Patent number: 9038907Abstract: An improved document scanning device and a scanning method for checking the transparency and thickness of an identification document. In a preferred embodiment, any one surface of the document is illuminated by the illumination source facing the said surface and the opposite surface of the document is captured by the camera. The amount of light that passes through the illuminated surface of the document is measured and contrasted with the amount of light that passes through the same surface of a reference or original document. The scanning method is also capable of validating an identification document by detecting and authenticating any laser image imprinted on such document.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: E-SEEK, INC.Inventors: Ali Lebaschi, Haksoo Kim, Peter Gamboa

Patent number: 8960547Abstract: An improved document scanner for imaging documents and decoding coded indicia such as bar codes and magnetic strips is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the scanner incorporates a set of emergency exit instructions so that a user can always retrieve sensitive documents at a moment's notice. These instructions include receiving an emergency exit command from a jamming sensor or from the user, and then attempting mechanical translation toward a first exit and further subsequent translation toward a second exit. If the document is not successfully retrieved, the scanner prepares for manual document extraction as detailed herein.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2012Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: E-Seek, Inc.Inventors: Ali Lebaschi, Haksoo Kim, Chung Yong Suh

Publication number: 20150002915Abstract: An adaptive and selective scanning method, particularly for identifying and authenticating identification cards, is disclosed herein. The present invention evolved from a trend of more intricate security features configured to modern ID cards motivating more sophisticated counterfeits. These intricate features would typically require higher resolution (therefore large electronic files) and increased scanning times that would be unworkable in many environments where scan time is very important, such as airport security. Essentially, the method comprises multiple timely passes where specific target data is obtained. Initial ID card passes are concentrated to magnetic strip, as well as one and two dimensional barcode information. Subsequent card passes are focused to high resolution images of a specific portion of the card thereby reducing scan time.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2013Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventor: Ali Lebaschi

Patent number: 8833658Abstract: An improved document or ID card scanner for imaging documents and decoding coded indicia such as bar codes and magnetic strips is disclosed. The scanner incorporates an internal motor and automatic multi-pass scanning function to quickly and accurately capture all data on a document. During these passes the document is imaged under a number of different lighting conditions and a magnetic strip is read multiple times. The document scanner can perform scans as the document moves in forward and reverse directions; and each scan occurs at a speed optimized to the particular scanning method and direction of the current pass. During the multiple passes, the document is scanned and or read at varying speeds for reliability and for different purposes as detailed herein.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: E-Seek, Inc.Inventors: Ali Lebaschi, Haksoo Kim, Chung Yong Suh

Patent number: 8181872Abstract: A device and method for imaging dual sided documents for authentification of the document. A document such as a driver's license traverses a linear flowpath into and out of a housing having a darkened interior. The document is segmentally imaged under a plurality of different light spectrums during travel along the flowpath. A data processor and software engaged to an imager capturing the segmented images assembles complete images of the document under one or a plurality of the light spectrums employed to yield a viewable rendition of both sides of the document to ascertain the presence of proper indica to validate the document. Also provided are a magnetic strip reader and bar code reader engaged to the data processor wherein data may be extracted therefrom for comparison to the images reviewed.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2008Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Inventors: Ali Lebaschi, Hak-Soo Kim

Patent number: 7505928Abstract: An interactive wide area computer network system and method for accessing and transmitting data using a printed page optical code. The code includes a system configuration mode identifier which configures the system to perform specified functions and allow the user certain interactive options. Based on the configuration mode and the user's selected option, the system generates and executes the necessary queries, commands, and responses to be routed upon the network. In an embodiment, a two dimensional optical code (“2DOC” or “barcode”) is printed on a magazine page advertisement containing information such as internet web addresses, product identity, advertisement identity, location, page number, magazine issue number, and geographic routing numbers.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2003Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Inventor: Ali Lebaschi

Patent number: 7131592Abstract: An improved card scanner for imaging and decoding data contained in indicia such as bar codes on a side surface of an inserted card. The device features a double scanning method using an electronic imaging element and processor which turns off unnecessary power when not required and begins processing data as soon as one captured image is determined complete. This is accomplished through the use of a processor and software to determine if a complete image of the bar code on the inserted card has been captured and allowing immediate processing for data and removal of the card. Should the image of the bar code be incomplete, a second scan is conducted of the bar code as it is removed and a complete image formed from the second or combination of the two individual scans. The device can also be used to compare photographs scanned from a card with the digital photograph encoded in a two dimensional bar code and to display both photos for comparison.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: November 7, 2006Assignee: E-Seek IncorporatedInventors: Ali Lebaschi, Scott Bradley, Hak-Soo Kim

Patent number: 5764485Abstract: A special so called BLOCKADE-Via.TM. apparatus and technique for more efficient circuiting and assembly of electronic components on a multilayer parallel-conductivity "printed-circuit board" employing high-density conductor-pins and solder-ball construction. A BGA(ball-grid array) component may be placed upon pads employing a array of special blocked-vias, thereby enabling any given ML/PCB design to option other circuit-path routings from each individual via pad. A special via cap is set forth, which may be employed in combination with a special occluding lower-layer of the ML/PCB substrate. Thus, additional discrete circuiting may also be installed upon the opposite side of the ML/PCB, an advantageous function facilitating assembly of two or more parallel-layered circuits, whereby former offset open-vias can be eliminated by employment of a special array of vias drilled to selective depths vertically-aligned directly below the BGA pads for example.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1996Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Inventor: Ali Lebaschi
