Remote capture of multiple deposit items using a grid

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and apparatuses for processing an image that shows multiple deposit items, where the image was captured by a remote capture device. For example, some embodiments provide a method that includes: (a) displaying a grid on a display associated with a remote capture device, where the remote capture device is configured to capture an image that shows multiple deposit items, and where the grid comprises a plurality of grid portions; and (b) prompting a user of the remote capture device to arrange the multiple deposit items, or to position or operate the remote capture device, such that each of the deposit items in the multiple deposit items appears in a single grid portion of the display before the image is captured.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a remote capture device, wherein the remote capture device is configured to capture an image that shows multiple deposit items; a display associated with the remote capture device, wherein the display is configured to display a grid comprising a plurality of grid portions; and a processor operatively connected to the remote capture device and the display, and wherein the processor is configured to:
prompt a user of the remote capture to provide the number of the multiple deposit items, wherein the display is configured to display a number of grid portions on the display based at least partially on the number provided by the user and a resolving power associated with the remote capture device, wherein the resolving power defines the resolution with which an image can be captured by the remote capture device;prompt the user to arrange the multiple deposit items, or to position or operate the remote capture device, such that each of the deposit items in the multiple deposit items appears in a single grid portion of the display before the image is captured;prompt the user to capture a first image, such that the first image shows the front of the multiple deposit items;prompt the user to capture a second image, such that the second image shows the back of the multiple deposit items;receive the first and second image that show the multiple deposit items;for each of the multiple deposit items, determine that a first received image and a second received image correspond to a single deposit item based on determining that (i) an identifier located on the first received image corresponds to an identifier located on the second received image and determining that (ii) the size of the first received image matches the size of the second received image;determine that the first and second image are satisfactory for identifying deposit item information;identify, based at least partially on the first and second image, the deposit item information associated with the multiple deposit items; andtransmit the deposit item information to a server located remotely from the processor, wherein the server is configured to credit an account based at least partially on the deposit item information.
