Image processing
First Claim
1. An image processing system comprising:
- a memory;
a processor in communication with said memory, and configured to;
provide an instruction to a depositor at a depositor-computing device to align an edge of a check along an edge of an image capture region of the depositor-computing device to define an aligned edge;
receive, via a network from a depositor-computing device, a file comprising an image of the check having the aligned edge;
receive, via the network from the depositor-computing device, an indication of where, in the image, an edge other than the aligned edge of the check is located, wherein the indication is a representation of manual input that is input to the depositor-computing device; and
determine which portion of the image to present for processing based on the indication.

Abstract
An image of a check may be presented for payment in a banking system in place of the physical paper check. The check to be deposited can be collected from a depositor using a scanner. A web site, accessed through a depositor'"'"'s web browser, can be used to drive the process of collecting the check, but in some contexts (e.g., in less popular computing environments, such as those that do not run the most popular operating systems), it is economically infeasible to obtain the certificates that would be used to allow a program executing in the web browser to control the scanner. Thus, a depositor can be instructed to capture and upload images of the check in the form of files, where the image files are then presented for payment through a banking system.

13. A processor-implemented check deposit method, comprising:
-
receiving, via a network from a depositor computing device, a file comprising an image of a check, where at least one edge of the check in the image is defined by an edge of the image; receiving, via the network from the depositor computing device, an indication of where, in the image, an edge of the check other than the at least one edge is located, wherein the indication is a representation of manual input that is input to the depositor computing device; determining which portion of the image to present based on the indication; and presenting at least the portion of the image to a banking system. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-readable instructions configured for execution using a network browser running on a depositor-controlled computing device, the instructions configured, upon execution to:
-
instruct a depositor at a depositor-controlled computing device to align an edge of a check along an edge of an image capture region of the depositor-controlled computing device to define an aligned edge; enable the depositor on a depositor-controlled computing device to input an indication of an edge other than the aligned edge of the check in a digital image of the check, wherein the indication is a representation of manual input that is input to the depositor-controlled computing device; receive input of the indication of the edge of the check in the digital image of the check from the depositor of the depositor-controlled computing device; and send, via a network, the digital image of the check having the aligned edge and the indication of the edge other than the aligned edge.
