User interface for document imaging

A method for facilitating image-based financial transactions, comprising:

• displaying, by a computing device and at a display of the computing device, a multi-mode launch icon, wherein the launch icon is alternately selectable by a user of the computing device in a first mode and in a second mode;
• detecting, by the computing device, a first user input that selects the launch icon in the first mode;
• in response to the first user input, executing a first application at the computing device;
• detecting, by the computing device, a second user input that selects the launch icon in the second mode;
• in response to the second user input, prompting the user, by the computing device, to capture an image of a document with an imaging device;
• receiving, by the computing device and from the imaging device, the image of the document;
• determining, based at least in part on the image, that the document is of a first document type;
• and
• executing, by the computing device, a document-type routine to perform a first financial transaction based at least in part on the document.

A machine-readable medium comprising thereon instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, at a display of the computing device, a multi-mode launch icon, wherein the launch icon is alternately selectable by a user of the computing device in a first mode and in a second mode;
• detecting a first user input that selects the launch icon in the first mode;
• in response to the first user input, executing a first application at the computing device;
• detecting a second user input that selects the launch icon in the second mode;
• in response to the second user input, prompting the user, by the computing device, to capture an image of a document with an imaging device;
• receiving, from the imaging device, the image of the document;
• determining, based at least in part on the image, that the document is of a first document type;
• and
• executing a document-type routine to perform a first financial transaction based at least in part on the document.
