Abstract

A method for supplying measuring data of a value-document processing apparatus for processing value documents of stipulated different processing types, has a sensor device, a control device, and a display device. Data sets are read, which respectively contain, for at least two of the processing types, processing-type data by means of which the processing types can be distinguished and the number of the value documents of the respective processing type that are to be fed to the value-document processing apparatus, and display data for actuating the display device are so established from the data sets that, upon actuation with the display data, the display device displays the processing types and the numbers of the value documents. The display device is actuated with the display data, and measuring data are respectively captured by means of the sensor device in accordance with the displayed processing types.

First claim

1 - 23 . (canceled)

24 . A method for supplying measuring data of a value-document processing apparatus for processing value documents of stipulated different processing types, which has a sensor device for capturing at least one property of value documents transported in the value-document processing apparatus, a control device connected to the sensor device, and a display device actuated by the control device, wherein:
data sets are read which respectively contain, for at least two of the processing types, processing-type data by means of which the processing types can be distinguished and the number of the value documents of the respective processing type that are to be fed to the value-document processing apparatus, display data for actuating the display device are so established from the data sets that, upon actuation with the display data, the display device displays the processing types and the numbers of the value documents of the respective processing type that are to be fed, the display device is actuated with the display data, measuring data are respectively captured by means of the sensor device in accordance with the displayed processing types for a number of value documents fed to the value-document processing apparatus corresponding to the respective number, and the measuring data are stored.

25 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein the processing-type data enable a distinction according to value-document type and/or quality and/or authenticity and/or orientation of the value documents in a transport path or a feeding device of the value-document processing apparatus.

26 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein the data sets are read by means of a data interface of the value-document processing apparatus.

27 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein the data sets are stored in a memory of the value-document processing device and read from the memory.

28 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein at least the actuating of the display device and the capturing and storing the measuring data are effected separately for each of the data sets.

29 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein the display data are so established that for displaying the respective processing type an image of a value document corresponding to the processing type, in the orientation corresponding to the processing type, is displayed.

30 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein there are associated with the measuring data, for a value document of a processing type, data characterizing the respective processing type, for example the corresponding processing-type data, and the measuring data are stored together with the data and/or wherein the measuring data are stored, ordered according to the processing-type data.

31 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein the measuring data are transferred via the data interface or a further data interface and stored in a set-off data processing apparatus or in an external memory.

32 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein the measuring data are stored in a memory device of the value-document processing apparatus.

33 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein after capture of the measuring data for a respective data set and/or processing type it is checked whether measuring data were captured for the number of value documents stipulated in the data set or for the processing type, and, if this is not the case, an error message is outputted and displayed by the display device.

34 . The method according to claim 24 , wherein upon or after the capture of the measuring data for value documents for a respective data set and/or processing type it is checked while employing the measuring data whether the value documents corresponding to the data set or processing type have the processing type stipulated by the data set or the processing type according to a stipulated error criterion, or upon or after the capture of the measuring data for value documents for a respective data set and/or processing type it is checked while employing the measuring data whether the value documents corresponding to the data set or processing type have the value-document type stipulated by the data set and the orientation stipulated by the data set, according to a stipulated error criterion, and, if this not the case, the measuring data for value documents not having the respective processing type are not stored or deleted, and/or an error message is outputted and displayed by the display device.

35 . An apparatus for processing value documents, having
a feeding device for value documents to be processed into which value documents are introducible and out of which they are outputable in singled form, an output device in which processed value documents are depositable, a sensor device for capturing at least one property of value documents, a transport device for transporting value documents in singled form from the feeding device to the sensor device and from the sensor device to the output device, a display device for displaying operator-control data, and a control device connected via signal connections to the sensor device, the transport device and the display device, and configured for carrying out a method according to any of the preceding claims.

36 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , which further has a data interface which, for transferring data to the control device, is connected to the latter, and wherein the control device is configured for reading the data sets by means of the data interface.

37 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , wherein a memory device is provided in which the data sets are stored, or the control device has a memory device for storing the data sets, in which the data sets are stored.

38 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , wherein the control device is further so configured that at least the actuating of the display device and the capturing and storing of the measuring data are effected separately for each of the data sets.

39 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , wherein the control device is further so configured that the display data are so established that for displaying the respective processing type an image of the value document in the respective orientation is displayed.

40 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , wherein there are associated with the measuring data, for a value document of a processing type, data characterizing the respective processing type, for example the corresponding processing-type data, and the measuring data are stored together with the data and/or the measuring data are stored, ordered according to the processing-type data.

41 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , wherein the data interface and the control device are so configured that data can be transferred via it to a set-off data processing apparatus or an external memory, or wherein a further data interface is provided and the control device is so configured that data can be transferred via the further data interface to a set-off data processing apparatus or an external memory.

42 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , which has a memory device for storing the captured measuring data or wherein the control device has a memory device for storing the captured measuring data.

43 . The apparatus according to claim 35 , wherein the control device is further configured such that it is checked for a respective data set and/or processing type whether measuring data were captured for the number of value documents stipulated in the data
