Method of duplicate check detection in a check image capture application
First Claim
1. A method of duplicate check detection in a remote check image capture application, the method comprising:
- receiving check image data which is representative of an image of a check provided by a user at a remote check image capture device;
storing the check image data in a check item database;
determining a hash result based upon the check image data received from the user; and
comparing the hash result with other hash results stored in a hashing database to determine if there is a match and thereby to allow a determination to be made as to whether the check image data received from the user is representative of a duplicate check provided by the user at the remote check image capture device.

Abstract
A method of duplicate check detection in a remote check image capture application comprises receiving check image data which is representative of an image of a check provided by a user at a remote check image capture device, storing the check image data in a check item database, determining a hash result based upon the check image data received from the user, and comparing the hash result with other hash results stored in a hashing database to determine if there is a match and thereby to allow a determination to be made as to whether the check image data received from the user is representative of a duplicate check provided by the user at the remote check image capture device.

6. A method of operating a back office facility of an institution, the method comprising:
-
receiving check image data which is representative of an image of a check provided by a user at a remote check image capture device; storing the check image data in a check item database; determining a hash value based upon the check image data received from the user; storing the hash value in a hashing database; comparing the hash value with other hash values already stored in the hashing database to determine if there is a match; concluding that the check provided by the user at the remote check image capture device is not a duplicate check when there is no match based upon the comparison of the hash value with the other hash values already stored in the hashing database; and concluding that the check provided by the user at the remote check image capture device may be a duplicate check when there is a match based upon the comparison of the hash value with the other hash values already stored in the hashing database. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A program storage medium readable by a computer having a memory, the medium tangibly embodying one or more programs of instructions executable by the computer to perform method steps for detecting a duplicate check in a remote check image capture application, the method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving check image data which is representative of an image of a check provided by a user at a remote check image capture device; (b) storing the check image data in a check item database; (c) determining a hash result based upon the check image data received from the user; and (d) comparing the hash result with other hash results stored in a hashing database to determine if there is a match and thereby to allow a determination to be made as to whether the check image data received from the user is representative of a duplicate check provided by the user at the remote check image capture device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)
