Remote image capture with centralized processing and storage
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A system for central management, storage and report generation of remotely captured paper transactions from checks comprising:
- one or more remote data access subsystems for capturing and sending paper transaction data including a payer bank'"'"'s routing number, a payer bank'"'"'s routing information, a payer'"'"'s account number, a payer'"'"'s check, a payer bank'"'"'s draft, a check amount, a payee bank'"'"'s identification number, a payee bank'"'"'s routing information, and a payee'"'"'s account number, and further including subsystem identification information comprising at least one imaging subsystem for capturing the checks and at least one data access controller for managing the capturing and sending of the transaction data;
at least one central data processing subsystem for processing, sending, verifying and storing the paper transaction data and the subsystem identification information comprising a data management subsystem for managing the processing, sending and storing of the transaction data; and
at least one communication network for the transmission of the transaction data within and between said one or more data access subsystems and said at least one data processing subsystem, with the data access subsystem providing encrypted subsystem identification information and encrypted paper transaction data to the data processing subsystem.

Abstract
A system for remote data acquisition and centralized processing and storage is disclosed called the DataTreasury™ System. The DataTreasury™ System provides comprehensive support for the processing of documents and electronic data associated with different applications including sale, business, banking and general consumer transactions. The system retrieves transaction data such as credit card receipts checks in either electronic or paper form at one or more remote locations, encrypts the data, transmits the encrypted data to a central location, transforms the data to a usable form, performs identification verification using signature data and biometric data, generates informative reports from the data and transmits the informative reports to the remote location(s). The DataTreasury™ System has many advantageous features which work together to provide high performance, security, reliability, fault tolerance and low cost. First, the network architecture facilitates secure communication between the remote location(s) and the central processing facility. A dynamic address assignment algorithm performs load balancing among the system'"'"'s servers for faster performance and higher utilization. Finally, a partitioning scheme improves the error correction process.
