Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling a device for storing and dispensing banknotes with a plurality of each receiving a banknote chambers and an electronic control system, wherein banknotes of particular significance, which are provided for an output, stored in the chambers and output therefrom and banknotes of other valence are stored in a cash register.
  • the WO 01/69545 A2 shows a memory device or a method for controlling the refilling of a monetary store, which can be filled in different proportions of monetary items - hereinafter referred to as banknotes - of different denominations (scores) to capacity and can give the banknotes of selected nominal values, which he during a Transaction.
  • banknotes - of different denominations cores
  • the decision as to whether a banknote to be stored is sent to memory depends on how many banknotes of the same denomination are currently stored in the memory.
  • the decision depends on whether the number of stored notes of this denomination is less than a predetermined threshold, with respective thresholds for different denominations. Depending on the threshold for banknotes of particular denominations, the respective bill is either stored in the chambers of the store or directed to the cash register.
  • the DE 100 33 374 A1 discloses an apparatus for storing and dispensing banknotes, in particular for coin-operated entertainment apparatus, which comprises a banknote input and output, a conveying path with a transport device and a banknote storage device which can be moved transversely to the conveying path.
  • the banknote storage device consists of a multiplicity of chambers accommodating one banknote each, which are formed by tension-loaded adjacent plates, to which at least one plate-spreading device is assigned.
  • two plates are movable away from each other. The banknote is moved into or out of the chamber and the adjacent plates move back into their original position in the banknote storage.
  • the shows DE 100 51 224 A1 an apparatus for storing and dispensing banknotes, which comprises a banknote checker for input and output banknotes, a banknotes input and output, a conveying path with a transport device and a banknote store movable transversely to a conveying path opening.
  • the banknote storage consists of a plurality of each receiving a banknote, closed on one side chambers. These are formed by dividing walls which are mechanically adjustable linearly to the conveying path opening. For receiving or dispensing a banknote one of these associated partition is movable out of the banknote memory, the banknote from or to the transport device can be transferred and the partition again moved to its original position in the banknote memory.
  • banknote storage devices described above are frequently used in vending machines and money-operated entertainment devices and are coupled with banknote validators.
  • coin validators and coin storage devices are installed in these devices to give users ggfls. to repay any surplus funds or to pay out profits. Due to the limited space available in these devices, the banknote storage devices have a relatively small number of chambers for receiving banknotes.
  • a vending machine manufacturer or manufacturer defines the valences of the banknotes to be stored in the banknote storage, which are used for Payout are determined and populates the empty banknote memory with appropriate banknotes to ensure a payout of the same.
  • banknotes of the banknote storage are filled up with banknotes entered by users whose valency corresponds to the valency stored in an electronic control unit. Since usually only two weights of banknotes are provided for storage in the banknote memory, there is a problem with regard to the capacity of the banknote memory and thus with regard to the payout capability of the device.
  • banknotes of low value are provided for direct payout and thus for storage in the banknote store, and banknotes of high value are transported directly into the cash register.
  • the banknote store is set in such a way that, for example, banknotes with the values 5, - EUR and 10, - EUR are stored in the chambers, then the device is only partially disbursable, if frequently banknotes of great value, namely for example 20, - or 50, - EUR banknotes, to be used for payment on the device. If the banknote store is set up to store high-value banknotes, for example 20, and 50, EUR banknotes, the problem arises that payment of banknotes only takes place at relatively high repayment amounts and smaller amounts are repaid in coins become. However, this repayment or payout behavior is not accepted by the users of the devices who want to receive the smallest possible amount of coins when repaying.
  • the object is achieved in that, depending on a minimum value stored in the control electronics and maximum value for the number of banknotes of particular significance, the banknotes are either stored in the chambers for output or directed into the cash register, the minimum value and / or the maximum value is changed by the control electronics depending on the number of entered and / or dispensed banknotes of particular significance, the sum of all maximum values greater than the number of chambers and the sum of all minimum values are less than or equal to the number of chambers, wherein in the control electronics a target value for the number of banknotes of a given valence is stored and the banknotes with the least valence, the number of which is greater than the target value, are primarily issued from the chambers, and that banknotes of particular valence are issued in an issuing process until they reach their minimum value issued and after reaching the minimum value of banknotes of particular significance during a dispensing banknotes are issued with next higher significance, with a fall short of the minimum value only in those cases where it is mandatory for
  • banknotes weighted by their value in the banknote storage to store, wherein a plurality of weights can be provided, which are determined after usual deposits or withdrawals, to ensure both the refilling of the banknote memory by entering banknotes and its disbursement ability.
  • banknotes of low value often come to payoff, for example, the banknote with the value 5 EUR is assigned a relatively high minimum value and also a high maximum value, while a banknote with a high value of 50 EUR, for example, which is neither frequent is deposited yet paid, both a small minimum value and small maximum value is assigned, so that a banknote of this value is usually directed to the cashier.
  • banknotes of a given value in an issuing process until it reaches its minimum value ensures that in a subsequent issuing process banknotes of this value up to their minimum value are available for disbursement stand.
  • target value is carried out a regulation of the occupancy of the chambers of the banknote memory and a control of the banknote output.
  • the banknotes are preferably directed into any chamber of the apparatus, the control electronics both detecting free chambers and storing the valency of the bins occupying the chambers together with associated characteristics of the chamber ,
  • the banknote memory in an incoming bill in such a way that the bill passes into a specific chamber for storage. Rather, the bill is promoted to the next available chamber.
  • the banknote store is brought into the position in which the nearest chamber with the banknote of corresponding significance is located.
  • the maximum value and / or the minimum value are adapted by the control electronics as a function of the valencies of the banknotes passing through a bill validator upstream of the device. For example, if the banknote store is housed in a device where high-value banknotes are frequently deposited and relatively high amounts are paid, higher ones become available Minimum or maximum values for medium-value banknotes are stored, while for frequent payment with low-value banknotes, the minimum and maximum values for medium and high-value banknotes are reduced and which are increased for banknotes of low value.
  • the minimum value and the maximum value of a banknote of particular significance are set to zero. Accordingly, the banknote of this value does not reach the banknote store but is deposited directly in the cash register.
  • the operator of the banknote storage has the easy way to determine which weights of banknotes on the banknote storage come to pay and which valences are promoted directly into the box office.
  • a control electronics of a bank note storage are for banknotes of certain weights, namely 5, - EUR, 10, - EUR, 20, - EUR and 50, - EUR, respectively defined a minimum value, a maximum value and a target value, the sum the maximum value is greater than the number of banknote receiving chambers of the banknote memory.
  • the control electronics checks the occupancy of the chambers of the banknote memory with regard to the valency of the banknotes received therein and whether a number of banknotes of this significance corresponding to the minimum value is present in the banknote store. If this is not the case, the deposit of the banknote entered takes place in a free chamber of the banknote store and is thus intended for payment.
  • banknotes of the lowest value are always first output in the banknote store, and then the banknotes having the next highest priority are taken into account.
  • Minimum, maximum and target values are not fixed values but can be changed by the control electronics depending on the number of given and / or dispensed banknotes of particular significance to ensure both the banknote storage disbursement and the preferred conveyance of high value banknotes to ensure the cash register.
