Reducing Processing Latency in Optical Character Recognition for Portable Reading Machine
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium comprising instructions for causing a portable reading device to:
- receive an image;
select a section of the image to process;
apply optical character recognition to the section of the image and when finished processing at least a portion of the section of the image,process a result of the optical character recognition with a different process, and while the different process is processing the result,select a subsequent section of the image to process; and
apply optical character recognition on the subsequent section of the image after the section of the image is processed by the optical character recognition.

Abstract
A portable reading device includes a computing device and a computer readable medium storing a computer program product to receive an image and select a section of the image to process. The product processes the section of the image with a first process and when the first process is finished processing the section of the image, process a result of the first process with a second process. While the second process is processing, repeats the first process on another section of the image.

8. A computer implemented method of operating a machine that processes an image, the method comprising:
-
receiving an image; selecting by a computer a section of the image to process; apply optical character recognition by the computer to the section of the image; and
when finished processing the section of the image,processing by the computer a result of the optical character recognition with a different process, and while the different process is processing the result, selecting a subsequent section of the image to process; and applying optical character recognition on the subsequent section of the image. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
