Abstract
A method for processing value documents comprises the following steps: by means of a camera device an action of an operator of a value-document processing apparatus is captured. The captured image data are processed by means of an image processing device and at least one predetermined gesture is extracted from the processed image data. An input information item for the value-document processing apparatus is then allocated to the extracted gesture. The input information is provided in the value-document processing apparatus and processed there. The input information can represent a control information item or a data input information item.
Claims19
A method for processing value documents, comprising the steps of:
- capturing an action of an operator of a value-document processing apparatus by means of a camera device and generating image data of the captured action;
- processing the generated image data by means of an image processing device;
- extracting at least one gesture from the processed image data by the image processing device, the gesture being composed of two or more consecutive partial gestures, at least one partial gesture designating a specific module of the value-document processing apparatus;
- allocating the at least one gesture to an input information item for the value-document processing apparatus, the input information item including a control information item for the specific module of the value-document processing apparatus designated with the partial gesture;
- providing the input information in the value-document processing apparatus;
- and
- processing the input information by the value-document processing apparatus.
A system for processing value documents, comprising a camera device, an image processing device and a value-document processing apparatus, wherein the camera device is adapted to capture an action of an operator of the value-document processing apparatus and to generate image data of the captured action, the image processing device is adapted to process the image data generated by the camera device and to extract at least one gesture from the processed image data, the gesture being composed of two or more consecutive partial gestures, at least one partial gesture designating a specific module of the value-document processing apparatus, and the value-document processing apparatus is adapted to process an input information item allocated to the gesture that is provided in the value-document processing apparatus, the input information item including a control information item for the specific module of the value-document processing apparatus designated with the partial gesture.
A method for processing value documents, comprising the steps of:
- capturing an action of an operator of a value-document processing apparatus by means of a camera device and generating image data of the captured action;
- processing the generated image data by means of an image processing device;
- extracting at least one gesture from the processed image data by the image processing device;
- allocating the at least one gesture to an input information item for the value-document processing apparatus, wherein a data input information item concerning a property of a processed value document is allocated to the at least one gesture as input information;
- providing the data input information item concerning the property of the processed value document in the value-document processing apparatus;
- and
- processing the data input information item concerning the property of the processed value document by the value-document processing apparatus,
- wherein the data input information item concerning the property of the processed value document serves to automatically capture corresponding properties of processed value documents, while an operator processes the value documents manually.
