Abstract
An imaging device provides a mobile device multi-feed scanner, which may utilize remote data capture for multi-sheet feed scanning by using mirrors to form a reflective path allowing the viewing of the reverse side of the check on a platform to capture the check image on a mobile device. A camera on the mobile device may either sequentially or simultaneously capture a picture of both the front and back sides of the check. The platform may include a transparent portion, which may be adjacent to a stage portion. The first and second mirrors may be positioned such as to allow imaging of a reverse side of an object through the transparent portion of the platform while the object rests on the stage portion.
Claims20
An imaging device comprising:
- a motorized check feed stand comprising:
- a transparent platform having an upper side and a reverse side opposite the upper side;
- and
- first and second mirrors positioned relative to the transparent platform to allow imaging of a
- reverse side of an object placed on the transparent platform with a camera of a mobile device while simultaneously imaging an upper side of the object, opposite the reverse side of the object, with the camera of the mobile device.
A method for capturing an image of an object comprising:
- placing an object on a transparent platform of a stand, wherein the transparent platform has an upper side and a reverse side opposite said upper side;
- placing a mobile device having a camera on an imaging tray of the stand;
- and
- activating an application on the mobile device, connected to the stand via Bluetooth and/or NFC technologies, to capture an image of a front side and a reverse side of the object;
- wherein a first mirror, a second mirror, and the transparent platform are collectively configured to allow imaging of the reverse side of the object placed on the transparent platform with the camera of the mobile device while simultaneously imaging the front side of the object, opposite the reverse side of the object, with the camera of the mobile device.
An imaging device comprising:
- a stand comprising:
- an imaging tray;
- a platform, the platform having an upper side and a reverse side opposite the upper side;
- a first mirror;
- and
- a second mirror,
- wherein the platform comprises a lens such that the apparent focal distance between a reverse side of an object and the imaging tray is substantially the same as the apparent focal distance between the upper side of the platform and the imaging tray.
