Abstract
Techniques to validate data are disclosed. In various embodiments, an indication of a data entry form field to be validated is received. A current value associated with the data entry form field is displayed in a validation interface provided via a display device. A snippet or other partial image of a portion of a source document with which the data entry form is associated is displayed in a location adjacent or otherwise in a same field of view as the displayed current value associated with the data entry form field. The portion includes a content image that was processed to extract the current value from the source document.
Claims24
A method of minimizing human eye strain and increasing visual target speed in validating data, comprising:
- displaying a validation interface on a display screen with a first set of validation interface elements located on the display screen based on a first layout of validation interface elements according to which a first type of validation interface element is to be displayed a first distance from a second type of validation interface element, the first set of validation interface elements comprising a first data entry form field to be validated;
- receiving, by a processor, an input comprising an indication to display, in the validation interface, a next data entry form field to be validated;
- automatically determining, by the processor, locations at which to display a second set of validation interface elements, wherein determining the locations at which to display the second set of validation interface elements comprises determining, based on display variation selection criteria, whether to vary a display of the validation interface from the first layout of validation interface elements to a second layout of validation interface elements according to which the first type of validation interface element is to be displayed a second distance apart from the second type of validation interface element, the second distance being greater than the first distance and selected to require eye movement at least twenty percent across the display screen;
- and
- based on a determination to vary the display of the validation interface from the first layout of validation interface elements to the second layout of validation interface elements, updating the display of the validation interface to display the second set of validation interface elements at the determined locations with the first type of validation interface element displayed the second distance apart from the second type of validation interface element, wherein the second set of validation interface elements comprises the next data entry form field containing a current value extracted from a document image, a snippet associated with the next data entry form field and that is a portion of the document image from which the current value was extracted, and a validation message.

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by a processor to:
- display a validation interface on a display screen with a first set of validation interface elements located based on a first layout of validation interface elements according to which a first type of validation interface element is to be displayed a first distance from a second type of validation interface element, the first set of validation interface elements comprising a first data entry form field to be validated;
- receive an input comprising an indication to display, in the validation interface, a next data entry form field to be validated;
- automatically determine, by the processor, locations at which to display a second set of validation interface elements, wherein determining the locations at which to display the second set of validation interface elements comprises determining, based on display variation selection criteria, whether to vary a display of the validation interface from the first layout of validation interface elements to a second layout of validation interface elements according to which the first type of validation interface element is to be displayed a second distance apart from the second type of validation interface element, the second distance being greater than the first distance and selected to require eye movement at least twenty percent across the display screen;
- and
- based on a determination to vary the display of the validation interface from the first layout of validation interface elements to the second layout of validation interface elements, update the display of the validation interface to display the second set of validation interface elements at the determined locations with the first type of validation interface element displayed the second distance apart from the second type of validation interface element, wherein the second set of validation interface elements comprises the next data entry form field to display a current value extracted from a document image, a snippet associated with the next data entry form field and that is a portion of the document image from which the current value was extracted, and a validation message.

A system for indexing captured documents, comprising:
- a display device comprising a display screen;
- a processor coupled to the display device and configured to:
- display a validation interface on the display screen with a first set of validation interface elements located based on a first layout of validation interface elements according to which a first type of validation interface element is to be displayed a first distance from a second type of validation interface element, the first set of validation interface elements comprising a first data entry form field to be validated;
- receive an input comprising an indication to display, in the validation interface, a next data entry form field to be validated on the display screen;
- automatically determine locations at which to display a second set of validation interface elements, wherein determining the locations at which to display the second set of validation interface elements comprises determining, based on display variation selection criteria, whether to vary a display of the validation interface from the first layout of validation interface elements to a second layout of validation interface elements according to which the first type of validation interface element is to be displayed a second distance apart from the second type of validation interface element, the second distance being greater than the first distance and selected to require eye movement at least twenty percent across the display screen;
- and
- based on a determination to vary the display of the validation interface from the first layout of validation interface elements to the second layout of validation interface elements, update the display of the validation interface to display the second set of validation interface elements at the determined locations with the first type of validation interface element displayed the second distance apart from the second type of validation interface element, wherein the second set of validation interface elements comprises the next data entry form field to display a current value extracted from a document image, a snippet associated with the next data entry form field and that is a portion of the document image from which the current value was extracted, and a validation message.
