DOLLAR A Die Erfindung basiert auf der Idee, Mittel zur Nachbearbeitung derjenigen durch eine Prüfvorrichtung geprüften Banknoten vorzusehen, welche die vorgegebenen Stapelkriterien nicht erfüllen, wobei die Stapelkriterien insbesondere die Anzahl und/oder Seriennummern der gestapelten Banknoten betreffen. Diese Mittel können z. B. Ersatzdokumente, wie Trennkarten, oder Ersatzbanknoten in den Stapel der nachzubearbeitenden Banknoten einfügen. Diese Mittel können zudem entweder Bestandteil der Prüfvorrichtung selbst sein, um eine automatische Nachbearbeitung von fehlerhaften Banknotenstapeln zu ermöglichen, oder z. B. auch in einer separaten Vorrichtung integriert sein, an der die nachzubearbeitenden mittels der Prüfvorrichtung geprüften und gestapelten Banknoten nachbearbeitet werden. Die Nachbearbeitung wird dabei vorzugsweise automatisch unterstützt oder vollautomatisch erfolgen. The invention relates to a system for processing documents of value, in particular for quality control of newly produced banknotes. DOLLAR A The invention is based on the idea of providing means for reworking those banknotes tested by a test apparatus which do not fulfill the predetermined stacking criteria, the stacking criteria in particular relating to the number and / or serial numbers of the stacked banknotes. These agents can z. B. insert replacement documents, such as separation cards, or substitute notes into the stack of banknotes to be reworked. These means may also be either part of the tester itself to allow automatic post-processing of faulty bills stack, or z. B. also be integrated in a separate device to which the nachzubearbeitenden checked by the tester and stacked notes are post-processed. The post-processing is preferably automatically supported or fully automatic.

Banknote handling device

FIELD: physics. SUBSTANCE: method includes inputting information characterising counting batches, separating banknotes of each counting batch one by one, verifying said banknotes, and distributing according to verification results thereof into issuing units of the handling machine. Banknotes recognised during verification are added by a control device to the corresponding counting batch and moved into an allocated issuing unit. Banknotes not recognised during verification are divided by the control device into two groups, the first of which includes separate banknotes not recognised during verification, for which a measurement-converting device and the control device are capable of determining the identification feature characterising a specific banknote, and the second group includes banknotes not recognised during verification, the identification feature of each of which cannot be determined by the measurement-converting device and the control device.

Method and apparatus for medium genuine/counterfeit discriminating, auto teller machine

본 발명은 UV 영상의 색상 비율을 가지고 매체 진위를 판단하기 위한 매체 진위 판별 방법 및 장치, 그리고 이의 자동화기기에 관한 것이다. 본 발명은 매체 권종을 제일 먼저 판단한다. 상기 판단된 매체의 전체 영상 값에 대한 소정 색상 영상의 비율 값을 계산한다. 특히 'B' 영상비율 값을 이용하는 것이 좋다. 그리고 상기 계산된 'B' 영상비율 값과 대응하는 기준비율 값을 비교하고, 그 비교 결과에 따라 매체의 진위 여부를 판단한다. 즉 상기 'B' 영상비율 값이 기준비율 값보다 크면 위조 지폐로 판단하고, 상기 영상비율 값이 기준비율 값보다 작으면 정상 지폐로 판단한다. 이와 같은 본 발명에 따르면 간단한 연산만으로 진위 판별이 가능하고 이에 처리속도의 향상과 실시간 처리가 가능한 이점이 있다. The present invention relates to a medium authenticity discrimination method and apparatus for judging the authenticity of a medium with a color ratio of a UV image, and an automatic apparatus thereof. The present invention firstly judges the medium type. And calculates a ratio value of a predetermined color image to a total image value of the determined medium. Especially, it is better to use 'B' image ratio value. Then, the calculated 'B' image ratio value is compared with a corresponding reference ratio value, and the authenticity of the medium is determined according to the comparison result. That is, if the 'B' image ratio value is larger than the reference ratio value, it is determined that the counterfeit bill is a counterfeit bill. If the image ratio value is smaller than the reference ratio value, According to the present invention, it is possible to distinguish authenticity only by a simple operation, and it is possible to improve a processing speed and real-time processing.
