System and method for defining characteristic data of a scanned document
First Claim
1. A method for providing characteristic data associated with a document, the method comprising:
- analyzing a bitmapped image file of a document;
determining at least one characteristic data of the document based on the analysis of the bitmapped image file; and
linking the characteristic data to the bitmapped image file, wherein the characteristic data is useable by a document management system to identify the document in a search of the document management system.

Abstract
A system and a method for providing characteristic data associated with a scanned document is provided. The characteristic data of the document may include a title, a creation date, a scan date, an author, a subject matter, a total page count, a starting page number, an ending page number, a color type, a document type, a language, and/or a document direction. The method includes analyzing a bitmapped image file of a document, determining at least one characteristic data of the document based on the analysis of the bitmapped image file, and linking the characteristic data to the bitmapped image file, wherein the characteristic data is useable by a document management system to identify the document in a search. Analyzing the bitmapped image of the document may include a natural language analysis technique, an optical character recognition analysis technique, an image layout analysis technique, and/or a color analysis technique.

22. One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by a processor, cause the processor to provide characteristic data associated with a document, the instructions configured to:
-
analyze a bitmapped image file of a document;
determine at least one characteristic data of the document based on the analysis of the bitmapped image file; and
link the characteristic data to the bitmapped image file, wherein the characteristic data is useable by a document management system to identify the document in a search of the document management system.

23. A device for providing characteristic data associated with a document, the device comprising:
-
a characteristic data analyzer application, the characteristic data analyzer application comprising computer-readable instructions configured to analyze a bitmapped image file of a document;
to determine at least one characteristic data of the document based on the analysis of the bitmapped image file; and
to link the characteristic data to the bitmapped image file, wherein the characteristic data is useable by a document management system to identify the document in a search of the document management system;
a memory, wherein the memory stores the characteristic data analyzer application; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the characteristic data analyzer application.
