Document Authenticity Verification via Augmented Reality Overlay
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for verifying the authenticity of documents are limited by the amount of information they can provide, making the verification process complicated due to the reliance on single images or insufficient data.
Innovation Solution
The use of augmented reality to display additional information, such as personal data or security features, alongside the captured image of a document, retrieved from a data server via a communication network, enhances the authenticity verification process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If additional information is displayed alongside the captured image using augmented reality, then the verification comprehensiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The document reading device integrates multiple functions including image capture, augmented reality display, data server communication, and verification processing into a single universal device. This allows the device to provide comprehensive verification information while managing system complexity through functional integration rather than separate dedicated components for each function.
2Loss of information
If multiple pieces of additional information are retrieved from a data server, then the information completeness is improved, but the loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-retrieving and storing verification information on the data server before the actual verification process. When verification is needed, the device simply retrieves pre-prepared information rather than generating or searching for it in real-time, significantly reducing verification time while maintaining information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where the document reading device communicates with the data server to retrieve additional information dynamically. The feedback loop allows the system to request only the specific verification information needed for each document, optimizing the balance between information completeness and retrieval time through selective data fetching.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for checking the authenticity of a document using at least some additional information. The document comprises an information feature which indicates the additional information. Said method comprises the following steps: an image of the document is captured (401); the information feature in the captured image is captured (403); the additional information based on the captured information feature is determined (405); and the captured image together with the additional information is displayed (407) , in order to check the authenticity of the document.
