CONTEXTUALIZATION OF MACHINE INDETERMINABLE INFORMATION BASED ON MACHINE DETERMINABLE INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method of processing electronic document images, the method comprising:
- receiving an electronic document image, the electronic document image comprising at least a portion of which may be determinable by a machine;
contextualizing information related to a document type of the electronic document image based on machine determinable information of the electronic document image;
presenting the contextualized information to a user to facilitate interpretation thereof and, in response thereto, receiving data representative of the document type of the electronic document image;
retrieving, from a data store, metadata associated with the document type, wherein the metadata comprises a description of a plurality of regions of the electronic document image, an action criterion and a document handling action;
deriving a plurality of data items from the plurality of regions of the electronic document image described by the metadata;
determining, by a processor, whether the electronic document image satisfies the action criterion based on at least one of the plurality of data items; and
initiating the document handing action when the electronic document image satisfies the action criterion.

Abstract
A system for contextualizing machine indeterminable information based on machine determinable information may include a memory, an interface, and a processor. The memory may store an electronic document image which may include information determinable by a machine and information indeterminable by a machine. The processor may be operative to receive, via the interface, the electronic document image. The processor may determine the machine determinable information of the electronic document image and may identify the machine indeterminable information of the electronic document image. The processor may contextualize the machine indeterminable information based on the machine determinable information. The processor may present the contextualized machine indeterminable information to the user to facilitate interpretation thereof. In response thereto, the processor may receive, via the interface, data representative of a user determination associated with the machine indeterminable information.

19. A method for facilitating data extraction from electronic document images, the method comprising:
-
receiving an electronic document image, wherein the electronic document image comprises typographic information and a plurality of handwritten items; determining at least one value corresponding to at least one of the plurality of handwritten items; assembling a graphical user interface for identifying any remaining values corresponding to the plurality of handwritten items, the graphical user interface displaying the electronic document image, wherein the at least one value of the at least one of the plurality of handwritten items is displayed as an editable value; providing the graphical user interface to a computing device; receiving, via the graphical user interface, any remaining values corresponding to the plurality of handwritten items; and storing the plurality of values in a data store. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
