Abstract
An image associated with a poll may be acquired via a camera. One or more symbols indicating responses may be found by analyzing the image. The responses specified by the symbols may be determined and saved. The responses may also be displayed to the operator and/or to the respondents.
Claims72
A processor-readable non-transitory physical medium storing processor-issuable instructions to:
- capture, via a camera, an image associated with a poll, wherein the image includes a digital representation of a respondent's physical response device bearing a processor-decodable symbol, wherein the physical response device is associated with a plurality of valid orientations, and wherein each of the plurality of valid orientations corresponds to a different processor-decodable response.
A processor-readable non-transitory physical medium storing processor-issuable instructions to:
- obtain, via a processor, an image, wherein the image includes a digital representation of a respondent's physical response device bearing a processor-decodable symbol, wherein the physical response device is associated with a plurality of valid orientations, and wherein each of the plurality of valid orientations corresponds to a different processor-decodable response.
A processor-readable non-transitory physical medium storing processor-issuable instructions to:
- capture, via a camera, an image, wherein the image includes a digital representation of a respondent's physical response device bearing a processor-decodable symbol, and wherein the processor-decodable symbol specifies the respondent's response to a poll and an identifier of the respondent.
A processor-implemented method comprising executing processor-implemented instructions to:
- capture, via a camera, an image associated with a poll, wherein the image includes a digital representation of a respondent's physical response device bearing a processor-decodable symbol, wherein the physical response device is associated with a plurality of valid orientations, and wherein each of the plurality of valid orientations corresponds to a different processor-decodable response.
A processor-implemented method comprising executing processor-implemented instructions to:
- obtain, via a processor, an image, wherein the image includes a digital representation of a respondent's physical response device bearing a processor-decodable symbol, wherein the physical response device is associated with a plurality of valid orientations, and wherein each of the plurality of valid orientations corresponds to a different processor-decodable response.
A processor-implemented method comprising executing processor-implemented instructions to:
- capture, via a camera, an image, wherein the image includes a digital representation of a respondent's physical response device bearing a processor-decodable symbol, and wherein the processor-decodable symbol specifies the respondent's response to a poll and an identifier of the respondent.
