Abstract
A computer implemented method and apparatus for detecting, validating, and correlating form-fields in a scanned document. The method comprises displaying a plurality of interactive form-fields associated with a scanned document, wherein each interactive form-field in the plurality of form-fields is defined by a location in the document where one or more previous users entered information on the scanned document, and a data type for the entered information.
Claims20
A computer implemented method comprising:
- accessing a scanned document by an electronic device;
- determining form fields for the scanned document based on subsequent interactions with the scanned document by at least one other user, wherein determining comprises:
- fetching location information corresponding to at least one location where said at least one other user entered information on the scanned document;
- fetching data type information for data filled in the form fields by said at least one other user;
- one of identifying and generating form fields using the fetched location information and fetched data type information;
- and
- causing display of a plurality of interactive form-fields associated with the scanned document.
An apparatus for detecting, validating, and correlating form-fields in a scanned document comprising:
- a computer having one or more processors and further comprising:
- a suggestion module for displaying a plurality of interactive form-fields associated with a scanned document, wherein each interactive form-field in the plurality of form-fields is defined by (i) a location in the document where one or more previous users entered information on the scanned document, and (ii) a data type for the entered information.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- accessing a scanned document by an electronic device;
- and
- determining one or more form-fields for the scanned document based on previous user interactions with the scanned document.
