Abstract (en)

A solution for controlling an automatic banknote dispenser is proposed. A corresponding method (700) comprises presenting (703-715) a set of one or more banknotes to be dispensed to a user in response to a withdrawal request, said presenting the banknotes comprising transporting the banknotes from the inside of a safe towards an external dispensing opening on a user side by passing through a barrier structure being open for allowing a transit of the banknotes while the external dispensing opening is closed, closing the barrier structure for blocking an access to the safe at least partially, and opening the external dispensing opening while the barrier structure is closed thereby bringing the banknotes to a withdrawal position, returning (772-778) the banknotes being not withdrawn into the automatic dispenser in response to a missing withdrawal of the banknotes within a withdrawal period from the presentation thereof to the user, said returning the banknotes being not withdrawn into the automatic dispenser comprising closing the external dispensing opening, opening the barrier structure while the external dispensing opening is closed, and returning the banknotes being not withdrawn into the safe through the barrier structure being open while the external dispensing opening is closed, verifying (718-769) an analysis zone corresponding to the banknotes in the withdrawal position in correspondence of the withdrawal period, and disabling (771-784) at least said opening the barrier structure and said returning the banknotes being not withdrawn into the safe of said returning (772-778) the banknotes being not withdrawn into the automatic dispenser according to a variation of the analysis zone.
