stamp 1 is currently still valid.
  • the two-dimensional security element 2 is additionally used to locate the stamp 1 on the mailpiece and to distinguish it from other pictorial or graphical representations on the mailpiece.
  • infrared printing inks are used to print the security element 2 on the stamp 1.
  • Infrared printing inks are called printing inks, which have a certain emission behavior in the infrared spectrum.
  • infrared printer colors which are visible in the infrared spectrum and those which are not visible in the infrared spectrum.
  • the security element 2 is printed with a first substance on the stamp 1 and the surrounding two-dimensional area 6 with at least one further substance.
  • the first substance is visible in the infrared spectrum and the at least one further substance is not visible in the infrared spectrum. It is also possible that, conversely, the first substance is not visible in the infrared spectrum and the at least one further substance is visible in the infrared spectrum.
  • the substances are printed on the stamp 1.
  • Other methods can be used to put a substance on a stamp.
  • the first substance and the other substance have the same color in visible light.
  • visible light is meant electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of about 380 to 780 nanometers (nm), and thus a frequency of about 789 down to 385 THz, and therefore visible to a naked eye by a human.
  • the security element 2 printed in the two-dimensional area 6 using the first substance is not visible under visible light. In particular, it is neither recognizable with the naked eye nor with an optical magnification device. A photocopier that works with visible light, therefore, can not copy the security element.
  • infrared light light that has a longer wavelength than visible light.
  • the wavelength is smaller than that of macro waves and is between 780 nanometers and 1 mm.
  • the stamp 1 If the stamp 1 is illuminated with infrared light, it reflects this infrared light. Because the first substance in infrared illumination has a different hue than the at least one other substance, the security element 2 is visible in the reflection that causes the stamp 1 when illuminated with infrared light. If the first substance is visible in the infrared range, the security element 2 visibly lifts off from the invisible environment (the remaining area 6). If the further substance is visible in the infrared range, then the security element 2 becomes recognizable as an invisible two-dimensional structure in the visible environment.
  • the reading device of the sorting system thus briefly illuminates the mail piece with the stamp with infrared light.
  • the reflection effecting the mailpiece is recorded by an image capture device and provides a computer-available infrared image of the mailpiece.
  • This infrared image comprises an image of the postage stamp 3.
  • An evaluation unit searches in this infrared image for the security element 2. If the evaluation unit finds the security element 2 in the infrared image, then the stamp 1 is genuine and the mailpiece is processed further , Otherwise, the item of mail is rejected and, for example, examined manually.
  • an electronic library is created with those two-dimensional patterns used as security elements.
  • multiple security elements are used to z. B. different value levels of stamps to distinguish.
  • the evaluation unit has read access to this electronic library.
  • the evaluation unit is supplied with the infrared image of the mail item.
  • the evaluation unit checks whether the security element image is contained in the reflected reflection of the infrared light.
  • she performs a comparison for each pattern in the library.
  • the comparison comprises the step that the evaluation unit checks the reflection includes a pattern that resembles this pattern from the library.
  • a desired size for the security element 2 is set on the stamp 1.
  • the pattern from the library is scaled to be the same size as the target size.
  • a recognition system is trained with those two-dimensional structures that are printed on the stamps.
  • the electronic library stores those two-dimensional patterns that are used as security elements. Furthermore, additional two-dimensional patterns are stored, which are not used as security elements.
  • the evaluation unit is further given which two-dimensional structures are valid security elements and which are not.
  • the security element 2 is printed in the two-dimensional area 6 with a resolution of at least 300 dpi (dots per inch).
  • This embodiment makes photocopying difficult even in the case where the photocopier uses infrared light.
  • the stamp on two security elements.
  • the one security element 2 is only visible under infrared light as described above, but not with light in the visible range.
  • This security element 2 is printed in a two-dimensional area 6 as described above.
  • Another security element is also visible in visible light. However, it is printed as described above with a resolution of at least 300 dpi on the stamp or otherwise attached. This additional security element can not be copied with a copier that is common today. This embodiment offers further increased security.
  • Stamp 2 Security element in the form of a matrix code 6 two-dimensional area of the stamp 1 surrounding the security element
