Abstract
The system and method facilitate the control and management of information and actions related to the computerized scanning, categorization, processing, storage, and retrieval of paper documents and electronic document images for the purposes of creating electronic data; data entry; data capture; data classification and categorization; and document-, file-, and records-management. The systems and methods facilitate the conversion of paper documents into electronic images and into more useful forms.
Claims14
A computerized document processing system comprising:
- an input document image processing module configured to receive a group of electronic page images of documents, associate the group of electronic images of documents with a job type which includes one or more defined document types and one or more defined sequence of document images, identify the electronic images of documents as defined document types, and verify and correct defined sequences of document images;
- a data entry module configured to receives the group of electronic images of documents from the document image processing module and configured to associate keyed data with the electronic image from which it was generated;
- and
- a document management module configured to track the progress of the group of electronic images of documents through the system, provide access via a network to the tracked progress, provide access via the network to the group of electronic images of documents and its associated keyed data.

A computerized system for electronic document processing comprising:
- receiving a group of electronic page images of documents;
- associating the group of electronic images of documents with a job type, which includes one or more defined document types and one or more defined sequences of document images, by a user activating an interface button;
- identifying the electronic images of documents as defined document types, and verify and correct defined sequences of document images;
- associating data with the electronic image from which it was generated;
- tracking the progress of the group of electronic images of documents through the system, and providing access via a network to the tracked progress;
- and
- providing access via the network to the group of electronic images of documents and its associated keyed data.
4 more elements
A computerized document processing system comprising:
- a partition generator module configured to accept a sequence of document images and apply two or more masks to each document image to create two or more image work units of partitioned images ordered in the sequence of the document images;
- a snippet sequence reorder module configured to reorder each image work unit to create reordered image work units in such a manner that the sequence of partitioned images in each reordered image work unit is different from all other reordered image work units and different from the sequence of the document images and to create a reference table which defines the reordering;
- a data sequence inverse reorder module configured to receive data work units which correspond to the reordered image work units and to reorder the data in each data work unit using the information in the reference table;
- and
- a data record assembler module configured to form complete data records, from the reordered data work units, that match the sequence of document images.

A method of processing images of documents comprising:
- applying two or more masks to each document image to create two or more image work units of partitioned images ordered in the sequence of the document images;
- reordering each image work unit to create reordered image work units in such a manner that the sequence of partitioned images in each reordered image work unit is different from all other reordered image work units and different from the sequence of the document images and creating a reference table which defines the reordering;
- creating output data work units which correspond to the reordered image work units;
- reordering the data in each data work unit using the information in the reference table;
- and
- forming complete data records, from the reordered data work units, that correspond to the sequence of document images.
