Claims17
A device for processing documents, that comprises:
- means for selecting one procedure from among multiple procedures, comprising
- means for capturing an image of a document, and
- means for processing images captured by the means for capturing an image, adapted to recognize one type of document from among multiple types of documents, to extract information from at least one document image captured by the means for capturing an image, the means for processing images being adapted to verify that each document of which an image has been captured by the means for capturing an image includes all information required for the procedure and, in a case of a lack of required information, to transmitting to means for requesting information, each piece of the information missing from the document;
- means for identifying adapted to identify a procedure to which the document corresponds and to identify at least one complementary document needed, in addition to the document of which the image has been captured, to perform the procedure;
- means for requesting from a user each complementary document identified by the means for identifying adapted to command the means for capturing an image to capture an image of each complementary document requested;
- means for comparing information of a same type extracted from images of different documents in order to verify how the different documents correspond;
- and
- means for requesting complementary information being adapted to indicate a lack of correspondence between information of the same type extracted from images of different documents.
