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 3):
The authentication apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the visual guide includes an alignment device for guiding a user to position the image capturing device at a selected target relative position to the target authentication device such that when an image of the target authentication device appearing on the display surface is aligned with the alignment device and captured under supplemental illumination by the light emitting device to produce a captured image of the target authentication device, the captured image has a quality of fidelity greater than a predetermined fidelity threshold and a quantity of captured image pixel data greater than a quantity of pixels required to fully and accurately represent the target authentication device; wherein the predetermined fidelity threshold is satisfied when the quantity of captured image pixel data exceeding an overexposure threshold is not greater than a first threshold count, when the quantity of captured image pixel data below an underexposure threshold is not greater than a second threshold count, and when the quantity of captured image pixel data having brightness levels between the overexposure threshold and the underexposure threshold is of a sufficient amount to facilitate making of decision to verify authenticity of the target authentication device and such that the signal level of the embedded data is above a predetermined threshold; and wherein the data signal strength decreases with increase in the quantity of captured image pixel data below the underexposure threshold and/or with increase in the quantity of captured image pixel data above the overexposure threshold
