Method and apparatus for check stack visualization
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for visualizing, verifying, and editing content of a document from a stack of documents used in a transaction using one display screen of a receptacle, comprising:
- receiving a stack of three or more documents in a receptacle;
scanning each of the documents to obtain electronic images representing each of the documents, each of the electronic images including text;
concurrently displaying each of the electronic images representing the three or more scanned documents onto a single screen of said receptacle, the electronic images being arranged in an overlapping manner to provide a three-dimensional effect;
receiving a selection of one of said displayed electronic images for content verification, the selection having been made by a user based on the concurrently displayed electronic images representing the scanned documents;
receiving at the receptacle any edits to be made to content of the scanned document represented by the selected electronic image;
receiving an indication that said user unselected said selected electronic image, wherein a font size of the text of the unselected electronic images varies based on a location of the unselected electronic image on the screen of said receptacle; and

Abstract
A Check Stack Visualization technique is provided and allows an automated teller machine (ATM) user to see a stack of checks on one screen for check amount confirmation. Customers see all the checks on one screen and indicate that the amounts are correct and click to deposit the checks. In one preferred embodiment, a three dimensional (3D) list is used to display the checks on a Bezier curve along with the amounts highlighted. If the optical character recognition (OCR) process failed on a check amount, the technique highlights the check amount in red. If the customer does not think the check amount is correct, the customer can click on the small check image which brings up a larger check image and they can edit the amount. Once the customer is satisfied that the numbers are correct, the customer can click on a deposit all check button to complete the transaction.
