System and method for improved remote deposit user support
Systems and methods for improved remote deposit support and troubleshooting are disclose. In remote deposit sessions, such as a remote check deposit transaction that uses images of the front and back of a check, various errors, conflicts and issues can occur with each step of the session. Embodiments of the present invention can include generating a unique identifier for a particular remote deposit session at or before a particular session or transaction begins and then create a record for each event or task of that session and associate it with the identifier. During a support or troubleshooting session, all transactions can records associated with a particular identifier can be retrieved from a data store and displayed to a user. Such a display can include a listing of various detailed specifics for each record and embedded controls to various tools for detecting, diagnosing, and correcting errors.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, in a computer system, user input comprising a remote deposit session identifier associated with a particular remote deposit session;
retrieving, in the computer system, remote deposit session data associated with the remote deposit session identifier from a remote deposit event data store, wherein the remote deposit session data comprises a plurality of remote deposit event records having a first remote deposit event record created first in time before the other remote deposit event records; and
displaying, on a display device of the computer system, the remote deposit event records, wherein each remote deposit event record corresponds to a particular event of the remote deposit session and comprises a plurality of attributes associated with the particular event;
wherein the remote deposit session identifier comprises an identifier created before the first remote deposit event record.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein receiving user input occurs during a user support or troubleshooting session already in progress.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the remote deposit session comprises a remote check deposit transaction using an image of a check.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of remote deposit event records is associated with a time identifier.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the time identifier comprises a duration corresponding to a difference between a start time and an end time of a particular remote deposit event.
6. The method of claim 1 wherein at least one of the attributes comprises an embedded control.
7. The method of claim 6 wherein the embedded control comprises a link to a deposit document viewer.
8. A system comprising:
a deposit image information processor; and
a network interface coupled to the deposit image information processor and an external network and a deposit processor;
wherein the deposit image information processor receives user input comprising a remote deposit session identifier associated with a particular remote deposit session, retrieves, through the network interface, remote deposit session data associated with the remote deposit session identifier from a remote deposit event data store, each said remote deposit session data comprises a plurality of remote deposit event records having a first remote deposit event record created first in time before the other remote deposit event records, and displays the remote deposit event records, each said remote deposit event record corresponds to a particular event of the remote deposit session and comprises a plurality of attributes associated with the particular event;
wherein the remote deposit session identifier comprises an identifier created before the first remote deposit event record.
9. The system of claim 8 wherein the deposit image information processor receives user input during a user support or troubleshooting session already in progress.
10. The system of claim 8 wherein the remote deposit session comprises a remote check deposit transaction using an image of a check.
11. The system of claim 8 wherein each of the plurality of remote deposit event records is associated with a time identifier.
12. The system of claim 11 wherein the time identifier comprises a duration corresponding to a difference between a start time and an end time of a particular remote deposit event.
13. The system of claim 8 wherein at least one of the attributes comprises an embedded control.
14. The system of claim 13 wherein the embedded control comprises a link to a deposit document viewer.
15. A non-transitory storage medium comprising:
executable code comprising instructions that when executed causes a processor to receive user input comprising a remote deposit session identifier associated with a particular remote deposit session, retrieve, through a network interface, remote deposit session data associated with the remote deposit session identifier from a remote deposit event data store, each said remote deposit session data comprises a plurality of remote deposit event records having a first remote deposit event record created first in time before the other remote deposit event records, and display the remote deposit event records, each said remote deposit record corresponds to a particular event of the remote deposit session and comprises a plurality of attributes associated with the particular event, and
wherein the remote deposit session identifier comprises an identifier created before the first remote deposit event record.
16. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 15 wherein the executable code further comprises instructions that cause the processor to receive user input during a user support or troubleshooting session already in progress.
17. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 15 wherein the remote deposit session comprises a remote check deposit transaction using an image of a check.
18. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 15 wherein each of the plurality of remote deposit event records is associated with a time identifier.
19. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 18 wherein the time identifier comprises a duration corresponding to a difference between a start time and an end time of a particular remote deposit event.
20. The non-transitory storage medium of claim 15 wherein at least one of the attributes comprises an embedded control.
