Patent number: 11170357Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure can include systems, methods, computer-readable media, techniques and methodologies for transactional document processing. Users can utilize documents to complete transactions. A user device, such as a point of sale (POS) device may be used to enter user information as well as capture an image of a check. A financial service server, in communication with the POS device, may forward the request to a document analysis server. The document analysis server may use the information received from the POS device to determine whether the document is approved to be used in a transaction. The document analysis server may obtain financial information from an image of the check. The document analysis server may use the user information and financial information to obtain additional information (e.g., credit history, transaction history, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: FIRST DATA CORPORATIONInventors: Brian Green, Charles R. Williams

Patent number: 9785921Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems and methods for processing decoupled debit transactions. In one embodiment, a system is provided. The system can include a device with a camera and a graphical user interface, and the system can further include a server. The device can identify received user information for a first transaction provided by a user to the graphical user interface of the device. The camera can capture an image of a check for the first transaction. The device can generate a first transaction message comprising the user information and the image of the check. The device can send the first transaction message to the server. The device can identify an indication received from the server that the user is approved for enrollment in a decoupled debit program, and the device further identifies an identifier received from the server for a decoupled debit program account. The graphical user display can display the indication to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Charles McGinnis, Christopher J. Baehr, Charles R. Williams

Patent number: 9501706Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer-readable media related to employing adaptive multi-feature semantic location sensing methods to estimate the semantic location of a mobile device. An image of a transaction document may be captured. The captured image to a processing server for processing magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) information from the captured image of the transaction document may be transmitted. A processing result of processing the MICR information from the captured image of the transaction document may be received. The processing result of the MICR information with the captured image of the transaction document may be compared. In response to the comparison, the MICR information to a payment verification server may be submitted for verification.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Charles R.
