5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 7 MiniCheck Introduction MiniCheck-OCR developed a front-end application called MiniCheck MGR to scan, validate and process checks and ID cards. Electronically processes checks Validates photo ID such as driver’s license and state ID’s to prevent fraud. Uses a set of advanced algorithms to decipher the electronically encoded data in either the magnetic strip or barcode

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 8 MiniCheck Introduction Combines  MICR - Magnetic Imaging Character Recognition  OCR – Optical Character Recognition Types of parsing  Check processing  Magnetic card ID’s  Barcode ID’s 1 Dimension 2 Dimension

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 9 Scanners Integrated USB Mini Swipe – Magnetic Stripe USB MiniPrint Swipe – MagnePrint Stripe USB card scan – Barcode USB MICRImage – Magnetic Stripe USB Magtek Excella STX – Magnetic, barcode and MagnePrint

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 10 Existing Standalone System Enhanced by previous Capstone Team #3. Consists of User Interface and Configuration windows. Configuration Window  Provides an option to select the required scanner.  Provides an option to select the window size User Interface Window  Displays parsed information Uses Atalasoft Imaging toolkit to capture and parse the card information and convert into meaningful information.

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 12 Existing Standalone System Integrated Software Development Kit’s of  CardScan  USB Magtek Excella STX “All-in-one”  USB MICR Image with the MiniCheck ID  MagnePrint - used MagnePrint API to get the score in backend without redirecting the user to the MagneSafe website in order to continue the transaction.

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 13 MagnePrint Technology One of the major and important scanners provided Detects counterfeit credit cards by reading a unique magnetic "fingerprint" on the stripes of credit cards and other objects that carry magnetic information. Has millions of magnetic particles that are organized in a unique way. Analyzes these particles and determines the card's "signature" number, which then can be put in a database. When a card is swiped through a designated terminal, the card's signature, or "Magneprint," can be compared to the recorded signature.

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 16 Requirements Integrate the RDM EC7000i scanner ADK with the existing MiniCheck ID to read the magnetic stripe information. RDM EC7000i Features:  Captures a high-quality two-sided binary image of the check in seconds  Bi-directional Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR)  It reads track 1,2 and 3 from the magnetic stripe

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 17 Requirements Integrate M-250 scanner into the existing MiniCheck to read magnetic stripe and barcodes and display the information. M-250 Features:  Reads Magnetic Stripe  2 Dimensional Bar Code Reading  Built-in High Performance 3 Track Magnetic Stripe Reader  Doesn’t require API

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 18 Integrate the EPSON TM-H6000II scanner ADK with the existing MiniCheck ID to capture and store the image. EPSON TM-H6000II Features:  Built in ID Imager  Reads MICR  Card Image Scanning Requirements

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 19 Requirements Integrate API’s of the Magneprint scanner into the existing application to communicate with the remote server located at Dallas. Verify Identity of the card holder to a higher level like SSN, previous address with the help of a third-party database, VERIS. Testing:  Different state ID’s  Windows Vista operating system

5/11/2015 Enhancement of MiniCheck ID 20 Requirements Improving User interface  Replace radio buttons by check boxes  Increase window size  Provide Configuration tab in the User Interface window
