    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for handling currency notes that includes an input and output unit, a sensor unit to ascertain the denomination of the currency notes deposited, a collective receiving bin to accept currency notes of all denominations and at least two recycling receiving bins to which currency notes can be taken with the aid of a transport unit and from which they can be removed again. A control unit is provided in addition in which data are stored for each recycling receiving bin about which denominations can be accepted in said bin. After the currency note is deposited, the control unit assigns to the currency note a target storage in which said currency note is accepted. To issue a predetermined amount, the control unit ascertains which currency notes should be taken from which recycling receiving bin.

  • Publication number: 20130100291
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device (10) for handling banknotes. The device (10) comprises a display unit (12) which is tiltable about an axis of rotation (40), a drive unit (34) for changing the tilt of the display unit (12) about the axis of rotation (40), and a camera (38) for capturing an image of an area in front of the device (10) opposite to the display unit (12). The camera (38) generates image data corresponding to the image. Based on the position of a detected body feature, a control unit (36) determines a tilt angle (?) and drives the drive unit (34) such that it adjusts the determined tilt angle (?).

  • Publication number: 20130092504
    Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic cash register system which comprises a detection unit for detecting goods to be paid for, a control unit which determines an amount of money due, an input unit for supplying notes of value for payment of the determined amount of money, a sensor unit for determination of the denomination of the inserted notes of value, and an output unit for dispensing change. The control unit fixes which denominations are accepted for payment of the amount of money in dependence of at least one operating parameter, and/or fixes a maximum amount in dependence of the amount of money due, wherein the control unit controls the cash register system so that in the payment of the amount of money due only notes of value or combinations of notes of value are accepted whose value does not exceed the maximum amount.
