PICTURE C~ECK5 This inventlon relates to a method and apparatus for printing personal bank checks or other doc~ments with a picture of e.g., the account holder OI' person otherwise identified in the document.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF TUE INVENTION
There have been several attempts in the past to incorporate a photograph in personal documents such as bank checks and other identification type documents or cards. In U.S. Patent No. 5,075,769, there is disclosed a vldeo identification system for producing color photo print identification cards.
The system provides a frame of portrait video, processes the portrait video, provides identification card format and individual speci~ic data, forms a combined identification card image of the portrait video, card format and individual specific data, and produces a hard copy image of the identification card image. In U.S. Patent No. 4,865,351, a method is disclosed wherein a photograph is adhesively applied to a bank check. In U.S. Patent No. 4,687,526, there is disclosed a method of making an identification card wherein a photograph from a video camera is converted to digital data which may be comhined with signatures, fingerprints, and variable data from a keyboard. The digital data is then fed to a laser prir.ter that prints the photograph and any other desired alphanumeric information on a paper sheet.

The paper sheet may then be laminated under heat and pressure between two sheets of transparent thermoplastic material to form an identification card. In U.S. Patent Nos. 4,911,7~8 and 4,928,996, there is disclosed a process for forming personal boo}clets with photographs such as passports and ban1c books. In producing a passport, for e~ample, personal data is prepared by entering it with a word processor having a CRT display, a bar code reader and a keyboard based on data provided in the application form and stored in a floppy disk. The personal data i8 stored in the form of coded data entry along with the personal identifying number read out from the bar code label. The picture of the applicant is supplied by the applicant and is attached to the application form. The applicant's image along with the personal data is then composed as a single composite image by an image composer device. The operator of the system can then edit the composite image on a color monitor (a color CRT display) and ultimately the composite image is printed on thermal transfer type photosensitive printing paper. The image is then developed and transferred to an image receiving layer by a video printer and the thermal transfer process.
The image receiving layer is then incorporated into a multi-layer front page of a booklet.
U.S. Patent 4,921,278 de~cribes a computer ~enera~ed identification system where the owner'~
signature and/or photograph is provided as hidden information on an identification card. The coded or hidden in~ormation will reappear when the ID card is placed in a read-out machine where a reference grid .. . .

decodes the coded information in -the form of Moire patterns.
In U.S. Patent No. 4,888,648, there is disclosed an image filing system and more specifically, an electronic album suitable for filing and storing image information which can be readily retrieved.
There remains a need, however, for incorporating an image of one or more customers (in -the preferred embodiment, account holders) on bank checks which, in the typical case are presently issued to an account holder in two stages. First, when a customer opens an account, he/she may be given a small quantity (for example, ten) of checks which have only limited information printed thereon, usually the bank name and standard check related language such as "Pay to the Order of:" and the like. Generally, these first issued "temporary checks" have no specific customer related information printed thereon, and the customer must print any such information on the check manually. These first issued checks are then usually followed by a larger quantity of checks which are printed to include customer name, address, phone no.
and the like.
It will be appreciated that the personal identification aspects of present check issuing systems is wholly unsatisfactory, particularly (though not limited to) the issuance of initial "temporary checks".

The present invention, in a preferred embodiment relates to the production of personalized documents, such as bank checks where fully printed interim checks including account holder(s) image(s) are provided the customer immed.iately upon opening an account, followed by production of large quantities of checks ordered (and reordered) by the cus-tomer at various in-tervals. Specifically, an image of the person who is the owner of the account is cap-tured in real time with a video camcorder or a still video camera. The images are converked to digital image files on a personal computer throuyh the use of a camcorder and/or VCR, or a still video camera and still video diskette player, which feeds a signal to a video image capture board and an associated image processing software package mounted in a personal computer.
Once the image i8 in the form of a digital image file in the personal computer, and with the aid of a suitable software package, the image is cropped and scaled to the required size and then converted to an appropriate image file format for further processing.
In the preferred bank check embodiment of the invention, the check itself iB composed as a graphics image file in the personal computer through the use of a graphic input tablet, a graphics display system, and a forms composition software package. The text to appear on the check associated with the checking account owner and the specific bank i.s then composed.

20,n;~j7 ~ en a customer opens a new checking account or wants to update hi~ or her checks wi-th a personal image, the customer's image is captured when, for example, the customer appears a-t the bank to sign their signature card, or durlng any other visit to the bank. The opera-tor of the personal computer used in the capture process then edits the check format with the proper customer name, address, telephone number, ~ccount number, starting check number, serial number and bank information (if that was not previously entered). The personal image file previously generated by the picture check system software is now merged with the edited check image to form the complete picture check. A laser printer connected to the personal computer may be used to print an initial set of checks (usually a fairly small number) which are immediately presented to the customer.
':
For joint accounts, it will be appreciated that pictures of both account holders may be incorporated in the check format in exactly the same manner as described above.
The picture check system software also generates another file which will be used to drive a higher ; resolution printer. That output will be used as the camera-ready copy for printing a full set of checks to be sent to tha customer. The picture check system software will also print the mailing label for the order (and future orders) at that time.

FIGURE 1 is a schematic diaqram of an imaye capture system in accordance with an e~emplary embodiment of the invention; and FIGURE 2 is a front elevation of a bank check produced in accordance with the lnvention; and FIGURE 3 is a ~chematic diagram of the image capture system of Figure 1 in combination with a check manufacturing and printing system.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF T~E DRAWINGS
With reference now to Figure 1, an image capture system is shown at 10 and includes alternative means by which an image may be initially captured. For example, a camcorder 12, still video camera 14 or VCR
16 may be used in a conventional manner to capture the customer(s) image for use in producing bank checks in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention (see Figure 2). In the event a camcorder 12 is employed, the image signals may be fed directly to a personal computer 20 by means of a video image capture card 22 (mounted within the computer), or through a VCR 16 which transmits the image signals to the personal computer 20 by means of the same ~ideo image capture board 22.
In the event a still video camera 14 is employed, the image signals are transmitted to the - ' ~

,........ ,!,~
2~9~ ~17~
personal computer 20 by means of a still video diskette player 18 which transmits the signals to the video image capture board 22. The video image capture board 22 may be a conven-tional board such as the True Vision TARGAt~, in conjunction with a suitable image processing software pac}cage, both of which are mounted in the personal computer 20.
It will be appreciated that an alternative method of converting an image of a person to a digital image file is simply to scan an existing photograph of the person with a conventional digital 6canner. -Once the image is in the form of a digital image file in the personal computer 20, and utilizing the above mentioned software package, the image may be cropped and scaled to the requlred size and then converted to an appropriate image file format for further processing. In the manufacture of bank checks, for example, the check itself is composed as a graphic~ image flle in the personal computer 20 through the use of a graphic input tablet 24, a graphics display system, and a forms composition software package located within the personal computer 20. The text on the check relating to the checking account owner ~name, address, phone no., etc.) and the bank (name, address, branch, etc.) is then composed in an easily edited forma-t.
A new or existing customer may have their image captured in the bank when they sign their signature card upon opening the account, or during any other .... . . .

visit to -the bank. The personal computer 20 operator then edits the checlt format with the proper customer name, address, telephone number, account number, starting check serial numbe!r, and other appropria-te bank information. The personal image file previously generated by the picture check system software is now merged with the edited check image to form the complete bank check 26, as illustrated, for e~ample, in Figure 2. A laser printer 28 connected to the personal computer 20 is used to print an initial set of checks which are immediately given to the new c-lstomer (or to an e~isting customer where updated image checks are sought). Of course, for joint accounts, pictures of both account holders are placed on the check in exactly the same manner.
The software package al~o generates another file which will be used to drive a higher resolution printer. That output will be used as the camera-ready copy for printing a full set of checks to be sent to the customer, as explained in further detail below.
With reference now to Figure 2, the picture check 26 is illustrated which includes a picture image 30 in the upper lefthand corner of the check, customer or account holder information 32 and bank information 34 (as well as other miscellaneous information~ the check having been produced in the manner described hereinabove.
Turn:ing now to Figure 3, a system configuration for manufacturing personal check3 is illustrated , . .

~ ~ ~ 9 ~ 7 ~ ~
whereill components in common with the image capture system of Figure 1 are designated by similar reference numerals with the prefix "1" added. Thus, the initial image capture system 110 is shown to include a camcorder 112 in~utting to the per~onal computer 120 with the initial printing of bank checks via laser printer 12~. At the same time, however, the personal computer 120 is connected by way of modems 36 and 38 to a host computer ~0. The host computer, in turn, communicates via modems 42 and 44 with a forms manufacturing plant 46. Here, a higher resolution printer, for example, a 600 d.p.i. laser printer 48, is utilized to produce a camera-ready copy for printing a full set of checks to be sent to the customer.
`:
At the Rame time, the hoRt computer 40 may communicate the image file and billing information to bank image data base applications (designated by arrow 50).
.
After the inltial set of checks 26 is used up, the customer may order new checks by appearing at any bank branch equipped with a personal computer, for example, 220 linked to the host computer 40, and the system will print out another camera-ready copy to be sent to the printing plant 46. In this way, if any corrections or additions are necessary to the customer or bank in~ormation 32, 34, respectively, on the chec}c 26, the existing text can be edited to include them. Again, as noted above, if the cu~tomer wants an updated personal image, a visit to the bank is all that is required.

While the above described embocliment relates to the composition of bank checks, the concept embodied in the exemplary embodiment is useful to provlde personal or other images on any of the following documents or items:
1) diplornas;
2) college transcripts;
When, at some future time, the customer needs more checks, the sys-tem is employed to print out another camera-ready copy to be sent to the printing plant. This way, if any corrections or additions are necessary to the customer or bank information on the check, the existing tex-t can be edited to include such changes.
In addition, for any cu~tomer who wants an updated personal image, a visit to the bank to capture another image is all that i8 required. Since this system will be on hand for new account customer~, this additional update service for existing customers can be made available for little or no extra cost.

In accordance with another embodiment, there is provided apparatus for producing a bank check which include a picture of an account holder comprising an image capture device located at a bank site for . -7 '7 l~
capturing the account holdar's image; means for converting the user's image to a digital image file and for storing said digita:L image file in a rnemory device of a central processing uni-t; means for composing the document in the form of a graphics image file; means for merging the digital image file and graphics image file to form a complete document format; and means located at the bank site for prin-ting the bank check.
The following benefits are achieved by the above described exemplary embodiment of the invention:
1) positive identification of the owner of the document on which the personal image is printed;
2) uni~ue selling feature;
~ 3) fast and easy capture of the personal image;

The personal image file previously generated by the picture check system software is now merged with the edited check image to form the complete bank check 26, as illustrated, for e~ample, in Figure 2. A laser printer 28 connected to the personal computer 20 is used to print an initial set of checks which are immediately given to the new c-lstomer (or to an e~isting customer where updated image checks are sought). Of course, for joint accounts, pictures of both account holders are placed on the check in exactly the same manner.
The software package al~o generates another file which will be used to drive a higher resolution printer. That output will be used as the camera-ready copy for printing a full set of checks to be sent to the customer, as explained in further detail below.
With reference now to Figure 2, the picture check 26 is illustrated which includes a picture image 30 in the upper lefthand corner of the check, customer or account holder information 32 and bank information 34 (as well as other miscellaneous information~ the check having been produced in the manner described hereinabove.
Turn:ing now to Figure 3, a system configuration for manufacturing personal check3 is illustrated , . .

whereill components in common with the image capture system of Figure 1 are designated by similar reference numerals with the prefix "1" added. Thus, the initial image capture system 110 is shown to include a camcorder 112 in~utting to the per~onal computer 120 with the initial printing of bank checks via laser printer 12~. At the same time, however, the personal computer 120 is connected by way of modems 36 and 38 to a host computer ~0. The host computer, in turn, communicates via modems 42 and 44 with a forms manufacturing plant 46. Here, a higher resolution printer, for example, a 600 d.p.i. laser printer 48, is utilized to produce a camera-ready copy for printing a full set of checks to be sent to the customer.
`:
At the Rame time, the hoRt computer 40 may communicate the image file and billing information to bank image data base applications (designated by arrow 50).
.
After the inltial set of checks 26 is used up, the customer may order new checks by appearing at any bank branch equipped with a personal computer, for example, 220 linked to the host computer 40, and the system will print out another camera-ready copy to be sent to the printing plant 46. In this way, if any corrections or additions are necessary to the customer or bank in~ormation 32, 34, respectively, on the chec}c 26, the existing text can be edited to include them. Again, as noted above, if the cu~tomer wants an updated personal image, a visit to the bank is all that is required.
