COMMERCIAL INTRUMENTS AND METHOD OF GENERATION THEREOF

摘要

The invention takes advantage of the human capacity to recognise a pattern that impinges upon the sensory inputs of a person required to authenticate a commercial instrument and provides a method for generating a series of commercial instruments which includes: a) providing first data relevant to a first commercial instrument to be generated; b) manipulating the first data in accordance with predetermined rules associated with said series to generate a pattern which is sensorially recognisable to an informed person; c) incorporating the pattern into a corresponding first commercial instrument; and d) repeating steps (a) to (c) for each further data relevant to a corresponding further commercial instrument in said series. The first data and further data preferably includs one or more of the following; texte; image; logos; maps; texture maps; symbols; barcode; typefaces and photographic imagery. The predetermined rules may include format and layout instruments and pattern generating instructions.
