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 2):
The authentication apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the pattern defining elements are arranged in groups of pixels to form a plurality of sub-patterns, and the sub-patterns are repeated at prescribed spatial intervals and a prescribed orientation or a plurality of prescribed orientations to correspond to characteristic values of the embedded data; and wherein each embedded data has a characteristic signal strength which is dependent on magnitude of the embedded data relative to its immediate surrounding background; and wherein the embedded data has a characteristic signal strength which begins to fall noticeably when illumination on the sub-patterns rises above an upper threshold illumination level or drops below a lower threshold illumination level.
