IDENTIFYING PAYMENT CARD CATEGORIES BASED ON OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION OF IMAGES OF THE PAYMENT CARDS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method to categorize payment cards, comprising:
- receiving, by one or more computing devices and from a user computing device, an image comprising an image of a payment card;
extracting, by the one or more computing devices, one or more text objects and one or more visual objects from the image of the payment card;
retrieving, by the one or more computing devices and for each of the extracted one or more visual objects, a text description corresponding to the extracted one or more visual objects;
receiving, by the one or more computing devices and from the user computing device, a request to process a transaction and an input of a selection of the payment card for use in the transaction;
determining, by the one or more computing devices and based on the one or more extracted text objects and the one or more retrieved text descriptions corresponding to the extracted one or more visual objects, a categorical designation for the payment card as a credit card;
retrieving, by the one or more computing devices, a fee structure associated with the determined categorical designation; and
transmitting, by the one or more computing devices and to the user computing device, the retrieved fee structure and a request for an input selecting a payment card other than the user'"'"'s selected payment card, wherein the fee structure and the request are displayed via the user computing device.

Abstract
A user captures an image of a payment card via a user computing device camera. An optical character recognition system receives the payment card image from the user computing device. The system performs optical character recognition and visual object recognition algorithms on the payment card image to extract text and visual objects from the payment card image, which are used by the system to identify a payment card type. The system may categorize the payment card as a credit card or a non-credit card. In an example embodiment, the system determines that the payment card type is a credit card and transmits fee structure to the user. The user selects a second payment card for use in the transaction and the transaction is processed using financial account information associated with the second payment card.

7. A computer program product, comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable storage device having computer-executable program instructions embodied thereon that when executed by a computer cause the computer to categorize payment cards, the computer-readable instructions comprising; computer-readable program instructions to extract one or more text objects and one or more visual objects from one or more images of a payment card; computer-readable program instructions to retrieve, for each of the extracted one or more visual objects, a text description corresponding to the extracted one or more visual objects; computer-readable program instructions to receive, from the user computing device, an input of a request to process a transaction and a selection of the payment card for use in the transaction; computer-readable program instructions to determine, based on the one or more extracted text objects and the one or more retrieved text descriptions corresponding to the extracted one or more visual objects, a categorical designation for the payment card as a credit card; computer-readable program instructions to retrieve, a fee structure associated with the determined categorical designation; and computer-readable program instructions to transmit, to the user computing device, the retrieved fee structure and a request for an input requesting a payment card other than the user'"'"'s selected payment card, wherein the fee structure and the request are displayed by the user computing device. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system to categorize payment cards, comprising:
-
a storage device; and a processor communicatively coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor executes application code instructions that are stored in the storage device to cause the system to; extract one or more text objects and one or more visual objects from one or more images of a payment card; retrieve, for each of the extracted one or more visual objects, a text description corresponding to the extracted one or more visual objects; receive, from the user computing device, a request to process a transaction and an input of a selection of the payment card by a user associated with the user computing device for use in the transaction; determine, based on the one or more extracted text objects and the one or more retrieved text descriptions corresponding to the extracted one or more visual objects, a categorical designation for the payment card as a non-credit payment card; and process the transaction associated with the received request using financial account information associated with the selected payment card. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
