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.
Claims16
An imaging device comprising:
- a motorized check feed stand comprising:
- an imaging tray;
- a platform, said platform having an upper side substantially orthogonal to the imaging tray and a reverse side opposite said upper side;
- and
- first and second mirrors;
- wherein the platform comprises a transparent portion;
- wherein the first and second mirrors form a reflective path allowing viewing of the reverse side of an object placed on the platform through the transparent portion of said platform.
A method for capturing an image of an object comprising:
- placing an object on a platform of a stand, wherein the platform has an upper side substantially orthogonal to an imaging tray and a reverse side opposite said upper side;
- placing a mobile device having a camera on the imaging tray of the stand;
- 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 and second mirror form a reflective path allowing viewing of the reverse side of the object placed on the platform through a transparent portion of the platform.
