Abstract
A method for routing a confirmation of receipt of a facsimile or portion thereof according to one embodiment of the present invention includes analyzing text of a facsimile; detecting at least one document feature of the facsimile based on the analysis; comparing one or more detected document features to a plurality of document features, each of the plurality of document features corresponding to one or more known document types; and routing the confirmation to one or more destinations based on at least one of the comparison and the analysis. Systems and computer program products are also presented.
Claims19
A method for routing a confirmation of receipt of a facsimile or portion thereof, comprising:
- analyzing an image of a facsimile;
- detecting at least one graphical document feature of the facsimile based on the analysis;
- comparing one or more detected graphical document features to a plurality of known graphical document features, each of the plurality of known graphical document features corresponding to one or more known document types;
- the comparing further comprising one or more of:
- comparing one or more of the detected graphical document features to features of one or more forms, wherein the forms relate to one or more certain document types,
- determining a position of one or more of the detected graphical document features within the image, and
- comparing at least two of the detected graphical document features to one another;
- and
- routing the confirmation to one or more destinations based on at least one of the comparison and the analysis.
A system, comprising:
- a processor configured to execute logic;
- and
- logic in and/or executable by the processor to cause the processor to:
- analyze an image of a facsimile;
- detect at least one graphical document feature of the facsimile based on the analysis;
- compare one or more detected graphical document features to a plurality of known graphical document features, each of the plurality of known graphical document features corresponding to one or more known document types;
- the comparison further comprising one or more of:
- comparing one or more of the detected graphical document features to features of one or more forms, wherein the forms relate to one or more certain document types,
- determining a position of one or more of the detected graphical document features within the image, and
- comparing at least two of the detected graphical document features to one another;
- and
- route a confirmation of the facsimile to one or more destinations based on at least one of the comparison and the analysis.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having embodied therewith computer readable program code, wherein the computer readable program code is configured, upon execution by a processor, to cause the processor to:
- analyze an image of a facsimile;
- detect at least one graphical document feature of the facsimile based on the analysis;
- compare one or more detected graphical document features to a plurality of known graphical document features, each of the plurality of known graphical document features corresponding to one or more known document types;
- the comparison further comprising one or more of:
- comparing one or more of the detected graphical document features to features of one or more forms, wherein the forms relate to one or more certain document types,
- determining a position of one or more of the detected graphical document features within the image, and
- comparing at least two of the detected graphical document features to one another;
- and
- route a confirmation of the facsimile to one or more destinations based on at least one of the comparison and the analysis.
