Patent number: 10452906Abstract: Currency bills are transported past an image scanner to one or more output receptacles. Each of the bills is imaged to produce image data from which a visually readable image of each bill can be reproduced. The serial number, denomination, and/or secondary identifiers of a bill is attempted to be extracted and/or determined from the image data associated with the bill. The serial number of the bill has an integer number, X, of characters. One or more of the X characters of the serial number of the currency bill is not extracted with a predetermined confidence. In response to failing to extract all of the X characters of the serial number of the bill with the predetermined confidence, a serial number field in an electronic record associated with the bill is populated with a serial number snippet image. The electronic record is stored in a non-transitory memory.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: CUMMINS-ALLISON CORP.Inventors: Douglas U. Mennie, Antony D.

Patent number: 9195889Abstract: A method of processing a deposit transaction includes populating, using a teller terminal, a data file associated with the deposit transaction with a customer account number located on a physical deposit slip associated with the deposit transaction. The deposit slip further includes a total currency bill deposit amount. Physical currency bills associated with the deposit transaction are received in an input receptacle of a document processing device. Each of the received physical currency bills associated with the deposit transaction are denominated using the document processing device to obtain a total value for the physical currency bills.
