First Claim
1. A method of providing individualized icon elements comprising:
- receiving an electronic document in a computer system, the electronic document representing an image mockup, by executing first instructions in the computer system;
scanning the electronic document to identify at least one mock icon therein, by executing second instructions in the computer system;
matching the mock icon to one or more corresponding icons which are available in a digital icon repository, each icon in the repository having associated metadata, by executing third instructions in the computer system; and
in response to said matching, providing the one or more corresponding icons with the associated metadata to an output device of the computer system in a form which is selectable by a user, by executing fourth instructions in the computer system.

Abstract
Individualized icon elements are provided to a development team implementing a user interface or other image content for a new software application. A computer system receives an electronic document representing an image mockup from a designer, and scans the electronic document to identify mock icons. The mock icons are matched to corresponding icons in a digital icon repository. Each icon in the repository has associated metadata such as file name, description, file format, location, etc. Icons may be available with different file formats. The corresponding icons are provided with associated metadata in a form which is selectable by a developer. Corresponding icons may be provided by displaying icon images with respective confidence values representing an estimated likelihood of matching. A desired icon can be selected for inclusion in an icon package, and thereafter be removed from the list of available icons in the icon repository for the current project.
