Recognizing data conforming to a rule
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-readable instructions therein that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform acts comprising:
- providing a two-dimensional region to a recognition system, the recognition system capable of extracting information from a document at the two-dimensional region; and
providing a data rule to the recognition system, the data rule corresponding to the two-dimensional region and enabling the recognition system to recognize, from information extracted from the document at the two-dimensional region, user-entered data on the document that conforms to the data rule.

Abstract
Systems and/or methods (“tools”) are described that enable a recognition system to recognize user-entered data conforming to a data rule. The tools may do so by providing data regions for a document. With these data regions, the recognition system may better determine what information on the document is user-entered and what is not. Each of these data regions has a data rule governing data for that region. With the data rule, the recognition system may better recognize data from each region. The tools may ascertain these data regions and rules from an electronic form having controls laid out similarly to data-entry areas of the document.

9. A method comprising:
-
ascertaining a two-dimensional region of an electronic form permitting entry of data;
ascertaining one or more data rules corresponding to the two-dimensional region; and
providing the two-dimensional region and the one or more data rules effective to enable a recognition system to recognize user-entered data on a document at the two-dimensional region and conforming to the one or more data rules. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method comprising:
-
extracting information from a two-dimensional document to provide extracted information;
differentiating the extracted information based on a two-dimensional region of the document to provided differentiated extracted information from the two-dimensional region and other extracted information not from the two-dimensional region; and
recognizing, from the differentiated extracted information, user-entered data conforming to a data rule, the data rule corresponding to the two-dimensional region. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
