Definitions
- the invention relates to an ATM with a dispensing compartment for dispensing notes of value, with a closure element which closes the dispensing compartment in a closed state, and with a dispensing area which is delimited by a first and at least a second limiting element and in the closed state by the closure element.
- a cash trapping element which in particular is visually similar to the closure element, is arranged in the output area in such a way that an operator cannot remove banknotes from the output compartment even when the closure element is open.
- the cash trapping element often gives an operator the impression of a closed locking element.
- Solutions are known from the prior art in which camera units monitor the ATM. From the document DE 10 2011 010 737 A1 For example, it is known to take an image of the ATM using a camera at predetermined time intervals and/or after movement of objects in the area in front of the machine and to use this with a Compare target image. The image comparison can be used to determine whether objects have been attached to the ATM without permission.
- An ATM is known with a dispensing compartment and with at least one sensor which is arranged in such a way that it detects the presence of an object within a predetermined distance from the dispensing compartment.
- the sensor includes a transmitter and a receiver. The signal emitted by the transmitter is reflected on a cash trapping element and received by the receiver. Repeated measurements over a predetermined period of time determine whether the detected object is moving. The document thus reveals the preamble to the main claim.
- a banknote machine which includes at least one non-contact sensor which detects manipulation devices mounted in front of the issuing area.
- a control unit is designed to distinguish between stationary and moving objects.
- the arrangement includes infrared sensors in the shutter area and optical sensors for detecting objects within the output area. Dependent on The times at which the sensors send signals to a control unit determines whether it is a normal payout process or whether a cash capture device has been inserted into the ATM.
- a cash dispensing machine in which at least one non-contact sensor is provided in front of the cash dispensing opening for detecting manipulation devices attached in front of the cash dispensing opening.
- the ATM according to claim 1 comprises an arrangement for monitoring the dispensing area with at least one sensor unit, the sensor unit being arranged and designed in such a way that it detects an element arranged in the dispensing area. This ensures that an object arranged in the output area is recognized in a simple and reliable manner.
- the output compartment and the output area are separated from one another by the closure element when the closure element is closed.
- the dispensing area is formed in particular by a recess in the front of the ATM.
- an element arranged in front of the closure element in the output area is reliably detected by the sensor unit.
- the closure element can be flush with a front panel of the ATM or protrude outwards from this front panel, so that the dispensing area does not have to be formed by a recess in the front of the ATM.
- a dispensing area in front of the front panel of the ATM is then monitored in order to detect an element arranged in the dispensing area.
- the sensor unit generates a detection signal from the time the element is detected and outputs it to a control unit of the ATM. This enables rapid, reliable detection of the element by the ATM.
- the control unit determines a manipulation state of the ATM if the duration of the output of the detection signal exceeds a preset limit value and if the control unit controls the ATM in an error operating mode once the manipulation state has been determined. This ensures that the error operating mode is not triggered by a body which is permitted for a short period of time the output area is introduced. Such a body is, for example, a user's hand, which is inserted into the issuing area to remove notes of value.
- the sensor unit comprises a light barrier with a transmitter and a receiver. This results in a simple and compact design of the sensor unit.
- the transmitter is arranged in or behind the first limiting element and if the receiver is arranged in or behind the second limiting element, with the transmitter and the receiver being arranged opposite one another.
- an element present between the first and second limiting elements interrupts a light beam emitted by the transmitter, with the receiver detecting the interruption.
- further sensor units can be used, such as sensors for reflex detection, in particular Detect transit time and/or phase shift of emitted electromagnetic radiation, with transmitter and receiver preferably being arranged directly next to each other or at a short distance in the range of 1 to 10 mm.
- other sensors additionally or alternatively, such as ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, laser scanning sensors.
- the transmitter and the receiver are arranged in or behind the first limiting element or the second limiting element, with the transmitter and the receiver being arranged next to one another.
- a reflector element opposite the transmitter reflects a light beam emitted by the transmitter in such a way that the receiver receives at least part of the light beam, the sensor unit detecting the presence of the element when the angle of incidence and / or the amount of light or the phase position or the time differences on the Receiver of incident light beam changed. This enables simple and secure monitoring of the output area.
- the light beam is a pulsed light beam. This makes it easy to distinguish the light beam from disturbing ambient light, so that particularly reliable monitoring of the output area is possible. Furthermore, the amount of light that may reach an operator's eye looking into the light is reduced.
- the sensor unit comprises an ultrasonic sensor unit for sending and receiving ultrasonic waves.
- the ultrasonic sensor unit is arranged in or behind the first boundary wall, with the ultrasonic sensor unit emitting ultrasonic waves that are reflected on a body on which the ultrasonic waves impinge.
- the ultrasonic sensor unit receives the transmitted ultrasonic waves again after a time interval that depends on the distance between the ultrasonic sensor unit and the body on which the ultrasonic waves are reflected.
- the ultrasonic sensor unit detects the element when the time interval between the transmission of the ultrasonic waves and the reception of the reflected ultrasonic waves is less than or equal to a preset limit. This achieves particularly reliable detection of the element, which in particular cannot be influenced by the material of the element and/or the ambient brightness.
- the sensor unit comprises a transmitter for outputting a laser beam and a receiver for receiving the laser beam.
- the transmitter and the receiver are arranged in or behind the first limiting element or the second limiting element, with the transmitter and the receiver being arranged next to one another.
- the laser beam is reflected on a reflector element that is arranged opposite the transmitter.
- the laser beam emitted by the transmitter is received by the receiver within a time interval that depends on the distance between the sensor unit and the reflector element.
- the sensor unit detects the element when the time interval between the transmission of the laser beam and the reception of the laser beam deviates from the time interval that corresponds to a reflection of the laser beam on the reflector element. This achieves, in particular, precise detection of the element in the recording area. Furthermore, assembly with reduced cabling effort is made possible because the transmitter and receiver are arranged next to each other.
- the reflector element is arranged on the first limiting element or the second limiting element or if the reflector element is integrated into the first or second limiting element or if the first limiting element or the second limiting element forms the reflector element. This ensures reliable monitoring of the output area.
- the reflector element is arranged on the closure element or if the closure element forms the reflector element. This achieves reliable detection of the element in the output area.
- the sensor unit is designed in such a way that when the closure element is in the open state, it does not detect whether it is in the output area an element is arranged. This prevents the detection signal from being output every time the closure element is opened.
- the sensor unit is a first sensor unit. At least one second sensor unit is provided, wherein the control unit controls the ATM in an error operating mode when the first sensor unit outputs a first detection signal and the second sensor unit outputs a second detection signal and when the duration of the output of the first detection signal and the second detection signal exceeds a preset limit value . This prevents an element accidentally placed in the dispensing area, which triggers the detection signal of a sensor unit, from leading to an error operating mode of the ATM.
- the transmitter and the receiver are arranged next to one another in or behind the first limiting element, in particular at a distance from the closure element of 0 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 10 mm, in particular 5 mm.
- the transmitter is arranged in or behind the first limiting element at a distance from the closure element of 0 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 10 mm, in particular 5 mm.
- the receiver is opposite the transmitter in or behind the second boundary element at a distance from outside of 0 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 10 mm, in particular from 5 mm.
- Figure 1 shows a schematic representation of an ATM 100 with a head module 150 and a safe module 160.
- an in Figure 1 Invisible note handling unit arranged for issuing notes of value to be paid out to an operator.
- Several cash cassettes (not shown) can be accommodated in the safe module 160.
- operating information can be output to the operator via a display unit 152 in the head module 150.
- the head module 150 includes an output area 12, which is defined by four boundary walls 16, 18, 20 and 22 and in the in Figure 1 shown closed state is limited by a closure element 14, also called shutter.
- the distance L between the boundary walls 16 and 20 has a value in particular in the range of 18 cm to 25 cm.
- the distance H between the boundary walls 22 and 18 in particular has a value in the range of 8 cm to 25 cm.
- the shutter 14 is shown in a closed state.
- FIG. 1 Behind the closed shutter 14 there is an in Figure 1 invisible output compartment arranged in which a banknote or a stack of banknotes is made available for removal by the operator. After the banknote or the stack of banknotes has been made available in the output compartment Shutter 14 with the help of a drive unit, not shown, from the in Fig. 1 Move from the closed position shown to an open position in which the operator has access to the output compartment and the notes of value located therein through the output area 12. When the shutter 14 is closed, the output compartment is arranged on one side and the output area 12 on the other side of the shutter 14.
- Figure 2 shows an arrangement 110 for monitoring the dispensing area 12 of the ATM 100 according to a first embodiment.
- the lower boundary wall 22 includes an area 24 that is permeable to light, in particular to visible or invisible light.
- the entire boundary wall 22 can be made of a light-permeable material.
- all boundary walls 16, 18, 20, 22 can be made of a translucent material.
- a sensor unit 112, which is designed as a reflection light barrier, is arranged in or behind the boundary wall 22.
- the sensor unit 112 includes a transmitter 114 and a receiver 116, which are arranged next to each other.
- a reflection light barrier can additionally or alternatively be provided, the emitted light of which is not reflected to the receiver of the light barrier without an element arranged in the output area, but only when an element is arranged in the output area. The element is therefore detected using the transmitted light principle.
- a light beam 118 emitted by the transmitter 114 is reflected back to the receiver 116 at a reflector 120, which is integrated in the boundary wall 18 opposite the boundary wall 22.
- the reflector 120 has a reflectance, i.e. a ratio between reflected and incident radiation, of at least 50%.
- a retroreflective film is used in particular as the reflector 120. Retroreflective films can have a reflective base in which small glass balls with a size of approx. 50 ⁇ m are embedded. To cover or camouflage, these are covered in particular with a colored film.
- the boundary wall 18 is designed or coated in such a way that it has sufficient reflection properties to reflect the light beam 118 so that it reaches the receiver 116 without a special reflector.
- the sensor unit 112 is in particular arranged at a distance D1 from the shutter 14 of 0 mm to 5 mm, preferably of 3 mm to 10 mm, in particular of 5 mm.
- the sensor unit 112 is further arranged and aligned such that the reflection point A1 is in particular a distance D2 from the outside from 0 mm to 50 mm, preferably from 5 mm to 10 mm, in particular from 5 mm.
- Placing an element in the output area 12 between the sensor unit 112 and the reflector 120 causes an interruption of the light beam 118, which is detected by the receiver 116.
- the sensor unit 112 generates a detection signal from the time the interruption is detected and transmits the detection signal to a control unit of the ATM 100.
- the light beam 118 is only interrupted for short periods of time in the range of 1 to 10 seconds, for example Removal of notes of value from the issuing area by the operator.
- the light beam 118 can also be interrupted if criminal third parties manipulate the issuing area 12, for example in the course of so-called cash trapping measures.
- a cash trapping element is arranged in the output area 12.
- This cash trapping element is in particular optically similar to the shutter 14 and covers the shutter 14 in such a way that an operator cannot remove notes of value from the output compartment even when the shutter 14 is open.
- the cash trapping element often gives an operator the impression of a closed shutter 14.
- Figure 9 shows the ATM 100 in a state in which a cash trapping element E is arranged in the output area 12 and covers the shutter 14.
- Known cash trapping elements E include means that prevent the shutter 14 opened behind the cash trapping element E from closing.
- the cash trapping elements include means to which one or more notes of value provided in the output compartment adhere. If the ATM 100 is controlled by the operator to issue notes of value, the shutter 14 opens, but the cash trapping element E prevents access to the output compartment. As soon as the operator leaves the ATM 100, the criminal third parties remove the cash trapping element E from the issuing area 12 and thus gain access to the notes of value.
- the light beam 118 of the sensor unit 112 is interrupted over a longer period of time, in the minute or hour range.
- the period of time during which the detection signal is transmitted to the control unit, i.e. during which the light beam 118 is interrupted, is therefore an indicator of a manipulation state of the ATM 100.
- the manipulation state becomes
- a preset limit for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
- Figure 3 shows a schematic representation of a sensor unit 122, which is an alternative or in addition to the sensor unit 112 can be arranged in the output area 12.
- the sensor unit 122 is also designed as a reflection light barrier and differs from the sensor unit 112 in that the light beam 128 is not deflected on a reflector film, but on a prism arrangement 140 designed as a reflector element.
- the transmitter 124 and the receiver 126 are arranged in or behind the lower boundary wall 22 and the prism arrangement 140 in or behind the opposite boundary wall 18.
- the prism arrangement 140 deflects the light beam 128 emitted by the transmitter 124 so that at least part of the light beam 128 is received by the optical receiver 126. If there is a body between the sensor unit 122 and the prism arrangement 140, the light beam 128 is interrupted.
- Figure 4 shows an arrangement 210 for monitoring a dispensing area 12 of an ATM 200 according to a second embodiment. Elements with the same structure and the same function have the same reference numbers.
- Two sensor units 212, 222 which are designed as one-way light barriers, are arranged in or behind the boundary wall 22.
- the sensor units 212, 222 each include a transmitter 214, 224 integrated in or behind the lower boundary wall 22 and a receiver 216, 226 arranged opposite the transmitter 214, 224 and arranged in or behind the boundary wall 18.
- the transmitters 214, 224 each send one Light beam 218, 228, which is detected by the receiver 216, 226.
- the sensor units 212, 222 each generate a detection signal as soon as an interruption in the respective light beam 218, 228 is detected.
- the manipulation state is determined depending on the duration of the detection signal, whereby in the second exemplary embodiment the manipulation state is determined when the duration of the transmission of both detection signals exceeds the preset limit value, for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes, exceeds. This in particular prevents an object accidentally placed by the operator on the boundary wall 22, which only interrupts one of the two light beams 118, 218, from triggering a detection of the manipulation status of the ATM 200.
- Figure 5 shows an arrangement 310 for monitoring a dispensing area 12 of an ATM 300 according to a third embodiment.
- the arrangement 310 includes a gloss sensor unit 312 with a transmitter 314 for sending a light beam 318 and a receiver 316 for receiving the light beam 318.
- a gloss sensor unit from the Glare product family from the manufacturer SICK, for example, can be used as the gloss sensor unit 312.
- the gloss sensor unit 312 is arranged in or behind the boundary wall 18 such that the gloss sensor unit 312 is at a distance from the shutter 14, which in particular has a value in the range of 4 cm to 8 cm, preferably 5 cm.
- the light beam 318 emitted by the transmitter 314 is reflected on the shutter 14.
- a reflection point B1 is also given here.
- the gloss sensor unit 312 is designed to detect the gloss of the surface on which the light beam 318 is reflected.
- An element for manipulating the output area 12, in particular a cash trapping element E is usually a plastic element that is modeled on the closure element 14 but does not have the same reflection properties. If the light beam 318, 326 is not reflected on the shutter 14, but on a cash trapping element E arranged in front of the shutter 14, the gloss sensor unit 312 detects a change in the gloss properties and outputs a detection signal to the control unit from the time of detection.
- the control unit detects the manipulation status of the ATM 300 when the duration of the transmission of the detection signal to the control unit exceeds the preset limit, for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
- FIG. 6 shows an arrangement 410 for monitoring a dispensing area 12 of an ATM 400 according to a fourth embodiment.
- the arrangement 410 for monitoring the output area 12 comprises a sensor unit 412 with a transmitter 414 arranged in or behind the boundary wall 18 and with a photo receiver 416.
- the transmitter 414 emits a continuous or pulsed laser beam or alternatively or additionally IR beams/radar waves 418, which hits the shutter 14 at an impact point C1.
- the position of the point of impact C1 is determined by the photoreceiver 416 arranged next to the transmitter 414, in particular with the help of a spatially resolving photodiode or with the help of a CCD line or alternatively or additionally with the help of an IR diode or a radar sensor.
- the point of impact C1 ⁇ is not on the shutter 14, but on the cash trapping element E, so that the angle of incidence at which the point of impact C1, C1 ⁇ is observed by the photo receiver 416 changes. From the time the changed angle of incidence is detected, the sensor unit 412 outputs a detection signal.
- the control unit determines the manipulation status of the ATM 400 when the duration of the transmission of the detection signal to the control unit exceeds the preset limit, for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
- a measurement of the distance between a sensor unit, which is designed to output a laser beam, an IR beam or radar waves, and a predetermined target point, in particular on the shutter 14, can take place.
- the distance can be measured using a transit time measurement or a phase position measurement.
- the transmitter sends out a light pulse.
- the time it takes for the light pulse to travel from the transmitter to a reflecting body, in particular a retroreflector arranged on the shutter 14, and back to the transmitter is generally referred to as the pulse transit time.
- the distance between the transmitter and the reflector is determined using the pulse transit time and the speed of light.
- a phase shift of the reflected laser beam compared to the emitted laser beam is determined.
- the distance traveled is determined using the phase shift. If an element, in particular a cash trapping element E, is arranged between the sensor unit and the shutter 14, the pulse transit time or the phase shift changes, the change being detected by the sensor unit, which outputs a detection signal from the time of detection. Even when using radar sensors, ultrasonic sensors, light barriers, etc., a phase shift and/or a pulse transit time can be determined.

- a button level T1 limits the maximum range of the sensor unit 512
- the button level T2 limits the maximum range of the sensor unit 520.
- an object O is arranged between the touch plane T1 and the sensor unit 512.
- the light beam 518 is reflected on the object O and received by the receiver 516, which outputs a detection signal to the control unit.
- the light beam 528 of the sensor unit 520 is not reflected between the touch plane T2 of the sensor unit 520, so that the sensor unit 520 does not output a detection signal to the control unit.
- the control unit determines the manipulation state of the ATM 500 in particular when both sensor units 512, 520 output a detection signal and when the duration of the transmission of the two detection signals to the control unit exceeds the preset limit value, for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
- Figure 8 shows an embodiment in which the arrangement 610 for monitoring the output area 12 includes an ultrasonic sensor unit 612 for sending and receiving ultrasonic waves 618.
- the ultrasonic sensor unit 612 is arranged in or behind the boundary wall 16 and emits ultrasonic waves 618.
- the ultrasonic sensor unit 612 is arranged such that the ultrasonic waves 618 propagate within the output area 12 and are reflected on the boundary wall 20.
- the transmitted ultrasonic waves 618 are received again by the ultrasonic sensor unit 612 after a time interval that depends on the distance between the ultrasonic sensor unit 612 and an element on which the ultrasonic waves 618 are reflected.
- the ultrasonic waves 618 are received after the time interval corresponding to the reflection on the boundary wall 20.
- Arranging the cash trapping element E in the output area 12 results in the ultrasonic waves 618 at least are partially reflected by the cash trapping element E after a time interval that is less than the time interval during the reflection of the ultrasonic waves 618 on the boundary wall 20.
- This temporal deviation or additionally or alternatively a quantitative deviation of the amplitude of the reflection signal is determined by the ultrasonic sensor unit 612 is detected, which outputs a detection signal to the control unit from the time of detection.
- the control unit determines the manipulation status of the ATM 600 when the duration of the transmission of the detection signal to the control unit exceeds the preset limit, for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
- the ultrasonic sensor unit 612 is integrated into the shutter 14.
- the ultrasonic waves are only reflected in particular when the operator operates the ATM.
- Arranging a cash trapping element E in the output area 12 results in the ultrasonic waves 618 reflected by the cash trapping element being detected again after a time interval that is less than the time interval at which the ultrasonic waves 618 are reflected corresponds to the operator.
- This time deviation is detected by the ultrasonic sensor unit 612, which outputs a detection signal to the control unit from the time of detection.
- the control unit determines the manipulation status of the ATM 600 if the duration of transmission of the detection signal to the control unit exceeds the preset limit, for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
- Figure 9 shows an example of the ATM 100 in a state in which the cash trapping element E is arranged in the output area 12 and covers the shutter 14.
- FIG 10 shows a schematic cross section of the ATM 700 with a further embodiment of the cash trapping element E1.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Geldautomaten mit einem Ausgabefach zur Ausgabe von Wertscheinen, mit einem Verschlusselement, das in einem geschlossenen Zustand das Ausgabefach verschließt, und mit einem Ausgabebereich, der durch ein erstes und mindestens ein zweites Begrenzungselement und im geschlossenen Zustand durch das Verschlusselement begrenzt ist.The invention relates to an ATM with a dispensing compartment for dispensing notes of value, with a closure element which closes the dispensing compartment in a closed state, and with a dispensing area which is delimited by a first and at least a second limiting element and in the closed state by the closure element.
Der Ausgabebereich von Geldautomaten kann von kriminellen Dritten im Zuge sogenannter Cash-Trapping-Maßnahmen manipuliert werden. Dabei wird ein Cash-Trapping-Element, das insbesondere dem Verschlusselement optisch ähnlich nachgebildet ist, derart im Ausgabebereich angeordnet, dass eine Bedienperson Geldscheine auch bei geöffnetem Verschlusselement nicht aus dem Ausgabefach entnehmen kann. Das Cash-Trapping-Element erweckt bei einer Bedienperson oft den Eindruck eines geschlossenen Verschlusselements.The dispensing area of ATMs can be manipulated by criminal third parties as part of so-called cash trapping measures. A cash trapping element, which in particular is visually similar to the closure element, is arranged in the output area in such a way that an operator cannot remove banknotes from the output compartment even when the closure element is open. The cash trapping element often gives an operator the impression of a closed locking element.
Aus dem Stand der Technik sind Lösungen bekannt, bei denen Kameraeinheiten den Geldautomaten überwachen. Aus dem Dokument
Nachteilig an diesen Lösungen ist, dass das Ausstatten der Geldautomaten mit Kameraeinheiten mit hohen Kosten verbunden ist und der Bildvergleich mit Hilfe komplexer Bildverarbeitungsverfahren durchgeführt werden muss.The disadvantage of these solutions is that equipping ATMs with camera units is associated with high costs and the image comparison must be carried out using complex image processing methods.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Geldautomaten mit einer Anordnung zum Überwachen des Ausgabereichs anzugeben, die auf einfache und zuverlässige Weise Gegenstände erkennt, die unerlaubterweise in dem Ausgabebereich angebracht werden.It is the object of the invention to provide an ATM with an arrangement for monitoring the dispensing area, which easily and reliably detects objects that are illegally placed in the dispensing area.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Geldautomaten mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen angegeben.This task is solved with an ATM with the features of the claim with the features of
Der Geldautomat nach Anspruch 1 umfasst eine Anordnung zum Überwachen des Ausgabebereichs mit mindestens einer Sensoreinheit, wobei die Sensoreinheit derart angeordnet und ausgebildet ist, dass sie ein im Ausgabebereich angeordnetes Element detektiert. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass auf einfache und zuverlässige Weise ein in dem Ausgabebereich angeordneter Gegenstand erkannt wird.The ATM according to
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn das Ausgabefach und der Ausgabebereich im geschlossenen Zustand des Verschlusselements durch das Verschlusselement voneinander getrennt sind. Der Ausgabebereich ist insbesondere durch eine Vertiefung in der Front des Geldautomaten gebildet. Dadurch wird ein vor dem Verschlusselement, im Ausgabereich angeordnetes Element von der Sensoreinheit sicher detektiert. Alternativ kann das Verschlusselement im geschlossenen Zustand bündig mit einer Frontblende des Geldautomaten abschließen oder aus dieser Frontblende nach außen hervorstehen, so dass der Ausgabebereich nicht durch eine Vertiefung in der Front des Geldautomaten gebildet sein muss. Mit Hilfe der Sensoren wird dann ein Ausgabebereich vor der Frontblende des Geldautomaten überwacht, um ein im Ausgabebereich angeordnetes Element zu detektieren.It is advantageous if the output compartment and the output area are separated from one another by the closure element when the closure element is closed. The dispensing area is formed in particular by a recess in the front of the ATM. As a result, an element arranged in front of the closure element in the output area is reliably detected by the sensor unit. Alternatively, when closed, the closure element can be flush with a front panel of the ATM or protrude outwards from this front panel, so that the dispensing area does not have to be formed by a recess in the front of the ATM. With the help of the sensors, a dispensing area in front of the front panel of the ATM is then monitored in order to detect an element arranged in the dispensing area.
Die Sensoreinheit erzeugt ab dem Zeitpunkt der Detektion des Elements ein Detektionssignal und gibt es an eine Steuereinheit des Geldautomaten aus Dadurch wird eine rasche, zuverlässige Detektion des Elements durch den Geldautomaten ermöglicht.The sensor unit generates a detection signal from the time the element is detected and outputs it to a control unit of the ATM. This enables rapid, reliable detection of the element by the ATM.
Die Steuereinheit ermittelt einen Manipulationszustand des Geldautomaten, wenn die Zeitdauer der Ausgabe des Detektionssignals einen voreingestellten Grenzwert übersteigt und wenn die Steuereinheit ab Ermittlung des Manipulationszustandes den Geldautomaten in einem Fehlerbetriebsmodus ansteuert. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Fehlerbetriebsmodus nicht von einem Körper ausgelöst wird, der erlaubterweise für einen kurzen Zeitraum in den Ausgabebereich eingeführt wird. Ein solcher Körper ist beispielsweise die Hand eines Benutzers, die zum Entnehmen von Wertscheinen in den Ausgabebereich eingeführt wird.The control unit determines a manipulation state of the ATM if the duration of the output of the detection signal exceeds a preset limit value and if the control unit controls the ATM in an error operating mode once the manipulation state has been determined. This ensures that the error operating mode is not triggered by a body which is permitted for a short period of time the output area is introduced. Such a body is, for example, a user's hand, which is inserted into the issuing area to remove notes of value.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist in dem Fehlerbetriebsmodus eine Ansteuerung des Geldautomaten durch eine Bedienperson zur Ausgabe von Wertscheinen aus dem Ausgabefach nicht möglich. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass während des Manipulationszustandes des Geldautomaten Diebstähle mit Hilfe von Cash-Trapping-Elementen durchgeführt werden können.In an advantageous embodiment, in the error operating mode, it is not possible for an operator to control the ATM to issue notes of value from the output compartment. This prevents thefts from being carried out using cash trapping elements while the ATM is being manipulated.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Sensoreinheit eine Lichtschranke mit einem Sender und mit einem Empfänger umfasst. Dadurch wird ein einfacher und kompakter Aufbau der Sensoreinheit erreicht.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the sensor unit comprises a light barrier with a transmitter and a receiver. This results in a simple and compact design of the sensor unit.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Sender in oder hinter dem ersten Begrenzungselement und wenn der Empfänger in oder hinter dem zweiten Begrenzungselement angeordnet ist, wobei der Sender und der Empfänger gegenüberliegend angeordnet sind. Dadurch unterbricht ein zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Begrenzungselement vorhandenes Element einen vom Sender ausgesandten Lichtstrahl, wobei der Empfänger die Unterbrechung detektiert. Dadurch wird eine zuverlässige Detektion des Elements erreicht und somit eine zuverlässige Überwachung des Ausgabebereichs. Alternativ oder zusätzlich können weitere Sensoreinheiten eingesetzt werden, wie Sensoren zur Reflexdetektion, die insbesondere Laufzeit- und/oder Phasenverschiebung von ausgesendeter elektromagnetischer Strahlung detektieren, wobei Sender und Empfänger vorzugsweise unmittelbar nebeneinander oder in einer geringen Entfernung im Bereich von 1 bis 10 mm angeordnet sind. Ferner ist es möglich, andere Sensoren zusätzlich oder alternativ einzusetzen, wie beispielsweise Ultraschallsensoren, Radarsensoren, Laserabtastsensoren.It is particularly advantageous if the transmitter is arranged in or behind the first limiting element and if the receiver is arranged in or behind the second limiting element, with the transmitter and the receiver being arranged opposite one another. As a result, an element present between the first and second limiting elements interrupts a light beam emitted by the transmitter, with the receiver detecting the interruption. This achieves reliable detection of the element and thus reliable monitoring of the output area. Alternatively or additionally, further sensor units can be used, such as sensors for reflex detection, in particular Detect transit time and/or phase shift of emitted electromagnetic radiation, with transmitter and receiver preferably being arranged directly next to each other or at a short distance in the range of 1 to 10 mm. Furthermore, it is possible to use other sensors additionally or alternatively, such as ultrasonic sensors, radar sensors, laser scanning sensors.
Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn der Sender und der Empfänger in oder hinter dem ersten Begrenzungselement oder dem zweiten Begrenzungselement angeordnet sind, wobei der Sender und der Empfänger nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet sind. Ein dem Sender gegenüberliegendes Reflektorelement reflektiert einen vom Sender abgestrahlten Lichtstrahl derart, dass der Empfänger zumindest einen Teil des Lichtstrahls empfängt, wobei die Sensoreinheit das Vorhandensein des Elements detektiert, wenn sich der Einfallswinkel und/oder die Lichtmenge oder die Phasenlage oder die Zeitunterschiede des auf den Empfänger einfallenden Lichtstrahls verändert. Dadurch wird eine einfache und sichere Überwachung des Ausgabereichs erreicht.It is advantageous if the transmitter and the receiver are arranged in or behind the first limiting element or the second limiting element, with the transmitter and the receiver being arranged next to one another. A reflector element opposite the transmitter reflects a light beam emitted by the transmitter in such a way that the receiver receives at least part of the light beam, the sensor unit detecting the presence of the element when the angle of incidence and / or the amount of light or the phase position or the time differences on the Receiver of incident light beam changed. This enables simple and secure monitoring of the output area.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Lichtstrahl ein gepulster Lichtstrahl ist. Dadurch wird eine einfache Unterscheidung des Lichtstrahls von störendem Umgebungslicht erreicht, sodass eine besonders zuverlässige Überwachung des Ausgabebereichs möglich ist. Des Weiteren wird die Lichtmenge die u.U. in ein in das Licht schauende Auge einer Bedienperson gelangt, reduziert.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the light beam is a pulsed light beam. This makes it easy to distinguish the light beam from disturbing ambient light, so that particularly reliable monitoring of the output area is possible. Furthermore, the amount of light that may reach an operator's eye looking into the light is reduced.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform umfasst die Sensoreinheit eine Ultraschallsensoreinheit zum Senden und Empfangen von Ultraschallwellen. Die Ultraschallsensoreinheit ist in oder hinter der ersten Begrenzungswand angeordnet, wobei die Ultraschallsensoreinheit Ultraschallwellen ausgibt, die an einem Körper reflektiert werden, auf den die Ultraschallwellen auftreffen. Die Ultraschallsensoreinheit empfängt die gesendeten Ultraschallwellen nach einem Zeitintervall wieder, das von der Entfernung zwischen der Ultraschallsensoreinheit und dem Körper abhängig ist, an dem die Ultraschallwellen reflektiert werden. Die Ultraschallsensoreinheit detektiert das Element, wenn das Zeitintervall zwischen dem Senden der Ultraschallwellen und dem Empfang der reflektierten Ultraschallwellen kleiner oder gleich einem voreingestellten Grenzwert ist. Dadurch wird eine besonders sichere Detektion des Elements erreicht, die insbesondere nicht vom Material des Elements und/oder der Umgebungshelligkeit beeinflussbar ist.In an advantageous embodiment, the sensor unit comprises an ultrasonic sensor unit for sending and receiving ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic sensor unit is arranged in or behind the first boundary wall, with the ultrasonic sensor unit emitting ultrasonic waves that are reflected on a body on which the ultrasonic waves impinge. The ultrasonic sensor unit receives the transmitted ultrasonic waves again after a time interval that depends on the distance between the ultrasonic sensor unit and the body on which the ultrasonic waves are reflected. The ultrasonic sensor unit detects the element when the time interval between the transmission of the ultrasonic waves and the reception of the reflected ultrasonic waves is less than or equal to a preset limit. This achieves particularly reliable detection of the element, which in particular cannot be influenced by the material of the element and/or the ambient brightness.
Bei einer weiteren alternativen Ausführungsform umfasst die Sensoreinheit einen Sender zur Ausgabe eines Laserstrahls, und einen Empfänger zum Empfangen des Laserstrahls. Der Sender und der Empfänger sind in oder hinter dem ersten Begrenzungselement oder dem zweiten Begrenzungselement angeordnet, wobei der Sender und der Empfänger nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet sind. Der Laserstrahl wird an einem Reflektorelement reflektiert, das dem Sender gegenüberliegend angeordnet ist. Der von dem Sender ausgegebene Laserstrahl wird innerhalb eines Zeitintervalls von dem Empfänger empfangen, das abhängig ist von der Entfernung zwischen der Sensoreinheit und dem Reflektorelement. Die Sensoreinheit detektiert das Element, wenn das Zeitintervall zwischen dem Senden des Laserstrahls und dem Empfang des Laserstrahls von dem Zeitintervall abweicht, das einer Reflexion des Laserstrahls an dem Reflektorelement entspricht. Dadurch wird insbesondere eine präzise Detektion des Elements im Aufnahmebereich erreicht. Ferner wird eine Montage mit reduziertem Verkabelungsaufwand ermöglicht, da Sender und Empfänger nebeneinanderliegend angeordnet sind.In a further alternative embodiment, the sensor unit comprises a transmitter for outputting a laser beam and a receiver for receiving the laser beam. The transmitter and the receiver are arranged in or behind the first limiting element or the second limiting element, with the transmitter and the receiver being arranged next to one another. The laser beam is reflected on a reflector element that is arranged opposite the transmitter. The laser beam emitted by the transmitter is received by the receiver within a time interval that depends on the distance between the sensor unit and the reflector element. The sensor unit detects the element when the time interval between the transmission of the laser beam and the reception of the laser beam deviates from the time interval that corresponds to a reflection of the laser beam on the reflector element. This achieves, in particular, precise detection of the element in the recording area. Furthermore, assembly with reduced cabling effort is made possible because the transmitter and receiver are arranged next to each other.
Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Reflektorelement auf dem ersten Begrenzungselement oder dem zweiten Begrenzungselement angeordnet ist oder wenn das Reflektorelement in das erste oder in das zweite Begrenzungselement integriert ist oder wenn das erste Begrenzungselement oder das zweite Begrenzungselement das Reflektorelement bildet. Dadurch wird eine zuverlässige Überwachung des Ausgabebereichs erreicht.It is particularly advantageous if the reflector element is arranged on the first limiting element or the second limiting element or if the reflector element is integrated into the first or second limiting element or if the first limiting element or the second limiting element forms the reflector element. This ensures reliable monitoring of the output area.
Ferner ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Reflektorelement auf dem Verschlusselement angeordnet ist oder wenn das Verschlusselement das Reflektorelement bildet. Dadurch wird eine zuverlässige Detektion des Elements im Ausgabebereich erreicht.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the reflector element is arranged on the closure element or if the closure element forms the reflector element. This achieves reliable detection of the element in the output area.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Sensoreinheit derart ausgebildet, dass sie bei einem geöffneten Zustand des Verschlusselements nicht detektiert, ob im Ausgabereich ein Element angeordnet ist. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass das Detektionssignal bei jeder Öffnung des Verschlusselements ausgegeben wird.In an advantageous embodiment, the sensor unit is designed in such a way that when the closure element is in the open state, it does not detect whether it is in the output area an element is arranged. This prevents the detection signal from being output every time the closure element is opened.
Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist die Sensoreinheit eine erste Sensoreinheit. Es ist mindestens eine zweite Sensoreinheit vorgesehen, wobei die Steuereinheit den Geldautomaten in einem Fehlerbetriebsmodus ansteuert, wenn die erste Sensoreinheit ein erstes Detektionssignal und die zweite Sensoreinheit ein zweites Detektionssignal ausgibt und wenn die Zeitdauer der Ausgabe des ersten Detektionssignals und des zweiten Detektionssignals einen voreingestellten Grenzwert übersteigt. Dadurch wird verhindert, dass ein versehentlich in dem Ausgabebereich abgestelltes Element, das das Detektionssignal einer Sensoreinheit auslöst, zu einem Fehlerbetriebsmodus des Geldautomaten führen kann.In a further advantageous embodiment, the sensor unit is a first sensor unit. At least one second sensor unit is provided, wherein the control unit controls the ATM in an error operating mode when the first sensor unit outputs a first detection signal and the second sensor unit outputs a second detection signal and when the duration of the output of the first detection signal and the second detection signal exceeds a preset limit value . This prevents an element accidentally placed in the dispensing area, which triggers the detection signal of a sensor unit, from leading to an error operating mode of the ATM.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform sind der Sender und der Empfänger nebeneinanderliegend in oder hinter dem ersten Begrenzungselement, insbesondere mit einem Abstand zum Verschlusselement von 0 mm bis 30 mm, vorzugsweise von 3 mm bis 10 mm, insbesondere von 5 mm, angeordnet. Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungsform ist der Sender in oder hinter dem ersten Begrenzungselement mit einem Abstand zum Verschlusselement von 0 mm bis 30 mm, vorzugsweise von 3 mm bis 10 mm, insbesondere von 5 mm, angeordnet. Der Empfänger ist dem Sender gegenüberliegend in oder hinter dem zweiten Begrenzungselement mit einem Abstand von außen von 0 mm bis 30 mm, vorzugsweise von 3 mm bis 10 mm, insbesondere von 5 mm, angeordnet.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the transmitter and the receiver are arranged next to one another in or behind the first limiting element, in particular at a distance from the closure element of 0 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 10 mm, in particular 5 mm. In a further advantageous embodiment, the transmitter is arranged in or behind the first limiting element at a distance from the closure element of 0 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 10 mm, in particular 5 mm. The receiver is opposite the transmitter in or behind the second boundary element at a distance from outside of 0 mm to 30 mm, preferably from 3 mm to 10 mm, in particular from 5 mm.

Hinter dem geschlossenen Shutter 14 ist ein in
Ein von dem Sender 114 abgestrahlter Lichtstrahl 118 wird an einem Reflektor 120, der in der der Begrenzungswand 22 gegenüberliegenden Begrenzungswand 18 integriert ist, zum Empfänger 116 zurückgestrahlt. Der Reflektor 120 hat einen Reflexionsgrad, d.h. ein Verhältnis zwischen reflektierter zu einfallender Strahlung, von mindestens 50%. Als Reflektor 120 wird insbesondere eine retroreflektierende Folie verwendet. Retroreflektierende Folien können einen spiegelnden Untergrund haben, in dem kleine Glaskugeln mit einer Größe von ca. 50 µm eingelassen sind. Zur Abdeckung bzw. Tarnung sind diese insbesondere mit einer farbigen Folie abgedeckt. Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist die Begrenzungswand 18 derart ausgebildet oder beschichtet, dass sie ohne speziellen Reflektor eine ausreichende Reflexionseigenschaft zur Reflexion des Lichtstrahls 118 hat, damit dieser zum Empfänger 116 gelangt.A
In
Das Anordnen eines Elements in dem Ausgabebereich 12 zwischen der Sensoreinheit 112 und dem Reflektor 120 bewirkt eine Unterbrechung des Lichtstrahls 118, die von dem Empfänger 116 detektiert wird. Die Sensoreinheit 112 erzeugt ab dem Zeitpunkt der Detektion der Unterbrechung ein Detektionssignal und überträgt das Detektionssignal zu einer Steuereinheit des Geldautomaten 100. Im normalen Betriebszustand des Geldautomaten 100 wird der Lichtstrahl 118 nur für kurze Zeiträume im Bereich von 1 bis 10 Sekunden unterbrochen, beispielsweise bei der Entnahme von Wertscheinen aus dem Ausgabebereich durch die Bedienperson.Placing an element in the
Der Lichtstrahl 118 kann jedoch auch dann unterbrochen werden, wenn kriminelle Dritte den Ausgabereich 12, beispielsweise im Zuge sogenannter Cash-Trapping-Maßnahmen, manipulieren. Bei den sogenannten externen Cash-Trapping-Maßnahmen wird in den Ausgabereich 12 ein Cash-Trapping-Element angeordnet. Dieses Cash-Trapping-Element ist insbesondere dem Shutter 14 optisch ähnlich nachgebildet und verdeckt den Shutter 14 derart, dass eine Bedienperson Wertscheine auch bei geöffnetem Shutter 14 nicht aus dem Ausgabefach entnehmen kann. Das Cash-Trapping-Element erweckt bei einer Bedienperson oft den Eindruck eines geschlossenen Shutters 14.
Bekannte Cash-Trapping-Elemente E umfassen Mittel, die ein Schließen des hinter dem Cash-Trapping-Element E geöffneten Shutters 14 verhindern. Alternativ oder zusätzlich umfassen die Cash-Trapping-Elemente Mittel, an denen ein oder mehrere im Ausgabefach bereitgestellte Wertscheine anhaften. Wird der Geldautomat 100 von der Bedienperson zur Ausgabe von Wertscheinen angesteuert, öffnet sich zwar der Shutter 14, das Cash-Trapping-Element E verhindert jedoch den Zugriff auf das Ausgabefach. Sobald die Bedienperson den Geldautomaten 100 verlässt, entfernen die kriminellen Dritten das Cash-Trapping-Element E aus dem Ausgabereich 12 und erhalten somit Zugriff auf die Wertscheine.Known cash trapping elements E include means that prevent the
Bei der beschriebenen Manipulation des Geldautomaten 100 mit Hilfe des Cash-Trapping-Elements E wird der Lichtstrahl 118 der Sensoreinheit 112 über einen längeren Zeitraum, im Minuten- oder im Stundenbereich, unterbrochen. Die Zeitdauer, während der das Detektionssignal an die Steuereinheit übermittelt wird, d.h. während der der Lichtstrahl 118 unterbrochen ist, ist somit ein Indikator für einen Manipulationszustand des Geldautomaten 100. Der Manipulationszustand wirdDuring the described manipulation of the
dann ermittelt, wenn die Zeitdauer der Übermittlung des Detektionssignals an die Steuereinheit einen voreingestellten Grenzwert, beispielsweise im Bereich zwischen 1 Minute und 5 Minuten, überschreitet.then determined when the duration of transmission of the detection signal to the control unit exceeds a preset limit, for example in the range between 1 minute and 5 minutes.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach
Der von dem Sender 314 ausgesendete Lichtstrahl 318 wird auf dem Shutter 14 reflektiert. Zur vereinfachten Darstellung ist auch hier ein Reflexionspunkt B1 angegeben. Die Glanzsensoreinheit 312 ist dazu ausgebildet, den Glanz der Oberfläche zu erkennen, an der der Lichtstrahl 318 reflektiert wird. Ein Element zum Manipulieren des Ausgabereichs 12, insbesondere ein Cash-Trapping-Element E, ist in der Regel ein Kunststoffelement, das dem Verschlusselement 14 zwar nachgebildet ist, aber nicht dieselben Reflexionseigenschaften aufweist. Wird der Lichtstrahl 318, 326 nicht an dem Shutter 14, sondern an einem vor dem Shutter 14 angeordneten Cash-Trapping-Element E reflektiert, detektiert die Glanzsensoreinheit 312 eine Veränderung der Glanzeigenschaften und gibt ab dem Zeitpunkt der Detektion ein Detektionssignal an die Steuereinheit aus. Die Steuereinheit detektiert den Manipulationszustand des Geldautomaten 300, wenn die Zeitdauer der Übermittlung des Detektionssignals an die Steuereinheit den voreingestellten Grenzwert, beispielsweise im Bereich zwischen 1 Minute und 5 Minuten, überschreitet.The
Bei alternativen Ausführungsformen kann eine Messung der Entfernung zwischen einer Sensoreinheit, die zur Ausgabe eines Laserstrahls, eines IR Strahls oder von Radarwellen ausgebildet ist, und einem vorbestimmten Zielpunkt, insbesondere auf dem Shutter 14, erfolgen. Die Messung der Entfernung kann über eine Laufzeitmessung oder eine Phasenlagenmessung erfolgen. Bei der Laufzeitmessung sendet der Sender einen Lichtimpuls aus. Die Zeit, die der Lichtimpuls braucht, um von dem Sender zu einem reflektierenden Körper, insbesondere einem auf dem Shutter 14 angeordneten Retroreflektor, und wieder zurück zum Sender zu gelangen, wird allgemein als Pulslaufzeit bezeichnet. Mit Hilfe der Pulslaufzeit und der Lichtgeschwindigkeit wird die Entfernung zwischen Sender und dem Reflektor ermittelt. Bei einer Phasenlagenmessung wird hingegen eine Phasenverschiebung des reflektierten Laserstrahls gegenüber dem ausgesandten Laserstrahl ermittelt. Mit Hilfe der Phasenverschiebung wird die zurückgelegte Distanz ermittelt. Wird ein Element, insbesondere ein Cash-Trapping-Element E, zwischen der Sensoreinheit und dem Shutter 14 angeordnet, ändert sich die Pulslaufzeit oder die Phasenverschiebung, wobei die Änderung von der Sensoreinheit detektiert wird, die ab dem Zeitpunkt der Detektion ein Detektionssignal ausgibt. Auch bei der Verwendung von Radarsensoren, Ultraschallsensoren, Lichtschranken usw. kann eine Phasenverschiebung und/oder eine Pulslaufzeit ermittelt werden.In alternative embodiments, a measurement of the distance between a sensor unit, which is designed to output a laser beam, an IR beam or radar waves, and a predetermined target point, in particular on the
Die gesendeten Ultraschallwellen 618 werden von der Ultraschallsensoreinheit 612 nach einem Zeitintervall wieder empfangen, das abhängig ist von der Entfernung zwischen der Ultraschallsensoreinheit 612 und einem Element, an dem die Ultraschallwellen 618 reflektiert werden. In einem normalen Zustand des Geldautomaten 600, d.h. in einem Zustand ohne Anordnung eines Körpers im Ausgabebereich 12, werden die Ultraschallwellen 618 nach dem Zeitintervall empfangen, das der Reflexion an der Begrenzungswand 20 entspricht.The transmitted
Das Anordnen des Cash-Trapping-Elements E im Ausgabebereich 12 hat zur Folge, dass die Ultraschallwellen 618 zumindest teilweise von dem Cash-Trapping-Element E nach einem Zeitintervall reflektiert werden, das geringer ist, als das Zeitintervall bei der Reflexion der Ultraschallwellen 618 an der Begrenzungswand 20. Diese zeitliche Abweichung oder zusätzlich oder alternativ eine quantitative Abweichung der Amplitude des Reflexionssignales, wird von der Ultraschallsensoreinheit 612 detektiert, die ab den Zeitpunkt der Detektion ein Detektionssignal an die Steuereinheit ausgibt. Die Steuereinheit ermittelt den Manipulationszustand des Geldautomaten 600, wenn die Zeitdauer der Übermittlung des Detektionssignals an die Steuereinheit den voreingestellten Grenzwert, beispielsweise im Bereich zwischen 1 Minute und 5 Minuten, überschreitet.Arranging the cash trapping element E in the
Bei einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist die Ultraschallsensoreinheit 612 in den Shutter 14 integriert. Im normalen Betriebszustand des Geldautomaten, d.h. in einem Zustand einem in dem Ausgabebereich 12 angeordneten Cash-Trapping-Element E werden die Ultraschallwellen insbesondere nur dann reflektiert, wenn die Bedienperson den Geldautomaten bedient. Das Anordnen eines Cash-Trapping-Elements E im Ausgabebereich 12 hat zur Folge, dass die von dem Cash-Trapping-Element reflektierten Ultraschallwellen 618 nach einem Zeitintervall wieder detektiert werden, das geringer ist, als das Zeitintervall, das der Reflexion der Ultraschallwellen 618 an der Bedienperson entspricht. Diese zeitliche Abweichung wird von der Ultraschallsensoreinheit 612 detektiert, die ab den Zeitpunkt der Detektion ein Detektionssignal an die Steuereinheit ausgibt. Die Steuereinheit ermittelt den Manipulationszustand des Geldautomaten 600, wenn die Zeitdauer der Übermittlung des Detektionssignals an die Steuereinheit den voreingestellten Grenzwert, beispielsweise im Bereich zwischen 1 Minute und 5 Minuten, überschreitet.In an alternative embodiment, the
Der Geldautomat 700 umfasst eine erste Sensoreinheit 712 und eine zweite Sensoreinheit 812. Die erste Sensoreinheit 712 ist derart angeordnet, dass ein im Ausgabereich 12 angeordnetes Cash-Trapping Element E, E1, E2 in einem Erfassungsbereich der Sensoreinheit 712 detektiert wird, wobei die Richtung der Ausdehnung des Erfassungsbereichs der Sensoreinheit 712 mit dem auf den Shutter 14 gerichteten Pfeil 714 gekennzeichnet ist. Die zweite Sensoreinheit 812 ist hingegen derart angeordnet, dass ein formabschließendes Cash-Trapping-Element E1 oder ein kastenförmiges Cash-Trapping-Element E2 in einem Erfassungsbereich der Sensoreinheit 812 detektiert wird, wobei die Richtung der Ausdehnung des Erfassungsbereichs der Sensoreinheit 812 dem nach außen gerichteten Pfeil 814 gekennzeichnet ist.The
