Definitions
- the invention relates to a banknote processing machine and a method for recognizing counterfeit banknotes.
- Banknote processing machines are used to check banknotes with regard to their properties, such as authenticity, condition, type of banknote, etc. Depending on the result of the check, the banknotes can, for example, be accepted, sorted, stored, destroyed, etc.
- the detection of counterfeit banknotes is particularly important.
- certain banknotes i.e. H. a certain denomination of a certain currency, counterfeits become known, these counterfeits are also used to derive the comparison data.
- the real banknotes and counterfeits are processed with a banknote processing machine in order to generate data from the sensors of the banknote processing machine for the real banknotes and counterfeits. Comparative data for the detection of the banknotes and the checking of their authenticity are then derived from the data of the sensors, in sometimes very complex processing steps.
- banknote processing machine and a method for recognizing counterfeit banknotes with the features of claims 1 and 6.
- the banknote processing machine according to the invention and the method according to the invention for recognizing counterfeit banknotes it is assumed that the banknotes to be checked are compared with comparison data which are derived from real banknotes and known counterfeits, additional comparison data being used for novel counterfeits, and that too checking banknotes are compared both with the comparison data and also with the additional comparison data for novel counterfeits in order to determine whether a counterfeit banknote is present.
- the figure shows a schematic representation of a basic structure of a banknote processing machine for the detection of counterfeit banknotes.
- the banknote processing machine 10 has an input compartment 20 for the input of banknotes 21 to be processed, in which a separator 22 engages.
- the separator 22 detects one of the to be processed.
- Banknotes 21 and transfers the individual banknote to a transport system 23, which transports the individual banknote through a sensor device 30.
- features of each individual bank note are recorded which are relevant, for example, for assessing the authenticity, the type (currency, denomination), the condition, etc. of the bank note.
- Such features can be detected mechanically, acoustically, optically, electrically and / or magnetically, for example.
- Known authenticity features include, for example, printing inks with special optical and / or magnetic properties, metallic or magnetic security threads, the use of brightener-free banknote paper, information contained in an electrical circuit, etc.
- the type of banknote is used e.g. B. determined by their size, print pattern, colors, etc., whereas the state of the banknote can be derived, for example, from the visual appearance (contamination).
- the features are detected by the sensor device 30 and corresponding data from the sensor device 30 are transferred to a control device 40.
- the control device 40 compares the data of the detected features with comparison data which enable the detection of genuine or counterfeit and / or suspect counterfeit banknotes, the type of banknotes, the state of the banknotes etc.
- the comparison data and the programs required for the operation of the banknote processing machine 10 are available as software and are stored in the control device 40 or in a non-volatile memory 41 assigned to the control device 40.
- the non-volatile memory 41 can e.g. B. from an EEPROM or a flash memory.
- a not shown set working memory can be connected to the control device 40, which is used by the control device 40 for the execution of the software.
- the comparison data stored in the non-volatile memory 41 are generated for each type of bank note, in particular for each denomination of the currencies that are to be processed with the bank note processing machine 10.
- the comparison data are generated by scanning a number of real banknotes of every denomination and currency by means of the sensor device 30 or a similarly constructed, other sensor device, and in doing so the features described above are detected and corresponding data is generated.
- counterfeits of the respective denomination and currency are processed in the same way and are particularly marked as counterfeits.
- Comparative data are generated from the data of the real banknotes and the forgeries for each denomination of each currency, which are suitable for recognizing the respective denomination and currency and for checking their authenticity.
- comparison data for the detection ie determination of denomination and currency
- checking the authenticity In order to be independent of the respective position of the individual bank notes during the later processing of bank notes, the comparison data is usually generated for all four possible layers of the bank notes. The corresponding comparison data is generated in the same way for all denominations of all currencies that are to be checked.
- switches 24, 26 arranged in the transport system 23 are actuated in order, for example, to store counterfeit and / or suspect counterfeit banknotes in an output compartment 25, whereas banknotes classified as genuine are in another output compartment 27 can be filed.
- the transport system 23 can also be continued so that the banknotes can be fed to a further processing 28, for. B. additional output compartments, a safe or a cassette, a shredder, etc.
- an input / output device 45 is connected to the control device 40, for example in order to be able to select certain processing modes or to inform the operator about the processing of the banknotes 21.
- the banknote processing machine 10 described by way of example can be used to count, check, sort, etc. banknotes. It is also conceivable that the banknote processing machine 10 forms an automatic switch that can be used, for example, for depositing banknotes. The banknote processing machine 10 can also be part of a vending machine.
- the required software in particular the comparison data
- the interface 42 which allows the software or the comparison data stored in the non-volatile memory 41 to be replaced in whole or in part and / or for additional information. to add components.
- the interface 42 z. B. designed as a modem, network connection, Internet connection, as a parallel, serial or USB interface, or as a reading device for an optical or magnetic memory, etc.
- the new counterfeits are processed in the manner described above with the banknote processing machine 10 or a sensor device corresponding to the sensor device 30, and the data of the features of the novel counterfeit are generated. Additional comparison data for the novel counterfeiting are derived from the data. Deviations from the new counterfeiting of real banknotes are particularly suitable for this. The deviations can be recognized and selected by an operator, for example because the deviations of the novel forgery are visible. However, it is also possible for the data or comparison data of the real banknotes described above to be used. In this case, the data of the novel counterfeiting originating from the sensor device 30 are compared with the data or comparison data of the real banknotes, the comparison being carried out by the operator or automatically, e.g. B.
- Comparative data for the novel counterfeiting are derived and generated from the deviations obtained in this way. As described above, it can be provided that comparison data for each of the four possible positions of the banknote, i.e. H. novel counterfeiting, can be derived and generated so that the recognition of the new counterfeiting can take place later regardless of the respective situation.
- the comparison data of the novel counterfeits can then be distributed to any number of bank note processing machines 10, loaded via the interface 42 and stored in the non-volatile memory 41.
- banknotes 21 are processed with the banknote processing machine 10
- the banknotes 21 to be processed are then compared both with the comparison data already available in the non-volatile memory 41 and also with the additional comparison data of the novel counterfeits which was subsequently loaded via the interface 42. If banknotes are identified as counterfeits on the basis of the comparison data for the novel counterfeits, they are identified as counterfeits in accordance with the customary procedure and treated accordingly, eg. B. stored in the output tray 25.
- the checking of the banknotes can be carried out more effectively if the control device 40 first determines in the banknote processing machine 10 what type of banknote it is, ie what currency the banknote belongs to and what denomination it has. If it has already been ascertained during the checking of the authenticity of the bank note with the comparison data originally present in the non-volatile memory 41 that it is a forgery, a further check can be omitted. Otherwise, it is then specifically checked whether the determined type of banknote (currency, denomination) additional comparative data for new counterfeits are available. If no comparison data is available, the check can be ended. In the event of comparison data for one or more novel counterfeits, the corresponding comparison data can be compared with the data of the sensor device 30 for the respective bank note in order to determine whether the respective bank note is counterfeit.
- the data of the sensor device 30 of the respective bank note may be checked first with the additional comparison data or for new counterfeits and then for the check to be carried out with the originally available comparison data.
- the bank notes can be transported along their long or short edges by the transport system 23 when they are processed in the bank note processing machine 10. It is obvious that depending on the design of the transport system 23, corresponding comparison data must be provided, since the comparison data depend on the transport direction of the banknotes.
- control device 40, the non-volatile memory 41, the sensor device 30, etc. are not directly connected to one another as shown, but rather via one or more data buses.
- a further modification can consist in that a separate control device and / or a separate non-volatile memory is provided for the sensor device 30, which carries out the checking of the banknotes and forwards the result of the checking of the banknotes to the control device 40 so that the latter can be used in the above described manner can perform the control of the banknote processing machine 10.
- software is made available and loaded separately for the control device 40 and the separate control device. The software can also be made available and loaded together for both control devices.
