Web-Based Content Detection in Images, Extraction and Recognition
First Claim
1. A method for web-based image content type detection using a browser plug-in, the method comprising:
- capturing an image via a capture device associated with a client;
analyzing at the browser plug-in the captured image for detection of a pre-determined content type; and
in response to the analyzing detecting the pre-determined content type within the captured image, transmitting the captured image to a server.

Abstract
A web-based image detection system includes: an image capture device, a web browser, a plug-in, and a recognition server. A captured image is processed by the plug-in to assess whether a pre-determined content type is contained with in the image. Once an initial analysis at the browser plug-in detects a pre-determined content type in an image, the image is transmitted to a recognition server for content recognition of the image by content type. The system thus enables users to link documents or other image types to electronic data using only a capture device and a web browser.
