Currency bills are transported past an image scanner to one or more output receptacles. Each of the bills is imaged to produce image data from which a visually readable image of each bill can be reproduced. The serial number, denomination, and/or secondary identifiers of a bill is attempted to be extracted and/or determined from the image data associated with the bill. The serial number of the bill has an integer number, X, of characters. One or more of the X characters of the serial number of the currency bill is not extracted with a predetermined confidence. In response to failing to extract all of the X characters of the serial number of the bill with the predetermined confidence, a serial number field in an electronic record associated with the bill is populated with a serial number snippet image. The electronic record is stored in a non-transitory memory.

Apparatus and system for imaging currency bills and financial documents and method for using the same

Currency bills are received, transported, and imaged to produce image data from which a visually readable image of each currency bill can be reproduced. Each of the currency bills includes a denomination, a serial number, and a set of secondary identifiers. One of the currency bills is determined to be a suspect bill. The suspect bill serial number is attempted to be extracted from the image data associated with the suspect bill. In response to failing to extract a complete serial number of the suspect bill, a serial number field in a suspect report is populated with a serial number snippet image.

A method of processing a deposit transaction includes populating, using a teller terminal, a data file associated with the deposit transaction with a customer account number located on a physical deposit slip associated with the deposit transaction. The deposit slip further includes a total currency bill deposit amount. Physical currency bills associated with the deposit transaction are received in an input receptacle of a document processing device. Each of the received physical currency bills associated with the deposit transaction are denominated using the document processing device to obtain a total value for the physical currency bills. An electronic cash-in ticket image having the total value for the physical currency bills and the customer account number is generated. The electronic cash-in ticket image is used by a proof of deposit system to balance the deposit transaction. The data file is populated with the total value for the physical currency bills.

System and method for processing banknote and check deposits

A stack of currency bills is received, transported, and imaged via an image scanner to produce image data that is reproducible as a visually readable image for each currency bill. Each of the currency bills has an associated serial number and additional identifying character information. The associated currency bill serial number and the additional identifying character information are extracted from the image data of each currency bill. Each currency bill is denominated. A suspect determination is made for each currency bill and upon a determination that a currency bill is a suspect bill, A suspect note report is automatically generated. Fields in the report are populated with information associated with the suspect bill including the extracted serial number, the extracted additional identifying character information, and the denomination of the suspect bill.

Transferring communication within a communication system (,) occurs as follows: During communication with a serving base station (,), a handover candidate list (,) is provided to the remote unit (,). The list (,) comprises a set of neighboring base stations (,) that are capable of supporting the service requirements of the remote unit (,) and does not include any neighboring base station (,) that are incapable of supporting the current service required by the remote unit.

Method and apparatus for transferring communication within a communication system

A system (101) interconnects with a communication system via standard interfaces to provide location information related to a mobile station (103) within the communication system. The system (101) includes location device equipment (121) which generates raw location information of the mobile station (103) based on input received from a message compatible with the communication system. The system (101) also includes a mediation device (118) which stores location information related to the mobile station (103) and also interfaces with radio control functionality within the communication system. The system (101) further includes a location calculator (124) which determines the location information related to the mobile station (103) based on the raw location information of the mobile station (103) and which also provides the location information related to the mobile station (103) to the mediation device (118) for storage and to an intelligent network device (106) for use in location based services (127).
