Abstract
A method for producing a forgery-proof object (1), wherein the object is marked with a code (2) and additionally with a marking (3) spaced apart from the code, wherein the method encompasses the following steps: determining a random position (PZ) of the marking (3) relative to a code position (CP) determined by one or more position features of the code (2) on the object (1); encoding the object (1) at the determined code position (CP) marking the object (1) with the marking at the random position (PZ) storing position data (ZPD) of the random position (PZ) in a database (6);
Claims27
A method for authenticating a forgery-proof object, wherein the object is marked with a code and additionally with a marking spaced apart from the code, characterized in that the method encompasses the following steps:
- determining a random position of the marking relative to a code position predetermined on the object;
- affixing the code and affixing the marking at the random position;
- storing position data of the random position in a database;
- joint detecting of the position of the marking affixed to the object and of the code position by a detection system and providing of image data or determination of the position data by the detection system and providing of the position data so determined;
- sending of the provided image data or the determined position data to the database by the detection system;
- determining of the position data from the image data by the database and comparing of the stored position data with the determined position data by a comparator communicating with the database, or
- comparing of the stored position data with the determined position data by a comparator communicating with the database and
- sending a confirmation of the authentication back to the detection system if the stored position data matches up with the determined position data or
- sending a rejection of the authentication back to the detection system if the stored position data does not match up with the determined position data;
- displaying the result of the authentication by the detection system.
A method for producing a forgery-proof object, wherein the object is encoded with a code and additionally is marked with a marking spaced apart from the code, characterized in that the method encompasses the following steps:
- determining a random position of the marking relative to a code position determined by one or more position features of the code on the object;
- encoding the object at the determined code position
- marking the object with the marking at the random position
- storing position data of the random position in a database.
A device for marking an object, having a control unit, a marking unit and at least one input and output for receiving and sending of data, characterized in that the control unit comprises a position generator, which is configured to generate position data of a random position on the basis of code position data of a code position of a code which is determined or established on the object and which relays this to the marking unit for affixing the marking and to the output OUT.
A system for the forgery-proof marking of an object, consisting of a marking device connected to an external control unit, wherein the system comprises an input and output for receiving and sending of data and an interface between the marking device and the control unit for exchanging of data, wherein the marking device comprises a control unit for the marking, characterized in that the control unit comprises a position generator which, on the basis of code position data of a code position of a code determined or established on the object, generates position data of a random position and relays this to the output OUT and, via the interface, to the control unit of the marking device.
