First Claim
1. A document processing system for processing a deposit transaction including a plurality of documents, the system comprising:
- a display;
one or more processors;
an input receptacle configured to receive currency bills and checks associated with the deposit transaction;
an image scanner configured to produce image data associated with currency bills and checks received in the input receptacle, the image data being reproducible as visually readable images of at least a portion of a respective currency bill or a respective check;
a transport mechanism configured to transport the currency bills at a first transportation speed along a transport path from the input receptacle past the image scanner and to transport the checks at a second transportation speed along the transport path from the input receptacle past the image scanner; and
one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause the document processing system to implement the acts of;
displaying on the display a first prompt to a user to insert currency bills associated with the deposit transaction;
after receiving the currency bills in the input receptacle, transporting the currency bills, one at a time, at the first transportation speed along the transport path;
imaging the currency bills with the image scanner to produce image data associated with each of the currency bills;
displaying a second prompt to the user of the document processing system to insert checks associated with the deposit transaction;
after receiving the checks in the input receptacle, transporting the checks, one at a time, at the second transportation speed along the transport path;
imaging the checks with the image scanner to produce image data associated with each of the checks; and
generating a virtual deposit slip for the deposit transaction, the virtual deposit slip at least partially formed from information extracted from the produced image data associated with the currency bills and the checks.

Abstract
A first prompt is displayed to insert a deposit slip that includes declared information. The deposit slip is received, transported at a first speed, and imaged. A total declared cash-in amount and a total declared check amount are extracted from image data associated with the deposit slip. The total declared cash-in amount is determined to be a non-zero number. A second prompt is displayed to insert currency bills. The currency bills are received, transported at a second speed, and imaged. Deposit information is generated from image data associated with each of the currency bills. The deposit information at least includes a calculated total cash deposit amount. The deposit information is compared with the declared information to determine if the deposit transaction is balanced.

16. A method of processing a deposit transaction on a document processing device, the deposit transaction involving a plurality of documents including currency bills and checks, the method comprising the acts of:
-
displaying a first prompt on the document processing device to insert currency bills associated with the deposit transaction; receiving the currency bills associated with the deposit transaction in an input receptacle of the document processing device; transporting the currency bills, one at a time, at a first transportation speed along a transport path from the input receptacle past an image scanner; imaging the currency bills with the image scanner to produce image data associated with each of the currency bills, the image data associated with each individual currency bill being reproducible as a visually readable image of at least a portion of a respective currency bill; displaying a second prompt on the document processing device to insert checks associated with the deposit transaction; receiving the checks associated with the deposit transaction in the input receptacle of the document processing device; transporting the checks, one at a time, at a second transportation speed along the transport path from the input receptacle past the image scanner; imaging the checks with the image scanner to produce image data associated with each of the checks, the image data associated with each individual check being reproducible as a visually readable image of at least a portion of a respective check; and generating a virtual deposit slip for the deposit transaction via one or more processors associated with the document processing device, the virtual deposit slip at least partially formed from information extracted from the produced image data associated with the currency bills and the checks. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
