First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image feature processing apparatus comprising:
- an image capture device for capturing a set of image data;
a preliminary image recognition mechanism operative to identify and analyze potential characteristics included in the set of captured image data, wherein preliminary image recognition comprises automated identification of a feature based upon at least partial recognition of the feature; and
a notification mechanism configured to notify a user, without artificial delay, of a result of the preliminary image recognition as compared to predefined parameters.

7. A method of preliminary optical character recognition and notification, the method comprising the method steps of:
-
identifying at least one potential text character from a captured document image, wherein an electronic device with image capture capabilities is configured to store the document image; analyzing the at least one potential text character with preliminary optical character recognition, wherein the analyzing creates results based on an ability to recognize at least one text character, and wherein the preliminary optical character recognition comprises one or both a partial character recognition or a character recognition of a portion of the at least one text character; and transmitting the results to a notification device configured to notify a user of the results based on predefined parameters of a fail result or a success result. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
