Systems and methods for receiving and orienting an image of one or more checks
First Claim
1. A system for obtaining one or more images of a plurality of checks, the system comprising:
- a memory;
a processor coupled with said memory and configured to execute a plurality of instructions stored in said memory to;
receive an image of a first side of a sleeve that holds the plurality of checks, said image comprising a first portion that contains the plurality of checks, and a second portion that does not contain the plurality of checks, the sleeve including at least one marking printed on said second portion;
perform an image processing operation to distinguish said first portion from said second portion;
orient said image based on a detected orientation of the at least one marking; and
present electronically, with said oriented image, said one or more checks to be paid through a banking system.

Abstract
Images of a plurality of checks to be presented for payment may be captured through the use of a check sleeve. The check sleeve includes check-holding mechanism to hold one or more checks in place in the sleeve, and contains various types of markings or other features that allow an image of the sleeve to be oriented, and to allow the portion of the image that represents a check to be distinguished from portions of the image that do not represent a check. One or more algorithms may be used to distinguish check from non-check portions of the image, and to orient the image. The check sleeves may have one or more barcodes imprinted thereon, which may encode various types of information.

8. A method of obtaining one or more images of a plurality of checks, the method executable by a computing device including a processor and memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor, the method comprising:
-
receiving an image of a first side of a sleeve that holds the plurality of checks, said image comprising a first portion that contains the plurality of checks, and a second portion that does not contain the plurality of checks, the sleeve including at least one marking printed on said second portion; performing, by said processor, an image processing operation to distinguish said first portion from said second portion; orienting, by said processor, said image based on a detected orientation of the at least one marking; and electronically presenting, with said computing device and using said oriented image, said one or more checks to be paid through a banking system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-readable instructions executable by a processor for obtaining one or more images of a plurality of checks, the computer-readable instructions comprising instructions that:
-
receive an image of a first side of a sleeve that holds the plurality of checks, said image comprising a first portion that contains the plurality of checks, and a second portion that does not contain the plurality of checks, said sleeve including at least one marking printed on said second side; perform an image processing operation to distinguish said first portion from said second portion; orient said image based on a detected orientation of the at least one marking; and present electronically, with said oriented image, said one or more checks to be paid through a banking system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
