Systems and methods for routing a facsimile confirmation based on content

A method for routing a confirmation, comprising:

• converting a facsimile to a computer-readable document;
• identifying one or more keywords in the document;
• analyzing the document by determining at least two of a:
• relation of one or more symbols in the document to the one or more keywords,
• relation of graphic elements to the one or more keywords, and
• classification of text of the document as a specific document type,
• determining a confirmation destination based on the analysis;
• and
• routing the confirmation to the confirmation destination based on the determination,
• wherein the determining does not utilize any OCR techniques.

A method for routing a confirmation of receipt of a facsimile or portion thereof, comprising:

• analyzing a facsimile for at least one of a meaning and a context of the facsimile;
• segmenting the facsimile into areas;
• matching at least some of the areas to one or more of:
• a structural characteristic of one or more known document types;
• and
• a relational characteristic of one or more known document types;
• labeling each matched area based on the matching, the labeling further comprising compiling evidence and disevidence for one or more of the areas;
• attempting to initiate a business process based on the analysis;
• and
• routing one or more confirmations relating to the business process to one or more destinations based on the analysis,
• wherein the evidence and the disevidence each relate to whether the area contains a particular object corresponding one or more of the labels
• wherein one of the confirmations is sent upon either completion of the business process or upon encountering a problem with the business process.
