Remote image capture with centralized processing and storage
First Claim
1. A method for central management, storage and verification of at least one paper transaction from at least one of electronic transactions, documents, and receipts, the method comprising:
- scanning paper receipts by way of at least one remote data access subsystem to create transaction data;
capturing and sending the transaction data from at least one remote subsystem location to at least one data collection subsystem;
capturing a remote data access terminal identificationutilizing an encrypting subsystem with identification information and encrypting the transaction data prior to sending said encrypted data to a data collection subsystem;
utilizing the data collection subsystem to send said encrypted data and the remote data access terminal identification to a central subsystem;
utilizing said at least one central subsystem to manage the capturing and sending of the transaction data;
collecting, processing, sending and storing the transaction data within said at least one central subsystem;
utilizing at least one of said at least one central subsystem to manage the collecting, processing, sending, and storing of the captured transaction at a central location, including comparing transaction data to stored transaction data for verification; and
transmitting the transaction data within and between at least one of the at least one remote subsystem location and the central location.

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.
