MAGNETORESISTIVE DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTION OF MAGNETIC IMAGE OF BANK NOTES

摘要

A system and method for obtaining a fill image of a bank note being processed. At least one magnetoresistive detector is employed to obtain line-scan sensings of a bank note as the note passes. A central processing unit obtains the sensing as magnetic pattern data which is subsequently stored in a database for processing.

1. A system for automatically detecting the magnetic features of a bank note, the system comprising:
a transport device capable of transporting a bank note; a data processing device capable of executing stored program instructions; a data storage device operably coupled with the data processing device; a first detector device operably coupled with the data processing device, the first detector device comprising at least one magnetoresistive sensor positioned proximate the transport device and oriented so as to enable detection of the magnetic features of the adjacent surface of the passing bank note; wherein the data processing device is capable of executing stored program instructions comprising:
reading the output of the first detector device to capture the magnetic pattern data of the adjacent surface of the passing bank note;storing the captured magnetic pattern data in the data storage device; andmaking a determination regarding final processing of the bank note based upon the magnetic pattern data; and a strapper, wherein the strapper straps a plurality of bank notes into a bundle.
