2. Description of the Related Art Banks, pachinko parlors, and the like have come into widespread use of various banknote changers equipped with a banknote recognition device. However, in recent years, copy technology and printing technology have been improved, and as a result, counterfeit bills that seemingly cannot be distinguished from genuine banknotes are rampant, and the banknote recognition device is indistinguishable, which is a major social problem. For example, the banknote identification method disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2-31248 is based on the following method. That is, a light-emitting element that emits near-infrared light, and a light-receiving element that receives reflected light are scanned on the banknote to be inspected, and reflected light is received by the light-receiving element.
This detection signal is input to the comparison means. The detection signal is shown in FIG.
The detection position is selected in advance to be a plurality of maximum values and minimum values of the pattern, and an upper limit value and a lower limit value are set in advance to the detection signal at the detection position. It is determined whether the detection signal value of the reflected light at each detection position from the inspection target banknote is within the range of the upper limit and the lower limit, and if it is within the range, a genuine banknote is detected; Is determined.

However, the above-mentioned conventional banknote identification method has the following problems. That is, the reflected light from the banknote to be inspected varies. As described above, the determination is made based on whether or not the detection signal at each detection position is within the range between the predetermined upper limit value and lower limit value in consideration of this variation. However, not only does the reflected light vary considerably between new bills, but also there is a large difference in the amount of reflected light between the new bill and the old bill. Therefore, in consideration of such a large variation, the width between the upper limit value and the lower limit value must be set to a considerably large value, which causes a problem that the forged bill is erroneously determined as a genuine bill. In fact, in the conventional one, there is a possibility that a copy of a genuine bill may be judged as a genuine bill. In addition, if the width between the upper limit and the lower limit is set to be small, there is a disadvantage that a genuine bill is determined to be a counterfeit bill.

The present invention has the following arrangement to achieve the above object. That is, a part of the banknote is selected as a detection zone for linear detection, and a banknote to be inspected is scanned with a light-emitting element and a light-receiving element that receives reflected light along the selected detection zone, from the light-emitting element. Light is emitted toward the detection zone, the light receiving element detects reflected light from the detection zone, and inputs a detection signal of reflected light obtained by the light receiving element to comparison means, which is input in advance by the comparison means. In a bill identification method for identifying authenticity by comparing with a detection signal pattern of reflected light of a genuine bill, the pattern of reflected light from a genuine bill is analyzed in advance, and the maximum value and the minimum value of the detection signal appear. the position on the detection zone with a plurality of detection, test
Combining the positions of the local maximum value and the position of the local minimum value from among the plurality of positions that have been issued , sets a plurality of sets each including one maximum value position and one local minimum position, and sets the set.

Further, the criterion in the present invention is based on the difference between the detection signals of each pair of the adjacent maximum value and minimum value. That is, P 1 −L 1 = X 1 , P 2 −L 2 = X 2 , P 3
Based on the value of L 3 = X 3 , an allowable value determined empirically by actually measuring the variation in the intensity of the reflected light of the new bill, the old bill, etc. is set. For example, X 1 = 3 ± 0. 5 (V), X 2 =
Reference values such as 2 ± 0.4 (V) and X 3 = 1.8 ± 0.3 (V) are set and stored in a memory. In the detection of the banknote to be inspected, the detection signal value at each of the set detection positions is input to the arithmetic and control unit 16, temporarily stored in a memory, and then the difference between adjacent maximum and minimum values is calculated. The difference value is compared with the set reference value,
If it is within the range of the reference value, it is determined to be a genuine bill, and if it is outside the reference value, it is determined to be a fake bill. If it is a genuine bill, the currency is exchanged as it is, and if it is determined to be a counterfeit bill, the alarm is activated or the bill is discharged as it is without exchanging. The difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the reflected light is not so large between the new bill and the old bill, and the measurement accuracy is improved.

The reason why the light receiving signal from the light receiving element 12 is amplified at a preset amplification factor and input to the arithmetic control unit 16 is to correct the variation between the light emitting element 10 and the light receiving element 12 comprising semiconductor sensors. That's why. That is, the semiconductor sensors have large variations, the amount of emitted light varies even with the same power, and the output signal values vary even with the same amount of received light. In order to eliminate this variation, a light-emitting element 10 and a light-receiving element 12 are selected as a reference, and a pattern of light reflected from the reference bill is obtained by using the reference element. For this purpose, first, a white paper (blank) is scanned to detect reflected light, then, a reference bill is scanned to detect reflected light, and a difference between the two is obtained as a pattern of reflected light from the reference bill. Next, the pattern of the reflected light from the reference bill is obtained by the light emitting element 12 and the light receiving element 12 to be used in the same manner as described above. A difference occurs between the obtained patterns due to variations in characteristics between the reference element and the element to be used. In order to eliminate this difference, for example, if the maximum value of the detection value of the reference element is 4 V and the detection value of the element to be used is 2 V, the amplification factor of the element to be used is set to twice, and thus determined. The signal is amplified by the amplifier 14 according to the gain thus obtained and input to the arithmetic control unit 16. By doing so, the reference value X 1 can be obtained regardless of the element used.
= 3 ± 0.5 (V), X 2 = 2 ± 0.4 (V), X 3 =
1.8 ± 0.3 (V) can be commonly set, and control by a microcomputer becomes possible.

Although the reflected light from the bill 18 may be detected on only one side of the bill 18, the authenticity can be determined with higher accuracy by detecting the reflected lights from the front and back surfaces, respectively.
In the above embodiment, detection using near infrared light was attempted, but a visible light sensor may be used. Of course, if the near-infrared light sensor and the visible light sensor are provided side by side, the accuracy can be further improved. Although not shown, a sensor for detecting transmitted light passing through the tag is provided, so that the thickness of the tag can be detected based on the size of the transmitted light, and it is possible to determine whether two cards are inserted by mistake. Also, it can be used as one element of the authenticity judgment based on the thickness of the paper.
