Patent number: 9898710Abstract: Apparatus, methods, media and code for routing a mail item part are provided. A receiver device may electronically receive: an indication that a first mail item part of a mail item is a check; an indication that a second mail item part of a mail item is a payment coupon; and an indication that a third mail item part of a mail item is a message. A processor device may: route the first mail item part and the second mail item part to a first destination; and route the third mail item part to a second destination that corresponds to terms in the message.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Mark D. Felse, David T. Frew, John B. Hall, Tessa R. Cooke

Patent number: 9679269Abstract: Apparatus, methods, media and code for routing a mail item are provided. A conveyor in mechanical communication with a mail item registration station may include a processor for registering a first part of the mail item. The processor may: determine that: the first part is a payment part; and a second part that corresponds to the first part is exceptional; identify a destination that corresponds to the first part; and route the first part to the destination along with an indication corresponding to the missing second part.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Mark D. Felse, David T. Frew, John B. Hall, Tessa R. Cooke

Patent number: 9597714Abstract: Apparatus, methods, media and code for routing a mail item part are provided. A receiver may receive an image of the mail item part. A processor may decompose a segment of the mail item part into a string vector; quantify a first closeness between the string vector and a first library vector that corresponds to a first mail item part destination; and quantify a second closeness between the string vector and a second library vector that corresponds to a second mail item part destination; and link to the image routing information to route the mail item part to that of the first and second mail item part destinations that corresponds to the greatest of the first and second closeness. A transmitter may transmit the image to that of the first and second mail item part destinations that corresponds to the greatest of the first and second closeness.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Mark D. Felse, David T. Frew, John B. Hall, Tessa R. Cooke

Patent number: 9466044Abstract: Apparatus, methods, media and code for routing a mail item are provided. The apparatus may include a processor device; and machine readable memory. The processor device may be configured to: assign a unique destination identifier to an organizational entity; aggregate into an aggregate documents that were addressed to the entity and received by the entity; and store in the machine readable memory the unique destination identifier and a library that includes unique terms in the aggregate.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Mark D. Felse, David T. Frew, John B. Hall, Tessa R. Cooke

Patent number: 9390393Abstract: Apparatus, methods, media and code for routing mail items to different destinations. A driven mail conveyor may receive: a first mail item that includes a paper envelope displaying in an addressee segment an institution name and institution address information, the first mail item including a first part; and a second mail item that includes a paper envelope displaying in the addressee segment the institution name and the institution address information and no other institution address information, the second mail item including a second part. A processor may electronically route, based on a first text string vector of the first part, the first mail item to a first mail item destination in the institution; and, based on a second text string vector of the second part, the second mail item to a second mail item destination in the institution.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Mark D. Felse, David T. Frew, John B. Hall, Tessa R. Cooke

Patent number: 9299069Abstract: Apparatus for electronically notifying an individual of an incomplete transaction associated with a received correspondence item is provided. The apparatus may include a receiver for receiving a single paper correspondence item associated with a first correspondence. The apparatus may include a processor for deriving a digital image from the paper correspondence item. The processor may be configured to determine, based on the derived digital image, whether the correspondence item is a paper check. In response to the determination of the correspondence item as a paper check, the processor may be further configured to use a real-time notification channel to notify the individual of receipt of the paper check. The notification may be based, at least in part, on the identification of the individual. The processor may be further configured to use the real-time notification channel to present at least one option for identification of an account to which the check should be applied.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2013Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Bank of America CorporationInventors: Mark D. Felse, Theresa M. Brennan, Jr., Tessa R. Cooke, Lawrence E. Fouts, David T. Frew, Dewayne A. Furr, John B. Hall, Michele N. Hanshew, Nidhi Pinjani, James K. Benton
