Definitions

  • the present invention relates document deskewing.
  • the invention relates to a self-service document depositing terminal, and a document deskewing module therefor.
  • ATM bunch document depositing automated teller machine
  • an ATM customer In a typical bunch document depositing ATM, an ATM customer is allowed to deposit a bunch of documents such as currency notes or checks (without having to place any of the documents in a deposit envelope) in a publicly accessible, unattended environment.
  • the ATM customer To deposit a bunch of documents, the ATM customer typically inserts a user identification card through a user card slot at the ATM, and inserts the bunch of documents to be deposited through a slot of a bunch document acceptor.
  • a document transport mechanism receives the inserted bunch of documents and transports the documents one-by-one in a forward direction along a document transport path to a number of locations within the ATM to process the documents.
  • the document transport mechanism may transport the entire bunch of documents in a manner to return the bunch of documents to the ATM customer. If the entire bunch of documents is accepted for deposit, the amount of the bunch of documents is deposited into the ATM customer's account and the documents are transported one by one to a number of storage bins within the ATM. If a bunch of documents is a bunch of checks, an endorser printer prints an endorsement onto each check as the check is being transported to and stored in a check storage bin. If a bunch of documents is a bunch of currency notes, then each currency note is transported to and stored in a currency storage bin. Documents in the different storage bins within the ATM are periodically picked up and physically transported to a back office facility of a financial institution for further processing.
  • a document may become skewed as the document is being transported along the document transport path to the different locations with the ATM.
  • Document deskewing mechanisms are known. However, these known document deskewing mechanisms are designed to deskew only one type of document (e.g., either a currency note or a check, but not both). When a document deskewing mechanism is designed to deskew only one type of document, the mechanism is effective in deskewing a document of only that particular type. This is because different types of documents are of different sizes, different thicknesses, different paper grades, or the like. It would be desirable to provide a document deskewing mechanism which is effective to deskew a bunch of documents containing multiple types of documents such as a mixture of checks and currency notes.
  • JP H05 43092 discloses a method and a device according the the preamble of claims 1 and 7 respectively.
  • a method of operating a document deskewing module for a self-service bunch document depositing terminal according to claim 1.
  • a document deskewing module for a self-service bunch document depositing terminal according to claim 7.
  • a bunch document depositing automated teller machine for processing a mixed bunch documents including checks and currency notes
  • the bunch document depositing ATM comprising a document deskewing module according to the second aspect.
  • a self-service bunch document depositing terminal in the form of an image-based bunch document depositing automated teller machine (ATM) 10 is illustrated.
  • the check depositing ATM 10 comprises a fascia 12 coupled to a chassis (not shown).
  • the fascia 12 defines an aperture 16 through which a camera (not shown) images a customer of the ATM 10.
  • the fascia 12 also defines a number of slots for receiving and dispensing media items, and a tray 40 into which coins can be dispensed.
  • the slots include a statement output slot 42, a receipt slot 44, a card reader slot 46, a cash slot 48, another cash slot 50, and a bunch document input/output slot 52.
  • the slots 42 to 52 and tray 40 are arranged such that the slots and tray align with corresponding ATM modules mounted within the chassis of the ATM 10.
  • the fascia 12 provides a user interface for allowing an ATM customer to execute a transaction.
  • the fascia 12 includes an encrypting keyboard 34 for allowing an ATM customer to enter transaction details.
  • a display 36 is provided for presenting screens to an ATM customer.
  • a fingerprint reader 38 may also be provided for reading a fingerprint of an ATM customer to identify the ATM customer.
  • the user interface features described above are all provided on an NCR PERSONAS (trademark) 6676 ATM, available from NCR Financial Solutions Group Limited, Discovery Centre, 3 Fulton Road, Dundee, DD2 4SW, Scotland.
  • a scalable deposit module (SDM) 60 is illustrated.
  • Fig. 2 is a simplified schematic diagram (looking approximately in the direction of arrow X in Fig. 1 ) of part of the fascia 12 and main parts of the SDM 60.
  • Fig. 3 is a left-front perspective view of the SDM 60 shown in Fig. 2 .
  • the SDM 60 of Figs. 2 and 3 comprises five main units which include an infeed module 70, a transport module 80, a pocket module 90, an escrow re-bunch module (ERBM) 99, and a document deskewing module 200.
  • the infeed module 70 receives a bunch of documents deposited into the bunch document input/output slot 52, and transports the documents one-by-one to an inlet of the transport module 80.
  • the dimensions of the infeed module 70 such as its run length, may vary depending upon the particular model ATM in which the SDM 60 is installed.
  • the structure and operation of the infeed module 70 are conventional and well known and, therefore, will not be described.
  • the transport module 80 includes a document transport mechanism which receives a document from the inlet adjacent to the infeed module 70, and transports the document along a first document track portion 61 which is the main track portion.
  • the transport module 80 further includes a document diverter 82 which is operable to divert a document along a second document track portion 62 to the pocket module 90, and a third document track portion 63 which leads to the ERBM 99 and then back to the infeed module 70.
  • the third document track 103 allows a bunch of documents which has accumulated in the ERBM 99 to be transported back to the infeed module 70.
  • the structure and operation of diverter 82 shown in Fig. 2 may be any suitable diverter which is capable of diverting a document along one of two different document transport paths. The structure and operation of diverter 82 are conventional and well known and, therefore, will not be described.
  • the transport module 80 further includes a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) head 83 for reading magnetic details on a code line of a check.
  • the transport module 80 also includes an imager 84 including a front imaging camera 85 and a rear imaging camera 86 for capturing an image of each side of a check (front and rear).
  • An endorser printer 88 is provided for printing endorsements onto checks.
  • An image data memory 94 is provided for storing images of checks.
  • a controller 95 is provided for controlling the operation of the elements within the SDM 60.
  • the pocket module 90 includes a check storage bin 91 ( Fig. 3 ) for storing processed checks.
  • the pocket module 90 further includes a currency storage bin 92 for storing processed currency notes.
  • the pocket module 90 also includes a reject bin 93 for storing rejected documents.
  • the structure and operation of the pocket module 90 are conventional and well known and, therefore, will not be described.
  • the SDM 60 processes a bunch of documents of different types (such as currency notes, checks, or a combination thereof).
  • a bunch of documents When a bunch of documents is being processed, each document of the bunch is separated at the infeed module 70 before it is individually processed. Each processed document is then re-assembled at the ERBM 99 to bunch the documents back together.
  • Bunch processing of different types of documents is sometimes referred to as "multiple-document processing". Since individual documents are being bunched back together, an escrow module (such as the ERBM 99 shown in Figs. 2 and 3 ) is needed.
  • the ERBM 99 is manufactured and available from Glory Products, located in Himeji, Japan. The ERBM 99 allows a bunch of documents to be processed in a single transaction.
  • the bunch of documents is transported via the third document track portion 63 back to the infeed module 70 to return the unprocessed bunch of documents to the ATM customer.
  • the document deskewing module 200 includes a top guide assembly 202 ( Fig. 4 ) which guides a document in the direction of arrow A along the first document track portion 61 ( Fig. 5 ).
  • Fig. 4 is a top perspective view, looking approximately in the direction of arrow Y in Fig. 3 .
  • Fig. 5 is a view similar to the top perspective view of Fig. 4 , with some parts including the top guide assembly 202 removed to better illustrate certain parts of the document deskewing module 200.
  • Fig. 6 is a bottom view, looking approximately in the direction of arrow Z shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the document deskewing module 200 has a relatively straight reference surface or edge 204 against which a document abuts as the document is being transported along the first document track portion 61 in the direction of arrow A.
  • the reference surface 204 is referred to herein as the track bottom.
  • a first set of track sensors 206a, 206b, 206c detects progress of the document as the document is being transported from an upstream end of the first document track portion 61 to a downstream end of the first document track portion.
  • a second set of track sensors 208a, 208b, 208c, 208d detects when the document has been deskewed in a manner to be described hereinbelow.
  • a first set of drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c cooperates with a first set of idler rollers 212a, 212b, 212c ( Fig. 4 ) to advance the document downstream along the first document track portion 61.
  • the first set of drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c operate in direct contact with the opposing idlers 212a, 212b, 212c giving a large drive force and is referred to herein as the hard drive rollers.
  • the first set of idler rollers 212a, 212b, 212c is referred to herein as the hard drive idlers.
  • the hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c lie "parallel" to the direction of document movement as indicated by arrow A shown in Fig. 5 .
  • a set of compression springs 214a, 214b, 214c maintains the set of hard drive idlers 212a, 212b, 212c in contact with the opposing set of hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c.
  • a first set of lifter arms 314a, 314b, 314c allows the set of hard drive idlers 212a, 212b, 212c to be disengaged from the set of hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c, in a manner to be described later herein.
  • a second set of drive rollers 310a, 310b cooperates with a second set of idler rollers 312a, 312b ( Fig. 4 ) to direct the document against the track bottom 204.
  • the second set of drive rollers 310a, 310b do not contact the opposing idlers 312a, 312b directly while operating giving a much lighter drive force and is referred to herein as the soft drive rollers.
  • the second set of idler rollers 312a, 312b is referred to herein as the soft drive idlers.
  • the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b are "angled" relative to the hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b, 310c lie "angled" to the direction of document movement as indicated by arrow A shown in Fig. 5 .
  • a second set of lifter arms 316a, 316b allows the set of soft drive idlers 312a, 312b to move away from the set of soft drive rollers 310a, 310b, in a manner to be described later herein.
  • each of the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b has a corresponding one of U-shaped depressions 322a, 322b.
  • the U-shaped depression 322a is associated with the soft drive roller 310a and is disposed between a pair of tire surfaces 324a of the soft drive roller 310a.
  • the corresponding soft drive idler 312a ( Fig. 4 ) runs inside the U-shaped depression 322a of the soft drive roller 310a, and does not contact soft drive roller 310a.
  • the U-shaped depression 322b is associated with the soft drive roller 310b and is disposed between a pair of tire surfaces 324b of the soft drive roller 310b.
  • the corresponding soft drive idler 312b ( Fig.
  • a corresponding set of adjustment screws 318a, 318b allows the positions of the set of soft drive idlers 312a, 312b to be adjusted relative to the positions of the set of soft drive rollers 310a, 310b.
  • the soft drive idler deflects the document into the U-shaped depression 322a.
  • the amount of drive force from the tire surfaces 324a acting on the document depends upon the amount of deflection force from the document.
  • the amount of deflection force from the document depends upon the extent to which the soft drive idler 312a is running inside of the U-shaped depression 322a (as determined by position of the adjustment screw 318a).
  • the amount of deflection force from the document also depends upon the relative stiffness (or relative limpness) of the particular document. For example, a relative stiffer document provides a greater amount of deflection force and, therefore, provides a greater amount of drive force (from the tire surfaces 324a) which acts on the document. Similarly, a relative limper document provides a lesser amount of deflection force and, therefore, provides a lesser amount of drive force (from the tire surfaces 324a) which acts on the document.
  • the angle of the tire surfaces 324a relative to the direction of travel (as indicated by arrow A) of document causes the document to abut against the track bottom 204.
  • variable drive force which acts on the document being transported along the first document track portion 61.
  • the variable drive force provided is such that relatively thicker or stiffer documents are driven harder, and relatively thinner or limper documents are driven more lightly.
  • This variable drive force is advantageous because (i) a relatively thicker or stiffer document (such as one that has been folded, curled or crumpled) requires more drive force to overcome the friction of travelling down the first document track portion 61, and (ii) a relatively thinner or limper document is less likely to deform as the document is more lightly pushed against the track bottom 204.
  • a first actuatable solenoid 230 ( Fig. 4 ) having an armature link 232 is operatively coupled through the first set of lifter arms 314a, 314b, 314c to the hard drive idlers 212a, 212b, 212c.
  • a second actuatable solenoid 234 having an armature link 236 is operatively coupled through the second set of lifter arms 316a, 316b to the soft drive idlers 312a, 312b.
  • the armature link 232 releases the first set of lifter arms 314a, 314b, 314c.
  • the second solenoid 234 is de-actuated and the second set of lifter arms 316a, 316b are lifted.
  • These two actions cause the hard drive idlers 212a, 212b, 212c to engage the hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c, and at the same time, the soft drive idlers 312a, 312b to move away from or "disengage" the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b. Accordingly, only one function of either hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c or the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b is normally provided at any one time.
  • the document When a document first comes out the infeed module 70, the document encounters the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b and the soft drive idlers 312a, 312b (i.e., the function of the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b is provided).
  • the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b and the soft drive idlers 312a, 312b push the document against the track bottom 204 until at least two of the deskew sensors 208a, 208b, 208c, 208d are blocked.
  • the second solenoid 234 is de-actuated to "disengage” the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b and the solenoid 230 is de-actuated to engage the hard drive rollers 210a, 210b 210c.
  • the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b are preferably disengaged at this point. Otherwise, a relative thin or limp document may begin to curl and jam if it travels any significant distance with the angled soft drive rollers 310a, 310b engaged. The document is now deskewed and is transported to other parts of the SDM 60 under control of the hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c.
  • the hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c be momentarily engaged if the document is detected to hesitate (or stop) while under control of the soft drive rollers 310a, 310b.
  • This momentary engagement of the hard drive rollers 210a, 210b, 210c would act as a small "nudge” or "kick" to the document in an attempt to correct what is causing the document to hesitate (or stop).
  • Self-service bunch document depositing terminals are generally public-access devices that are designed to allow a user to conduct a bunch document deposit transaction in an unassisted manner and/or in an unattended environment.
  • Self-service bunch document depositing terminals typically include some form of tamper resistance so that they are inherently resilient.
