SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATING JURY ATTENDANCE VERIFICATION AND SERVICE PAYMENT

摘要

Systems and methods of automating jury attendance verification and service payment are provided. A juror may report to for jury duty at the date/time identified on his/her jury summons and may be asked to provide the jury summons to check in for jury duty. The juror may present his/her summons to a juror-interaction machine that may read a personal identifier included on the summons. The machine may validate the personal identifier and confirm that the juror has checked in for jury service. At the conclusion of jury service, the machine may read the juror's summons containing a personal identifier and confirm that the juror has completed jury service. The machine may then dispense a cash payment to the juror. The machine also may capture a video clip or still image of the juror using the machine for verification and/or security.
