Security document carrying machine readable pattern
View Patent ↗The present invention relates generally to security documents (e.g., banknotes, ID documents, certificates, packaging, etc.). One claim recites a security document including a security pattern provided thereon. The security pattern includes a line structure in which lines width or line spacing is adjusted to convey a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain. Another claim recites a security document including a security pattern provided thereon. The security pattern is provided in the security document through modifications to a color provided on the security document. The security pattern conveys a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain. Of course, additional combinations and claims are provided as well.
1. A security document comprising:
a security pattern provided thereon and having a line structure in which line width or line spacing is adjusted to convey a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document.
2. A security document comprising:
a security pattern provided thereon and having a line structure in which line width or line spacing is adjusted to convey a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, wherein machine-readable pattern conveys a device control signal to control reproduction of the security document.
3. A security document comprising:
a security pattern provided thereon through modifications to a color provided on the security document, wherein the security pattern conveys a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, and wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document.
4. A security document comprising:
a security pattern provided thereon through modifications to a color provided on the security document, wherein the security pattern conveys a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, and wherein the predefined, machine-readable pattern conveys a device control signal to control reproduction of the security document.
5. An apparatus comprising:
electronic memory configured to store data corresponding to a security document, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern having a line structure in which line width or line spacing have been adjusted to convey a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document; and
an electronic processor programmed to: i) analyze the data corresponding to the security document in the frequency transform domain to obtain the predefined, machine-readable pattern; and ii) control an action in response to obtaining the predefined, machine-readable pattern.
6. An apparatus comprising:
electronic memory configured to store a device control signal obtained from a security document, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern having a line structure in which line width or line spacing have been adjusted to convey a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, wherein the predefined, machine-readable pattern conveys the device control signal; and
an electronic processor programmed to control reproduction of the security document in response to the device control signal.
7. An apparatus comprising:
electronic memory configured to store data corresponding to a security document, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern provided thereon through modifications to a color provided on the security document, wherein the security pattern conveys a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document; and
an electronic processor programmed to: i) analyze the data corresponding to the security document in the frequency transform domain to obtain the predefined, machine-readable pattern; and ii) control an action in response to obtaining the predefined, machine-readable pattern.
8. An apparatus comprising:
electronic memory configured to store a device control signal obtained from a security document, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern provided thereon through modifications to a color provided on the security document, wherein the security pattern conveys a predefined, machine-readable pattern in a frequency transform domain, wherein the predefined, machine-readable pattern conveys the device control signal; and
an electronic processor programmed to control reproduction of the security document in response to the device control signal.
9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
analyzing data corresponding to a security document in a frequency transform domain to obtain a predefined, machine-readable pattern, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern having a line structure in which line width or line spacing have been adjusted to convey the predefined, machine-readable pattern in the frequency transform domain, and wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document; and
controlling an action in based on the predefined, machine-readable pattern.
10. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the action comprises reproduction of the security document.
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
analyzing data corresponding to a security document in a frequency transform domain to obtain a predefined, machine-readable pattern, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern provided thereon through modifications to a color, wherein the security pattern conveys the predefined, machine-readable pattern in the frequency transform domain, and wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document; and
controlling an action in based on the predefined, machine-readable pattern.
12. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the action comprises reproduction of the security document.
13. A method comprising:
analyzing data corresponding to a security document in a frequency transform domain to obtain a predefined, machine-readable pattern, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern having a line structure in which line width or line spacing have been adjusted to convey the predefined, machine-readable pattern in the frequency transform domain, and wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document; and
controlling an action in based on the predefined, machine-readable pattern.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the action comprises reproduction of the security document.
15. A method comprising:
analyzing data corresponding to a security document in a frequency transform domain to obtain a predefined, machine-readable pattern, wherein the security document comprises a security pattern provided thereon through modifications to a color, wherein the security pattern conveys the predefined, machine-readable pattern in the frequency transform domain, and wherein the security pattern is repeated across the security document; and
controlling an action in based on the predefined, machine-readable pattern.
16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the action comprises reproduction of the security document.
