SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RECOGNIZING INFORMATION IN FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS USING A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for recognizing information in a financial document using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- analyzing images of the financial document in an image data stream generated by an image capturing device of the mobile device;
capturing a first image from the image data stream;
transforming the first image to obtain a second image;
binarizing the second image to obtain a binarized image;
recognizing information in the binarized image; and
determining the validity of the recognized information.

Abstract
The systems and methods of the present disclosure use a mobile device equipped with a camera to capture and preprocess images of financial documents, and to recognize information in the images of financial documents. The methods include detecting quadrangles in images of a financial document in an image data stream generated by the camera, capturing a first image, transforming the first image, binarizing the transformed image, recognizing information in the binarized image, and determining the validity of the recognized information. The method also includes communicating with a server of the financial institution to determine the validity of the recognized information. The mobile device may include a camera, a display to display an image data stream and captured images, a memory to store a configuration file including parameters for the preprocessing and recognition functions, captured images, and software, and a communication unit to communicate with a server of the financial institution.

19. A mobile device for processing an image of a financial document and recognizing information in the processed image of the financial document, the mobile device comprising:
-
an image capturing device configured to generate an image data stream of images of the financial document and to capture a first image of the financial document; a memory coupled to the image capturing device and configured to store the captured first image; a display unit coupled to the image capturing device and configured to display the image data stream and the captured first image; and a processor coupled to the memory and the display unit, the processor configured to analyze images of the financial document in the image data stream prior to capturing the first image, to convert the first image to obtain a second image, to binarize the second image to obtain a binarized image, and to recognize information in the binarized image. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A mobile device for remotely recognizing information in a financial document, the mobile device comprising:
-
an image capturing device configured to generate an image data stream of images of the financial document and to capture a first image from the image data stream; a memory coupled to the image capturing device and configured to store the first image; a display unit coupled to the image capturing device and configured to display the image data stream and the first image; a processor coupled to the memory and the display unit, the processor configured to analyze images of the financial document in the image data stream prior to capturing the first image, to normalize the first image to obtain a normalized image, and to recognize information in the normalized image; and a communication unit coupled to the processor and the memory, the communication unit configured to transmit the normalized image and the recognized information to a server of a financial institution to further process the normalized image and the recognized information.
