Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a banknote validating device for validating banknotes in a money changer or the like.

(2) Prior art and problems Currency exchange machines and automated teller machines are equipped with means for distinguishing the type and denomination of each country's banknotes. A method is adopted in which multiple discrimination patterns corresponding to type K are prepared and the sensor output (detection pattern) is compared with the discrimination pattern, but in the conventional method, the number of discrimination patterns prepared is fixed. Therefore, there is a drawback that the banknote cannot be identified by focusing on a banknote other than the identification pattern, and this causes the inconvenience of having to use another identification device.

(3) Purpose of the invention The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.
[fI11'A'I] An object of the present invention is to provide a bill validating device equipped with means that can make patterns variable.

(4) Structure of the Invention The present invention includes a detection means for detecting a pattern indicating the type of banknote, and a discrimination means for discriminating the detected pattern by a corresponding discrimination pattern, and for identifying the rarity of the banknote for which the pattern has been detected. A banknote validating device for validating a banknote, comprising: a first storage unit in which the validation patterns used for the comparison are stored; a second storage unit in which a plurality of the validation patterns are stored; and the second storage unit. control means for selecting one turn from banknote discrimination and storing it in the first storage section; 1 storage section, and distinguishes a banknote based on a detection pattern of the banknote by the detection means and a discrimination pattern in the first storage section.

(5) Examples of the Invention The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram explaining one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 182 is a flowchart explaining one embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a banknote;
2: reading port, 3: discharge port, 4: detection section, 5: switching gate section, 6: storage section, 7: file, 8ti processor, 9: control section, 10: discrimination section, 11: memory, Aij: Storage command, B is ejection command, C+) cm, an company control signal, D

1G-n Hiro AND gate, H is valve, Pl, Pl, pvn
is discrimination pattern data. In the file 7 in FIG. 1, M number of banknotes (P+ to P) are prepared, and the recognition pattern data specified by the processor 8 is read immediately after the power is turned on to the banknote recognition device. taken out,
Since several 0M discrimination patterns (p+-PJ are prepared in file 7), which is extremely large compared to the number N of 0 pattern memories stored in N pattern memories (F't-Fti), the pattern memory By replacing the contents (discrimination patterns) of F and ~F3, it is possible to handle the discrimination of many types of banknotes. Control signals C1 to C11
are all expressed as [11 (therefore, the gate is P).

As described above, the initial settings immediately after power-on determine the required (N
The discrimination pattern data of 1) are selected and stored in pattern memory F, ~F.

After that, the verification is started, and the banknote l inserted into the reading slot 2
is read by the detection unit 4, and pattern data serving as identification data of the coin is detected. Since the detector 7 has a pit extraction means for extracting a digital signal from the analog signal, the detection pattern data D of the digital signal is extracted from its output, and this data D is stored in the detection pattern memory E. I can pay it. The discrimination unit 10 extracts discrimination butter/data from the pattern memory (F, ~F!l), (P1
~ P A) is taken out 11n times and compared and verified with the detection pattern data D in the detection pattern mesori E. ◇ If the comparison results match, the storage command A is issued, so the switching gate section Valve H of 5 falls to the left, and banknote 1 falls to the left.
It is stored in section 6. Further, since the ejection command B is issued for the cash p (for which the verification result does not match), the valve H falls to the A] side, and the banknote l is ejected from the ejection port 3.

When the separation is completed, the discrimination result data (country, number of sheets, amount, etc.) is stored in the memory 11. Note that if the level of the control signals C1 to Cnr4i stored from the control unit 9 is set to "0", it will change depending on the closing of the AND gates G, ~G!1, so <turn memory F, ~ It is possible to arbitrarily control the output of Fm.Therefore, this means also allows the selection of the discrimination data (turn data (P1 to P1)). In Figure 2, which is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of a money exchange machine equipped with When the customer presses the transaction (by country) button on the exchange machine, the specified discrimination pattern data (P, ~pa) is displayed as the first button.
The file 7 shown in the figure is retrieved from the pattern memory (
F,~i'tt) is set in O Next, when the banknote is inserted into the reading slot, the damage type and amount of the banknote are verified, and after the exchange amount is first displayed and confirmed, the payment cash is counted. (6) Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention makes it possible to deal with the discrimination of any type of banknotes by making the discrimination pattern data variable. However, it has the advantage of reducing the number and types of currency exchange machines and automated teller machines.
