Description

Method for Verifying the Authenticity of Objects
Technical Field
The invention pertains to the method of verifying the authenticity of objects, mainly notes and cheques, using a mobile phone equipped for multi-media messages.
Current Status of Technology
Most mobile telephones currently widely available are equipped with a semi-conductor image scanning device that makes it possible to show an image on the telephone's display of whatever the telephone's lens is trained on. Such image can then either be saved to the telephone's memory or sent as an MMS message .
Semi-conductor image scanning devices employed in mobile phones are, because of their physical nature, able to scan the visible and near infrared area of electromagnetic radiation, and transfer it into an electric signal that can subsequently be interpreted as a visible image by means of the display.
The near infrared component of the electromagnetic radiation ultimately creates a visible image on the display, an image similar to that created by the visible component of infrared r,adiation. In mobile telephones, the near infrared component of electromagnetic radiation is suppressed by an optic filter, so that the image visible on the display would not be distorted by the image created by the near infrared component .
At the present time, mobile phones are rarely used for verification of authenticity of objects. The current status of services provided by mobile network operators does not allow fast and efficient use of current technical knowledge for operative verification of authenticity of e.g. bank notes, documents o vouchers for people ,,in the street".
But it is exactly speed and reliability of bank note authenticity verification that is of the same importance for the recipient as verification of authenticity of a cheque and bank notes for a treasurer, who is to pay some sum in cash.
The appropriately equipped mobile phones have the possibility of connection to the Internet and approach to a wide range of information that can be used for verification of authenticity of anything, but such information is not organised in such a way so as it can serve for prompt use with clear results.
Substance of Invention
The purpose of the invention is to find a simple way of verifying the authenticity of objects, in particular bank notes and cheques. The objective of the invention is the verification of the authenticity of objects, in particular bank notes and cheques, using a mobile phone fitted with a device for the reception of multimedia messages.
The drawbacks of the current methods for the verification of the authenticity of objects using a mobile phone, i.e. a time-consuming process with inconclusive results, are rectified by this method for the verification of the authenticity of objects, in particular bank notes and cheques, using a mobile phone fitted with a device for the reception of multimedia messages based on this invention. The substance of the invention is that the scanned image of the object being verified, made in the electromagnetic radiation field outside the visible field using a mobile phone, is compared to the scanned image of a standard rendering of the object in question, made in the same electromagnetic radiation field and kept on file by the operator.
The advantage is that the operator may keep several images on file for each standard rendering of the object, e.g. on different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation or multiple images of the details of the standard rendering of the object.
When forgeries occur featuring the same marker, the operator may easily keep pictures of such markers on file so as to warn mobile network users of the existence of such forgeries .
There is an advantage in making pictures of the object being verified in the near infrared radiation field, i.e. in the range from approximately 700 nm to 1300 nm of wavelength, as those are the most frequently used markers . For the sake of ease it is advantageous for the operator to send a picture of the standard rendering of the object made in the electromagnetic radiation field outside the visible field to the user.
For the sake of greater reliability it is advantageous for the operator to also send to the user, together with the picture of the standard rendering of the object made in the electromagnetic radiation field outside the visible field, a picture made in the visible field of electromagnetic radiation.
The method is simple to implement using a mobile phone fitted with a filter that lets through infrared radiation.
The mobile phone acquires a completely new utility feature, employing its semi-conductor image scanning device in conjunction with a control element enabling the user to, in particular, place a filter in front of the semi-conductor image scanning device, which lets the near infrared radiation through and blocks the visible radiation, i.e. a filter with an edge with spectral characteristics of transmittance in the range from 700 nm to 1 200 nm, thus creating an image on the display of the mobile phone with semi-conductor image scanning device corresponding to the near infrared component of the electromagnetic radiation emitted from the object under observation towards the mobile telephone fitted with the semi-conductor image scanning device.
On the basis of this invention, taking advantage of the use of a mobile telephone fitted with the typical semiconductor image scanning device currently used in common designs of mobile telephones, the control device would not only place a filter in front of the semi-conductor image scanning device letting the near infrared radiation through and blocking the visible radiation, but would also remove the optic filter suppressing the near infrared component of electromagnetic radiation.
There is also an advantage in the control element to simultaneously connect an auxiliary source of near infrared radiation (preferably performed through at least one semiconductor diode, emitting such radiation) irradiating the object under observation. The auxiliary source of near infrared radiation may be advantageously performed through several semi-conductor diodes with various wavelengths of emitted radiation that may be gradually connected manually or through a programmable sequence. Then the display shows the changes in the object image in case of irradiation with near infrared radiation of changing wavelengths.
There is also an advantage in using only push buttons as in hitherto known solutions during manufacture of a mobile phone with semi-conductor image scanning element according to this invention, while the control element is performed in a non-material way, i.e. by suitable sequence of push buttons set out .
In compliance with one aspect of the substance of this invention, there was developed a mobile telephone with semiconductor image scanning device, equipped with a control element for controlling the filter which lets the infrared radiation through and is placed in front of the semiconductor image scanning device.
It is advantageous for the control element to be set up for simultaneous switch on of the auxiliary source of near infrared radiation. On the basis of this invention, the mobile telephone is equipped with a semi-conductor switching element for limiting the dose of near infrared radiation from the auxiliary source of the near infrared radiation for the value that is necessary form the energetic and time point of view for obtaining the infrared image, mainly connected with the function of saving the scanned image in the telephone memory.
The auxiliary source of near infrared radiation is advantageously performed by at least one semi-conductor diode emitting infrared radiation that can be easily adjusted in a mobile telephone.
It is advantageous for the control element to be set up for simultaneous switch off of the filter that restrains in a mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning device the near infrared element of electromagnetic radiation during work in visible field of radiation.
The auxiliary source of near infrared radiation advantageously contains at least one another semi-conductor diode, emitting the infrared radiation with different wavelength.
The control element is advantageously performed in virtual form by a sequence of set ups of controllers designed for controlling other functions o the mobile telephone.
In compliance with another aspect of the substance of this invention, there has also been developed a mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element equipped with another semi-conductor image scanning element, sensitised to required field of near infrared electromagnetic radiation.
Another semi-conductor image scanning element is advantageously integrated to the substrate of semi-conductor image scanning element .
That means that the mobile telephone may be equipped with another image scanning element sensitive to infrared radiation that may be advantageously integrated to the substrate of semi-conductor image scanning element.
The mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element according to this invention is equipped with a control element use by the service staff to induce on the display of the mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning devices such an image that corresponds with the close infrared element of electromagnetic radiation, directed from the object under observation to the mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning device.
The control element puts in front of the semi-conductor scanning device a filter that suppresses visible electromagnetic radiation.
Simultaneously, the control element excludes the filter that suppresses the near infrared element of electromagnetic radiation in visible field of radiation in the mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element.
The control element simultaneously switches on the auxiliary source of near infrared radiation, advantageously performed with at least one semi-conductor diode, emitting infrared radiation.
The auxiliary source of infrared radiation contains at least one another semi-conductor diode, emitting infrared radiation with different wavelength.
The control elements transfers to the input of the display of the mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element another semi-conductor image scanning element, sensitised to required field of near infrared electromagnetic radiation that is advantageously integrated to the substrate of the semi-conductor image scanning device.
The control element is advantageously performed in virtual form by a sequence of set ups of controllers, used for controlling other functions of the mobile phone.
The mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element and with infrared displaying according to this invention is characterised by the following main features:
filter placed in front of the semi-conductor image scanning device that may advantageously replace (for the time of infrared image scanning) the filter that is currently used in mobile telephones, so as it suppresses infrared radiation in case of standard images,
infrared semi-conductor diode that provides supplementary lighting for the infrared light-controlled object, for example a bank note.
The above specified features may be connected with the function of scanned image saving in the telephone memory in such a way, that they are used only for the time needed for the scanned image saving in the telephone memory.
The advantage of such connection means that - even in case of using very cheap and weak infra diode - it is possible to reach high quality infra red image based on pulse operation.
Samples of Invention Performance
For operation between the operator and the mobile telephone user it is necessary to have a mobile telephone equipped with a filter that passes through the infrared radiation - it is lay out in the mobile telephone objective in this sample version. The user makes an image of the verified object in the field of near infrared radiation. On the basis of user's question sent to the operator in the form of a SMS or MMS message, the operator send a MMS message to the user, containing an image of standard version of the given object in the field of near infrared radiation. Now, the user compares both of the images in his mobile telephone and if the images are identical it is clear that it is the authentic object with high probability. For better orientation it is advantageous to send to the operator's device for verification even the image of standard version in the field of visible part of spectrum and so as there are possibly communicated even other features within the MMS message so as to further increase the certainty of the object authenticity verification.
There is also possible the reverse procedure for the user to send in the MMS message form an image of the object made in the field of electromagnetic radiation out of the visible area with an advantage in the near infrared field. The comparison is performed using the operator's device. From the point of view of current technical status, this procedure seems to be more complicated.
For example the filter letting through the infrared radiation of the mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element may be in the form of a shut made of material letting pass through the near infrared component of the electromagnetic radiation but it does not let through the visible component of electromagnetic radiation. The shut prevents passage of visible radiation to the mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element. Then, the mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element shows the image induced only by the residual component of near infrared radiation, i.e. the component let through by the filter, used in the mobile telephone for suppression of undesirable influence of near infrared component when displaying objects in visible component of electromagnetic radiation.
The filter letting through the infrared radiation can be performed for example in the form of a slide valve placed on the way of radiation to the semi-conductor scanning element, where the slide valve is replaced with a filter suppressing the near infrared component of electromagnetic radiation and letting through the visible component of the electromagnetic radiation for a filter, suppressing the visible component of electromagnetic radiation and letting through the near infrared component of electromagnetic radiation.
In the next sample version, the filter letting through the infrared radiation fulfils the same function as in case of previous sample versions plus there is switched on the auxiliary source of near infrared radiation, advantageously performed with at least one semi-conductor diode emitting the infrared radiation. The auxiliary source of near infrared radiation in this sample version may consist of several semiconductor diodes with various wavelengths of emitted radiation. On the basis of manual or program-controlled switching of the diodes it is possible to gradually obtain an image in two or more wavelengths of near infrared radiation on the telephone display.
The last sample version includes a mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element equipped with another semi-conductor image scanning element, sensitised to selected near infrared field of electromagnetic radiation that is advantageously integrated to the substrate of semi-conductor image scanning element and the control element then switches the input of the mobile telephone display to one of the outputs of the two semi-conductor image scanning elements
Industrial Applicability
The invention can be used for fast and reliable verification of all the objects with their scan made out of the field of visible electromagnetic radiation to differ from a scan made in the visible field of electromagnetic radiation.
The mobile telephone with semi-conductor image scanning element according to this invention can be used mainly for fast and reliable verification of authenticity of protected products, mainly valuables, papers and documents. It is important mainly thanks to the possibility of mass use in fight against money forgers, as it allows each and every owner of such mobile phone to immediately identify any bank note forgery.
The extraordinary importance of this invention is highlighted mainly by the fact that at the present time all the important currencies in the world are emitted with protective signs having really significant markers in near infrared area and no forgers succeeded to perform these markers without any mistakes, even though their imaging in near infrared area of electromagnetic radiation is a publicly available information (for example in the file of means of payment of the Czech National Bank) .
