Features
Signature
has been written in Microsoft C and in Assembly language. Thus, it combines speed and
efficiency. It can operate on IBM compatible computers having VGA card and VGA color
monitor and 640 KB RAM. It can cooperate with any environment that can be linked with
object code coming from MICROSOFT compilers. A signature can be captured, edited and
compressed. All relevant information can be passed to the banking software environment in
the form of a C structure. This environment is responsible for storing the compressed
signature information in a file system (local or remotely accessible through LAN/WAN). The
same banking software environment is also responsible for retrieving all relevant
information and passing them to SIGNATURE for signature decompression and display. This
basic software architecture makes SIGNATURE adaptable to a variety of software
environments currently used in the banking sector.
SIGNATURE has two main modules:
|
The Capture module supports flatbed scanners for A4 page
size (one or multiple scanning sites). The scanner currently supported is EPSON GT6000
scanner or compatible. The module is menu and mouse driven and it is very user-friendly.
Six user defined Regions-Of-Interest (ROI) can be selected for scanning. Several scanning
parameters (e.g. resolution and brightness) can be also user defined. Once a signature is
scanned, it can be edited on screen (optional). Editing is mouse driven. When editing is
over, the signature image is compressed. The CCITT Huffman Run-Length and the CCITT
Modified READ coding methods have been used. Compression ratios range from 1:3-1:10.
Besides image editing, the Capture module can also display and edit customer information
(company-id, name, tie) that are associated with a specific signature. Both scanning,
editing and compression is very fast (in the range of a few seconds). Capture passes the
compressed signature to the banking calling environment. |
The Display module can decompress and display a number of
signatures at the same time together with customer data (name and idnumber). The
decompression and display is extremely fast (less than 1 second), because it must be used
very frequently and in many sites (e.g. tellers). Signatures are grouped into pages and
can be browsed by using F7-F8, PgDn, PgUp, Home, End and arrow keys.
