摘要:
A method of processing documents includes receiving a stack of documents including currency bills and substitute currency media. Each substitute currency medium has at least one barcode. The method further includes transporting the stack of documents via a transport mechanism, one document at a time, along a transport path and denominating with a currency detector each of the currency bills in the stack of documents. The currency detector is positioned adjacent to the transport path. The method further includes scanning with a barcode scanner a barcode on each substitute currency medium in the stack of documents. The barcode scanner is positioned adjacent to the transport path. The method further includes imaging with an image scanner each substitute currency medium in the stack of documents to generate a raw image file of the substitute currency medium. The image scanner is positioned adjacent to the transport path.

A ticket reading system comprising a portable head section with an aperture and means for removably affixing the head section to a stationary fixture; in the head section, a camera with a field of view over the aperture to read visible code elements of a ticket; an RFID antenna and module adjacent to the aperture to read RFID/NFC code elements from a device or tag; a wireless network communication module to communicate data packets among a processor and a wireless network access point; means for ticket validation feedback; instructions which cause: receiving a ticket identifier value from the camera or RFID module; sending a request via the wireless network for a server computer to validate the ticket identifier value; receiving a ticket validation response from the server computer; based upon the response, driving the means for providing ticket validation feedback to generate either valid response feedback or invalid response feedback.

摘要:
An apparatus and method for automatically printing, reading and otherwise treating an information-carrying document, particularly apparatus having a mechanically dividable circular pathway for reading and otherwise processing ATB-ticket (Automated Ticket/Boarding document) at airport passenger gates, so-called gate readers (8), and a method in which such apparatus is used. The gate reader (8) includes a simple, dividable ticket cylinder (16) which lacks a casing and which includes a drive motor (9A), drive belts (9B, 9C), a first cog wheel (9D) which is firmly mounted on the body of the gate reader (8) and which functions to drive a second cog wheel (9E) mounted on one side of the drive wheel (22) and concentrical with the drive shaft (21). For the purpose of discharging separated ticket parts, the gate reader (8) is also provided with ticket switching devices (17A, 17B, 17C, 17D, 17E) of particular construction and mounted in a particular manner, and also with means for dividing an ATB-ticket (1) into its separate parts.
摘要:
A multi-format document printer and processor has a plurality of data writing and reading means for data in different formats, disposed along a transport path. Forms are separated from a continuous perforated form supply and advanced along the transport path. Bidirectional drive rollers disposed along the path advance the documents and reverse them for reprocessing as necessary. At the end of the transport path, the documents are routed to an exit hopper or a reject hopper and a sensor at the exit detects already-issued forms manually loaded by an operator, which already-issued forms can be likewise bidirectionally processed for reading, verification, modification and the like. The processor is preferably embodied for transportation tickets and boarding passes, having: optical character recognition (OCR) write and read devices, magnetic strip write and read devices and a dot matrix printer having an array of print heads operable to print a document in one pass. Reversible feed and take-up spools for a wide ribbon movably disposed under the dot matrix array are provided with separate bidirectional two-speed drives. Movable tension arms along the ribbon path detect a near-empty condition of either of the spools by timing the rate at which the tension arms are deflected with the spools operating at different speeds.

A ticket validation device that is protected from debris ingression includes a validator housing defining a ticket entry bezel. The ticket entry bezel defines a first and second major sides and shorter connecting regions that connect the two major sides. The device includes an acceptor assembly that transports a ticket to a ticket reader device and at least one flap positioned between the acceptor assembly and the ticket entry bezel. The flap is biased against one of the first major side or the second major side of the entry bezel. A ticket-side of the flap is pushed away from the one of the major sides by the ticket when inserted into the ticket entry bezel such that the ticket scrapes between a distal end of the flap and the one of the major sides to remove any loose debris from the ticket prior to the ticket reaching the acceptor assembly.

An image forming apparatus includes a code number generator that generates, when an operation reception unit receives user's designation of a number of tickets to be issued, a code key, and an encryption method, an encrypted code number for each of the designated number of tickets, with respect to each ticket number sequentially allocated to the designated number of tickets, using the designated code key and encryption method, a distinction image generator that generates, for each tickets, a distinction image containing the code number generated for each of the ticket, and a controller that adds, in each of the designated number of tickets, the distinction image of each of the tickets generated by the distinction image generator, to image data of an original of the ticket read by a document reading unit, and causes a printing unit to print each of the designated number of tickets.
摘要:
The present invention is an apparatus and method for validating a ticket to an event, which is being sold or otherwise transferred in the aftermarket. A management system maintains the status of a ticket, either committed or uncommitted, along with a ticket ID and other ticket and event information. An event entry system requires presentation of a ticket and, if the ticket has been committed, a correct current passkey. The passkey identifies the person presenting the ticket as the owner of the ticket. Ticket validation and uncommitment functionalities are also provided by an after-market ticket validation system.
摘要:
A self-service currency processing machine includes a user control panel, a coin hopper configured to receive input bulk coins, and a coin processing module configured to sort the input bulk coins by denomination and output the coins, via operation of at least one controller-controlled diverter, along a specified path to a coin receptacle station comprising at least one plastic coin bag. The machine also includes a controller configured to selectively distribute coins of one or more denominations to a selected plastic coin bag in the coin receptacle station responsive to an instruction received from one of the user control panel or a host system communicatively coupled to the machine via a communication interface and a bag sealing device configured to seal the selected plastic coin bag following receipt of the predetermined number of coins of one or more denominations in the selected plastic coin bag.
