Atomic deposit transaction
First Claim
1. An atomic deposit transaction method, comprising:
- instantiating a remote deposit transaction including providing user authenticating credentials to a server at an institution;
generating a digital image file of a physical negotiable instrument via a general purpose imaging device, the general purpose imaging device coupled to a user owned computing device;
providing the digital image file of the physical negotiable instrument to the server at the institution for processing via a communications connection between the user owned computing device and the institution for deposit of the physical negotiable instrument into a deposit account of the user;
failing to provide any user-specified end-of-transaction information to the institution after providing the digital image file to the institution, the digital image file being processed by the server at the institution to deposit funds of the physical negotiable instrument into the deposit account of the user, without the server at the institution receiving any user-specified end-of-transaction information from the user owned computing device after receiving the digital image file; and
receiving information at the user owned computing device pertaining to the processing of the digital image file and the depositing of funds of the physical negotiable instrument into the deposit account.

Abstract
A user may generate a digital image of a negotiable instrument such as a check. The digital image may be transmitted to an institution in a digital image file for deposit of the check. After the user selects to submit the digital image file, the digital image file may be sent from a user computing device to the institution. The user computing device may be decoupled from the transaction once the submission of the digital image file for deposit of the check is made. The transaction is thereafter managed by the institution. Incomplete transactions are avoided by moving the transaction processing to the server side at the institution after the user submits the digital image file. This may be referred to as an atomic deposit transaction.

15. A system for atomic deposit transaction, comprising:
-
a memory; a processor disposed in communication with said memory, and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor issues instructions to; instantiate a remote deposit transaction including providing user authenticating credentials to a server at an institution; generate a digital image file of a physical negotiable instrument via a general purpose imaging device, the general purpose imaging device coupled to a user owned computing device; provide the digital image file of the physical negotiable instrument to the server at the institution for processing via a communications connection between the user owned computing device and the institution for deposit of the physical negotiable instrument into a deposit account of the user; fail to provide any user-specified end-of-transaction information to the server at the institution after providing the digital image file to the institution, the digital image file being processed by the server at the institution to deposit funds of the physical negotiable instrument into the deposit account of the user, without the institution receiving any user-specified end-of-transaction information from the user owned computing device after receiving the digital image file; and receive information at the user owned computing device pertaining to the processing of the digital image file and the depositing of funds of the physical negotiable instrument into the deposit account. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24)
