摘要:
An apparatus for currency discrimination comprises first and second stationary scanheads, disposed on opposite sides of a bill transport path, for scanning respective first and second opposing surfaces of a bill traveling along the bill transport path and for producing respective output signals. The bill travels along the transport path in the direction of a predetermined dimension of the bill. A memory stores master characteristic patterns corresponding to associated predetermined surfaces of a plurality of denominations of genuine bills. Sampling circuitry samples the output signals associated with the respective first and second opposing surfaces of the scanned bill. A signal processor is programmed to determine which one of the first and second opposing surfaces corresponds to the associated predetermined surfaces of the plurality of denominations of genuine bills. The processor then correlates the output signal associated with the one of the first and second opposing surfaces corresponding to the associated predetermined surfaces with the master characteristic patterns to identify the denomination of the scanned bill.

A currency counting and discrimination machine for currency bills comprises a sensing device for scanning and counting the bills, a controller coupled to the sensing device, a transport mechanism transporting the bills on a transport path, means for detecting when a currency bill is jammed along said transport path and providing a jam signal to the controller which interrupts the operation of said transport mechanism in response to a jam signal, and means for adjusting a portion of the transport mechanism to release the jammed bill in said transport mechanism.

A coin sorter is described for use in sorting coins in terms of their diameter and comprising a rotatably mounted coin-carrying disc (13) having a resilient top surface onto which coins may be fed, means (4) for rotating the disc and a guide plate (12) having a central opening and a configured lower surface positioned over and closely adjacent to the disc. The configured surface includes an inner recess (20) within which coins are free to move radially, and the inner recess extends outwardly from the central opening, the guide plate (12) forming a referencing region (30, 31) for receiving the coins from the inner recess and pressing them against the resilient top surface of the coin-carrying disc while engaging the radially outer edges of the coins of all denominations and moving the coins radially inwardly as the coins are advanced circumferentially. Thus the radially outer edges of the coins of all denominations are positioned at a common radial location and therefore the radially inner edges of the coins are positioned at different radial locations determined by the diameters of the respective coins. Sorting means (40 - 45) are also provided and arranged around the outer periphery of the guide plate for sorting coins of different denominations according to the different radial locations of the radially inner edges of the coins of different denominations, the sorting means ejecting coins of a common denomination at a common circumferential location on the periphery of the guide plate (12).

A method and system for updating financial accounts in response to a deposit transaction initiated by a customer are provided. The financial accounts are associated with the customer and the deposit transaction involving the deposits of financial documents. The documents are received in an input receptacle (7016) and transported from the input receptacle past an image scanner (7012). The scanning of the documents via the image scanner generates electronic document images, which are further processed to obtain images from the fields within the documents. The obtained information from the document field is electronically tagged to the document images. The tagged document images are transmitted to an accounting system (22) and the financial accounts of the customer are updated on the basis of the field information tagged to the images.
摘要:
A currency evaluation device (10) for receiving a stack of currency bills and rapidly evaluating all the bills in the stack. The device comprises an input receptacle (12) and a plurality of output receptacles (217a, 217b) for receiving the bills after they have been evaluated. A transport mechanism transports the bills, one at a time, from the input receptacle to the output receptacles along a transport path. A discriminating unit (247) including a detector positioned along the transport path between the input receptacle and the output receptacles evaluates the bills. The discriminating unit determines the denomination of the bills and detects the occurrence of a plurality of error conditions. The evaluation device also comprises an interface (15) that permits a user of the evaluation device to specify how the plurality of error conditions are to be handled.
摘要:
A currency counting and discrimination device for receiving a stack of currency bills, rapidly counting and discriminating the bills in the stack and then restacking the bills comprises and input receptacle, a discriminating unit and one or more output receptacles for receiving the currency bills after being discriminated, a transport mechanism for transporting said bills one at a time from the input receptacle passed the discriminating unit to said one or more output receptacles and one or more counters keeping track of the value of the bills, value indicating means for an operator of said device to indicate the value of any bills the denomination of which is not determined by the discriminating unit, said means appropriately effecting said one or more counters, wherein the operation of said device is suspended when the discrimination unit is unable to identify the denomination of a bill.
摘要:
A currency counting and discrimination device for receiving a stack of currency bills comprises an input receptacle for receiving a stack of currency bills, a discriminating unit for discriminating said currency bills as having one or more denominations, an output receptacle for receiving the currency bills after being discriminated and a transport mechanism transporting said currency bills, one at a time, from said input receptacle past said discriminating unit and to said output receptacle, said transport mechanism comprising stripping means for stripping the lowermost bill from a stack of bills in the input receptacle.
摘要:
A document processing system comprises an input receptacle for receiving documents. A transport mechanism receives the documents from the input receptacle and transports the documents past a full image scanner and a discrimination unit. An output receptacle receives the documents from the transport mechanism after being transported past the full image scanner and the discrimination unit. The full image scanner includes means for obtaining a full video image of said documents, means for obtaining an image of a selected area of said documents, and means for obtaining information contained in said selected area of said document. The discrimination unit includes means for determining the authenticity of said document. A system controller directs the flows of documents over the transport mechanism.
