  • Method and apparatus for identifying MICR characters
    Patent number: 7702143
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reading MICR characters is disclosed, in which both magnetic and optical data may be read and stored. Each type of data is analyzed to identify possible character values. In one disclosed analysis method, the data is first evaluated in a coarse analysis then analyzed using a fine analysis which may lead to the identification of characters. The analysis of characters may involve generating frequency spectrum data from scanned data and assigning character values based on the frequency spectrum data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 20, 2006
    Date of Patent: April 20, 2010
    Inventors: Larry Adelberg, Bradley Singletary
  • Method and apparatus for identifying MICR characters
    Patent number: 7680317
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for reading MICR characters is disclosed, in which both magnetic and optical data are read and stored. Each type of data is analyzed to identify possible character values and a confidence level associated with each identified value. The result of the analysis for each type of read data are then analyzed together to finally identify characters.
