Problems solved by technology
In addition, both devices are bulky and require complex control devices to provide complex sorting functions
A problem with such a complex device is that it requires a thorough understanding of the device and the classification method
These machines are adapted to handle large quantities of banknotes, so the time required to sort small stacks of banknotes is relatively long
In addition, due to the internal implementation of multiple classifications, errors are likely to occur, which is also obscure to the operator.

Embodiment approach
[0131] exist Figure 4 A second embodiment of the invention is shown in . The method shown here also uses figure 1 The two-bag classifier shown in 1 was performed. As before, a stack of banknotes to be sorted is placed on the device at step S400 and the banknotes are fed through the device at step S405 to detect characteristics of the banknotes such as authenticity and fitness for use. Although the invention has been described in relation to truth and fitness, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that any other criteria may also apply. At step S410, the detection of authenticity and fitness characteristics for each banknote allows all banknotes deemed authentic and suitable for reuse ("ATM FIT") to be sorted to a first destination, pocket P1. In step 5415, the data obtained by the device 1 about each banknote may be stored in memory as each banknote is sorted. This data could be banknote characteristics, serial or issue numbers, value, etc. This thus results in...

A method of sorting a plurality of articles is disclosed, and an apparatus for carrying out the method. The method comprises the steps of detecting one or more characteristics of each article; sorting any articles whose detected characteristics meet a first set of predetermined criteria to a first destination; sorting any other articles to a second destination; determining both whether any of the articles sorted to the second destination have detected characteristics which meet a second set of predetermined criteria and whether any of the articles sorted to the second destination have detected characteristics which do not meet a second set of predetermined criteria; the second destination contains one or more articles with detected characteristics that meet the second set of predetermined criteria and one or more articles with detected characteristics that do not meet the second set of predetermined criteria, as determined in the previous step, if sorting any articles from the second destination whose detected characteristics meet the second set of predetermined criteria to a third destination; and sorting any other articles from the second destination to a fourth destination.
Description
technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for sorting objects, and a device for implementing the method. The disclosed technique and apparatus are particularly suitable for sorting items of value, eg currency including banknotes and coins, in addition to other documents such as securities, tokens, checks and the like. The invention will thus be described primarily in relation to its use with banknotes, but it will be appreciated that the method and apparatus are equally suitable for sorting other objects. Background technique [0002] A variety of banknote sorters are known, including a multi-bag sorter such as that described in US-A-5394992. This sorter has two pockets - into which the sorted banknotes are output. A stack of banknotes to be sorted is input into a device that uses sensors to detect characteristics of each banknote and outputs the banknotes to one or the other of the pockets based on the detected characteristics. In this way, banknotes ident...
