Description

  The present invention relates to a paper sheet processing technique for discriminating, for example, banknotes, and in particular, a header card in which information for classifying a paper sheet to be handled and a card type are recorded, and a paper sheet using the same The present invention relates to a similar processing device.

  Conventionally, in a paper sheet processing apparatus, a plurality of detection means for detecting various feature quantities of a paper sheet is provided, and the type (ticket type) of the paper sheet from the detection result of each detection means. , Direction, authenticity, contamination degree, etc. are determined. For example, the printed pattern or pattern of a paper sheet is read by the magnetic detection means, and the ticket type and direction of the paper sheet are determined by comparing the similarity with a pre-registered magnetic pattern, and further information on the intensity of magnetic reaction Authenticity is also determined by taking into account.

  Some paper sheet processing apparatuses handle media belonging to different categories as paper sheets to be detected. For example, there is a header card processing system that simultaneously handles a security card and a partition card for separating the security into a certain unit, such as a header card (see, for example, Patent Document 1 below). For example, in the banknote header card processing system, the deposit from one customer is made into a unit of work of one batch. The header card reading rate is also required to be as accurate as securities.

  This header card is printed with magnetic information indicating that it is a header card, in addition to a bar code representing the identification information of the paper, for example, customer information. In the header card processing system, since at least magnetic information indicating the header card is recognized in the paper sheet processing apparatus, it can be easily detected by the detection means provided in the paper sheet processing apparatus. Magnetic information is printed using magnetic ink.

However, this magnetic ink is a special ink and cannot be printed easily by an inexpensive general-purpose printer or the like, and a high-cost magnetic ink printing facility is required to print it. Also, the magnetic ink itself was expensive compared to ordinary printing ink.

For example, a banknote processing apparatus 1 (hereinafter referred to as a banknote processing apparatus 1) that inspects banknotes (paper sheets) sent from a plurality of banks and binds them for reuse. , Simply referred to as the processing apparatus 1).

  The processing device 1 includes a loading unit 2 that loads a plurality of banknotes in a stacked state with a header card (partition card) described later interposed therebetween. On the front and back surfaces of the header card, exactly the same block patterns are printed as machine-readable identification symbols unique to the card. Note that the thickness of the header card is different from the thickness of the banknote to facilitate identification with the banknote.

The number of banknotes in each batch is not always the same. In this way, banknotes and header cards of the number of batches that can be input at one time are accumulated in the processing apparatus 1. At this time, in association with the barcode of the header card inserted for each batch, the operator inputs the bank name, branch name, banknote denomination, number of sheets, and the like as data relating to the banknote of each batch. Thus, the batch data input at the time of preprocessing is used for collation with the count result by the processing apparatus 1 of the latter stage.

  At the upper end of the input unit 2, there is provided a take-out unit 3 for taking out banknotes or header cards (hereinafter collectively referred to as a medium to be processed) inserted into the input unit 2 one by one from the upper end. It has been. The take-out unit 3 has a suction roller 3a that rotates while being in contact with the uppermost processing medium and generating a negative pressure. The suction roller 3a is formed, for example, so as to take out one processed medium every rotation, and takes out the processed medium at a predetermined pitch.

  On the downstream side of the take-out unit 3, a conveyance path 4 that conveys the medium to be treated that is adsorbed and taken out by the adsorption roller 3 a through the processing apparatus 1 is extended. A conveyance belt and a driving pulley (not shown) are arranged on the conveyance path 4, and the medium to be processed is conveyed at a constant speed through the conveyance path 4 by running the conveyance belt by a driving motor (not shown). Yes.

  On the transport path 4 extending from the take-out unit 3, a determination unit 5 is provided for detecting and determining the characteristics of the medium to be processed transported through the transport path 4.

  On the conveyance path 4 on the downstream side of the determination unit 5, six gates G1 to G6 are sequentially arranged. Each of the gates G1 to G6 is switched according to control by a control unit (not shown) based on the detection result in the discrimination unit 5, and directs the target medium to a predetermined processing unit.

  A gate G1 disposed immediately after the discrimination unit 5 is provided at a position where the conveyance path 4 branches to the exclusion conveyance path 4a. The header card is switched so as to branch to the exclusion conveyance path 4a. At the end of the reject conveyance path 4a, the reject stacking unit 8 (exclusion unit) that takes out the rejected ticket and the header card without changing the order in the posture taken out by the take-out unit 3, that is, without inverting the front and back. ) Is provided. For example, a header card that is inserted into the insertion unit 2 with its surface up and taken out is collected in the exclusion stacking unit 8 with its surface up. In addition, the exclusion stacking unit 8 also stacks banknotes, banknotes and header cards, and header cards.

  Further, at positions branched by gates G2 to G5 provided along the conveyance path 4 on the downstream side of the gate G1, first to fourth stacking / binding portions 9a to 9d (stacking portions) (hereinafter referred to as “stacking portions”) If necessary, a collective and binding unit 9 is collectively called). In the stacking / binding unit 9, only reusable genuine tickets out of banknotes other than the rejected tickets guided through the gate G 1 are collected and bound. For example, the first and second stacking / binding portions 9a, 9b are stacked with 100 sheets of regular bills with the surface up, and the third and fourth stacking / binding portions 9c, 9d , 100 genuine tickets with the back side up are collected and bundled. The correct bills bound by the stacking / binding unit 9 are discharged out of the machine by a conveyor (not shown) and reused.

  At the position branched from the transport path 4 by the gate G6 arranged on the most downstream side, the banknotes other than the rejected ticket guided through the gate G1 are not accumulated in the stacking / binding unit 9 A cutting section 10 is provided for storing a banknote, that is, a regular banknote, which is judged to be non-reusable due to reasons such as loss of pollution, and is made invalid.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a configuration example of the discrimination unit of the paper sheet processing apparatus.

  A paper sheet 110 as a medium to be processed is introduced into the determination unit 5 along the transport path 4 by a pair of transport rollers 130 and 131. A transmission image detection unit 140 that detects transmission image information of the paper sheet 110, an upper surface reflection image detection unit 150 that detects reflection image information on the upper surface of the paper sheet 110, and a paper sheet from upstream on the conveyance path. 110, a lower surface reflection image detection unit 160 that detects reflection image information on the lower surface of the paper 110, a magnetic detection unit 170 that detects magnetic printing characteristics of the paper sheet 110, and a fluorescence detection that detects a fluorescence emission feature amount from the paper sheet 110. A unit 180 and a thickness detection unit 190 that detects the thickness of the paper sheet 110 are installed. In addition, a detection information processing unit 200 that is connected to each of the detection units and processes detection information from the detection units is installed above the determination unit 5.

  A functional block diagram of the detection information processing unit 200 is shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 11, a transmission image detection unit 140, an upper surface reflection image detection unit 150, a lower surface reflection image detection unit 160, a magnetic detection unit 170, a fluorescence detection unit 180, and a thickness detection unit 190 respectively indicate the detection units in FIG. 4. . The transmission image detection unit 140, the upper surface reflection image detection unit 150, and the lower surface reflection image detection unit 160 have, for example, an LED array as a light emitting unit and a photodiode array, an amorphous silicon sensor array, or a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) as a light receiving unit. In the one-dimensional image reading sensor, visible light or near infrared light is used for the LED depending on the application. The magnetic detection unit 170 is a sensor such as a magnetic head, for example, and a DC bias current is applied to the primary side of the core material, and a change in flux when the magnetic material passes through the head unit is detected by the secondary side coil. Indicates a sensor. The fluorescence detection unit 180 is a sensor that detects an excitation light emitted from a medium in a spot visual field using a light emitting unit as a light emitting unit and a photodiode as a light receiving unit. The thickness detection unit 190 sandwiches the medium to be processed between two rollers, and converts the fluctuation amount of the roller on one side or the shaft that supports it into an electric signal using a displacement sensor or the like.

  The detection data from each sensor is amplified / processed through signal processing circuits 201-206 such as operational amplifiers, and six analog signals are time-divided into one analog signal by the analog multiplexer 207. Then, the analog / digital conversion circuit 210 converts the data into, for example, 8-bit digital data. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the analog multiplexer 207 time-divides the analog signal into one system in order to make the analog / digital conversion circuit one circuit. However, depending on the system assembly and hardware conditions, all detection signals Even if the analog / digital conversion is independently performed, the effects of the present invention are not affected at all.

  Next, the detection data converted into a digital signal is subjected to preprocessing such as spatial differentiation or averaging in accordance with each detection content in the subsequent preprocessing circuit 220, and is stored in the data storage unit 230. The detection block 240 is a processing operation unit represented by a microcomputer, which sequentially reads detection data from the data storage unit 230, and determines the type, direction, authenticity, and degree of contamination of the paper sheet 110 that is the processing target medium. Make a decision.

  Similarly, the main control unit 250 is a processing calculation unit represented by a microcomputer, and notifies the calculation result of the detection block 240 to a higher-level device, for example, a mechanism control unit of a paper sheet processing device. The mechanism control unit switches the conveyance path switching unit (not shown) based on the type, direction, authenticity, and contamination degree information from the determination unit 5, and the paper sheets 110 are conveyed to the stacker in which they are stored. Control as follows.

  Next, in the detection block 240 of the paper sheet processing apparatus, an image detected by the transmission image detection unit 140, the upper surface reflection image detection unit 150, or the lower surface reflection image detection unit 160 is used, as shown in FIGS. A ticket type detection processing method for reading a ticket code indicated by a block pattern printed at a low density on the header card shown and the trailer card shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 will be specifically described.

  FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of an example of a ticket type detection process for reading a ticket code when the header card shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and the trailer card shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are used.

  First, an image is read from the data storage unit (S1), projections in the longitudinal direction and the short direction are obtained, and positions exceeding the threshold are detected as, for example, the left end, the upper end, and the lower end of the processing medium (S2) (S3). . When three edge portions of the medium to be processed can be detected, 304 target marks are detected, and a projection of a certain area from the edge of the medium to be processed is obtained in the longitudinal direction and the short side direction. The position where the matches coincides with the target mark position. If even one edge of the medium to be processed cannot be detected, a projection of an area within a certain range from the edge of the image is obtained, and the position where the features of the projection pattern match is set as the position of the target mark (S4).

  If the target mark can be detected, the ticket code is recognized (S5). Since the position of the block row indicating the ticket code is known from the position of the target mark, for example, the first row, that is, about 1/3 of the center of the block outside the card, is projected in the longitudinal direction, and the vicinity of the center of the four blocks If it is continuously larger than a threshold value over several pixels, it is regarded as black, and if it is smaller, it is regarded as a background color and a 4-bit code is read. The same processing is performed for the second row, that is, the row of the block inside the card, and the 4-bit code is read, and the codes for the two rows are combined into an 8-bit ticket code. It is determined whether the read ticket code is a header card (S6). If it is a header card, header card detection is specified (S7). When recognizing that it is not a header card, it is determined whether the read ticket code is a trailer card (S8). When the trailer card is recognized, the trailer card detection is specified (S9). When recognizing that it is not a trailer card, it is determined whether the read ticket code is a simulation ticket (S10). When recognizing that it is a mock ticket, mock ticket detection is specified (S11). If it is recognized that it is not a mock ticket, or if the target mark cannot be detected in step 4, it is considered that the ticket code is not written on the header card, trailer card, mock ticket, etc., and securities are detected. Processing is performed to identify the ticket type (S12). If the ticket type cannot be specified, the ticket type is “Not applicable”.

  The ticket type detection result obtained in this way is output from the detection block 240 to the main control unit 250, and is used for switching the transport destination of the ticket and determining the operation of the system (S13).

  Using a paper sheet processing device using such a header card system, a block pattern indicating ticket code information is printed on the header card, thereby realizing a system without using expensive magnetic ink and a printer. And cost can be reduced. In addition, by making the pattern sufficiently large, it is possible to recognize the header card using a low resolution image sensor used for discriminating paper sheets, and further, skew and A system that is resistant to slides can be constructed.

  It is also possible to separately create a simulated ticket with a ticket code different from the header card and an adjustment chart. When the discrimination unit detects this simulated ticket, the reading result is a sensor or detection parameter. Even in this case, since the type of the simulated ticket and the ticket type can be recognized using the low-resolution image sensor, the operation mode of the apparatus can be adjusted without switching.

  Next, FIG. 13 is a flowchart of another example of the ticket type detection process for reading the ticket code when the header card shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and the trailer card shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are used. Show.

  First, an image is read from the data storage unit (S14), projections in the longitudinal direction and the short direction are obtained, and positions exceeding the threshold are detected as, for example, the left end, the upper end, and the lower end of the processing medium (S15) (S16). .

Next, ticket code recognition is performed (S17). Since the position of the block row indicating the ticket code is known from the end point of the ticket, for example, the center of the first row, that is, about 1/3 of the block row outside the card is projected in the longitudinal direction. If it is continuously larger than a threshold value over several pixels, it is regarded as black and if it is smaller, it is regarded as a background color, and a 7-bit code is read. The same processing is performed for the second row, that is, the block row inside the card, the 7-bit code is read, and the codes for the two rows are combined into a 14-bit ticket code. It is determined whether the read ticket code is a header card (S18). If it is a header card, the header card detection is specified (S19). When recognizing that it is not a header card, it is determined whether the read ticket code is a trailer card (S20). When the trailer card is recognized, the trailer card detection is specified (S21). When recognizing that it is not a trailer card, it is determined whether the read ticket code is a simulation ticket (S22). When recognizing that it is a mock ticket, mock ticket detection is specified (S23). When recognizing that it is not a mock ticket, it is considered that it is not a ticket on which a ticket code such as a header card, a trailer card, and a mock ticket is written, and the securities are detected (S24). The seed detection result is output (S25).

If the ticket type cannot be specified, the ticket type is “Not applicable”.
