Abstract
A method includes receiving, by a processing device, an indication of an application being opened. In response to receiving the indication, the method includes retrieving, from a storage connected to the processing device, a last captured photo. For the last captured photo as retrieved, the method includes extracting a device identifier from the last captured photo by the processing device. The extracted device identifier is stored in the storage.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- displaying, by a processing device, a graphical user interface including a guide to capture a screenshot of a computing device;
- extracting, by the processing device, a device identifier from a last captured photo;
- automatically inputting, by the processing device, the extracted device identifier into an entry field;
- and
- displaying, on a display, the extracted device identifier as input into the entry field for confirmation by a user.
A computing device comprising:
- a memory;
- a storage;
- a display;
- and
- a processor,
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- display a graphical user interface including a guide to capture a screenshot of the computing device;
- automatically extract a device identifier from a last captured photo;
- automatically insert the device identifier as extracted into an input field of an application residing in the storage;
- and
- display, on the display, the device identifier as extracted and inserted in the input field.
A non-transitory, computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, comprising:
- displaying, by a processing device, a graphical user interface including a guide to capture a screenshot of the computing device;
- extracting, by the processing device, a device identifier from a last captured photo;
- automatically inputting, by the processing device, the extracted device identifier into an entry field;
- and
- displaying, on a display, the extracted device identifier as input into the entry field for confirmation by a user.
