Abstract: One aspect of the disclosure provides a point-of-sale terminal system. The system includes a till, a bill manipulator, and a bill acceptor. The till has a plurality of slots, with each slot being configured to hold currency in the form of bills. The bill manipulator is coupled to the plurality of slots, and a bill acceptor is coupled to the bill manipulator. The bill manipulator moves individual bills from the till to the bill acceptor and the bill acceptor outputs bills to a currency storage unit. The system also includes a processing device configured to determine a number of bills in each of the plurality of slots, to determine a number N indicating a number of bills to remove from a slot of the plurality of slots based on the number of bills in the slot, and to command the bill manipulator to transfer N bills from the slot.

Abstract: A document scanner is disclosed. The document scanner includes a document bed having a document positioning surface. The document scanner further includes a scanner module slidably attached to the document bed. The scanner module includes an optical movement sensor configured to detect movement of the scanner module relative to the document positioning surface. A method of operation of the scanner module is disclosed as well.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a safe are disclosed. The system includes a safe having one or more networked devices, a mobile computing device, and a virtual safe controller server (VCF). The VCF server is configured to initiate a control session of the safe, determine a role of the user, transmit an instruction to the mobile computing device indicating one or more graphical user interfaces to display based on the role of the user, receive a command from the mobile computing device via the network, and transmit the command to the networked device over the network. The control session provides a user of the mobile computing device control of the networked devices. The role of the user is indicative of actions that the user has permission to perform on the networked devices. The command indicates a commanded action to be performed on a networked device.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a document processor and electronics connected to the document processor. The electronics includes a document sensor system and means for determining a document processing situation of a plurality of document processing situations. The document sensor system is connected to the means. The plurality of document processing situations include a single document situation and a double document situation. The double document situation includes a partially-overlapped, double document situation and a completely overlapped, double document situation. A method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A sub-assembly of a document processor that routes at least one document from an input hopper, along a document path and to an output bin is disclosed. The document processor includes a flag movably-arranged within the input hopper to/from a closed orientation and an open orientation; a rod fixed to and extending from the flag, wherein the rod includes an outer surface; a cam member including a camming surface, wherein the camming surface is communicatively-coupled to the outer surface of the rod; a driven shaft connected to the cam member, wherein the cam member further includes a one-way clutch, wherein the driven shaft extends through the one-way clutch; and a feed motor connected to the driven shaft. A method for operating the sub-assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: A document processor and method of use are disclosed. In one aspect, a document processor includes a path of travel of a document, a magnetic ink character reader, and an image scanner. The magnetic ink character reader is located along the path of travel and positioned to read magnetic characters printed on a document passing along the path of travel. The image scanner is located along the path of travel and oriented to capture an image of a surface of a document passing along the path of travel. The document processor also includes at least one drive mechanism located along the path of travel and configured to guide a document along the path of travel in a first direction during operation of the magnetic ink character reader, and further configured to guide the document along the path of travel in a second direction opposite the first direction during operation of the image scanner.

Abstract: A document scanner and associated feedback mechanism are disclosed. The document scanner includes a document bed including a document positioning surface, and a scanning module slidably connected to the document bed, the scanning module manually movable across the document positioning surface. The document scanner further includes a feedback mechanism arranged to receive information about a speed of movement of the scanning module, and output a feedback signal to a user of the document scanner.

Abstract: A check capture device is disclosed. The check capture device includes a housing including a secure check storage area. The check capture device further includes a check scanner configured to electronically capture information from one or more checks. The check capture device also includes control logic configured to route checks successfully scanned by the check scanner into the secure check storage area. A method of capturing check information is also disclosed.
