Abstract
A portable device is configured to obtain an image of a document, the document being of no predefined format and containing numerical data. The numerical data is extracted and automatically organized into a report in a predefined or customized format and stored into a database. The database is accessible and searchable by a user to obtain either the numerical data of the image or the report.
Claims25
In a system having a scanner in communication with a computing device, a method comprising the steps of:
- obtaining, by the scanner, an electronic image of a document having no predefined format and containing numerical information;
- automatically capturing, in the computing device, the obtained electronic image including the numerical information;
- organizing, in the computing device, the captured numerical information;
- enabling editing of the captured numerical information;
- enabling viewing of the captured numerical information in a desired format;
- and
- combining the captured numerical information with other numerical information previously captured from other documents into a report.
A computer-based system which receives a digital image of a document having no predefined format and containing numerical information from a device that captures an image of the document, the computer-based system storing therein computer executable code for performing a method comprising the steps of:
- processing the digital image of the document having no predefined format and containing numerical information to extract the numerical information;
- enabling editing of the extracted numerical information;
- and
- creating a report based on the extracted numerical information.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing thereon a program containing instructions to cause a computing device to perform the steps of:
- receiving images of documents which have no predetermined format and which contain numerical information;
- extracting the numerical information from the documents;
- outputting the extracted numerical information to a display as a report to allow a user to view and edit the numerical information.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing thereon a program containing instructions to cause a computing device to perform the steps of:
- receiving an electronic image of a document, having no predefined format and containing numerical information, from a device capable of creating the electronic image;
- organizing the numerical information contained in the electronic image of the document;
- enabling editing of the numerical information;
- enabling viewing of the numerical information in a desired format;
- combining the numerical information with other numerical information previously obtained by the device into a report.
