What is claimed is:
1. A method of processing checks that are rejected by a check scanner that reads check data on the checks, comprising:
(a) reading a first pass data from a plurality of checks;
(b) reading a second pass data for checks that have been rejected in the first pass;
(c) for each rejected check, comparing the second pass data of the each rejected check with the first pass data of the plurality of checks to find a match therebetween based on a first match profile; and
(d) for each rejected check, comparing the second pass data of the each rejected check with the first pass data of the plurality of checks to find a match therebetween based on a second match profile.
2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising for each matched check, creating a merged data containing the first pass data and the second pass data of the each matched check.
3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising repeating step (d) using a different match profile until all match profiles have been used.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein:
in step (c), each matched check is marked as matched; and
in step (d), the marked checks are excluded from being compared.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first match profile is more strict than the second match profile.
6. The method according to claim 1, wherein:
the first match profile is more strict than the second match profile;
in step (c), each matched check is marked as matched; and
in step (d), the marked checks are excluded from being compared.
7. A method of processing checks that are rejected by a check scanner that reads MICR check data disposed on the checks, comprising:
(a) reading a first pass data from a plurality of checks;
(b) reading a second pass data for checks that have been rejected in the first pass;
(c) for each rejected check, comparing the second pass data with the first pass data of the plurality of checks to find a match therebetween based on a first match profile; and
(d) repeating step (c) based on a second match profile that is less strict than the first match profile.
8. The method according to claim 7, further comprising:
for each matched check, creating a merged data containing the first pass data and the second pass data of the each matched check;
passing the merged data to a balancing application to balance the accounts associated with the merged data.
9. The method according to claim 7, wherein step (d) includes repeating step (c) using a different match profile until all match profiles have been used.
10. The method according to claim 7, wherein:
in step (c), each matched check is marked as matched; and
in step (d), the marked checks are excluded from being compared.
11. A system for processing checks comprising:
a check scanner that reads check data disposed on the checks;
a storage device coupled to the check scanner and operable to store a first pass data from a plurality of checks read from the check scanner and to store a second pass data for checks that have been rejected by the check scanner in the first pass;
a check processing program stored in the storage; and
a processor that executes the check processing program, the check processing program being operable to compare for each rejected check the second pass data of the each check with the first pass data of the plurality of checks to find a match therebetween based on a first match profile, and being further operable to repeat the comparing for each rejected check based on a second match profile that is different from the first match profile.
12. The system according to claim 11, further comprising an input device coupled to the processor and operable to receive the first and second match profiles from a user for storage by the storage device.
13. The system according to claim 11, wherein for each matched check, the check processing program creates a merged data containing the first pass data and the second pass data of the each matched check.
14. The system according to claim 11, wherein the check processing program repeats the comparing until all match profiles programmed by a user have been used.
15. The system according to claim 11, wherein the check processing program marks each matched check and the marked checks are excluded from being compared in the repeated comparing.
16. The system according to claim 11, wherein the first match profile is more strict than the second match profile.
17. The system according to claim 11, wherein:
the first match profile is more strict than the second match profile; and
the check processing program marks each matched check and excludes the marked checks from being compared in the repeated comparing.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A support device for supporting a cylindrical member around which is wound an elongated body, the support device comprising:
a support shaft, supported by a support body in a cantilevered state, for supporting the cylindrical member that is fitted to an external surface of the support shaft from an opening on one end in a longitudinal direction of the cylindrical member;
an anchoring means, built into the support shaft, for anchoring the cylindrical member from an inner circumferential side of the cylindrical member;
an operating means comprising a shaft part smaller in diameter than the support shaft, the shaft part protruding forward from a distal end of the support shaft where a side on which the support shaft is supported in the cantilevered state is defined as a proximal end and where an opposite side thereto is defined as the distal end, the shaft part being arranged to switch between anchoring of the cylindrical member by the anchoring means and releasing thereof; and
a protecting member which is attached to the distal end of the support shaft and through which is inserted the shaft part, the protecting member further comprising a reduced-diameter section smaller in diameter than the support shaft.
2. A data management method for managing data relating to an elongated body wound around a cylindrical member by using the support device according to claim 1, the method comprising:
fitting the cylindrical member to an external surface of the support shaft from the opening on one end in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical member; and
performing data communication between a data communication means and a data carrier member which is disposed in a carrier disposition area, where an inner circumferential surface of such a portion of the cylindrical member as is positioned in front of the proximal end of the reduced-diameter section is defined as the carrier disposition area.
