Patent Images
1. A device for automatically capturing an image, comprising:
- a camera operable to capture an image;
a movement sensor operable to sense movement;
a memory operable to store entity data, wherein the entity data associates a user of the device to an entity code;
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the movement sensor, and the camera, and operable to;
determine whether the entity code is authorized to deposit a check;
when the entity code is authorized to deposit the check;
determine a stabilization parameter of the camera using the movement sensor;
determine a stabilization threshold, the stabilization threshold determined from one or more previous stabilization parameters;
determine whether the stabilization parameter is greater than the stabilization threshold; and
instruct the camera to capture the image of the check if the stabilization parameter is greater than the stabilization threshold; and
a graphical user interface communicatively coupled to the processor and operable to display the stabilization parameter.

Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a check'"'"'s image is automatically captured. A stabilization parameter of the mobile device is determined using a movement sensor. It is determined whether the stabilization parameter is greater than or equal to a stabilization threshold. An image of the check is captured using the mobile device if the stabilization parameter is greater than or equal to the stabilization threshold.
