Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method, an apparatus and a system for processing a transport container for valuables.
- sheet-shaped value documents such as Banknotes, checks, tickets, securities and / or money, credit cards, debit cards, prepaid cards, coins, and other items that represent at least personal value.
- a transport container is used in the present case for preferably secure transport of valuables.
- Various types are available for such transport containers.
- In the market are usually transport containers with rigid housing in which the valuables, for example, a bunch of banknotes are arranged, available.
- bag-shaped transport containers so-called safebags
- Safebags are all-round disposable containers made from a plastic film.
- the valuables are, for example, filled by a supplier or depositor into a bank or cash center, and the safebag is closed.
- the opening of such a transport container is currently performed manually usually at the receiving site.
- these bag-shaped transport containers are opened with a knife or scissors on all sides.
- the valuables contained in the transport container are removed manually and checked and sorted by a banknote processing machine for further processing, in particular for testing for authenticity, circulation capability and / or denomination. After emptying the transport container, it is archived for several weeks to prove complete emptying. As a rule, the workplace is monitored by a camera system due to the fact that the contents have been completely removed from the transport container and forwarded for further processing. It may happen that parts of the transport container are covered during manual processing, so that no proof of complete emptying is possible.
- the object of the invention is therefore to improve the current process of processing transport containers.
- it is an object of the invention to improve the control of the emptying of transport containers.
- the transport container is supplied. Subsequently, the transport container is opened. After opening the transport container, the transport container is emptied. In a subsequent step, it is checked whether a residual quantity, ie a residual content, is present in the transport container. For this purpose, a transmission image is created by the transport container, wherein the transport container is irradiated with electromagnetic radiation. In a further step, the transmission image is analyzed and analyzed for residual quantity. From the analysis, it is possible to deduce residual quantity in the transport container. With the present method, it is now possible to safely check the transport container for residual amount. From the transmission image can be safely and automatically determined whether there is still a residual amount in the transport container.
- a residual quantity ie a residual content
- the evaluation of the transmission image and the transmission image itself can be used as evidence for complete emptying of the transport container, ie that no residual amount is included. Due to the automated analysis and evaluation even a steadily increasing video surveillance is no longer necessary. Due to the visual digital proof, the transport container no longer needs to be opened at least three-sided. Only the provision of an opening for removal of the contents would be sufficient. Thus, additional work steps can be saved.
- the irradiation of the transport container with electromagnetic radiation and the associated receipt of a transmission image use the advantages of a fluoroscopy of the transport container.
- the focus can be placed on different materials and / or areas to be investigated.
- heat is applied to the transport container in a preferred embodiment and a picture of the transport container is recorded in the infrared spectrum.
- the transport container is located between the radiation source and a sensor for receiving the image. Due to different thermal conductivity and heat capacity of the transport container and its contents, the transport container can be examined.
- an illumination of the transport container is possible in the preferred arrangement.
- value documents give together with the material of the transport container other heat radiation than the transport container in an area without value document.
- due to the surface and material nature of the contents of the transport container can be closed on the content itself.
- the transport container is irradiated with X-rays.
- the thus generated X-ray image clearly indicates its content due to density difference of the content in the transport container.
- a corresponding analysis of the transmission image clearly leads to a more accurate statement regarding the remaining amount of the transport container.
- terahertz radiation could be impinged or irradiated in the transport container.
- a tuned sensor picks up the transmitting terahertz radiation through the transport container. From the recorded values, a transmission image can be generated. Due to the property that materials are differently permeable to terahertz radiation and, for example, metals are impermeable to terahertz radiation, certain objects in the transport container can be detected. For example, coins could also be recognized as metal-coated articles, such as a mark on banknotes and / or a security strip.
- each of the abovementioned spectra for transmission imaging could be used alone and thus for testing the transport container for residual quantity.
- a combination of at least two of the spectra is used and two transmission images are generated.
- the transport container itself is transparent or approximately transparent to the spectrum used.
- no filter and / or contrast calculation is necessary to analyze the contents of the transport container with respect to its presentation.
- the objects located inside the transport container can easily be made visible. An evaluation of whether and, if appropriate, which residual content or which residual quantity is present in the transport container is facilitated. The analysis by a machine or by a person is thus easier to carry out.
- the transport container is considered to be empty.
- the result is intended to indicate that all the valuables transported in accordance with the intended purpose with regard to the transport container and / or the valuables secured by the transport container, for example banknotes, are completely removed from the transport container. It is preferably irrelevant whether additional objects still remain in the transport container and this is visible on the transmission image. When valuing on remaining quantity, other items that are not considered valuables would not be determined as a residual quantity.

- the transport container is reused, in particular recycled.
- the transport container can then be assigned a new identity or the identity of the transport container and / or the transport container itself retained for a defined time until the transport container comes back into circulation.
- transport container hard shell, especially hard plastic and / or metal so-called cash boxes, reuse is advantageous.
- the shipping container is disposed of directly for disposal and / or reuse, i. forwarded without intermediate manual processing, for example to a security container, which is not manually engageable at least until removal at the disposal facility and / or reuse facility.
- a transport container which is considered to be emptied, forwarded directly to disposal, particularly preferably, destroyed immediately.
- the transport container is considered not to be emptied. A further processing of the transport container, such as its disposal should preferably be avoided. The transport container is then considered a reject. Preferably, the transport container is again at least emptied and tested for residual amount. In this case, the transport container in the procedure, such as already explained. In one embodiment, a manual inspection and possibly manual emptying of the transport container, followed by a renewed examination of the transport container for residual amount by means of transmission image, as listed above, conceivable.

Furthermore, the amount is noted in a database to the transport container 10.
- further data for example fitness level, serial number and / or statistical distribution of the detected banknotes 33 for the database entry of the transport container 10 or its identification can be stored.
- the operator hands over the opened transport container 10 to a device for checking for emptying 40.
- the device for checking for emptying 40 preferably has an intake, for example a pair of rollers.
- the device for checking for emptying 40 acts on the transport container 10 with electromagnetic radiation, for example infrared radiation and / or X-radiation and created a transmission image.
- the transmission image is sent via a data connection to the database entry of the transport container 10 and stored.
- An image processing unit recognizes from the transmission image, whether the transport container 10 is actually empty, has a residual amount or is considered to be empty. Preferably, it is recognized whether in the transport container 10 even more valuables, such as banknotes, coins, tickets and / or securities are included.
- the device for checking for emptying 40 gives an indication and returns the transport container 10 to the workstation or the operator. That is, the transport container 10 is not released and is considered a reject.
- the device for checking for emptying 40 outputs the transport container 10 again.
- the operator thus has the task of optionally further opening and emptying the transport container 10 and, in particular, forwarding the emptied monetary content, for example to the banknote processing device 100. The operator then transfers the transport container 10 again to the device for checking for emptying 40 ,
- the device for checking for emptying 40 transfers the transport container 10 to a secured container 120 for disposal.
- the secured container 120 serves as a receiving device for collecting used transport container 10, so that they are disposed of.
- FIG. 5 shows an illustration of a possible transmission image 200.
- the transmission image 200 shows a pocket-shaped transport container 10, for example, a Safebag.
- the transport container 10 has an identification element 11 on its outer wall.
- the identification element 11 serves to identify the transport container 10 by a person and / or by means of a reading device.
- the identification element 11 can be provided as a label or as a printed field.
- the identification element 11 can be machine-made and / or have a manual inscription.
- the identification element 11 may be data relating to the transport container 10, in particular a unique identity and content information, such.
- the transport container 10 Due to its bag-shaped nature and optionally the filling, the transport container 10 has kinks 210 on its wall during the recording of the transmission image 200. These kinks 210 can be seen as material compaction in the transmission image 200. Furthermore, in the transmission image 200, a fold 220 of the transport container 10 in the form of a dog's ear can be seen. Also, this fold 220 is shown in the form of a dog's ear as material compression.
