Systems and methods for obtaining insurance offers using mobile image capture

A system comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• and
• one or more software modules configured to, when executed by the at least one hardware processor,
• determine a size of a type of document to be captured in an image,
• generate an alignment rectangle based on the determined size,
• on a display screen, display the generated alignment rectangle over real-time images of a document that are being captured by a camera,
• while displaying the alignment rectangle over the real-time images, monitor whether or not the document is aligned with the alignment rectangle, and change a color of the alignment rectangle to indicate a state of alignment of the document within the alignment rectangle in the real-time images,
• based at least in part on the document being aligned with the alignment rectangle in at least one of the real-time images, automatically capture an image of the document without the user having to press any button,
• on the display screen, display the captured image of the document,
• for each of the one or more fields,
• prompt a user to select the field on the captured image, and
• receive a selection of a location in the captured image from the user;
• extract data, representing one or more fields in the document, from the captured image of the document, based on the selection of one or more locations in the captured image,
• on the display screen, display the extracted data, and
• receive a confirmation of the extracted data from the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• determine a size of a type of document to be captured in an image;
• generate an alignment rectangle based on the determined size;
• on a display screen, display the generated alignment rectangle over real-time images of a document that are being captured by a camera;
• while displaying the alignment rectangle over the real-time images, monitor whether or not the document is aligned with the alignment rectangle, and change a color of the alignment rectangle to indicate a state of alignment of the document within the alignment rectangle in the real-time images;
• based at least in part on the document being aligned with the alignment rectangle in at least one of the real-time images, automatically capture an image of the document without the user having to press any button;
• on the display screen, display the captured image of the document;
• for each of the one or more fields,
• prompt a user to select the field on the captured image, and
• receive a selection of a location in the captured image from the user;
• extract data, representing one or more fields in the document, from the captured image of the document, based on the selection of one or more locations in the captured image;
• on the display screen, display the extracted data;
• and
• receive a confirmation of the extracted data from the user.
