DATABASE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM

摘要

A method for database retrieval is provided. The method may include receiving a history datastore. The method may include receiving a payment, i.e., a paper check. The method may include simultaneously scanning the check into a grayscale image and black and white image. The method may include reviewing each pixel on the black and white image alone and in combination with surrounding pixels to determine an arrangement of shaded pixels. When the arrangement of shaded pixels is determined to be above a predetermined threshold of similarity to a predefined set of characters, the method may determine a subset of characters and store the subset of characters in a memory. The method may include crawling the history datastore to determine information which corresponds to the subset of characters stored in memory and retrieving the corresponding information. The method may include showing the corresponding information and the payment on a GUI.

1. A database retrieval system comprising:
a direct deposit account (“DDA”) history datastore; a receiver configured to receive a payment, said payment consisting of a paper check; a scanner configured to simultaneously:
scan the check into a grayscale images;scan the check into a black and white image; a processor configured to electronically review each pixel on the black and white image alone and in combination with surrounding pixels to determine an arrangement of shaded pixels; when the arrangement of shaded pixels is determined to be above a predetermined threshold of similarity to a predefined set of characters, the processor, using optical character recognition software, is further configured to determine a subset of characters, said subset being based on the arrangement of shaded pixels, and store the subset of characters in a computer-readable memory; the processor further configured to crawl the DDA history datastore to determine information which corresponds to the determined subset characters stored in the memory; the processor further configured to retrieve the corresponding information; a graphical user interface (“GUI”) comprising:
the black and white image which is toggalable between the grayscale image and the black and white image;the retrieved information which corresponds to the determined characters in the memory;an account number text entry field, which accepts user input corresponding to an account number; andan amount text entry field, which accepts user input corresponding to a dollar amount of the check.
