Description

The invention relates to a method for producing different types of book security documents, in particular passport books.

Book-like security documents are known from the prior art. Passport books are an example of such book security documents. A large number of pages are stapled or bound into a book or booklet. As a rule, one or more pages are particularly marked, which contain data for the identification of a person to whom the passport is assigned. As a rule, special features are also formed on this page or pages, which serve to verify the authenticity of the book-like security document, for example the passport, and to authenticate the personal data specified therein.

Historically, all pages of such a pulp-based book security document, such as paper, were made. However, in order to increase the security against counterfeiting, one side in modern passports is designed as a compound side, which is often also referred to as a data card. Composite cards of this type are produced in particular on the basis of a plurality of plastic and / or additional paper layers, which are generally joined together in a lamination process. A multitude of different security features, for example layers provided with security printing, optical security features such as holograms, changeable laser images, laser engravings or also electronically verifiable security features such as radio frequency identification devices and / or microchips, are integrated into such a composite page.

As a rule, different security book forms, such as different types of passports, are issued by a country. On the one hand, passports are issued for one's own nationals. However, diplomatic passports, service passports and passports for refugees, passports for stateless persons and passports for foreigners are also issued. In order to be able to easily distinguish these different types in use, they have different cover colors, for example. However, in order to avoid counterfeiting in such a way that, for example, a data card or compound page of an ordinary passport is inserted into a book cover of a diplomatic passport, it is desirable that the data card or compound pages can also be easily distinguished. Therefore, the substrate layers on which a security print is printed, for example in the form of a guilloche pattern, are currently designed differently for the different types of passports.

The problem now arises in production that very different numbers of pieces are required for the individual types of passports. Diplomatic passports are only about one tenth of a percent of the passports issued in the Federal Republic of Germany. In production, the passports are each made in batches that have a batch size of, for example, several hundred passport documents. With such a batch size, there is no or only a very small amount of waste on printed substrate layers or provided with security elements in the production of the composite sides. If one tried to also produce the types of passport documents, which are produced in a small number of pieces per year, in batches that are pure-fit, only about five or six batches would be produced in a year. The resulting waiting times for receiving a new diplomatic passport are not acceptable in practice. Therefore, in production, for example, when using the substrate layers provided with a security print, larger cut areas occur, which make the production of such documents significantly more expensive. Furthermore, there is an increased risk that a misallocation of a compound page or data page of a type of a book security document, for example a data page of a diplomatic passport, to a cover and other passport book pages that belong to another type, for example to an ordinary passport, occurs. This places increased demands on quality control and also increases reject rates.

From the DE 38 17 463 A1 is a system for fully automatic bookbinding of unique and small series is known. This consists of an acceptance station in which the data required for binding are created and stored, a book block production station in which the notching and gluing and trimming of the book block is carried out, a sleeve station in which the cover is reinforced with a Reco sleeve a blanket production station, in which the blankets are made to fit the block based on the data provided in the receiving station, a suspension street in which the incline of the book block is adjusted and the book block is connected to the cover, and a rounding station in which the book block in the cover is pressed and rounded using the slope. The processing operations for the production of the book block and the cover as well as the merging of the book block and cover are carried out under computer control.

From the DE 601 02 372 T2 a system and a method for the automatic production of secure identity documents are known, in particular a system and a method for the automatic personalization of passports and other secure documents such as identification or ID cards as well as the printing and / or the personalization of other multi-page bound documents Documents.

From the US 5,465,213 is known a system for making, distributing and selling a rapid reproduction of a single copy of a book directly. The system is specially adapted for sales to the end user, since the production of a selected book takes place directly at the point of sale. A master module comprises a computer with a database of books that can be selected. The books are preferably stored in a digital book format. After selecting a specific book from the database, a single copy of the selected book (text and colored book cover) is printed using a fast raster printing machine. The system includes a binder for binding the text pages and the cover to a book.

The invention is therefore based on the technical object of avoiding these problems of material waste and incorrect assignment and of creating improved, material-saving and less error-prone production.

The invention is based on the basic idea of producing, as far as possible, uniformly designed composite pages with regard to most security features and to introduce easy-to-recognize distinguishing features together with personalization data into the composite page, which must be designed individually for each composite page anyway. A method is therefore created for producing different book security documents, in particular passport books, which each comprise a plurality of pages combined to form a book, one of which is designed as a compound page with at least one personalized security feature, the different types of book security documents being different distinguish at least with regard to a design of the cover, in particular a color of the cover, a standard type and several special types of book security documents existing. The method comprises the steps: separate production of personalized composite pages and other semi-finished books; Joining an already personalized composite page with one or more semi-finished books to form a book security document, the production of a composite page each comprising: receiving a personalization data record; Printing at least one substrate layer with personalizing information according to the personalization data set; Joining the at least one printed substrate layer with one or more further substrate layers to form the personalized composite page, it being provided that a status variable, which is also referred to as a flag, which indicates the type of the associated book security document, is set for each personalization data record, and the at least one substrate layer is printed with personalizing information by means of multicolor printing and, together with the personalizing information, provided that the assigned status variable indicates that the type of the associated book security document belongs to one of the special types, at least one identification print, for example in the form of printing of an identification field, colored in such a way that the color of the at least one identification print, for example the printed identification field, matches the color of the cover of the associated type of book security document nt corresponds. Since each personalization data record belongs to a book security document, a book security document type can also be assigned to the personalization data record. This type is used to define and set a status variable for each book security document to be generated. Such a status variable can have different values, at least as many as there are different types of book security documents. Nevertheless, the term "flag" is often used in technology, which, in the sense used here, can assume not only a binary value, but a multitude of different predefined values.

In addition to the personalizing data, a security document is usually assigned at least one further identifier, for example a passport number, which is unique for all book security documents of the different types. This means that the identifier, for example the passport number, can only appear once. The unique identifier is preferably formed from alphanumeric characters, but can also be represented in the form of a bar code or a 2D dot pattern.

A particular advantage is that distinguishable composite pages are produced without requiring a special processing or processing step. The personalized data is printed in color anyway, for example in order to print a full-color or colorful face image of the person on the compound page to which the personalization data belong. Different fine line security prints therefore do not have to be carried out in order to be able to distinguish between the different types of security documents.

The advantage of the proposed solution lies in the fact that, on the basis of the identification print, an assignment to the corresponding types is possible in a simple manner via the different colors used for this. If, for example, a coherent closed area, for example a rectangular area, is provided as an identification field on the composite side, then, for example, in the case of a standard passport, which is the standard type of the book security document, no printing is carried out in the identification field. For all special types, on the other hand, a single-color or a single-color homogeneous overall impression is applied in the identification field, which corresponds in terms of color impression to the color impression that the corresponding cover of the associated type of passport document has. This enables a very simple final check of the correct assignment of the composite page to the corresponding cover. Even during a later verification at checkpoints, it is easy to determine from the linked page what type of book security document it is or whether the linked page is inserted in the correct type of cover or whether there is a forgery.

Furthermore, the invention provides a device for producing different types of book security documents, in particular passport books, which each comprise a plurality of pages combined to form a book, of which a compound page is designed with at least one personalized security feature, the different types of book security documents being different Distinguish at least one color of a cover, with one standard type and several special types of book security documents, comprising: a control device for receiving a personalization data record; a printing device connected to the control device for printing at least one substrate layer with personalizing information according to the personalization data record; and a joining device for joining the at least one printed substrate layer with one or more further substrate layers to form the personalized composite side; as well as an assembly work station for assembling an already personalized composite page with one or more separate book semi-finished products produced from the personalized composite page to form the book security document, the control device being designed to set a status variable for each personalization data record which indicates the type of the associated book security document indicates, and control the printing of the at least one substrate layer with personalizing information in such a way that this takes place by means of multicolor printing and together with the personalizing information, if the status variable for the personalizing information indicates that the type of the associated book security document is one of the special types, in addition, an identification print is carried out in color, in particular an identification field is printed in such a way that the color of the identification print, in particular the printed identification field , corresponds to the color of the cover of the associated type of book security document.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that during a final quality control of the book security document, a match of the color, i.e. the color impression, the at least one identification print, for example the identification field, with the color of the cover of the book security document. This quality control is carried out at least for all special types where such a match is expected. If no colored identification print is printed for the standard type of book security document that corresponds to the color of the cover for this standard type of book security document, the final check is only carried out for the special types. These are identified on the basis of the identifier or other information in the personal data record.

The assigned status variable (flag) is then evaluated and the type of book security document involved and whether such a check is to be carried out.

A further development of the device is characterized by an optical detection device for the color detection of the cover and the composite page printed with the personalizing information, and an evaluation device connected to the optical detection device for checking whether the color of the at least for at least all special types of book security documents there is an identification print with the color of the cover of the book security document.

One advantage of the method is that the different compound sides can be identified reliably and easily. In a preferred development of the method it is therefore provided that the composite pages are produced in a mixed order for different types of book security documents. It is not necessary to create type-specific batches. Book security document requests can therefore be performed in any order, regardless of type.

In a preferred embodiment, at least some process steps in the production of the composite side are carried out in multiple uses. For example, large-area sheets can be printed with the fine-line background security print in the form of a guilloche pattern, which are subsequently printed with the personalization print at different locations for different composite pages and then separated or already separated before the personalization print. Overall, this makes it possible to accelerate the manufacturing process and to save on manufacturing costs. Setup times are also minimized and alignment and adjustment work is reduced.

In a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the semi-finished books comprise type-independent content pages and type-dependent book covers, and when putting together a set of content pages and a cover belonging to the type of the book security document are connected to the compound page.

In one embodiment, the content pages, the book cover and the compound page are connected to one another in a bookbinding process. A thread binding, a stitch binding, an adhesive binding or any other form of binding of a book or booklet known in the prior art can be used here.

In another embodiment, it is provided that the semi-finished book products comprise type-dependent book blanks with content pages and a type-dependent cover, the book blanks already being joined together and comprising a flap to which the personalized composite page is attached. The composite side is connected to the tab, for example, using a plastic welding process. The content pages and the type-dependent cover and the flap are thus ready for a book blank.

In one embodiment of the device, it is therefore provided that the assembly work station is designed as the other semi-finished book types to assemble type-dependent book blanks with content pages, a type-dependent cover and a tab, which have already been joined together, with personalized composite pages, in that the personalized composite page is attached to the tab becomes.

The content pages are particularly preferably designed to be type-independent. In one embodiment of the method, the assembly of the personalized composite pages with the other semi-finished books takes place by means of an assembly work station which combines the different types of composite pages, i.e. Compound pages of different types of book security documents are fed in mixed order. The assembly work station has different magazines for the semi-finished books of the different types of book security documents to be produced. The assembly workstation identifies the composite page blanks and determines the type of the book security document to be produced based on the assigned status variables. The corresponding other semi-finished books are fed from the various magazines according to type.

One embodiment of the device provides that the assembly work station is coupled to a feed device, so that the personalized composite pages of different types of book security documents are fed in a mixed order to an assembly work station and this has different magazines for different types of semi-finished books via which book semi-finished products are fed , which are required for the different types of book security documents to be produced, and the assembly workstation is designed to identify the compound pages and, based on the assigned status variables, to determine the type of the book security document to be produced and the corresponding other semi-finished products from the different ones Feed magazines.

In another embodiment, the composite side tube blanks are sorted according to type after production, which is mixed, and the composite work station is fed composite pages and semi-finished book products that belong to the same type of book security document.

One embodiment of the device comprises a sorting device for sorting the compound pages according to the type of the book security document to which they are assigned, in order to feed the compounding work station only compound pages and other semi-finished book products which belong to the same type of book security document.

When it is spoken within the scope of this invention that identification printing is carried out with a color, is printed with a color, or has a color etc., it is always meant that the identification printing produces a certain uniform color impression in the finished composite page. On the other hand, such an embodiment is not intended to express that the identification print must be carried out with a printing ink that produces this color impression. The color impression can thus be caused by the interaction of a large number of color pixels, which are each formed in a primary color of a color system. The color impression results from the laws of color subtraction or color addition.

• 2 ein schematischer Verfahrensablauf einer alternativen Ausführungsform eines Verfahrens zum Herstellen eines Buch-Sicherheitsdokuments.

The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to a drawing. Here show:

• 1 a schematic representation of a flowchart of a method for producing a book security document; and
• 2nd a schematic process flow of an alternative embodiment of a method for producing a book security document.

In 1 is a schematic flow diagram of a method 100 for producing book security documents, with which different types of book security documents can be produced. The production of passport books is explained by way of example, but is not intended to be limited to this. Different types of passport books (book security documents) are produced. On the one hand, these include standard passports, which represent a standard type of passport document. Special types include diplomatic passports, official passports, passports for stateless persons and passports for foreigners. These different types of passports each differ in the color of the cover. This means that each type of passport document is assigned a cover color.

A passport document in each case comprises a compound page in which personalized data are stored, further content pages and a cover which are combined together to form a book security document. The production of the composite side 110 , which is also referred to as a data card, takes place separately from the manufacture of the other semi-finished books 400 .

For the production of the composite side 110 a personalization data record is initially received or recorded 120 . Further identifiers and the like are assigned to this personalization data record 130 which, for example, gives a passport number, but also information about the type of book security document to be produced. The assignment of these identifiers and further information can already take place when the personalization data is recorded, for example by filling out a specific paper-based or electronic form which is already different in terms of the book security document.

A status variable is also assigned to the personalization data record 140 , which signals the type of book security document. Such a status variable, even if it can have more than two values, is sometimes referred to as a flag.

The physical production of the composite side 200 comprises the provision and / or production of substrate layers 210 including the formation of security features on or in the substrate layers. It is also checked here 220 whether the personalization record for a book security document belongs to one of the special types. The status variable is queried for this 230 . Colored print information is generated depending on the result of the query 240 which, at least if it is a special type, comprise printing information for an identification print in addition to the personalizing information. The identification print is in each case carried out in one color in such a way that the identification print is carried out in the color which corresponds to the cover color of the corresponding type of book security document.

When executed, the standard book security documents, i.e. the standard passports, are executed without the identification print. In this embodiment, only the special types are carried out with identification printing, for example by printing an identification field in one color with the color that corresponds to the cover color. In other embodiments, identification printing can also be carried out for the standard book security documents, the identification printing being carried out in the color which corresponds to the cover color of the respective book security document type. It is essential that the identification print is applied in the same work and printing step as the other colored personalizing information. It is essential here that the identification print must produce a color impression that matches the color impression of the cover. However, it is not necessary to use a printing preparation for this, which produces precisely this color impression. Rather, it is possible and, as a rule, advantageous if the corresponding color impression is created on the basis of a large number of printing image points which are printed in primary colors of a subtraction color system. A widely used color system is, for example, the cyan-magenta-yellow color system, which is also referred to as the CMY color system. This enables a very large variety of colors to be displayed. In addition to displaying black shades, the color black (K) is also often added. Some color systems use the colors in a lightened version in addition to the colors cyan, magenta, yellow, so that this then cyan, Light cyan, magenta, light magenta, yellow, light yellow, and preferably black.

A substrate layer is printed in color using the print information created 250 . An inkjet printing process is preferably used. Other digital printing processes such as transfer printing processes etc. can also be implemented. It is important that the personalizing information is carried out together with the identification print in one printing process.

After the individual substrate layers have been prepared, in particular a substrate layer with the personalizing information and, at least for the special types of book security document composite pages, additionally provided with the identification print, the individual substrate layers are brought together to form a substrate layer stack 260 , preferably in such a way that the printed substrate layer surface on which the personalizing information and possibly the identification print are applied is covered by another substrate layer, so that the information is finally stored on an internal level in the composite side and is thus good against manipulation and counterfeiting are protected.

Assembling 270 of the various substrate layers is preferably carried out in a lamination process. In particular, a high temperature lamination process is used for this. All substrate layers that are bonded in this way are particularly preferably produced on the basis of the same plastic material. Suitable substrates are all substrate layers known to the person skilled in the art, for example polycarbonate, PVC, ABS, polyethylene terephthalate and other plastics. However, embodiments are also possible in which individual layers consist of different plastics or even cellulose layers or the like. In addition, it is common to integrate hologram films, patches or electronic components, in particular RFID chips and antennas, into composite pages.

The other semi-finished book products are manufactured separately from the composite pages 400 . This includes making the different colored covers 410 as well as the creation of content pages 420 . In the embodiment shown here, content pages and an associated cover are combined together with a flap to form a book blank 430 . Different types of book blanks are thus produced for the different types of book security documents.

The individual composite pages produced are collected in a magazine regardless of the type 280 and fed to an assembly work station 610 , which merges the composite page with an associated book blank. For this, the respective compound card is identified 620 , for example based on read personalization data. These are preferably stored electronically in a chip. Alternatively, the printed information, which includes the personalization data and / or the identifier, can be read out. This enables the associated status variable to be determined 630 and thus the required book blank for the corresponding type on the composite side. From different magazines in which the different types of book blanks are made available 640 , the workstation selects the corresponding blank book 650 and joins it to the composite side using a plastic welding process, for example 660 . This means that the flap contained in the book blank is welded to the composite page, so that the composite page is inseparably connected to the content pages and the cover via the flap.

Finally, a check 700 executed in which it is checked whether the identification print or the color of the identification print matches the color of the cover. If no identification print is applied for the standard types of book security documents, these are correct as long as no identification print is found. For the other special types, these are only considered to be correctly produced if the color of the identification print matches the color of the cover.

The quality-checked book security documents are then finished.

In 2nd is another embodiment 100 ' of the method for producing different types of book security documents. The same features are provided with the same reference symbols and are not explained again here. The method differs in that the compound pages are sorted separately at the end of the compound page production in accordance with the associated type of book security document 290 . The composite pages are then fed to the assembly work station, sorted by type 611 which is fed the correct type of book blanks at the same time 641 . In the assembly work station, the composite page is assembled with a book blank 660 as explained above.

Another check is carried out at the end of production 700 whether a color of the color identification printing with the color of the cover matches. With the standard book security documents, these are marked as correctly produced if no colored identification print can be determined and the cover color matches the color of a standard book security document.

In still other embodiments similar to those of FIG 1 and 2nd the content pages and the various covers can also be fed to the assembly workstation separately and not yet combined into a book blank. In such an embodiment, the composite page with the content pages and the cover is bound into a book and / or stapled without an additional flap having to be welded to the composite page. In such an embodiment, a tab section can be attached during the production of the composite side.

Embodiments are also possible with the joining carried out in this way, in which the joining work station unsorts the compound pages, i.e. are mixed, fed and different bindings are fed to the workstation in different magazines and an assignment of the different bindings in the assembly workstation is carried out automatically as described above. In other embodiments, the compound pages are again sorted according to type and only the compound pages of a book security document type and likewise only book covers of the associated type are fed to the assembly workstation.

The content pages of the different book security document types can be identical or can be designed differently for the different types of book security document.

The main method steps for the production of book security documents are explained above, which enable the production of different types of book security documents in a simple manner. It is understood by the person skilled in the art that additional method steps can be added at different points in the method to form security features in order to be able to form the most varied security features. In addition, it is possible and also customary to individualize the content pages before, during or after the assembly with the composite page in such a way that a serial number or other identifier is printed on the individual content pages or is stored in the content pages via a perforation. In addition, one or more content pages can also be printed with personalized information.

It is understood by those skilled in the art that the features described here can be used in any combination to implement the invention.
