Abstract:
An apparatus comprises an image capturing device, a light emitting device for illuminating an object to be captured by the image capturing device, a visual guide to guide a user to aim the apparatus at a target authentication device, and a processor. The visual guide is devised such that when the apparatus is aimed at the target authentication device following guidance of the visual guide, the brightness levels on an image of the target authentication device captured by the image capturing device while under illumination of the light emitting device are within a predetermined range of brightness levels to facilitate verification of authenticity with reference to the captured image of the target authentication device.

Claim (Index 6):
The authentication apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a smart phone operable to execute stored instructions to capture an image of the target authentication device for subsequent verification of authenticity and has an elongate housing which extends along a longitudinal axis between a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, wherein the display screen and the light emitting device are on opposite major sides of the elongate housing such that the housing is between the target authentication device and the display screen during normal image capture operations, wherein the light emitting device is a built-in localized light source of the smart phone which is to project a concentrated beam of supplemental illumination along an axis of light projection and towards the capture surface, and wherein the capture surface has the highest level of supplemental illumination at a location where the axis of light projection meets the capture surface and the level of illumination on the capture surface falls on moving away from the location of the highest level of illumination.
