Devices and methods for enhanced image capture of documents
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a display;
at least one camera;
a memory storing an image capture application module; and
a processor coupled to the display, the at least one camera, and the memory, the processor being configured to;
display, on the display, a live view image of at least part of a document captured by the at least one camera, the at least part of the document having imprinted thereon a plurality of data fields and corresponding data entry items, wherein displaying the live view image includes;
receiving image data for a first image of the at least part of the document captured using the at least one camera;
extracting one or more of the data entry items from the document by processing the first image; and
displaying the extracted data entry items on the live view image of the at least part of the document, the extracted data entry items being displayed in annotation overlays on the live view image in association with representations of their respective corresponding data fields in the live view image, anddisplay, on the display, a first user interface element concurrently with the live view image of the at least part of the document, the first user interface element being selectable to update a database record using the extracted data entry items.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method for processing images of a document is disclosed. The method includes: displaying, on a display of an electronic device, a live view image of at least part of a document captured by a camera of the electronic device, the at least part of the document having imprinted thereon a plurality of data fields and corresponding data entry items, wherein displaying the live view image includes: receiving image data for a first image of the at least part of the document captured using the camera; extracting one or more of the data entry items from the document based on processing the first image; and displaying the extracted data entry items on the live view image of the at least part of the document, the extracted data entry items being displayed in annotation overlays on the live view image in association with representations of their respective corresponding data fields in the live view image. The method further includes displaying, on the display, a first user interface element concurrently with the live view image of the at least part of the document, the first user interface element being selectable to update a database record using the extracted data entry items.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising processor-executable instructions which, when executed, configure a processor to:
-
display, on a display of an electronic device, a live view image of at least part of a document captured by at least one camera of the electronic device, the document having imprinted thereon a plurality of data fields and data entry items associated with one or more of the data fields, wherein displaying the live view image includes; receiving image data for a first image of the at least part of the document captured using the at least one camera; extracting one or more of the data entry items from the document by processing the first image; and displaying the extracted data entry items on the live view image of the at least part of the document, the extracted data entry items being displayed in annotation overlays on the live view image in association with representations of their respective corresponding data fields in the live view image, and display, on the display, a first user interface element concurrently with the live view image of the at least part of the document, the first user interface element being selectable to update a database record using the extracted data entry items.
