Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing banknotes which are provided in a banded state.
- Banknote packets which are fed to a banknote processing machine are usually strapped with banderoles.
- the bands are first removed.
- the entangled banknotes are then singulated and checked in the banknote processing machine. In this case, measurement data and / or serial numbers of each individual banknote are recorded. Finally, the banknotes are stored in one or more storage compartments for further processing.
- Such a banknote processing machine is for example from DE 10 2006 014 827 known.
- This also describes a stripping station which is connected upstream of each sheet material singler.
- the banknote stacks to be unbound are removed by means of a gripper from compartments which are transported along a transport path and fed to a stripper where the bands are severed by means of a cutting device and removed and discarded by means of a stripping device. Subsequently, the entbanderolATOR sheet material is returned to the subjects to be separated, tested and sorted below.
- in Entbanderolierer a photo station or a reader to information to record photographically on the band or to read data on the band.
- the reading of the data can be done for example by means of a bar code reader or OCR scanner.
- the photos and data are then stored in conjunction with a code for that input tray in which the associated sheet material stacks are transported.
- the information typically given on the banderoles is, for example, the denomination of banknotes of the banknote packet, the number of banknotes in the banknote packet, information about the recipient of the banknotes packet, such as name, logo or other indicator of the delivering bank and / or Signature, stamp, name etc. of the cashier of the delivering bank, information for preparing the package by means of another banknote processing machine or other information for identifying the banknote packet.
- a method for processing banknote bundles which are banded with a band is known.
- the banderole is removed there from the banknote bundle.
- a sensor such as an image sensor
- the information applied to the banderole information about the banknote bundle are detected.
- a digital camera is used, which images the front and / or back of the bundle, in particular the banding area.
- the US2003 / 0059098 A1 discloses an apparatus for checking banknotes, in which a scanhead scans both sides of a banknote transported past.
- the scanhead first scans the top of the bill, at a first position, and then the bottom of the bill, at a second position downstream of the first position.
- the top of the scanhead is detected by a mirror, the bottom side directly by a mirror.
- the band In order to fully capture the information contained on the band, the band must be photographed from both sides of the banknote packet. This is because information can be present on the banderoles both on the tops of the banknote packets and on the undersides of the banknote packets.
- One possibility would be to turn the banknote packet or the banderole between the two recordings and to photograph the two sides of the banderole successively by means of two photographs.

- the invention provides, using at least one mirror, to simultaneously optically capture information from different sections of the band, so that all the information is combined in one image.
- an image capture device such as a conventional digital camera, by means of a photographic image is digitally stored.
- the image capture device can be arranged stationary.
- the image capture can be done either before removing the band from the banknote stack, or after removing the banknote stack before the band is disposed of.
- the image capture device preferably has a camera, which is arranged so that at least a portion of the band is reflected via a mirror to the camera.
- a first portion of the band eg the top
- a second portion of the band eg the bottom
- the banderole is thus simultaneously recorded from two different sides with the camera.
- first information contained in a first portion of the band and second information contained in a second portion of the band can be detected simultaneously with the camera.
- the two sections may be the top and the bottom of a folded banderole.
- the two sections may also be the two opposite sides of an (unfolded) banderole, which is provided with information on its two opposite sides.
- a double-sided printed band after removal from the banknote packet, can be arranged so that it spans a plane (ie unfolded) and the information of the two opposing sections of this band is detected simultaneously with the camera.
- the invention can manage with a single mirror. If, for example, the objective of a camera is directed from one side onto the band, then the image-capturing area achievable with the objective can be adjusted beyond the band so that a mirror arranged laterally behind the band lies in the detection area, over which the back of the band simultaneously is recorded and recorded.
- the recording levels lie at different distances from the lens, so that the required recording quality can be guaranteed under certain circumstances only by additional technical means.
- a different section of the band can be optically detected via each of the two mirrors.
- a first beam path between a first portion of the band and the image capture device using the first mirror and a second beam path between a second portion of the band and the same image capture device using the second mirror generate.

- the image capture device in particular the optical axis of the taking lens, and the center plane of the banderole are preferably in the plane of symmetry, and the two mirrors are arranged symmetrically on opposite sides to the plane of symmetry so that opposing portions of the banderole can be simultaneously detected by the image capture device are.
- any other beam paths can be realized, in particular using additional mirrors. This can be useful mainly for reasons of space.
- the image acquisition takes place only after the removal of the banderole from the banknote stack.
- the banderole is severed on one side by means of a cutting device and removed by means of a stripping device from the banknote stack, as is generally known from the prior art.
- the removal of the band takes place such that two sections of the band come to lie one above the other.
- the banderole is folded once. This can be realized, for example, by pulling off the banderole from the banknote stack by means of a hook. The hook defines the fold line at the same time.
- both information can be acquired simultaneously in the manner described above.
- the banderole stripped from the banknote stack is received between two transparent elements, in particular between glass panes, in order to optically capture the information applied to the banderole on both sides through the two transparent elements.
- the banderole is ideally clamped by means of the two transparent elements.
- the image capture device comprises a drum or another type of rotatable mount for the banderole removed from the banknote stack.
- the drum receives the banderole removed from the stack of bills.
- the information applied to the band is detected in the manner described above.
- the banderole is then separated from the drum and preferably disposed of.
- Such a system can also be retrofitted to banknote processing devices already in operation.
- the separation of the banderole from the drum from the third drum position is preferably realized by means of compressed air.
- a compressed air connection is usually available.

- the blowing out, preferably with additional Help of gravity is to ensure in this way reliably and with low noise.
- the banderoles are photographed on both sides in order to be able to continue assigning the banknotes after debrapping, in the further course of banknote processing, to the banknotes entered.
- the entbanderol faced banknotes are isolated and checked in the banknote processing device, wherein measurement data and / or the serial number of each banknote are detected.
- the measurement data and / or the serial number of the banknote is then associated with the image of the band of the banknote packet to which the respective banknote belongs.
- the image of the swath may be subjected to image processing or OCR recognition to render the image of the swath or to extract information contained therein.
- the respective banknote can also be assigned the information extracted from the banderole image.
- a partial image may be selectable from the captured image of the band, which contains at least that section of the captured image which contains the first and second information applied to the band, which lie on different sides of the banknote stack in the banded banknote stack.
- the drawing file can be selected manually.
- the position and size of the selected partial image can be set by software at the banknote processing device.
- the selection of the partial image can also be done automatically.
- the position and size of the selected partial image may be preset for the respective banknote processing device so that the correct partial image is automatically selected after image acquisition. Select of the partial image has the advantage that the amount of data of the image data to be processed or stored can be kept small.
- banknotes In the examination of the banknotes usually banknotes are sorted out that do not meet certain predetermined criteria and / or can not be identified.
- the sorted banknotes of a particular banknote packet, together with the band associated with this packet are automatically transported into a rejection compartment of the banknote processing device.
- the sorted banknotes were then later subjected to a separate manual review.
- the assignment of the sorted banknotes to the correct input packet was carried out by the banderole physically present in the rejection compartment.
- the associated input packet can instead be determined simply on the basis of the band image associated with the respective measurement data and / or the respective serial number, and / or on the basis of the information extracted from the band image.
- Another advantage is that the sorted banknotes then - instead of the usual manual verification - can be subjected to another machine check by the banknote processing device. The renewed machine check reduces the number of banknotes sorted out, so that even less sorted banknotes must be subjected to a renewed manual check.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Bearbeiten von Banknoten, die in banderoliertem Zustand zur Verfügung gestellt werden.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for processing banknotes which are provided in a banded state.
Banknotenpäckchen, die einer Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine zugeführt werden, sind üblicherweise mit Banderolen umreift. Um die Banknoten in der Maschine bearbeiten zu können, werden zunächst die Banderolen entfernt. Die entbanderolierten Banknoten werden anschließend vereinzelt und in der Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschine geprüft. Dabei werden Messdaten und/ oder Seriennummern jeder einzelnen Banknote erfasst. Zuletzt werden die Banknoten in ein oder mehreren Ablagefächern zur weiteren Bearbeitung abgelegt.Banknote packets which are fed to a banknote processing machine are usually strapped with banderoles. To edit the banknotes in the machine, the bands are first removed. The entangled banknotes are then singulated and checked in the banknote processing machine. In this case, measurement data and / or serial numbers of each individual banknote are recorded. Finally, the banknotes are stored in one or more storage compartments for further processing.

Um die auf der Banderole enthaltene Information vollständig zu erfassen, muss die Banderole von beiden Seiten des Banknotenpäckchens photographiert werden. Das liegt daran, dass Informationen auf den Banderolen sowohl auf den Oberseiten der Banknotenpäckchen als auch auf den Unterseiten der Banknotenpäckchen vorhanden sein können. Eine Möglichkeit wäre, das Banknotenpäckchen bzw. die Banderole zwischen den beiden Aufnahmen umzudrehen und die beiden Seiten der Banderole nacheinander mittels zweier Photoaufnahmen zu photographieren. Dies ist jedoch technisch und zeitlich gesehen aufwendig, vor allem bei Banknotenbearbeitungsmaschinen mit großem Durchsatz an Banknotenpäckchen.In order to fully capture the information contained on the band, the band must be photographed from both sides of the banknote packet. This is because information can be present on the banderoles both on the tops of the banknote packets and on the undersides of the banknote packets. One possibility would be to turn the banknote packet or the banderole between the two recordings and to photograph the two sides of the banderole successively by means of two photographs. However, this is technically and time consuming, especially in banknote processing machines with large throughput of banknote packets.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, die auf den Banderolen von banderolierten Banknotenpäckchen vorgesehenen Informationen mit möglichst geringem technischen Aufwand und in kurzer Zeit vollständig zu erfassen. Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Bearbeiten von banderolierten Banknotenstapeln mit den Merkmalen der unabhängigen Ansprüche gelöst. In davon abhängigen Ansprüchen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung angegeben.The object of the present invention is therefore to completely capture the information provided on the banderoles of banded banknotes with the least possible technical effort and in a short time. This object is achieved by a banknote processing device and a method for processing banded banknotes with the features of the independent claims. In dependent claims advantageous developments and refinements of the invention are given.
Erfindungsgemäß werden die auf einer Banderole aufgebrachten Informationen nach wie vor mittels einer Bilderfassungseinrichtung erfasst, insbesondere also auf photographischem Wege oder alternativ mittels eines Scanners. Es wird allerdings nur ein Bild erstellt. Um dies zu gewährleisten und doch alle Informationen zu erfassen, sieht die Erfindung vor, unter Verwendung mindestens eines Spiegels Informationen von unterschiedlichen Abschnitten der Banderole gleichzeitig optisch zu erfassen, so dass alle Informationen auf einem Bild zusammengefasst sind. Es bedarf somit lediglich einer Bilderfassungseinrichtung, beispielsweise einer herkömmlichen digitalen Kamera, mittels der ein photographisches Abbild digital speicherbar ist. Die Bilderfassungseinrichtung kann stationär angeordnet werden.According to the invention, the information applied on a band is still detected by means of an image acquisition device, in particular thus by photographic means or alternatively by means of a scanner. However, only one image is created. In order to ensure this and yet to capture all the information, the invention provides, using at least one mirror, to simultaneously optically capture information from different sections of the band, so that all the information is combined in one image. Thus, it only requires an image capture device, such as a conventional digital camera, by means of a photographic image is digitally stored. The image capture device can be arranged stationary.
Auf diese Weise lassen sich unterschiedliche Informationen, die beim banderolierten Banknotenstapel auf verschiedenen Seiten, insbesondere auf der Ober- und Unterseite des Banknotenstapels liegen, in einfacher Weise und in kurzer Zeit erfassen. Die Bilderfassung kann dabei entweder vor dem Entfernen der Banderole von dem Banknotenstapel erfolgen, oder nach dem Entfernen von dem Banknotenstapel bevor die Banderole entsorgt wird.In this way, different information that lie in the banded banknote stack on different pages, in particular on the top and bottom of the banknote stack, can be detected in a simple manner and in a short time. The image capture can be done either before removing the band from the banknote stack, or after removing the banknote stack before the band is disposed of.
Die Bilderfassungseinrichtung weist vorzugsweise eine Kamera auf, die so angeordnet ist, dass mindestens ein Abschnitt der Banderole über einen Spiegel zu der Kamera reflektiert wird. Beispielsweise wird ein erster Abschnitt der Banderole, z.B. die Oberseite, nach Reflexion durch einen ersten Spiegel von der Kamera aufgenommen und ein zweiter Abschnitt der Banderole, z.B. die Unterseite, nach Reflexion durch einen zweiten Spiegel. Die Banderole wird dabei also gleichzeitig von zwei verschiedenen Seiten mit der Kamera aufgenommen. Dadurch können erste Informationen, die in einem ersten Abschnitt der Banderole enthalten sind, und zweite Informationen, die in einem zweiten Abschnitt der Banderole enthalten sind, gleichzeitig mit der Kamera erfasst werden. Die beiden Abschnitte können die Ober-und die Unterseite einer gefalteten Banderole sein.The image capture device preferably has a camera, which is arranged so that at least a portion of the band is reflected via a mirror to the camera. For example, a first portion of the band, eg the top, is received by the camera after reflection by a first mirror and a second portion of the band, eg the bottom, after reflection by a second mirror. The banderole is thus simultaneously recorded from two different sides with the camera. Thereby, first information contained in a first portion of the band and second information contained in a second portion of the band can be detected simultaneously with the camera. The two sections may be the top and the bottom of a folded banderole.
Alternativ können die beiden Abschnitte auch die beiden gegenüberliegenden Seiten einer (ungefalteten) Banderole sein, die auf ihren beiden gegenüberliegenden Seiten mit Informationen versehen ist. Zum Beispiel kann eine beidseitig bedruckte Banderole, nach dem Abziehen vom Banknotenpäckchen, so angeordnet werden, dass sie eine Ebene aufspannt (also ungefaltet) und die Informationen der beiden einander gegenüberliegenden Abschnitte dieser Banderole mit der Kamera gleichzeitig erfasst werden.Alternatively, the two sections may also be the two opposite sides of an (unfolded) banderole, which is provided with information on its two opposite sides. For example, a double-sided printed band, after removal from the banknote packet, can be arranged so that it spans a plane (ie unfolded) and the information of the two opposing sections of this band is detected simultaneously with the camera.
Prinzipiell kann die Erfindung mit einem einzigen Spiegel auskommen. Wird beispielsweise das Objektiv einer Kamera von einer Seite auf die Banderole gerichtet, so kann der mit dem Objektiv erreichbare Bilderfassungsbereich so weit über die Banderole hinaus eingestellt werden, dass ein seitlich hinter der Banderole angeordneter Spiegel im Erfassungsbereich liegt, über den die Rückseite der Banderole gleichzeitig miterfasst und aufgenommen wird. Allerdings liegen dabei die Aufnahmeebenen unterschiedlich weit entfernt vom Objektiv, so dass die erforderliche Aufnahmequalität unter Umständen nur mittels zusätzlicher technischer Mittel gewährleistet werden kann.In principle, the invention can manage with a single mirror. If, for example, the objective of a camera is directed from one side onto the band, then the image-capturing area achievable with the objective can be adjusted beyond the band so that a mirror arranged laterally behind the band lies in the detection area, over which the back of the band simultaneously is recorded and recorded. However, while the recording levels lie at different distances from the lens, so that the required recording quality can be guaranteed under certain circumstances only by additional technical means.
Technisch günstiger ist es daher, mindestens zwei Spiegel zu verwenden, so dass über jeden der beiden Spiegel ein anderer Abschnitt der Banderole optisch erfassbar ist. Auf diese Weise lassen sich ein erster Strahlengang zwischen einem ersten Abschnitt der Banderole und der Bilderfassungseinrichtung unter Verwendung des ersten Spiegels und ein zweiter Strahlengang zwischen einem zweiten Abschnitt der Banderole und derselben Bilderfassungseinrichtung unter Verwendung des zweiten Spiegels erzeugen. Die beiden Strahlengänge sind vorzugsweise symmetrisch, insbesondere spiegelsymmetrisch, zueinander, so dass die Aufnahmebedingungen für die beiden erfassten Banderolenabschnitte möglichst gleich sind. In diesem Falle liegen die Bilderfassungseinrichtung, insbesondere also die optische Achse des Aufnahmeobjektivs, und die Mittelebene der Banderole vorzugsweise in der Symmetrieebene, und die beiden Spiegel sind symmetrisch auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten zur Symmetrieebene so angeordnet, dass einander gegenüberliegende Abschnitte der Banderole gleichzeitig mittels der Bilderfassungseinrichtung erfassbar sind.It is therefore technically more favorable to use at least two mirrors, so that a different section of the band can be optically detected via each of the two mirrors. In this way, a first beam path between a first portion of the band and the image capture device using the first mirror and a second beam path between a second portion of the band and the same image capture device using the second mirror generate. The two beam paths are preferably symmetrical, in particular mirror-symmetrical, to one another, so that the recording conditions for the two detected band sections are as equal as possible. In this case, the image capture device, in particular the optical axis of the taking lens, and the center plane of the banderole are preferably in the plane of symmetry, and the two mirrors are arranged symmetrically on opposite sides to the plane of symmetry so that opposing portions of the banderole can be simultaneously detected by the image capture device are.
Selbstverständlich lassen sich auch beliebig andere Strahlengänge realisieren, insbesondere unter Verwendung zusätzlicher Spiegel. Dies kann vorwiegend aus Platzgründen zweckmäßig sein.Of course, any other beam paths can be realized, in particular using additional mirrors. This can be useful mainly for reasons of space.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung erfolgt die Bildaufnahme erst nach dem Entfernen der Banderole von dem Banknotenstapel. Dazu wird die Banderole mittels einer Schneideinrichtung einseitig durchtrennt und mittels einer Abstreifeinrichtung von dem Banknotenstapel entfernt, wie dies grundsätzlich aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist. Jedoch erfolgt das Entfernen der Banderole derart, dass zwei Abschnitte der Banderole übereinander zu liegen kommen. Idealerweise wird die Banderole dabei einmal gefaltet. Dies lässt sich beispielsweise dadurch realisieren, dass die Banderole mittels eines Hakens von dem Banknotenstapel abgezogen wird. Der Haken definiert dabei gleichzeitig die Faltlinie. Auf dem oberseitigen Abschnitt der so gefalteten Banderole liegt dann die auf der Oberseite des Banknotenpäckchens auf der Banderole angebrachte Information vor, während die auf der Unterseite des Banknotenpäckchens auf der Banderole angebrachte Information auf dem unterseitigen Abschnitt der gefalteten Banderole liegt. Durch Verwendung ein oder mehrerer Spiegel können beide Informationen in der vorbeschriebenen Weise gleichzeitig erfasst werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the image acquisition takes place only after the removal of the banderole from the banknote stack. For this purpose, the banderole is severed on one side by means of a cutting device and removed by means of a stripping device from the banknote stack, as is generally known from the prior art. However, the removal of the band takes place such that two sections of the band come to lie one above the other. Ideally, the banderole is folded once. This can be realized, for example, by pulling off the banderole from the banknote stack by means of a hook. The hook defines the fold line at the same time. On the top side of the folded band is then the on the top of the Banknote packet on the banderole attached information before, while on the underside of the banknote packet on the banderole attached information lies on the lower side portion of the folded banderole. By using one or more mirrors, both information can be acquired simultaneously in the manner described above.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Weiterbildung der Erfindung wird die von dem Banknotenstapel abgestreifte Banderole zwischen zwei transparenten Elementen, insbesondere zwischen Glasscheiben, aufgenommen, um dann durch die beiden transparenten Elemente hindurch die auf der Banderole auf beiden Seiten aufgebrachten Informationen optisch zu erfassen. Dabei wird die Banderole idealer Weise mittels der beiden transparenten Elemente festgeklemmt.According to a preferred development of the invention, the banderole stripped from the banknote stack is received between two transparent elements, in particular between glass panes, in order to optically capture the information applied to the banderole on both sides through the two transparent elements. The banderole is ideally clamped by means of the two transparent elements.
Gemäß einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst die Bilderfassungseinrichtung eine Trommel oder eine andersartige drehbare Aufnahme für die von dem Banknotenstapel entfernte Banderole. In einer ersten Trommelposition nimmt die Trommel die von dem Banknotenstapel entfernte Banderole entgegen. In einer zweiten Trommelposition werden die auf der Banderole aufgebrachten Informationen in der vorbeschriebenen Weise erfasst. In einer dritten Trommelposition wird die Banderole dann von der Trommel getrennt und vorzugsweise entsorgt. Ein solches System kann auch bei bereits im Betrieb befindlichen Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtungen nachgerüstet werden.According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the image capture device comprises a drum or another type of rotatable mount for the banderole removed from the banknote stack. In a first drum position, the drum receives the banderole removed from the stack of bills. In a second drum position, the information applied to the band is detected in the manner described above. In a third drum position, the banderole is then separated from the drum and preferably disposed of. Such a system can also be retrofitted to banknote processing devices already in operation.
Das Trennen der Banderole von der Trommel aus der dritten Trommelposition wird bevorzugt mittels Druckluft realisiert. Ein Druckluftanschluss steht in aller Regel zur Verfügung. Eine Blasdüse lässt sich leicht an einem gewünschten Ort anbringen. Das Herausblasen, vorzugsweise mit zusätzlicher Hilfe der Schwerkraft, ist auf diese Weise zuverlässig und mit geringem Geräuschaufwand sicherzustellen.The separation of the banderole from the drum from the third drum position is preferably realized by means of compressed air. A compressed air connection is usually available. A tuyere can be easily attached to a desired location. The blowing out, preferably with additional Help of gravity is to ensure in this way reliably and with low noise.
Die Banderolen werden beidseitig fotografiert, um die Banknoten nach dem Entbanderolieren, im weiteren Verlauf der Banknotenbearbeitung weiterhin dem eingegebenen Banknotenpäckchen zuordnen zu können. Die entbanderolierten Banknoten werden vereinzelt und in der Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtung geprüft, wobei Messdaten und/ oder die Seriennummer jeder einzelnen Banknote erfasst werden. Den Messdaten und/ oder der Seriennummer der Banknote wird anschließend das Bild der Banderole desjenigen Banknotenpäckchens zugeordnet, zu dem die jeweilige Banknote gehört. Optional kann das Bild der Banderole einer Bildverarbeitung oder einer OCR-Erkennung unterzogen werden, um das Bild der Banderole aufzubereiten oder um darin enthaltene Informationen zu extrahieren. Zusätzlich oder anstelle des Banderolenbildes kann der jeweiligen Banknote auch die aus dem Banderolenbild extrahierte Information zugeordnet werden.The banderoles are photographed on both sides in order to be able to continue assigning the banknotes after debrapping, in the further course of banknote processing, to the banknotes entered. The entbanderolierten banknotes are isolated and checked in the banknote processing device, wherein measurement data and / or the serial number of each banknote are detected. The measurement data and / or the serial number of the banknote is then associated with the image of the band of the banknote packet to which the respective banknote belongs. Optionally, the image of the swath may be subjected to image processing or OCR recognition to render the image of the swath or to extract information contained therein. In addition to or instead of the banderole image, the respective banknote can also be assigned the information extracted from the banderole image.
Ferner kann von dem erfassten Bild der Banderole ein Teilbild auswählbar sein, das zumindest denjenigen Ausschnitt des erfassten Bilds enthält, der die auf der Banderole aufgebrachten ersten und zweiten Informationen enthält, die beim banderolierten Banknotenstapel auf verschiedenen Seiten des Banknotenstapels liegen. Das Teilbild kann manuell auswählbar sein. Zum Beispiel kann vorgesehen sein, dass an der Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtung per Software die Lage und Größe des ausgewählten Teilbilds einstellbar ist. Die Auswahl des Teilbilds kann aber auch automatisch erfolgen. Zum Beispiel kann die Lage und Größe des ausgewählten Teilbilds für die jeweilige Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtung voreingestellt sein, so dass nach der Bilderfassung automatisch das richtige Teilbild ausgewählt wird. Das Auswählen des Teilbilds hat den Vorteil, dass die Datenmenge der weiterzuverarbeitenden bzw. abzuspeichernden Bilddaten gering gehalten werden kann.Furthermore, a partial image may be selectable from the captured image of the band, which contains at least that section of the captured image which contains the first and second information applied to the band, which lie on different sides of the banknote stack in the banded banknote stack. The drawing file can be selected manually. For example, it can be provided that the position and size of the selected partial image can be set by software at the banknote processing device. The selection of the partial image can also be done automatically. For example, the position and size of the selected partial image may be preset for the respective banknote processing device so that the correct partial image is automatically selected after image acquisition. Select of the partial image has the advantage that the amount of data of the image data to be processed or stored can be kept small.
Bei der Prüfung der Banknoten werden üblicherweise solche Banknoten aussortiert, die bestimmte vorgegebene Kriterien nicht erfüllen und/ oder die nicht identifiziert werden können. Bisher werden die aussortierten Banknoten eines bestimmten Banknotenpäckchens zusammen mit der zu diesem Päckchen zugehörigen Banderole automatisch in ein Zurückweisungsfach der Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtung transportiert. Die aussortierten Banknoten wurden dann später einer gesonderten manuellen Überprüfung unterzogen. Die Zuordnung der aussortierten Banknoten zu dem richtigen Eingangspäckchen erfolgte dabei durch die in dem Zurückweisungsfach physikalisch vorhandene Banderole.In the examination of the banknotes usually banknotes are sorted out that do not meet certain predetermined criteria and / or can not be identified. Heretofore, the sorted banknotes of a particular banknote packet, together with the band associated with this packet, are automatically transported into a rejection compartment of the banknote processing device. The sorted banknotes were then later subjected to a separate manual review. The assignment of the sorted banknotes to the correct input packet was carried out by the banderole physically present in the rejection compartment.
Durch das vollständige Fotografieren der Banderole und die Zuordnung des Bilds der Banderole zu den Messdaten und/oder zur Seriennummer der jeweiligen Banknote, ist es nicht mehr erforderlich, die Banderole zu den aussortierten Banknoten zu transportieren und physikalisch mit diesen abzulegen. Für die aussortierten Banknoten kann das zugehörige Eingangspäckchen stattdessen einfach anhand des Banderolenbilds ermittelt werden, das den jeweiligen Messdaten und/ oder der jeweiligen Seriennummer zugeordnet ist, und/oder anhand der aus dem Banderolenbild extrahierten Informationen. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass die aussortierten Banknoten dann - anstelle der bisher üblichen manuellen Überprüfung - einer erneuten maschinellen Überprüfung durch die Banknotenbearbeitungsvorrichtung unterzogen werden können. Durch die erneute maschinelle Überprüfung reduziert sich die Anzahl der aussortierten Banknoten, so dass auch weniger aussortierte Banknoten einer erneuten manuellen Überprüfung unterzogen werden müssen.By completely photographing the banderole and assigning the image of the banderole to the measurement data and / or the serial number of the respective banknote, it is no longer necessary to transport the banderole to the sorted banknotes and physically deposit them. For the sorted banknotes, the associated input packet can instead be determined simply on the basis of the band image associated with the respective measurement data and / or the respective serial number, and / or on the basis of the information extracted from the band image. Another advantage is that the sorted banknotes then - instead of the usual manual verification - can be subjected to another machine check by the banknote processing device. The renewed machine check reduces the number of banknotes sorted out, so that even less sorted banknotes must be subjected to a renewed manual check.
