Abstract: An image of a check is captured by an imaging device and a digital image of the check on a replacement background may be created. The check may be placed on any background while the image of the check is being captured. The replacement background replaces, in the digital image, the background that the check is placed on while its image is being captured. The replacement background may comprise a predetermined image or color(s). The image of the check and the replacement background may be provided into a digital image file that may be transmitted to an institution system for deposit of the check into an account.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods for ranking location data to increase processing efficiency and user-interface usability. A method includes receiving from a client a query that defines an area, subdividing the area into a plurality of grid areas, and determining a set of locations that are disposed in the area. The method includes dividing the set of locations into a plurality of groups based on the grid area that corresponds to each respective location. Within each group, the method includes scoring and sorting the locations according to a set of criteria, and assigning a respective rank to each of the locations according to the relative position of each of the locations in the group. The method further includes recombining the locations of plurality of groups and sorting by rank to yield a grid-ranked set of locations, and sending to the client the grid-ranked set of locations.
