Handling a document having content marked using one or more identifiers

A method for extracting content from a document while scanning, the method comprising:

• receiving the document having content marked using one or more starting identifiers and corresponding one or more ending identifiers, wherein the content marked between each starting identifier and corresponding ending identifier indicates content for extraction, wherein the content in the document is marked using braille symbols;
• scanning the document to generate a scanned document;
• analyzing the scanned document to identify the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers;
• extracting the content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers, from the scanned document;
• and
• generating a new file comprising the extracted content.

A method for deleting content from a document while scanning, the method comprising:

• receiving the document having content marked using one or more starting identifiers and corresponding one or more ending identifiers, wherein the content marked between each starting identifier and corresponding ending identifier indicates content for deletion, wherein the content is marked using braille symbols;
• scanning the document to generate a scanned document;
• analyzing the scanned document to identify the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers;
• identifying the content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers, from the scanned document;
• and
• deleting the identified content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers from the scanned document resulting in a different scanned document, wherein the resulted scanned document comprises the remaining content.

A multi-function device for extracting content from a document while scanning, the multi-function device comprising:

• a platen to receive the document having content marked using one or more starting identifiers and corresponding ending identifiers, wherein the content marked between each starting identifier and corresponding ending identifier indicates content for extraction, wherein the content is marked using braille symbols;
• a scanner to scan the document to generate a scanned document;
• and
• a controller to:
• analyze the scanned document to identify the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers marked in the scanned document;
• extract the content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding on or more ending identifiers, from the scanned document;
• and
• generate a new file to include the extracted content.

A multi-function device for handling content of a document based on one or more identifiers, the multi-function device comprising:

• a platen to receive the document having content marked using one or more starting identifiers and corresponding one or more ending identifiers, wherein the content marked between each starting identifier and corresponding ending identifier indicates content for one of:
• extraction, deletion, replacement and sharing, wherein the content in the document is marked using braille symbols;
• a user interface to receive a selection of a function to be performed on the marked content;
• a scanner to scan the document to generate a scanned document;
• a controller to:
• analyze the scanned document to identify the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers;
• and
• based on the selection of the function to be performed on the marked content, perform one of:
• extract the content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers, from the scanned document;
• delete the content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers, from the scanned document;
• replace the content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers, from the scanned document with a new content;
• and
• share the content marked between the one or more starting identifiers and the corresponding one or more ending identifiers, from the scanned document.
