An automated banking machine operated responsive to data bearing records includes a card reader that is operative to read data from user cards including financial account identifying data, and to cause financial transfers responsive to the card data. The automated banking machine includes a sheet accepting device. The sheet accepting device is operative to receive a stack of sheets and to separate each sheet from the stack. Each sheet is aligned with a sheet path and analyzed by analysis devices including at least one magnetic read head, an imager, and/or a validation device. Sheets determined to have at least one property of a genuine sheet are processed and stored in the machine.

Banking system controlled responsive to data bearing records

An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor displays a fingerprint enrollment interface and detects, on the fingerprint sensor, a plurality of finger gestures performed with a finger. The device collects fingerprint information from the plurality of finger gestures performed with the finger. After collecting the fingerprint information, the device determines whether the collected fingerprint information is sufficient to enroll a fingerprint of the finger. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device enrolls the fingerprint of the finger with the device. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is not sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device displays a message in the fingerprint enrollment interface prompting a user to perform one or more additional finger gestures on the fingerprint sensor with the finger.

Device, method, and graphical user interface for manipulating user interfaces based on fingerprint sensor inputs

A system and method for automatically providing content associated with captured information is described. In some examples, the system receives input by a user, and automatically provides content or links to content associated with the input. In some examples, the system receives input via text entry or by capturing text from a rendered document, such as a printed document, an object, an audio stream, and so on.

Automatically providing content associated with captured information, such as information captured in real-time

A device for capturing rendered text is described. The device incorporates one or more visual sensors that receive visual information as a part of capturing rendered text. The visual sensors are collectively capable of capturing both text that is permanently printed on a page, and text that is displayed transitorily on a dynamic device. The device further incorporates a visual information disposition subsystem for disposing of visual information received by the visual sensors. The device further incorporates a package that bears the visual sensors and the visual information disposition subsystem, and is suitable to be held in a human hand.

Handheld device for capturing text from both a document printed on paper and a document displayed on a dynamic display device

A portable device having scanning, imaging or other data-capture capability is described. In some cases, the portable device can indicate to the user when enough information has been captured to uniquely identify a source document. In some cases, the portable device calculates timestamps and location-stamps indicating when and where a data capture occurred. In some cases, the portable device is controlled by gestures. In some cases, the portable scanning device has associated billing and content/service subscription information.

Data capture from rendered documents using handheld device

In order to utilize memo data written by hand for purposes of retrieving a document, the original document image data is stored and, thereafter, a document image data with memo is separately input, the document image data with memo being comprised of the original document image onto which is additionally written memo data by hand. The position of the document image data with memo is then brought into alignment with the original document image data and is correlated to extract only that memo data which has been written by hand. Then the kind of memo is discriminated, the process is effected depending upon the kind of memo, and the memo data is stored in a secondary data file for retrieval. To retrieve the document, the memo data of a plurality of documents is read out from the secondary data file depending upon the kind of memo that is designated, and is displayed as a look-up table. If the operator designates any one of them, the image of the corresponding original document is read out from the original document image file and is displayed.

Method of storing and retrieving image data

A biometric authentication apparatus 200 for performing user authentication based on finger/palm print information representing a biological characteristic of fingerprint or palm print and vein information representing a biological characteristic of vein, comprises: 
a finger/palm print information acquirer 102 arranged and adapted to obtain finger/palm print information from a selected portion of a person; 
a vein information acquirer 130 arranged and adapted to obtain vein information from the selected portion of the person; 
a sensor 104; 105 arranged and adapted to come in contact with the selected portion of the person and to output a signal corresponding to a pressing degree of the selected portion of the person against the sensor; 
a controller 101 arranged and adapted to identify, responsive to the signal output from the sensor, whether a state of the selected portion of the person is suitable for obtaining the finger/palm print information and the vein information and to control the finger/palm print information acquirer and the vein information acquirer to obtain the finger/palm print information and the vein information according to a result of the identification; and 
a user authenticator 110 arranged and adapted to perform user authentication based on the finger/palm print information and the vein information.

Biometric authentication apparatus and biometric authentication method

Lower resolution video signals (10) having alternating odd fields (12) and even fields (14) are stored in an odd line memory 20A and an even line 20B, respectively. An interpolator 22 interpolates adjacent odd and even lines. A selector 24 cyclically selects odd, even, and interpolated lines in a pre-selected pattern, such as one of the patterns illustrated in FIGS. 1, 7, 8A-F, and 9A-F. By selecting even, odd, and interpolated lines, the number of lines per picture is increased to produce a higher resolution video signal (30).

Video system for displaying lower resolution video signals on higher resolution video monitors

A display control apparatus comprises area specifier, area determiner and signal selector The area specifier specifies at least one area of a bit map memory The area determiner determines whether the scan position on the bit map memory is in the specified area or not, and, according to the determination, controls the signal selector so as to send the output of the bit map memory directly or through a look-up table to a display unit In a modification, the signal selector selects the signal to be sent to the display unit from among the outputs of different look-up tables

Display control apparatus

The invention provides a content delivery system, a delivery server, a receiving terminal, and a content delivery method. The transmitting terminal can transmit a content held by itself to a specific receiving terminal having no email software as if using a mailer. The transmitting terminal (10) and the receiving terminal (20) are connected to a delivery server (30) via a network (4). The delivery server (30) comprises: a database (36) for registering the device ID that specifies the receiving terminal (20); a content storage (39) for temporarily storing a content transmitted from the transmitting terminal (10); and tables (33, 37) for managing contents separately on a per device ID basis of the receiving terminal. The delivery server (30), when receiving a request from the receiving terminal (20), refers to the tables (33, 27) and transmits to the receiving terminal (20) a content, the transmission destination of which corresponds to the device ID of the receiving terminal (20).
