Publication number: 20240101361Abstract: A system may include a transaction card reader configured to detect an identifier of a transaction card to be affixed to a card carrier, a card carrier reader configured to detect an identifier of the card carrier, a transaction card stager comprising a plurality of compartments each configured to hold a transaction card, and a processor. The processor may receive, from the transaction card reader, the identifier of the transaction card, receive, from the card carrier reader, the identifier of the card carrier, and determine whether the identifier of the transaction card corresponds to the identifier of the card carrier. Based on the determination that the identifier of the transaction card corresponds to the identifier of the card carrier, the processor may select a first compartment of the plurality of compartments to place the transaction card.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: FISERV, INC.Inventors: Joel Harris, Ray Stuck, Jon Gates, Corey Dean Tunink, Jay E.

Patent number: 7537204Abstract: Systems and methods for processing sheets, statements, and/or inserts prior to mailing are provided. One sheet processing system includes a receiver adapted to receive first and second single page sheets to be processed. The first sheet originates from a stack of first sheets, and the second sheet originates from a stack of second sheets. In some systems, the first and second sheets are of different sizes. The system includes a first read head adapted to read a first identifier from the first sheet, and a second read head adapted to read a second identifier from the second sheet. A circuit coupled to the first and second read heads is adapted to compare the first and second identifiers to determine whether a match exists. At least one identifier may include a magnetic stripe.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2007Date of Patent: May 26, 2009Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Jay E. Greene, III, Jeff G.

Patent number: 7384040Abstract: A delivery system comprises a frame, and a plurality of hoppers attachable to the frame in a vertically spaced apart arrangement. The hoppers are each configured to hold a plurality of sheet-like materials. At least one upper belt is movably coupled to the frame, with the belt being configured to move the sheet-like materials downward from the hoppers. At least one contact roller is disposed below each hopper, and at least one suction apparatus that is associated with each hopper. A moving system is configured to move the suction apparatus toward and away from the hopper to grasp and remove one of the sheet-like materials from the hopper, and to move the removed sheet-like material downward until grabbed by the contact roller.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2005Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Corey Dean Tunink, Timothy J. Walpus, Jeffery G. Nowlin, Jay E. Greene, III

Patent number: 7363105Abstract: According to the invention, an insertion system for collating sheets of printed material for insertion into an envelope is disclosed. The insertion system includes an insertion machine, application software and an operating system. Included in the application software is a first function and a second function, where the first function performs tracking for each packet and the second function controls operation of the insertion machine. Each packet includes a plurality of pieces of printed material that may ultimately be sealed in an envelope. The operating system runs the application software at any given instant and executes the first and second functions.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2007Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Scott J.

Patent number: 7344062Abstract: A system for processing presentation instruments that includes a presentation instrument reservoir, a presentation instrument reader, a distribution stock holder, a distribution stock reader, two or more motor systems for advancing distribution stock and presentation instruments, and attaching the presentation instruments to the distribution stock when codes printed on the instruments and stock match each other. In some cases, the motor systems can interface to an interface controller via a serial interface, and the interface controller can be coupled to a process control computer via an Ethernet connection. In some cases, distribution stock is blank and has no readable code, in which case the blank stock is automatically advanced to a reject bin without interrupting the operation of system.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2004Date of Patent: March 18, 2008Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Jay E.

Patent number: 7284749Abstract: Systems and methods for processing sheets, statements, and/or inserts prior to mailing are provided. One sheet processing system includes a receiver adapted to receive first and second sheets to be processed. The first sheet originates from a stack of first sheets or a continuous form sheet, and the second sheet originates from a stack of second sheets or a continuous form sheet. The system includes a first read head adapted to read a first identifier from the first sheet, and a second read head adapted to read a second identifier from the second sheet. A circuit coupled to the first and second read heads is adapted to compare the first and second identifiers to determine whether a match exists. In this manner, the sheet processing system is able to confirm that the first and second sheets are both intended to be sent to the same customer.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2004Date of Patent: October 23, 2007Assignee: First Data CorporationInventors: Jay E.
