Abstract
An online content management service can collect and store receipts for a user from a variety of sources, including images captured by the user, messages received for the user at a messaging service or message management service, and/or receipts directly uploaded to the online content management service by a merchant. In the case of receipts provided as messages, a user can interact with a message management service to identify messages as receipts, and the message management service can upload such messages to the online content management service.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, at a client device, a first content item and metadata associated with the first content item, the metadata indicating that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- analyzing, by the client device, the metadata of the first content item to determine whether the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- determining, by the client device, that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt based on the analyzing;
- responsive to determining that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt, presenting, by the client device, a user interface including a list area presenting a list of obtained content items including the first content item, the user interface including a user-operable control element placed within the list area, the user-operable control element indicating that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- detecting, by the client device, operation of the user-operable control element to indicate that the first content item should be processed as a receipt;
- and
- in response to detecting the operation of the user-operable control element, sending, by the client device, an instruction to store a representation of the first content item to a content management system as a receipt.

A client device, comprising:
- one or more processors in communication with a content management system;
- and
- a memory having programming instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the client device to perform operations, comprising:
- obtaining a first content item and metadata associated with the first content item, the metadata indicating that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- analyzing the metadata of the first content item to determine whether the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- determining that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt based on the analyzing;
- responsive to determining that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt, presenting a graphical user interface for presenting a list of obtained content items including the first content item, wherein the graphical user interface includes a user-operable control element indicating that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- detecting operation of the user-operable control element to indicate that the first content item should be processing as a receipt;
- and
- sending, in response to detecting operation of the user-operable control element, an instruction to store a representation of the first content item to the content management system as a receipt.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including one or more sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining, at a client device, a first content item and metadata associated with the first content item, the metadata indicating that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- analyzing, by the client device, the metadata of the first content item to determine whether the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- determining, by the client device, that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt based on the analyzing;
- responsive to determining that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt, presenting, by the client device, a user interface including a list area presenting a list of obtained content items including the first content item, the user interface including a user-operable control element placed within the list area, the user-operable control element indicating that the first content item is a candidate for processing as a receipt;
- detecting, by the client device, operation of the user-operable control element to indicate that the first content item should be processed as a receipt;
- and
- in response to detecting the operation of the user-operable control element, sending, by the client device, an instruction to store a representation of the first content item to a content management system as a receipt.
