METHOD FOR VERIFICATION OF DOCUMENTS AND CURRENCY AND A

DEVICE THEREOF

FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to method for verification of authenticity of currency and the documents through electronic devices, telecommunication and web technology and a device thereof. More particularly the present invention relates to devices and methods for interactively communicating among the currency provider (government), various banks, currency blocking machines and the currency verifiers for the authentic verification of currency and documents providers and document verifiers for the authentic verification of various types of documents.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002] First of all we have to understand why we need to verify the currency. Now a day the fake / duplicity of currency are in high volume. Every month you can hear in the news for the fake currency, and the series of currencies are declared as fake currency, even the stamp paper / postal stamp to stamp paper are found fake as well as the bank cheque, demand draft, pay order and stationary found fake. The Counterfeit currency and documents look like original currency and document and no one can differentiate them. The fake documents, stamp paper, stamp tickets and fake currency available in the market, and these fake certificates, documents, stamp papers, stamp tickets, currency is looking like the original. People make these counterfeit documents, stamp papers, stamp tickets and currency very smartly, since they use advance technologies to make them. New and advance technologies are easily available in today's market.

[0003] The companies that make counterfeit documents make benefits in bulk by spending a very small investment. Because of this fake, revenue is not generated, it is a duty of government to stop counterfeits and create awareness among public about counterfeit documents and currency and fake document and currency providing companies. [0004] As per the present invention there will be various types of electronic machines connected to each other for the verification of documents and currency as well as blocking of currency and demand draft, cheque, demand draft and bank stationary. The machine will read the codes printed in various formats on various documents and 5 currency as per the worth of the document and currency as well as the importance of the document and currency. The codes printed on the documents and currency will be different -different formats like single or multiple and hidden and open or both also and will be identifiable by the machine itself.

[0005] As per the present invention the device will provide the facility of verification

L0 through unique code by using telecommunication through SMS, IVRS, USSD, Missed

Call and by place a call, dialing the verification code. Here the verification code it self is a telephone number which can be dialed for the verification. In this method of verification the verifier will send the unique code to service provider engine. The service provider engine will verify that code and give the response as per the record

L5 available in the database server. While verifying the code through SMS the verifier will send the single or multiple unique code to the service provider through the SMS/MMS, the engine at service provide will receive the code and verify the code number if verification code is correct then the engine at service provider will send the proper details else the engine will send the invalid code message like "Wrong Code"

!0 to the verifier. In the another method of verification the verifier will place a call to the service provider the call will land on IVRS device and the device will ask for the verification code one by one if multiple and the device will send these codes to verification engine to verify the codes after verification the verification engine will send the response to the engine. On the basis of response from the verification

15 engine the device will play the audio message to the verifier. The device may provide the facility of call back, in the call back facility when the verifier dial the number for verification the call will land on IVRS and IVRS will capture the CLI and disconnect the call, and a request for call will be generated at the same moment. After generating the call back request the dialer will dial the call captured number and call

<0 will be placed over the network. When the verifier will receive the call the device will play a welcome message after that or directly ask for the verification code through DTMF input, after providing the one or multiple verification code the device will verify that code(s) through verification engine and play the respective audio message to the verifier.

[0006] As per embodiment of the present invention the device will provide the facility of dialing the verification code. The call request will be generated and place over the network, and the call will reach to the platform running at service provider end.
