Abstract
A media sensing method for an automatic media dispenser for discriminating discharged media using minimum sensors is able to sense media which are discharged in abnormal status by discriminating skew of media, length of the media, thickness of the media, and a distance between successively discharged media using a feed sensor and a rotary variable differential transducer (RVDT) sensor installed on left/right sides of a transferring path on which the media are transferred after being discharged from a cassette as responding to a cash withdrawal request, and thereby an area for disposing the sensors can be reduced to minimize the dispenser, and the circuit can be constructed simply using the minimum sensors to reduce fabrication cost for the automatic media dispenser.
