Abstract
Machine-executable instructions arranged to be executed by a processor of an authenticating apparatus, and the instructions configured to read a machine-readable security feature provided on or which is part of the optical authentication structure, and to thereby cause a display of the apparatus to show at least part of the optical authentication structure and augmented reality imagery, which augmented reality imagery at least in part allows the optical authentication structure to be authenticated.
Claims19
Machine-executable instructions arranged to be executed by a processor of an authenticating apparatus, and the instructions configured to read a machine-readable security feature provided on or which is part of the optical authentication structure, and to thereby cause a display of the apparatus to show at least part of the optical authentication structure and augmented reality imagery, which augmented reality imagery at least in part allows the optical authentication structure to be authenticated.
An optical authentication structure which is provided with a machine-readable security feature which may be originated as part of a master of the optical authentication structure or comprising a separately originated optical authentication structure element included in the main optical authentication structure in a secondary process, which feature is arranged to be read by a camera of an authenticating apparatus so as to enable the authenticating apparatus to generate an augmented reality image on its display to at least in part enable authentication of the optical authentication structure to a user.
A method of authenticating an optical authentication structure comprising the steps of:
- capturing information from the machine-readable feature of an optical authentication structure, and thereby causing an augmented reality imagery to be generated, which imagery at least in part allows for the optical authentication structure to be authenticated.
