Abstract
An automated coupon processing system inputs information from a manufacturer coupon, discerns a first identifying code from the coupon, correlates the first identifying code with one or more second identifying codes, and chooses a particular one of the second identifying codes, where the first identifying code and the chosen second identifying code uniquely identify the coupon. The system can prompt an operator to select one of the second identifying codes or to enter a coupon expiration date that corresponds to one of the second identifying codes. Coupons information can be entered using a bar code reader, an OCR scanner, a combination bar code reader/OCR scanner, and/or manual entry.
