Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for processing sheet material, in particular securities such as banknotes, checks, etc., in which different groups of sheet material are processed one after the other, with the different groups of sheet material being separated for processing and the separate groups of sheet material being separated a banknote processing machine are processed.
  • a method and a bank-note processing machine for processing different groups of banknotes are known, for example, from US Pat JP 62-82493 A known.
  • the different groups of banknotes correspond to deposits from different depositors, which are separated by means of separation cards.
  • the separation cards are inserted between the various deposits to separate them.
  • the separation cards can be arranged at the beginning, at the end or at the beginning and at the end of the respective deposit group forming banknotes.
  • the separation cards may contain information about, for example, the depositor and / or the deposit.
  • the separation cards are designed so that they are automatically recognized in the processing of the bank-note processing machine. If a separation card is detected, the banknote processing machine can record the associated group of banknotes for the corresponding deposit or for the corresponding depositor.
  • the known method has the disadvantage that despite the design of the separation cards in the processing of different groups of sheet material again and again to interference and erroneous results, because the separation cards are not recognized by the banknote processing machine or the information of the separation cards are not read can not be taken into account accordingly. Further problems are caused by the fact that the preparation, ie the separation by means of the separation cards by an operator, prone to error.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for processing sheet material, in particular securities such as banknotes, checks, etc., in which different groups of sheet material are processed one after the other, with the different groups of sheet material being separated for processing, which allows processing of the various groups of sheet material, which is improved both in terms of the recognition of the different groups of sheet material by the bank-note processing machine, as well as in the error-prone in the preparation by an operator.
  • the release agent as a container leads to a secure separation of the individual groups of sheet material. Since different groups of sheet material are clearly separated and grouped even before the actual processing, confusion, misallocation and transmission errors, such as may occur in a later, simultaneous grouping of the different groups of sheet material, can be avoided. In addition, the container can be separated and processed as Blattgut.

  • the separation cards are detected in the sensor device 112 and information contained on the separation card is detected by the sensor device 112.
  • the determined data of the banknotes and the detected information of the separation cards are transferred to a control device 140, which evaluates the data and information and thus controls the further flow of the banknotes or separation cards through the banknote processing machine 100.
  • the control device 140 acts on switches 121 to 124, which are components of the transport system 120 and allow the banknotes or

  • the separation cards are used to detect the limits of various deposits in automatic banknote processing and rejected banknotes, ie. H. Banknotes that have been classified as false or faulty in the review by the sensor device 112 and controller 140 to distinguish from each other.
  • the separation cards are vouchers that can be singulated, transported and stacked in the banknote processing machine 100 like banknotes. Their design is designed so that they are clearly distinguished from banknotes and therefore can be recognized by the banknote processing machine 100.
  • the separation cards differ from the banknotes to be processed in physical properties such as size, shape and thickness, in the imprint, by color and pattern or other features such as magnetic areas.
  • a separator card may include conductive elements that are printed or otherwise applied to the separator card. These conductive elements are also to be reliably detected in the case of multiple copies, ie if instead of a banknote or separation card several banknotes or banknotes and separation cards are detected by the separator 111, resulting in a masking of the separation cards. It is particularly advantageous if these patterns differ so clearly from conductive elements on banknotes (eg security thread or other applied conductive security elements) that even in the case of a multiple deduction with scaly banknotes, the presence of a separation card is not mistakenly displayed or an existing separation card is not recognized becomes.
  • banknotes eg security thread or other applied conductive security elements
  • conductive patterns has over known methods, for. B. on the basis of magnetic beams, the advantage that the conductivity is largely independent of the distance to the detecting measuring system and thus has a higher reliability.
  • Another advantage is that the conductivity is detectable even at a standstill or very slow running of the transport system, while in the magnetic evaluation, a dependence of the signal strength is given by the transport speed.
  • the detection of such conductive elements can for example be done by sensors which feed a high-frequency electric field in one place and have a receiver for high-frequency fields at another location. In the presence of a conductive transmission path results in a capacitive coupling between the transmitter and receiver and thus a reliable proof.
  • inductive elements or antenna coils may be wound in a conventional process in the form of a flat coil or printed as a coil by means of a conductive ink.

  • the data mapping is z. B. by means of a unique identifier, eg. B. a bar code, produced on the separation card or information card. In another application, it may happen that the value of the deposit is unknown and should be determined only in the banknote processing.
  • a first approach is to create a usable as a separation card slip already by the payer.

  • Separation cards or information cards can be provided with information.
  • This information may be an identification code which allows an indirect link to the data of the deposit held in another system. This identification code may already have been previously printed or created during preparation by means of a device for coding separation cards. Additionally or alternatively, the separation card may contain direct deposit information (customer name, target value, number of banknotes separated by denomination, etc.) and used as a billing document. This information may be provided in the form of a machine-readable bar code (bar code), as information on a magnetic stripe or in the form of machine-readable character sets (OCR writing).

  • separation card examples include machine-readable information that is clearly related to a deposit, e.g. B. by means of a two-dimensional bar code. As a result, either the amount of information can be significantly increased or the information can be encoded so that it can also be read with a sensor device with a lower resolution.

  • Another possibility for applying and reading information on a separation card is the use of optical encodings, as are common, for example, in compact discs. With this technique, a very large amount of information can be applied to a very small area and read optically, for example with a laser.
  • Another way to apply and read information on a divider card is to use methods with location and / or intensity dependent features on the divider card.
  • the location and size of conductive elements on the separator card can be used to individually encode separator cards.

  • optically visible imprints which differ clearly in form, arrangement, intensity and spectral property (color) and thus allow an individual identification.
  • a very advantageous separation card results from the use of a chip embedded on the separation card with a transponder.
  • the transponder is applied in the form of a coil or antenna on the separation card and communicates with a chip embedded in the separation card.

  • This separator card is stacked in the special output unit and contains all information for the final billing and booking of the deposit.
  • This method has the further advantage over all known methods, that the information also in a case by case masking of the separation card by banknotes can be read and written and therefore a stop of the machine and a subsequent input of the information can be omitted.
  • This method also offers the possibility of the separator card receiving a corresponding credit entry, which the depositor can continue to use as a credit on a cash card.

  • the information on the separation card is also read by the sensor device 112. If the banknote processing machine 100 recognized a separation card but could not read the information on the separation card or did not read it correctly, the singulation can be stopped and the operator is prompted to manually enter the unread information. For this purpose, the bank-note processing machine 100 displays a list of the recognized separation cards by means of an input / output unit 150 and marks therein the unread separation cards. The operator searches the unread separation card (s) in the special output unit 130, 131, and inputs the information by means of the input / output unit 150. In doing so, the operator may be replaced by special readers, e.g. a bar code reader, which is part of the input / output unit to be supported.

  • control unit 140 of the bank-note processing machine 100 sums up the results of the stacked banknotes of all runs for each deposit, so that the repeated processing for the subsequent processing steps and calculations is not taken into account.
  • the depositor will receive a credit of the deposit value, a confirmation of the credit for the deposit or a correction of the credit with a deposit disclaimer.
  • this information can also be made electronically, by fax or by sending a message.
  • Deposits usually consist of several denominations.
  • the individual denominations are initially presorted and often combined to form uncluttered packets of 100 banknotes.
  • An arbitrary mixture of the denominations in successive banknotes generally occurs only with deposits from a depositor or vending machine.
  • the deposits are usually structured in such a way that they initially contain the banknotes of identical denominations in packs.
  • the banknotes exceeding the respective full 100-number are also summarized as remaining banknotes. This law can be used advantageously in many ways.
  • the bank note processing machine can estimate reliable probabilities of which denomination values are likely to be next to be singled banknotes. This knowledge can be optimally utilized if, for example, only a single output unit is available for a specific denomination and the output unit can not accept banknotes during a banding operation. In conventional methods, there are possibilities for the bills to be sent to an alternate output unit (usually the special output unit) and, optionally, for dicing to be paused until the output unit is ready again. In accordance with the present boundary conditions of the bank-note processing machine, this can be up to ten or fifteen banknotes, because initially the entire transport path must be cleared.
  • the processing by the banknote processing machine can be optimized so that it is checked before reaching the number of banknotes necessary for the banding, if in the respective deposit still enough banknotes of this just sorted denominations are available.
  • the separation can be stopped so early that the output unit just receives the number of banknotes necessary for the banding and no or only a few banknotes must be sent to the alternate output unit. If the test reveals that the number required for banding is unlikely to be met because a denomination change is imminent, the banknote processing machine may continue to singulate at full speed. There will then be no overflow banknotes, because the other banknotes of the other denomination will be routed anyway in another output unit.
  • a potential problem in the separation card processing is caused by the change of the stacking order in the special output unit 130, 131. This can occur, in particular, in the case of poor banknote qualities, when bank notes are separated together with separation cards or bank notes in the special issue unit 130, 131 are not stacked flat on the preceding bank notes, but remain standing upright. This alters the order and it is not ensured that the bills are properly stacked in position to the respective separation card.
  • One method for solving this problem is to use at least two special output units 130, 131 and 132, 133 which are alternately fed. Each time a divider card is detected and thus a new deposit begins, the system switches to the other special dispensing unit. This gives a monitoring controller the opportunity to carry out a review of the tray in the now resulting gap of the uninspired special output unit. This check can for example be done so that it is checked with the help of the light barrier or an image analysis, whether the banknotes and separation cards are properly and flat lying on top of each other in the tray. In the event of a deviation, the separation is stopped and the operator is prompted to check and correct the tray.
  • Another method of solving this problem is the immediate detection of the separation card at or shortly after singulation. Such recognition is based on the search for the characteristics of the separation card such as conductive or magnetic elements or signals of a coil or the transponder of an embedded chip.
  • the method consists in determining the differences present in a deposit cassette by a corresponding data evaluation by the control unit 140 and displaying them on the input / output unit 150. If positive and negative differences of the same value have occurred in successive deposits, these are probably spurious differences that can be resolved by reposting one or more banknotes. If multiple differences have occurred in a deposit cassette or in non-immediate neighborhood, more complicated shifts will result. This problem is solved by presenting in a table all the deposits with differences in the order in which they were processed by the banknote processing machine 100. This will display all available data, such as Target amount, actual amount, difference, target number per denomination, actual number per denomination, special occurrences during the processing (eg standing banknote in the special output unit) etc.
  • the data evaluation program of the control unit 140 can determine from logical contexts a suggestion which permutations have presumably occurred and accordingly submit a correction proposal via the input / output unit 150.
  • the correction is carried out by the user making corresponding transfers between the deposits by means of the input / output unit 150 and thus eliminates the effects of permutations.
  • the data evaluation program ensures that only logically sensible transfer postings can be made and that the secured billed value for each deposit cassette is not changed.
  • Another method of resolving such exchanges is to use additional separation cards within a deposit. This can be done, for example, by inserting an additional separation card between the individual parcels or denomination limits of a deposit. With this additional separation card, an identification number is not essential. Due to the structure of the deposit, there is a clearer distinction between real and unreal differences: If all deposits are the same have fixed order of denominations, permutations always have different denominations due to a neighborly relationship.
  • the deposits consist of a first, second and third denomination (in this order) and these are each delimited from each other by an additional separation card. If a shortfall in the subset of the first denomination of the first deposit and a surplus of a value corresponding to the third denomination occur in the subunit of the first denomination of the second deposit, the exchange of a banknote with the third denomination has most probably occurred , If the excess amount in the subset of the first denomination of the second deposit has occurred with a value corresponding to the first denomination, then it is far more likely that both differences are true differences and not caused by a trade-off.
