IMPLANTAT-KARTE IMPLANT CARD
Beschreibungdescription
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Karte nach dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Anspruches.The present invention relates to a card according to the preamble of the independent claim.
Datenkarten und dergleichen, in welchen Hologramme als Echtheitsmerkmal vorgesehen sind, sind bekannt. Bei derartigen Datenkarten werden für eine große Anzahl unterschiedlicher Karten dieselben Hologramme verwendet. Dies ist aus einer Reihe von Gründen nicht wünschenswert.Data cards and the like, in which holograms are provided as authenticity features, are known. With such data cards, the same holograms are used for a large number of different cards. This is not desirable for a number of reasons.
Die bekannten Datenkarten und dergleichen sind im Regelfall aus Polyethylen oder anderen, miteinander durch Laminieren verbundenen Kunststoffschichten hergestellt. Diese Art der Herstellung ist erforderlich, um ein einerseits gut bedruck- bares und andererseits noch preiswertes Material bereitzustellen. In solche laminierten Karten wird im Stand der Technik bereits ein echtheitsverifizierendes Hologramm eingearbeitet. Diese verifizierenden Hologramme sind typisch zumindest daumennagelgroß und müssen lediglich visuell erfaßt wer- den.The known data cards and the like are generally made of polyethylene or other plastic layers connected to one another by lamination. This type of production is necessary in order to provide a material that is well printable on the one hand and still inexpensive on the other. In the prior art, a authenticity-verifying hologram is already incorporated into such laminated cards. These verifying holograms are typically at least the size of a thumbnail and only have to be detected visually.
Es ist nun wünschenswert, neben derartigen bekannten verifizierenden Hologrammen auch individualisierte Hologramme verwenden zu können. Mit diesen sollen Individualdaten, gegebe- nenfalls ergänzend zu verifizierenden Allgemeindaten, vorgesehen werden. Eine Möglichkeit, dies zu erreichen, besteht darin, ein computergeneriertes Hologramm in den Kunststoff mittels einer Laserlichtquelle und/oder einzuschreiben. Dieses individualisierte Hologramm kann neben oder ergänzend zu einem vorgefertigten Hologramm herkömmlicher Art vorgesehen werden.It is now desirable to be able to use individualized holograms in addition to such known verifying holograms. These are intended to be used to provide individual data, which may also be supplementary general data. One way to do this is to put a computer generated hologram in the plastic using a laser light source and / or enroll. This individualized hologram can be provided in addition to or in addition to a prefabricated hologram of a conventional type.
Problematisch ist nun, daß beim Auslesen individualisierter Hologramme, die typisch Daten codieren, eine wesentlich höhere Präzision und Auflösung erforderlich ist als bei herkömmlichen, rein visuell mit geringer Auflösung zu erfassender Hologramme. Dies gilt insbesondere angesichts der derzeit gegebenen Beschränkung, die sich aus dem Umstand ergibt, daß individualisierte Hologramme herkömmlich computergeneriert und mit hologrammschreibenden Lithographen in den Kunststoff eingebrannt werden; die verfügbare Schreibgeschwindigkeit der Lithographen setzt dabei der bezahlbaren Größe der individualisierten Hologramme Grenzen, so daß diese typisch kleiner ausfallen als die bekannten Verifizierungshologramme.The problem now is that when reading out individualized holograms that typically encode data, a much higher precision and resolution is required than with conventional holograms that can be detected purely visually with low resolution. This applies in particular in view of the current limitation, which results from the fact that individualized holograms are conventionally computer-generated and burned into the plastic with hologram-writing lithographs; the available writing speed of the lithographers limits the affordable size of the individualized holograms, so that they are typically smaller than the known verification holograms.
Die dadurch erforderliche hohe Auflösung verbietet es nun, Hologramme guter Qualität einfach in mittlere Kunststoffschichten preiswerter Karten und/oder andere Weise einzuschreiben, selbst wenn diese, etwa durch Druckfarben, mit einem Absorber beschichtet sind, der das Einbrennen erleichtert. Ausschlaggebend hierfür ist die .geringe optische Quali- tat der für herkömmliche Karten bewährten Kunststoffmaterialien; ein Abweichen von diesen Materialien ist, insbesondere aus Kostengründen, unerwünscht. Ein Einbrennen der Hologramme in die oberste Kunststoffschient kommt im Regelfall ebenfalls nicht in Frage, da die Kunststoffschicht zu unregelmäßig ist. Weiter sollte die Information vor Kratzern oder Verschmutzungen geschützt sein. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Karte der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, bei welcher ein sicher lesbarer Kunststoffbereich zum Tragen eines individualisierten, insbesondere computergenerierten Hologrammes vorgesehen werden kann.The high resolution required as a result now prohibits simply writing good quality holograms into middle plastic layers of inexpensive cards and / or in any other way, even if they are coated, for example by printing inks, with an absorber which makes it easier to burn in. The decisive factor here is the low optical quality of the plastic materials that have been tried and tested for conventional cards; deviating from these materials is undesirable, particularly for reasons of cost. Burning the holograms into the uppermost plastic rail is also generally out of the question, since the plastic layer is too irregular. The information should also be protected from scratches or dirt. The aim of the present invention is to provide a card of the type mentioned at the beginning, in which a securely readable plastic area can be provided for carrying an individualized, in particular computer-generated, hologram.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung wird mit einer Karte nach dem unabhängigen Anspruch 1 erreicht. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen finden sich in den Unteransprüchen.The object of the present invention is achieved with a card according to independent claim 1. Preferred embodiments can be found in the subclaims.
Es wird damit eine Karte mit einer Vielzahl von Kunststoffschichten und einem Kunststoffbereich zum Tragen eines individualisierten Hologrammes vorgeschlagen, bei welcher in den Kunststoffschichten eine Ausnehmung und in dieser der Kunst- Stoffbereich zum Tragen des individualisierten Hologrammes als Einsatz vorgesehen ist.A card with a plurality of plastic layers and a plastic area for carrying an individualized hologram is thus proposed, in which a recess is provided in the plastic layers and in this the plastic area for carrying the individualized hologram is provided as an insert.
Grundlegend ist somit die Erkenntnis, dass eine besonders stabile und dennoch preiswerte Karte aus einer Vielzahl von Kunststoffschichten mit individualisierten Hologrammen, also beispielsweise Datenhologrammen, bildkodierenden Hologrammen und dergleichen erhalten werden kann, indem separate Kunst- stoffbereiche für das individualisierte Hologramm verwendet werden. Dies ermöglicht die Erhöhung dex Qualität eines indi- vidualierten Hologrammes unbeeinträchtigt von niedriger Ausgangsqualität ursprünglichen Kunststoffmaterials der Karte. Durch die höhere Qualität des individualisierten Hologrammes, insbesondere die höheren erzielbaren Kontraste, kann das Gesamthologramm für dieselbe Kennbarkeit und/oder Datenmenge kleiner ausfallen, was die Gesamtkosten verringert. Die Vielzahl von Kunststoffschichten können, wie bei Datenkarten üblich, durch Laminieren verbunden werden. Dies ist besonders bevorzugt, da somit herkömmliche Herstellungsverfahren verwendet werden können.The basic finding is therefore that a particularly stable and yet inexpensive card can be obtained from a multiplicity of plastic layers with individualized holograms, for example data holograms, image-coding holograms and the like, by using separate plastic areas for the individualized hologram. This makes it possible to increase the quality of an individualized hologram unaffected by the low initial quality of the original plastic material of the card. Due to the higher quality of the individualized hologram, in particular the higher achievable contrasts, the overall hologram can be smaller for the same identifiability and / or amount of data, which reduces the overall costs. The large number of plastic layers can, as is usual with data cards, be connected by lamination. This is particularly preferred since conventional manufacturing processes can thus be used.
Es ist wie bei herkömmlichen Karten möglich, Legierungsmaterial aus PE (Polyethylen) zu verwenden; hier wurde gefunden, dass eine gute Haltbarkeit gegeben ist und auch bei thermischem Zyklieren (Simulation der Aufbewahrung in einem sommer- lieh geparkten PKW und so weiter) keine signifikante Beeinträchtigung und/oder Trennung der erfindungsgemäßen Karte und ihrer Einzelteile beobachtet wird. Die Innenschicht kann - wie bekannt - bedruckt sein. In einer ersten Variante ist die Ausnehmung durchgehend durch alle Kunststoffschichten. Dies kann erwünscht sein, wenn das Hologramm in Durchsicht bzw. Durchleuchtung erfasst werden soll.As with conventional cards, it is possible to use alloy material made of PE (polyethylene); it was found here that there is good durability and that no significant impairment and / or separation of the card according to the invention and its individual parts is observed even in the case of thermal cycling (simulation of storage in a summer parked car and so on). As is known, the inner layer can be printed. In a first variant, the recess is continuous through all plastic layers. This can be desirable if the hologram is to be captured by looking through or fluoroscopy.
Alternativ kann die Ausnehmung als Eintiefung gebildet sein, wobei zumindest die unterste Schicht der Karte nicht voll- ständig entfernt ist, sondern ein - zumindest restlicher - Kunststoffboden verbleibt.Alternatively, the recess can be formed as a recess, with at least the bottom layer of the card not being completely removed, but an - at least remaining - plastic base remaining.
Für den Hologramm-tragenden Kunststoff kann PMMA, insbesondere vorgestrecktes PMMA, oder andere in-.-den parallelen Anmel- düngen der Anmelder genannten Materialien verwendet werden. Es ist prinzipiell die Verwendung von Kunststoffmaterialien hinreichender optischer Qualität möglich.PMMA, in particular pre-stretched PMMA, or other materials mentioned in the applicant's parallel applications can be used for the hologram-bearing plastic. In principle, the use of plastic materials of sufficient optical quality is possible.
Das Hologramm kann, ungeachtet seiner Individualisierung, durch Heißprägen vorgefertigt sein. Dies erlaubt eine Individualisierung etwa auf Kleinserien. In alternativer Weise und aufgrund der Erhöhung der erforderlichen Fertigungsfertigkeit besonders bevorzugter Weise kann das Hologramm einzeln in einem Kunststoff wie PMMA eingeschrieben werden, wobei das Einschreiben beispielsweise durch einen einzelnen fokusierten Laserstrahl erfolgen kann, der - wie erforderlich - zur Er- zeugung eines computergewählten Hologrammes von einer entsprechenden Ansteuerung mit Energie beaufschlagt und bewegt wird.The hologram, regardless of its individualization, can be prefabricated by hot stamping. This allows individualization, for example on small series. Alternatively, and due to the increase in manufacturing skill required In a particularly preferred manner, the hologram can be inscribed individually in a plastic such as PMMA, the inscription being able to be carried out, for example, by means of a single focused laser beam which, as required, is energized and moved by a corresponding control in order to generate a computer-selected hologram.
Der hologrammtragende Einsatz zum Einsetzen in die Ausnehmung kann mehrlagig aufgebaut sein. Es können insbesondere mehrere hologrammtragende Kunststoffschichten übereinander vorgesehen sein, die durch geeignete Materialien miteinander verbunden sind. Hierzu wird wiederum auf die parallel anhängigen Anmeldungen der BDF und des EML verwiesen. Diese anhängigen Anmel- düngen der vorliegenden Anmelder werden in Bezugnahme voll empfänglich eingegliedert.The hologram-bearing insert for insertion into the recess can be constructed in several layers. In particular, several hologram-carrying plastic layers can be provided one above the other, which are connected to one another by suitable materials. In this regard, reference is again made to the pending registrations of the BDF and the EML. These pending applications of the present applicants are incorporated by reference in a fully receptive manner.
Die Hologrammfläche ist bevorzugt durch eine Versiegelungsschicht abgedeckt, die das Hologramm mechanisch schützt. An- sonsten ist es bevorzugt, wenn die Schicht nach oben offen liegt .The hologram surface is preferably covered by a sealing layer that mechanically protects the hologram. Otherwise, it is preferred if the layer is open at the top.
Die Erfindung wird im Folgenden nur beispielsweise anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben.The invention is described below only by way of example with reference to the drawing.
In dieser zeigtIn this shows
Figur 1 eine Karte mit einer Vielzahl von Kunststoffschichten gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung.1 shows a card with a plurality of plastic layers according to the present invention.
Nach Figur 1 umfasst eine allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Kunststoffkarte 1 eine Vielzahl von Kunststoffschichten 2a, 2b, 2c, die eine Ausnehmung 3 aufweisen, in welcher ein Einsatz 4 vorgesehen ist, welcher mit einer Versiegelungsschicht 5 abgedeckt ist.According to FIG. 1, a plastic card 1, generally designated 1, comprises a plurality of plastic layers 2a, 2b, 2c, which have a recess 3, in which an insert 4 is provided, which is covered with a sealing layer 5.
Die Schichten 2a, 2b, 2c bestehen aus PE (Polyethylen) . Die Schicht 2a ist auf der zur Schicht 2b weisenden Grenzschicht bedruckt, wie durch Bezugszahl 2a angedeutet. Die Karten sind durch Heißlaminieren fest und unlösbar miteinander verbunden. In einer der Schichten kann ein Magnetstreifen oder ein anderer Datenträger vorgesehen sein (nicht gezeigt) . Weiter kann - wie erforderlich und/oder gewünscht - ein integrierter Schaltkreis gegebenenfalls mit Oberflächenkontakten in bekannter Weise vorgesehen sein (gleichfalls nicht gezeigt) . Die Ausnehmung 3 weist in ihrem oberflächenseitigen Bereich 3a einen größeren Durchmesser als in ihrem inneren Bereich 3b auf. In den mittleren Bereich 3b ist der aus PMMA hergestellte Einsatz eingesetzt, der wiederum aus einer Vielzahl einzelner PMMA-Lagen, die miteinander durch eine Absorberschicht, einen Lack und/oder dergleichen, unlösbar vonein- ander verbunden sind.The layers 2a, 2b, 2c consist of PE (polyethylene). Layer 2a is printed on the boundary layer facing layer 2b, as indicated by reference number 2a. The cards are firmly and permanently connected by hot lamination. A magnetic stripe or another data carrier (not shown) can be provided in one of the layers. Furthermore, as required and / or desired, an integrated circuit can optionally be provided with surface contacts in a known manner (likewise not shown). The recess 3 has a larger diameter in its surface area 3a than in its inner area 3b. The insert made of PMMA is inserted into the middle region 3b, which in turn consists of a large number of individual PMMA layers which are inseparably connected to one another by an absorber layer, a lacquer and / or the like.
Der Einsatz 4 ist über eine Klebeschicht 6 mit der untersten Schicht 2a verbunden. Der Bereich der Ausnehmung 3a mit größerem Durchmesser ist mit optisch für die zum Hologramm- schreiben und/oder -lesen verwendeten Wellenlänge ohne Streuung und dergleichen hochtransparent. Eine geeignete Versiegelung 5 wird durch PMMA realisiert, die mit den einzelnen Schichten des Einsatzes 4 unlösbar verbunden ist und die zugleich über dem Verbindungsbereich liegt, welcher vom Bereich des eigentlichen Hologramms entfernt ist, und mit diesem und dem PE verbunden ist. Eine solche untrennbare Verbindung kann durch Erwärmen erzeugt werden. Die Datenkarte wird hergestellt und verwendet wie folgt:The insert 4 is connected to the lowermost layer 2a via an adhesive layer 6. The region of the recess 3a with a larger diameter is highly transparent for the wavelength used for hologram writing and / or reading without scattering and the like. A suitable seal 5 is implemented by PMMA, which is inseparably connected to the individual layers of the insert 4 and which at the same time lies above the connection area, which is distant from the area of the actual hologram, and is connected to this and the PE. Such an inseparable connection can be created by heating. The data card is manufactured and used as follows:
Zunächst wird ein PE-Ausgangsmaterial in geeigneter Weise be- druckt und Ausnehmungen gewünschter Größe werden in die mittleren und oberen Lagen gestanzt. Dann werden die einzelnen Lagen übereinander gelegt. Der Einsatz 4 wird vorgefertigt und in nicht mit einem Hologramm beschriebener Form in die Ausnehmung 3 so eingesetzt, dass die Klebeschicht 6 nach un- ten weist. Dann wird die Abdeckschicht 5 aufgebracht. Die gesamte Anordnung wird in einem einzigen Arbeitsgang miteinander durch Heißlaminieren verbunden.First, a PE starting material is printed in a suitable manner and recesses of the desired size are punched into the middle and upper layers. Then the individual layers are placed one on top of the other. The insert 4 is prefabricated and inserted into the recess 3 in a form not described with a hologram so that the adhesive layer 6 points downward. Then the cover layer 5 is applied. The entire assembly is joined together in a single operation by hot lamination.
Nunmehr ist der Rohdatenträger fertig, und es kann ein indi- vidualisiertes Programm mittels eines geeigneten Lithographen durch das versiegelnde Lese-/Schreibfenster 5 in das PMMA eingebrannt werden. Danach liegt eine Kunststoffkarte mit individualisiertem Hologramm vor, die durch das Hologramm und die feste Verbindung zu ihrer umgebenden Karte eine gute Ge- währleistung gegen illegitime Reproduktion erlauben. Die Karte ist verwendbar insbesondere als Zugangsauthorisationskarte und/oder bei mit monetären Transaktionen befassten Instituten.The raw data carrier is now ready, and an individualized program can be burned into the PMMA through the sealing read / write window 5 using a suitable lithograph. Then there is a plastic card with an individualized hologram, which, through the hologram and the fixed connection to its surrounding card, allows a good guarantee against illegitimate reproduction. The card can be used in particular as an access authorization card and / or for institutions dealing with monetary transactions.
Während vorstehend von Datenkarten die Rede war, ist es nicht erforderlich, daß diese, wie Scheckkarten, starr sind. Vielmehr ist es möglich, die Datenkarten flexibel oder teilflexibel zu gestalten. Eine selbstklebende Rückseite zur Realisierung eines Labels kann vorgesehen werden. So können zum Bei- spiel Paketkarten realisiert werden. Die Ausnehmung kann statt gestanzt auch gefräst werden. While data cards have been discussed above, they are not required to be rigid, like check cards. Rather, it is possible to make the data cards flexible or partially flexible. A self-adhesive back for the realization of a label can be provided. For example, parcel cards can be implemented. The recess can also be milled instead of punched.
