Definitions
- the invention relates to a card counter for counting stored in a stack or magazine cards with interacting with the cards sensors and a method for counting held in a stack or magazine cards by a sensor via a periodically occurring signal as with the Maps correlated to the count is evaluated.
- Card counters or methods of the type mentioned in the introduction are e.g. from WO 2007/072166 A2, US Pat. No. 5,457,312, US Pat. No. 7,115,857 B1, US Pat. No. 7,045,765 B2 and US 2004/0178373 A1.
- These known card counters or card counting methods are used inter alia for counting cards, which can differ from each other in their concrete design, such as in their color, the formation of their edges, the material or the like.
- a card counter for counting cards held in a stack or magazine with a sensor interacting with the cards may be characterized in that the sensor system has at least two sensory channels interacting differently with each of the cards or cards of the stack to be counted.
- the cards to be counted need not be all cards held in the stack or magazine.
- the cards to be counted may in particular be cards with a thickness which is above 0.20 mm, in particular above 0.25 mm. However, objects with a thickness of over 5.0 mm or over 4.5 mm are not cards in the above sense. As a rule, the cards to be counted will not exceed a width / length ratio of 10 cm ⁇ 10 cm.
- cards are inherently elastic at least as long as they are not deflected over 10 times their thickness.
- Typical examples of the cards that can be counted by means of the card counter are telephone cards, credit cards, bank cards, identification cards and identity cards in all conceivable forms.
- the interactions that may underlie the channels may include, for example, one channel interacting visually and another channel interacting with the cards via a touch sensor or via an air-interactive sensor. It is also conceivable, for example, that in the case of an interaction, the cards optically interact with one channel via reflection and, in the case of another interaction with another channel, optically via shadow casting. Also, in the optical reflection, different directions of the incident or reflected light may cause different interactions with the card to be counted, so that by providing the different directions with the cards, different interactive sensory channels can be provided. Likewise, different colors and different polarizations in optical interactions are conceivable. It is understood that corresponding different interactions, in particular to allow separation of the channels, can also be combined.
- a sensory channel can optically interact with an edge or with a narrow side of the respective card, whereby the edge or narrow side can particularly preferably be an edge or narrow side which has a reflective effect for the respective light used. This allows a particularly simple counting, since then the stack does not open or the cards must be moved in the magazine or removed from this.
- a stack of cards is preferably defined by a substantially linear array of cards perpendicular to the card plane.
- the cards are each aligned identically and preferably each have substantially the same geometric dimensions.
- the term magazine refers to a stack of cards that are grouped into a collectively tradeable group, which may be implemented by, for example, a tape or sleeve, but also by a box or tray.
- the cards in the use of a tape or a shell each lie directly against each other, while possibly in a box, a tub or a holder may also be provided separately by, for example, a part of the cards on a box or tub side and the other part of the cards are supported on another box or tub side or by providing a separate holding compartment for each card in the holder.
- supplementary holding devices such as, for example, tensioning bodies or springs, can ensure that the cards in the crates, trays or holders reliably exist as magazines.
- the sensor of the card counter in the present context means a device which is adapted to throw the cards for counting, inter alia, using at least one sensor based on interactions, such as optical reflection or shadow, which in turn determine interaction mechanism between the card and the sensor subject to - so for example, subject to an optical interaction mechanism - to capture.
- the sensor depending on the specific configuration as a single module can interact with the card, such as in tactile or acoustic feedback sensors, or that the sensor, for example via a transmitter, such as a light or an ultrasonic transmitter, and a receiver, such as a photodiode, a photocell or a microphone, may have to cause a corresponding interaction.
- a sensory channel is generally to be understood as a sensory detection functionality of the sensor system which is set up to interact with the cards via a specific interaction for sensory detection, e.g. a detection functionality, which is set up to interact with the maps on optical paths via reflection or shadow.
- a sensory channel for example, in each case a measurement by light under a certain color or polarization or with different input and output angles or by exploiting certain effect, such as shadow or reflectivity serve.
- a sensory channel can serve a mechanical scanning or a departure with acoustic sensors.
- a displacement device for displacing the sensor system along the stack or magazine. Due to the intended displaceability of the sensors, a long row of successively arranged cards, which are arranged in the stack or magazine, ie arranged linearly or in one spatial direction or successively, can also be detected sensitively by displacing the sensors along the stack or magazine for the purpose of counting become. When relocating the sensors along the stack or magazine, the sensors are displaced in the longitudinal direction of the row of cards arranged in succession.
- the sensor system may comprise an optical device in which at least one transmitter and at least one receiver or at least two transmitters or at least two receivers are arranged in a one-piece housing or block or formed on this.
- an optical device in which at least one transmitter and at least one receiver or at least two transmitters or at least two receivers are arranged in a one-piece housing or block or formed on this.
- the sensor system has five different sensory channels interacting with each of the cards of the stack or magazine to be counted, the first and second channels being configured to optically overlay shadows from different sides with the cards interact, wherein the third and fourth channel are adapted to interact visually via reflection at different angles with the cards, and wherein the fifth channel is adapted to interact optically via reflection with the cards, wherein at the fifth channel of the Einstrahl angle of the light irradiated to the respective card or edge of the card is close to vertical, ie smaller than 10 ° or 8 ° to the map plane.
- the angle of incidence is, in a known manner, the angle that is measured parallel to the plane of the map of the normal of the edge surface of the respective map.
- a card counter formed according to this practical embodiment advantageously allows the consideration of a multiplicity of different card constructions on account of the different interactions possible over the five sensory channels.
- the fifth channel is particularly suitable for illuminating the respective edge of the card or card narrow side in which the card edge or card edge is illuminated. Narrow side is wholly or almost completely illuminated.
- the illumination can be carried out particularly preferably with a colored light, for example an RGB light-emitting diode.
- a method of counting cards stored in a stack or magazine by evaluating via a sensor a periodically occurring signal as correlating with the cards for counting may be characterized in that the sensor via at least two different sensory channels with each the cards of the stack or magazine to be counted interact.
- the interaction via at least two different sensory channels - that is, via channels which interact differently with each of the cards to be counted - advantageously enables a reliable counting of cards, even with different configurations, as already explained above.
- the sensors are displaced along the stack or magazine.
- a long series of consecutively arranged cards held in the stack or magazine can be sensitively detected for counting, as stated above.
- a relative movement between the sensor system on the one hand and the stack or the magazine on the other hand is important, the relative movement thus having a component perpendicular to the card plane along the stack or magazine.
- the senor interacts with both channels - or with the at least two channels - simultaneously with at least one card and detected by both channels the card sensitive.
- a very reliable detection of the respective card and thus a very reliable counting can be made possible.
- the reliability in counting can be increased by the fact that if one of the sensory channels is not sufficiently sensitive due to, for example, a construction which is not optimal for this channel, the sensitivity required for reliable counting can be provided by the other channel, eg the construction the card is better matched to the other channel.
- the process time or counting time can be shortened by the simultaneous interaction. The simultaneous interaction allows, if this is desired, especially one Correlation of both sensory channels to increase process reliability, for example through a plausibility check.
- the periodically occurring signals of the sensors per channel are first evaluated individually and then compared and / or superimposed.
- An evaluation of the individual channels can be done, for example, with statistical methods, for example by analyzing the variance, in order to determine the sensitivity of each channel in this way, for example.
- the most sensitive channel can then be selected for the count or for part of the count. It is conceivable that the comparison for another part of the cards recognizes a different channel as the most sensitive channel, which is then used for a count.
- comparison it is conceivable to use the comparison to select a plurality of channels, for example the two or three most sensitive channels, which are used for counting, and to compare their counting results with one another for control or to superimpose these channels first in their signal and then only to count make this selection of multiple channels may be limited to portions of the stack or magazine.
- the reliability of the counting value provided by the counting method which in the ideal case is e.g. the actual number corresponding to cards held in the stack or magazine can be substantially increased.
- An overlay of the periodically occurring signals can be detected by an optical interaction e.g. be made by adding the gray values.
- the evaluation of the signals can be carried out using an arbitrary evaluation method, ie an evaluation method in which e.g. the intensity of the signal is taken into account. In particular, it would also be advantageous to use a frequency-dependent signal intensity of the evaluation after a Fourier analysis.
- the more significant of the two signals can be used, for example, for a count and the other signal for a check and / or for a plausibility check.
- the reliability of the count provided by the counting process which in the ideal case may be, for example, the actual number of cards held in the stack or magazine corresponds to significantly increased.
- the sensory channel of the more significant signal at one region of the stack or magazine need not be identical to the channel of the more significant signal of another region of the stack or magazine.
- the areas of the stack or magazine could in particular differ in that the respective cards have different configurations or are at least partially not configured identically.
- the other or the respective other signal can be used for a check and / or for a plausibility check, whereby the reliability of the counting value provided by the counting method can be increased again.
- a check or plausibility check could e.g. be that the count result of a count of the other signals or at least, for example, the second most significant should correspond to the count of counting the more significant signals, otherwise, the count usually does not match the actual number, held in the stack or magazine cards.
- additional values such as a card thickness or a card weight
- a card thickness or a card weight can be used in a particularly practical manner.
- About the card thickness or the card weight can be closed advantageously using the count result on the entire length of the stored in the stack or magazine cards or on the total weight of all cards. A subsequent comparison with the actually present length or the total weight actually present then enables a plausibility check of the counting result.
- the plausibility check may e.g. in the card counter or externally by the user, whereby the count result of the count of the more significant signals and / or the other signals can be output to facilitate the plausibility check.
- the sensor system can interact with the cards in different tracks for each channel.
- These Procedure allows depending on the design of the respective card for the respective sensory channel in terms of its sensitivity optimal track, preferably on an edge or narrow side of each card to be considered.
- skipping or influencing of the signals of different channels can be minimized.
- the latter applies, for example, to two optical channels in which, for example, white light can cover colored light of an adjacent channel, or a mechanical channel which would cover a light beam with a button or the like.
- the different tracks may, in particular, be tracks parallel to one another, which are preferably arranged perpendicular to the direction of extent of the edge or narrow side or aligned parallel to the extension direction of the stack or magazine.
- the sensor system has a common sensor head for the two channels.
- a common sensor head for the two channels By providing a common sensor head for the two channels, a structurally simple and compact sensor can be provided.
- the sensor head carries both at least one receiver and at least one transmitter carries at least one channel.
- the transmitter may vary depending on the nature of the interaction mechanism provided, e.g. to act an acoustic source or a light source.
- the receiver may be e.g. to act an arrangement of a plurality of CDD sensors to provide analogous to the technology known from scanning or digital photography an image in particular of the edges or narrow sides of the cards to be counted.
- a white illumination can be provided, which is reflected by the cards on different pixels of CCD sensors. Possibly. can then go through Filters, such as color filters or polarizing filters, or other accompanying measures various channels are provided.
- the two channels interact with the cards in each case by means of different interaction mechanisms.
- This can be implemented, for example, with one channel optically and the other channel via a touch sensor or an air-interacting sensor.
- the two channels can also interact with the cards, for example optically, by means of identical interaction mechanisms, and interact with the cards from different directions and / or with different frequencies.
- different colors but also differently shaped edges can be reliably counted by different interactions with each suitably selected channels.
- any other interaction mechanisms are conceivable, in particular an interaction mechanism that provides a touching contact with the cards, for example via tactile sensors or an interaction mechanism that provides a triangulation using laser light.
- the interaction from different directions can in particular include an interaction via shadow casting and / or via different reflection directions and / or via different illumination directions and / or via different viewing directions, wherein this is technically realized in particular by different transmitters or receivers can be.
- Even with an identical interaction mechanism by providing the different directions and / or frequencies for interacting with the cards, a wide variety of different sensitivities can be provided, which can be advantageously tailored individually to a variety of card constructions.
- polarized light By using polarized light, unwanted or spurious reflections or scattering effects can be effectively suppressed in a known manner.
- a polarizing filter used to provide the polarized light could here be e.g. be arranged on the optical path between the transmitter and the card and / or on the optical path between the card and the receiver. Also, if necessary, cards can interact with polarized light with high sensitivity.
- At least one of the sensory channels can optically interact with the cards. Accordingly, it is advantageous if the corresponding one has an optical transmitter and an optical receiver in order to ensure a corresponding interaction.
- the optical transmitter and / or the optical receiver comprise an opto-electrical converter, such as a light emitting diode or photodiode, an incandescent lamp, a photocell or the like, wherein the opto-electrical converter with at least a further optical component, such as a diaphragm or a lens, is connected by means of a common module housing to a module which can be fastened to the sensor by means of a holder of the sensor.
- an opto-electrical converter such as a light emitting diode or photodiode, an incandescent lamp, a photocell or the like
- the opto-electrical converter with at least a further optical component such as a diaphragm or a lens
- the module housing itself, for example by its wall, can provide the optical component or a further optical component, for example to provide a diaphragm or a shading.
- the holder can be ensured with a suitable embodiment, an accurate positioning of the assembly of opto-electrical converter, the other optical component and the common module housing, which, for example, by appropriate fit fits or suitable recesses and projections with which the holder with the assembly cooperates, can be guaranteed.
- the holder can be provided by suitable recesses into which the assembly can be inserted.
- Corresponding recesses may be provided in particular in a base plate, in which a plurality of further sensory channels or in particular optical elements or even further assemblies of opto-electrical converter, associated further optical components and in each case a common module housing are arranged.
- the base plate has substantially no projections and possibly projections whose dimensions are those of the optical components or those of the assemblies of opto-electrical converters, further associated optical component and respectively common Assembly housing correspond or not exceed, are provided.

- the assemblies are particularly easy to exchange and handle, if from a the opto-electrical converter farthest point to the cards no other optical assemblies in the optical path between this point and the Cards are arranged. It is then possible to align the optoelectrical transducer and the associated optical assemblies all to one another accordingly, so that in this respect further adjustments are not necessary.
- filters such as polarizing filters, or lenses can be aligned accordingly with respect to the module housing, with an overall alignment of the modules with respect to the cards can then be done via a corresponding support on the sensor.
- the module housing is designed as a cylinder jacket. This ensures a simple structure, wherein the module housing does not necessarily have to have a circular cylindrical surface. Rather, the cylindrical surface may follow, for example, the outer shape of the opto-electrical transducer and / or the optical assembly.
- the inner wall of the module housing can, in particular if the module housing is designed in the form of a cylinder jacket, serve as an aperture and possibly also be blackened in particular.
- counting may simply start and end when the sensor is moved from a starting point to an end point relative to the stack or magazine.
- This approach is structurally extremely easy to implement, but can sometimes lead to errors that could be caused for example by the wall of a magazine holder or a tray or by a card holder.
- the marking can be directly detectable by the sensors of the channels, where necessary also the marking in the channels leads to different signals, or that a separate sensory measuring process, for example by a switch or by a light barrier, is used for this purpose becomes.
- these measures can also be combined with each other in a variety of ways, it being understood that these measures and their combination can be used correspondingly advantageous regardless of the use of different channels in card counters and counting. For example, it is possible to do a count start when the sensor reaches a certain start position and stop counting when no more periodic signal is measured or a final signal defined by a particular marker is measured.
