Abstract

According to the invention, a security document (110, 202) of an undetermined size within a range of sizes is processed by capturing images corresponding to at least one surface thereof with use of document reading apparatus (112) having a controller (532) and at least one imaging assembly (516, 517, 519). In one method of the invention, controller (532) searches through the captured image data to locate an identification code symbol which may have been formed on a surface of the document. If a symbol (208) is found that satisfies a predetermined criteria for being an identification code symbol, then the symbol (208) is decoded, and the identification code for the document is utilized to control further processing of the document. Further processing subroutines of the document (110, 202) may include subroutines for verifying that the document is authentic, subroutines for validating the document, and subroutines for voiding the document.

Claims

118
AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 29 November 1999 (29.1 1.99); new claims 79-99 added; remaining claims unchanged (8 pages)]
79. A system for processing a lottery game ticket of the type comprising a topside and bottomside surface, at least one identification code symbol formed on one of said surfaces, at least one play area defined on one of said surfaces, and scratch-off material formed on said play area, said system including an apparatus adapted to receive said lottery game ticket, said system comprising: a ticket adapted for use in said system, wherein said at least one play area of said ticket includes an outer surface and an indicia icon surface exposed when said scratch-off material is removed, and wherein said ticket is adapted so that said outer surface and said indicia icon surface reflect light according to predetermined reflectance characteristics when illuminated at a predetermined band of wavelengths; a controller in communication with a memory space, operating under the control of a main program stored in said memory space; and an imaging subsystem including at least one imaging assembly having an illumination source selected to emit light at about said predetermined wavelength band configured in said apparatus to generate image signals corresponding to a surface of said document which includes a play area, said controller being adapted to capture image data corresponding to said image signals which indicates contrast between areas of said at least one play area covered by said scratch-off material and 119
areas of said play area not covered by said scratch-off material.
80. The system of claim 79, wherein said outer surface exhibits a first reflectance characteristic under illumination in said predetermined band of wavelengths and wherein said indicia icon surface exhibits a second reflectance characteristic under illumination in said predetermined band of wavelengths so that said image data corresponding to said outer surface captured by said imaging subsystem is in contrast with said image data corresponding to said indicia icon surface.
81. The system of claim 80, wherein said first and second reflectance characteristics are ranges of reflectance measurements.
82. The system of claim 79, wherein at least one of said outer surface and said indicia icon surface includes a background portion and a pattern portion, wherein said indicia icon surface and said outer surface exhibit distinguishable reflectance characteristics under illumination in said predetermined band of wavelengths, and wherein said background and pattern portion of said at least either of said outer and indicia icon surface exhibit distinguishable reflectance characteristics under illumination in said predetermined band of wavelengths. 120
83. The system of claim 79, wherein said outer surface includes a background portion and a pattern portion, and wherein said indicia icon surface includes a background portion and a pattern portion, and wherein said pattern portion of said outer surface exhibits a first reflectance characteristic, said background portion of said indicia icon surface exhibits a second reflectance characteristic, said pattern portion of said icon surface exhibits a third reflectance characteristic, and said background portion exhibits a fourth reflectance characteristic under illumination in said predetermined band of wavelengths so that in said image data, said image data corresponding to said outer surface is in contrast with image data corresponding to said icon surface, and said image data corresponding to said background portion is in contrast with image data corresponding to said pattern portion of both of said outer and icon surface.
84. The system of claim 79, wherein said illumination source emitting light in said predetermined band of wavelengths is a first illumination source of said imaging subsystem and wherein said imaging subsystem includes a second illumination source emitting light in a second band of wavelengths different from that of said first illumination source, wherein at least one of said outer and icon surface include both a background portion and a pattern portion, wherein said background and pattern portion exhibit distinguishable reflectance characteristics under illumination by said 121
second illumination source, and wherein said outer and icon surface exhibit distinguishable reflectance characteristics under illumination by said first illumination source.
85. The system of claim 79, wherein said controller is adapted to determine a present identification code corresponding to said code symbol for each ticket received in said apparatus, wherein said apparatus further includes an identification code to game data correlation means in communication with said controller correlating a plurality of identification codes with at least either of physical characteristic game data or flag status indicator game data, wherein said controller is adapted to read data from said correlation means while processing a ticket so that operation of said apparatus is dependent on said present identification code.
86. The system of claim 79, wherein said controller is further adapted to analyze said image data to determine whether said game ticket has been played based on whether said image data satisfies a predetermined criteria indicative of said ticket being played.
87. The system of claim 86, wherein said determination of said controller of whether said ticket has been played depends on a percentage ratio of light pixels to dark pixels in said image data. 122
88. The system of claim 79, wherein said controller is further adapted to analyze said image data to determine whether said game ticket has been tampered with based on whether said image data satisfies a predetermined criteria indicative of said ticket being tampered with.
89. The system of claim 88, wherein said determination of said controller of whether said ticket has been tampered with depends on a percentage ratio of light pixels to dark pixels in said image data.
90. The system of claim 79, wherein said apparatus further includes a brander, and wherein said controller is adapted to operate said brander so that each ticket received in said apparatus is marked by a predetermined pattern indicating that said ticket is received in said apparatus .
91. The system of claim 90, wherein said controller is adapted to analyze said image data to determine if said ticket has been previously played based on whether said image data includes a pattern corresponding to said predetermined brand pattern.
92. The system of claim 79, wherein said imaging subsystem includes an imaging assembly adapted to detect for the presence of a wavelength sensitive additive which may have been incorporated in said ticket. 123
93. A lottery game ticket having topside and a bottomside surface, and a play area formed on at least one of said surfaces and scratch-off material formed on said play area, said game ticket being characterized in that said play area includes : an outer surface; and an indicia icon surface exposed in area of said play area where said scratch-off material is removed, said indicia icon surface and said outer surface being adapted to exhibit predetermined reflectance characteristics under illumination at a predetermined wavelength of light .
