Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for processing sheet material, in particular securities such as banknotes, tickets, vouchers, checks, etc., in which different groups of sheet material are processed one after the other, the different groups of sheet material being separated for processing by means of separator cards will.
  • deposits can be from different depositors
  • the different groups of sheets of paper (hereinafter referred to as banknotes for the sake of simplicity) are separated by means of separating cards.
  • the separation cards are inserted between the different deposits to separate them.
  • the separation cards are preferably arranged at the beginning of the group of banknotes forming the respective deposit.
  • the separator cards have a unique identification and can contain information, for example, about the depositor and/or about the deposit.
  • the separator cards are designed in such a way that they are automatically recognized as a separator card during processing by the bank note processing machine and the unique identification or the information is recorded.
  • the banknote processing machine can post the assigned group of banknotes for the corresponding deposit or for the corresponding depositor.
  • the separation cards are used to banknotes that can not be processed during processing by the banknote processing machine such. B. because they could not be recognized as a real banknote or not at all, to identify for further processing.
  • become the separation cards are transported and stored in a special output tray.
  • all banknotes from a deposit that cannot be processed are transported to the special output compartment and deposited after the associated separator card.
  • the banknotes that can be processed, ie the recognized banknotes, are processed as intended and booked for the respective deposit, e.g. B. to an account of the depositor. This procedure is repeated for further deposits.
  • the separation card for a deposit is transported to the special output compartment and deposited, then banknotes that cannot be processed or processed banknotes, if any, are processed as intended and booked for the respective deposit.
  • the known method has the disadvantage that a large number of separation cards are collected in the special output compartment, but which are usually assigned banknotes that cannot be processed in exceptional cases. During the subsequent processing of the separation cards and banknotes collected in the special output compartment, a great deal of effort is therefore required to sort out separation cards that are not relevant for further processing because these separation cards are not assigned banknotes that cannot be processed.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for processing sheet material, in particular securities such as banknotes, tickets, vouchers, checks, etc., in which different groups of sheet material are processed one after the other, the different groups of sheet material being processed by means of at the beginning of the groups of sheet well-arranged separator cards are separated, to indicate that a simplified processing of separator cards and non-workable sheet material he permits.
  • This object is achieved by the features of the independent claim.
  • the invention is based on a method for processing sheet material, in particular securities such as banknotes, tickets, vouchers, checks, etc., in which different groups of sheet material are separated from one another by means of separating cards arranged at the beginning of the different groups of sheet material , are processed one after the other by a sheet material processing machine, with the separator cards and the
  • Sheet material is checked by means of a sensor device and a control device and transported and stored according to their detection in different output units of the sheet material processing machine, with a first processing of the separation cards and various groups of sheet material by the sheet material processing machine, in which the separation cards and sheet material not recognized are in a first Output unit are stored, whereas recognized sheet material is stored in other output units;
  • a second processing of the separation cards stored in the first output unit and the unrecognized sheet material is provided, in which separation cards to which no unrecognized sheet material is assigned are stored in a second output unit, whereas separation cards to which at least one piece sheet material that has not been recognized is assigned, can be deposited in the first output unit, with the sheet material that has not been recognized being checked again by means of the sensor device and the control device and, if it is recognized, being deposited in the output units, with the exception of the first and second output unit, whereas if it is not recognized, it will be in the first output unit is deposited.
  • the advantage of the invention can be seen in particular in the fact that the usually large number of separator cards, which are not assigned sheet material that cannot be processed, are sorted out automatically, so that the otherwise usual large manual effort of sorting out these separator cards because they are not suitable for further processing are relevant because no non-processable sheet material is assigned to these separation cards.
  • separator cards deposited in the first output unit after the second processing, as well as the unrecognized sheet material assigned to them, are removed and processed again.
  • the second processing is repeated at least once.
  • the advantage of the development can be seen in particular in the fact that by repeating the second processing, sheet material previously classified as not recognizable can be partially recognized, as a result of which manual rework is reduced.
  • the separator cards stored in the first output unit after the second or further processing are removed and not processed further if no unrecognized sheet material is assigned to them.
  • the sensor device and control device recognize that no unrecognizable sheet material is assigned to a separation card if, during processing, a further separation card follows a separation card or if a separation card is the last piece of sheet material to be processed.
  • separation cards to which no sheet material is assigned or which are the last piece of sheet material to be processed, controlled by the control device, in the second output unit are transported and stored, with the sensor device and the control device recognizing that no sheet material is assigned to a separation card if a further separation card follows a separation card, or if the separation card is the last piece of sheet material to be processed.
  • the advantage of the development can be seen in particular in the fact that it sorts out separating cards in the second output unit during the first processing and does not have to be processed further, to which no sheet material is assigned or which are the last piece of sheet material to be processed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a basic structure of a bank note processing machine for processing different groups of sheet material
  • FIG. 2 an arrangement of several groups of sheet material with associated separator cards
  • FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of several groups of sheet material with associated separation cards from FIG. 2, after a first processing by the bank note processing machine.
  • FIG. 1 shows a basic structure of a banknote processing machine 100 for processing different groups of banknotes or deposits.
  • the bank note processing machine 100 has an input unit 110 into which the various deposits are placed.
  • a separator 111 Connected to the input unit 110 is a separator 111, which removes the separation cards and individual banknotes of the various payments from the input unit 110 and transfers them to a transport system 120.
  • the transport system 120 transports the separation cards and the individual banknotes through a sensor device 112, which determines data from the banknotes that, for example, enable conclusions to be drawn about authenticity, condition, denomination, etc.
  • the separator cards are recognized in the sensor device 112 and information contained on the separator card is detected by the sensor device 112 .
  • the determined data of the banknotes and the recorded information of the separator cards are transferred to a control device 140 which evaluates the data and information and thus controls the further flow of banknotes or separator cards through the banknote processing machine 100 .
  • the control device 140 acts on switches 121 to 124, which are components of the transport system 120 and allow the banknotes or separator cards to be transported and stored, ie sorted, in output units 130 to 139 according to predetermined criteria.
  • the output units 130 to 139 can be designed, for example, as spiral slot stackers which use rotating units to store the banknotes or divider cards 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, which have spiral compartments, in trays 131, 133, 135, 137, 139.
  • the separation cards are used to identify the limits of different deposits in automatic bank note processing.
  • the separator cards allow rejected banknotes, i. H. Banknotes that cannot be processed are distinguished from one another and assigned to the respective deposit, e.g. B. banknotes that were classified as incorrect, unrecognizable or otherwise prob- lematically when checked by sensor device 112 and control device 140, e.g. B. because more than one individual banknote was detected by the singler 111.
  • the separation cards and the banknotes to be rejected are output and stored in a first special output unit 130, 131, a so-called reject compartment.
  • the separation cards are documents that can be separated, transported and stacked in the banknote processing machine 100 like banknotes. Their design is designed in such a way that they can be clearly distinguished from banknotes and can therefore be recognized by the banknote processing machine 100 .
  • the separation cards differ from the banknotes to be processed in terms of physical properties such as size, shape and thickness, imprint, color and pattern or other features such as magnetic areas.
  • a separator card may contain conductive elements that are printed or otherwise applied to the separator card. These conductive elements can also be reliably detected in the case of multiple deductions, ie if, instead of one banknote or separator card, several banknotes or banknotes and separator cards are detected by the singler 111, with a Verde- cking of the separation cards results. It is of particular advantage if these patterns differ so clearly from conductive elements on banknotes (e.g. security thread or other applied conductive security elements) that even in the case of multiple deductions with shingled banknotes, the presence of a separation card is not erroneously indicated or an existing separator card is not recognized.
  • banknotes e.g. security thread or other applied conductive security elements
  • One possibility here is to apply several conductive bars to the separator card and to design the evaluation in such a way that separator card recognition only responds when at least three or four of these bars are present.
  • the use of conductive patterns has ren over known procedural z. B. on the basis of magnetic bars, which also allow a detection in case of occlusion, the advantage that the conductivity is largely independent of the distance to the detecting measuring system and thus has a higher reliability.
  • Another advantage is that the conductivity can also be detected when the transport system is at a standstill or running very slowly, while the magnetic evaluation shows that the signal strength is dependent on the transport speed.
  • Such conductive elements can be detected, for example, by sensors that feed in a high-frequency electric field at one point and have a receiver for high-frequency fields at another point. If there is a conductive transmission path, there is capacitive coupling between the transmitter and receiver and thus reliable verification.
  • Inductive elements or antenna coils attached to it are other ways of reliably detecting a separator card. These can be wound in the form of a flat coil using a conventional method, or they can be printed on as a coil using conductive paint. Proof can be provided, for example, by feeding in a high-frequency electrical - Take place lo's field and through the interaction of this coil in the form of influencing the frequency of an oscillating circuit formed with the transmitter elements.

  • the banknote BN3 should not be editable, e.g. B. because it was recognized by the Steuerein device 140 as a forgery. For this reason, the banknote BN3 is also deposited in the special output unit 130, 131. All further banknotes BN4 to BN6 of the second deposit should be processable so that they are deposited in one of the output units 132 to 139 according to their denomination and their respective value is offset for the second deposit.
  • the third and fourth deposits are then processed by bank note processing machine 100 .
  • the separator card TK3 for the third deposit is stored in the special output unit 130, 131, the banknotes BN7 to BN10 for the third deposit should be processable so that they are stored in one of the output units 132 to 139 according to their denomination and their respective value for the third deposit will be offset.
  • the separation card TK4 of the fourth deposit is stored in the special output unit 130, 131, the banknotes BN11 to BN13 of the fourth deposit should be processable, so that they are stored in one of the output units 132 to 139 according to their denomination and their respective value for the fourth deposit will be charged.

  • Certain banknote processing machines have two special output units, i.e. reject compartments, so that the first of the special output units is used for separator cards, to which banknotes are assigned after the first processing, whereas the second special output unit is used for separator cards, which after the no banknotes are assigned to the first processing.
  • the separating card TK2 for the second deposit is deposited in the special output unit 130, 131, since the non-processable banknote BN3 is assigned to it.
  • the separation card TK1 of the first deposit is picked up by the separator 111 and transferred to the transport system 120, which transports the separation card TK1 through the sensor device 112.

  • the separator 111 then detects the separation card TK2, which in combination with the sensor device 112 and the control device 140 also acts as a Separator card is recognized. From the fact that the separating card TK1 is followed by the separating card TK2, the control device 140 can deduce that the separating card TK1 is not assigned a banknote that cannot be processed. For this reason, the control device 140 activates a switch 122 in order to deposit the separation card TK1 in the second special output unit 132, 133.
  • the singler 111 detects the bank note BN3, sensor device 112 and control device 140 can deduce from this that it cannot be a case of a separator card, since the separator card-typical features described above are missing. For this reason, the separation card TK2 for the second deposit is stored in the first special output unit 130, 131. If the banknote BN3 that cannot be processed during the first processing can be recognized and thus processed during the second processing, its value for the second deposit is offset, and the banknote BN3 is deposited in one of the output units 134 to 139, e.g. B. according to their denomination. If the banknote BN3, which cannot be processed during the first processing, cannot be recognized during the second processing either and therefore cannot be processed, it is stored again in the first special output unit 130 to 131.
  • the separator card TK3 for the third deposit is detected by the singler 111, followed by the separator card TK4 for the fourth deposit. Since separating card TK3 is immediately followed by separating card TK4, separating card TK3, to which no non-processable bank note is therefore assigned, is stored under the control of control device 140 in second special output unit 132, 133. Controlled by the control device 140, the separation card TK4 for the fourth deposit can also be deposited in the second special output unit 132, 133, since it is the last to be processed piece of sheet material, which in the present example is not followed by any further banknotes or separator cards and the separator card TK4 is therefore not assigned a banknote that cannot be processed.
  • the fact that the separation card TK4 is the last piece of sheet material to be processed can be determined by the control device 140, for example, by a sensor being arranged in the input unit 110, e.g. B. a light barrier whose signals are evaluated to detect that the input unit 110 is empty. If such a check is not possible, the separation card TK4 must be transported and stored in the first special output unit 130 to 131, since another separation card does not immediately follow TK4.
  • bank note BN3 from the second deposit, the following situation thus arises after the second processing. If the banknote BN3 that cannot be processed in the first processing was processable in the second processing, only the separation card TK2 is located in the first special output unit 130 to 131. The other separation cards TK1, TK3 and TK4 are located in the second special output unit 132, 133. Bank note BN3 was charged for the second deposit and deposited in one of the output units 134 to 139.
  • the first special output unit 130 to 131 contains the separation card TK2 and the banknote BN3.
  • the other separation cards TK1, TK3 and TK4 are located in the second special output unit 132, 133.
  • the separation cards TK1, TK3 and TK4 can thus be removed from the second special output unit 132, 133 without further processing steps being necessary.
  • the separation card TK2 can also be removed from the first special output unit 130 to 131 without further processing steps being necessary. In this case, the processing of the four deposits is complete.
  • the separation card TK2 and the bank note BN3 must be removed from the first special output unit 130 to 131 and processed again.
  • separation cards TK1, TK3, TK4 which are not assigned unrecognized banknotes or which are the last piece of sheet material to be processed, are controlled only during the second or further processing of the banknotes and separation cards by the control device 140, in the second special issue unit 132, 133 to be transported and stored.
