Abstract
A system for document processing including decomposing an image of a document into at least one data entry region sub-image, providing the data entry region sub-image to a data entry clerk available for processing the data entry region sub-image, receiving from the data entry clerk a data entry value associated with the data entry region sub-image, and validating the data entry value.
Claims19
A system for document processing comprising:
- means for providing a scanned image of a document to be processed, the scanned image obtained by a processor performing optical character recognition (OCR) on the document;
- means for decomposing, using a computer, the image of the document into at least one sub-image, the sub-image defining a character-based recognition element;
- means for providing the at least one sub-image from the computer over a network to a plurality of data entry computers when a confidence rating related to an outcome from performing OCR on the sub-image is below a predefined threshold, the sub-image being displayed on one or more data entry computers so as to allow one or more user-based inputs, in response to observation of the displayed sub-image, to provide one or more user-based data entry values respectively from at least one of the data entry computers, the one or more user-based data entry values being communicated over the network to a receiving computer;
- means for determining, by the receiving computer, if the one or more user-based data entry values provide a predetermined level of confidence;
- and
- means for computing, by the receiving computer, a verified result when the predetermined level of confidence is provided.

A system for document processing comprising:
- an OCR processor that performs OCR on a document so as to provide a scanned image of the document;
- a decomposing computer that decomposes the image of the document into at least one sub-image, the sub-image defining a character-based recognition element;
- one or more user-based data entry values that are provided respectively from at least one of a plurality of data entry computers
- a receiving computer that
- receives one or more user-based data entry values over a network from a data entry computer that views the sub-image, the sub-image being provided from the decomposing computer over the network to a plurality of data entry computers when a confidence rating related to an outcome from performing OCR on the sub-image is below a predefined threshold, the sub-image being displayed on one or more data entry computers so as to allow one or more user-based inputs, in response to observation of the displayed sub-image, to provide the one or more user-based data entry values that are communicated over the network to the receiving computer;
- determines if the one or more user-based data entry values provide a predetermined level of confidence;
- and
- computes a verified result when the predetermined level of confidence is provided.
