Abstract:
A print device prints a document with a security marking in a microtext font. A scanning device scans the security marking, and an optical character recognition (OCR) engine attempts to recognize the characters in the security marking. The system the generates an encoding in which each character of the font is mapped to a character string made up only of characters that the OCR engine could recognize at or above a minimum recognition threshold. Then, when generating a new document with a new security marking in the microtext font, the system will use the encoding to replace each character in the security marking with its representation from the encoding so that the scanner and OCR engine can decode the security marking.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of generating an encoding for printing secure information on a document, the method comprising:\n by a print device, printing on a substrate a security mark comprising a plurality of characters in a microtext font, wherein each of the plurality of characters appears more than one time in the security mark; by a scanning device, scanning the security mark to create a digital image that includes the security mark; by an image processing server, executing programming instructions to implement an optical character recognition (OCR) engine by:\n receiving the digital image that was created by the scanning device and that includes the security mark, \n applying an OCR process to the digital image to attempt to recognize the plurality of characters in the security mark, \n identifying which of the plurality of characters in the security mark are recognized via the OCR process at least a number of times that exceeds a recognition threshold, \n saving the plurality of characters that are recognized via the OCR process at least a threshold number of times as a character subset for an encoding; and \n by a processing device, executing programming instructions to generate an encoding by:\n determining how many characters are in the character subset, \n determining how many font characters are required to print the microtext font, \n generating an encoding comprising a representation of each of the font characters by an encoded character string that consists of one or more of the characters that are in the character subset, and \n saving the encoding to a memory device.
