PAPER-SHEET RECOGNITION DEVICE AND PAPER-SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A paper-sheet recognition device includes a sensor that detects the paper sheet being transported one by one to be recognized; an image capturing unit that captures an image of the paper sheet detected by the sensor; a recognition processing unit that recognizes the type of the paper sheet based on the paper sheet image captured by the image capturing unit; and a power consumption controller that controls power consumption by operating the image capturing unit and the recognition processing unit in a normal mode until the recognition of the paper sheet is completed after the paper sheet is detected by the sensor, and by stopping the operations of the image capturing unit and the recognition processing unit in a power-saving mode after completion of the recognition process.
