MiniCheck ID Introduction Existing System Technologies required Understanding diagram Project Requirements Prototype References


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


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


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


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.

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.


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.


Technologies required

.NET and C# MS-Access


Understanding Diagram


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


Requirements Integrate M-250 scanner into the existing MiniCheck to read

magnetic stripe and barcodes and display the information.

M-250

Features:Reads Magnetic Stripe2 Dimensional Bar Code ReadingBuilt-in High Performance 3 Track

Magnetic Stripe ReaderDoesn’t require API


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 ImagerReads MICR Card Image Scanning

Requirements


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


Requirements Improving User interface

Replace radio buttons by check boxes

Increase window size

Provide Configuration tab in the User Interface window


Prototype
