  • the intended use of the measurement data can preferably include the adaptation of parameters of the device.
  • value documents are to be understood as sheet-shaped objects which, for example, represent a monetary value and should therefore not be able to be produced arbitrarily by unauthorized persons. They therefore have features which are not easy to manufacture, in particular to be copied, the presence of which is an indication of the authenticity, i.e. production by an authorized body.
  • Important examples of such documents of value are vouchers, checks and in particular banknotes.
  • Valuable document processing devices classify valuable documents, in particular banknotes, with regard to the value document type, with banknotes with respect to the currency and / or the value, and / or the authenticity and / or the quality and / or the orientation.
  • the orientation of a value document is understood below to mean one of the four possible positions in the case of a rectangular value document, which can be obtained by rotating the value document about its longitudinal and transverse axes by 180 ° in each case.
  • the quality of a value document is understood to mean, in particular, its condition;
  • the state of banknotes can be determined, for example, by assignment to classes such as "fit for circulation” and / or “not fit for work” and / or “damaged” or “damaged” in connection with the type of damage be given.

  • the control and evaluation device 48 reads this data from the external storage device 60 and stores it.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 acquires filter data which determine the suitability criterion used below.
  • the suitability criterion is a criterion for whether for a value document recorded measurement data are suitable for the specified purpose.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 controls the input / output device 46 in such a way that a menu is displayed there, which shows selectable sub-criteria of the suitability criterion and possible logical links, ie "and" - or "or” links between represents the selected sub-criteria. It then records possible entries by a user, with which the user defines the respective sub-criteria and their logical links.
  • control and evaluation device 48 in particular its computer program, is designed such that each of the sub-criteria can be checked if it is selected as a sub-criterion.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 stores corresponding filter data which determine which of the partial criteria should be checked and how logically linked to one another, so that measurement data are recognized as being suitable for the specified purpose.
  • Steps S14 to S24 are now carried out until all value documents for which measured values are to be recorded in accordance with the banknote data are isolated.
  • certain steps for a value document can be carried out at least partially in parallel to other steps for a next value document.
  • a further value document could already be separated in step S14 during the acquisition of measurement data for a single value document.
  • control and evaluation device 48 controls the input device 14, in particular the separator 22, and the transport device 18 in step S14 such that a value document of the value document stack is separated in the compartment 20 and transported to the sensor device 38 by means of the transport device 18.
  • step S16 the sensor device 38 then records measurement data for the value document.
  • the measurement data are transmitted to the control and evaluation device 48, which temporarily stores these data in the memory 54.
  • step S18 the control and evaluation device 48 checks whether the measurement data recorded for the value document meet the suitability criterion. To do this, it first checks the selected sub-criteria one after the other or at least partially in parallel and links the results according to the selected logical links. The result is the result of testing the eligibility criterion. The control and evaluation device 48 then forms a corresponding suitability signal which represents the result of the test and stores corresponding data. For example, were selected as subcriteria that the document of value should be available individually and that the document of value should be in a sufficiently good location, and that both subcriteria had to be met in order to meet the suitability criterion, i. H. if they have to be logically linked with "and", the control and evaluation device uses the measurement data to check whether the value document was present occasionally during the acquisition of the measurement data and whether its position was sufficiently good.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 discards the measurement data in step S22 by, in the present exemplary embodiment, the measurement data from the memory 54 deletes.
  • An identifier for the document of value for example the position in the row of the supplied document of value, and data which indicate that no measurement data for the specified purpose of use have been recorded for the document of value are preferably stored in a log file in the memory 56
  • control and evaluation device 48 permanently stores the measurement data for the value document in step S20.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 shifts the measurement data temporarily stored in the memory 54 from the memory 54 into the memory 56 and stores them there permanently, preferably together with the identifier mentioned above. The measurement data is then no longer found in the memory 54.
  • step S24 It is then checked in step S24 whether another value document is available for separation. If this is the case, the method continues with step S14, otherwise it is ended.
  • the memory 56 is a hard disk on which the measurement data remain permanently, even when the method has ended.
  • the stored data can be left in the memory 56 and / or stored in the external storage device 60 via the data interface 50.
  • FIG. 3 A second, in Fig. 3
  • the illustrated exemplary embodiment differs from the first exemplary embodiment solely in that step S12 is replaced by step S12 ', ie the filter data is acquired differently. All other steps are unchanged.
  • step S12 ' the control and evaluation device 48 now captures the filter data by reading the filter data from a corresponding file stored in the external storage device 60 by means of the data interface 50.
  • keywords are specified for the sub-criteria and it is specified how the logical links between sub-criteria are to be specified in the file.
  • the file then contains the keywords for the sub-criteria to be used as well as the logical combination of the data representing the sub-criteria.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 acquires the data, searches therein for the predetermined keywords and data for the logical combination and uses this when carrying out the further method analogously to the first exemplary embodiment; the partial tests corresponding to the key words are carried out, the results of which are linked in accordance with the specified logical links and the link result is used as the result of the checking of the suitability criterion.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 in particular its computer program, is designed in accordance with the specified selection options so that each of the sub-criteria can be checked if it is selected as a sub-criterion
  • a third, in Fig. 4 The illustrated embodiment differs from the second embodiment, inter alia, in that the intended use of the measurement data is different.
  • the purpose of the measurement data is to improve the adaptation of parameters for the recognition of serial numbers.
  • another sub-criterion is used that the value document has the characteristic that the serial number is legible. This means that a serial number can be recognized without the recognized serial number needing to be correctly recognized.
  • the measurement data of the optical reflectance sensor 40 are used for this.
  • step S12 "differs from step S12 'in that, in addition to the keywords of the second exemplary embodiment, a keyword is provided for the partial criterion that the value document has the feature that the serial number is readable.
  • the control and evaluation device 48 or the computer program is modified in such a way that it also checks the read filter data for the presence of the keyword for the legibility of the serial number and, when the keyword is found, carries out the procedure to be carried out below, in particular the check of the corresponding subcriterion, accordingly.
  • step S18 that, in the case of filter data which include the keyword for the legibility of the serial number, depending on the measurement data of the optical reflectance sensor 40, it is checked as a partial criterion whether the document of value has the feature that the serial number is legible
  • the result of checking this subcriterion is linked to the results of checking other selected subcriteria in accordance with the logical links contained in the filter data and is used as the result of checking the suitability criterion.
  • a network interface preferably a wired network interface, for example a gigabit Ethernet interface
  • the external storage device 60 is then provided by a memory connected by means of the network interface, for example a hard disk of a remote computer.
  • Still further exemplary embodiments can differ from the previous exemplary embodiments in that the memory 56 is dispensed with and storage processes, that is to say storage of measurement data determined as suitable and optionally also the log file, take place directly by means of the data interface 50 in the external storage device 60.
