Systems and methods for note content extraction and management using segmented notes
First Claim
1. A method of extracting content from a note with color segments using a computer system having one or more processors and memories, comprising:
- receiving, by the one or more processors, image data comprising a visual representation of a note having a plurality of predefined color segments, wherein at least two of the plurality of color segments are different in size;
generating, by the one or more processors, a plurality of indicators, each indicator indicative of a color class of a respective pixel or group of pixels in the image data and based on color values of the pixel or group of pixels;
based on the generated plurality of indicators, determining, by the one or more processors, general boundaries within the image data of the color segments; and
extracting, by the one or more processors and from the image data, content comprising a set of multiple content pieces using the general boundaries, each of the content pieces corresponding to a different one of the color segments of the note.

Abstract
Techniques for creating and manipulating software notes representative of physical notes are described. A note management system comprises a note recognition module configured to receive image data capturing a note having a plurality of color segments, wherein the note recognition module is further configured to generate a plurality of indicators, each indicator indicative of a color class of a pixel or group of pixels within the image data and based on color values of the pixel or group of pixels; and a note extraction module configured to determine general boundaries of the color segments of the note based on the plurality of indicators and extract content using the general boundaries, the content comprising a plurality of content pieces, each of the content pieces corresponding to one of the color segments of the note.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device comprising instructions that cause a programmable processor to:
-
receive image data containing a visual representation of a scene having a plurality of physical notes, each of the plurality of physical notes having a plurality of color segments, wherein at least two of the plurality of color segments are different in size; generate, by the one or more processors, a plurality of indicators, each indicator indicative of a color class of color values of one or more pixel within the image data; process the image data to determine, based on the plurality of indicators, a boundary within the image data of a first physical note of the plurality of physical notes; process the image data to determine, based on the indicators and the boundary for the physical note, boundaries for each of the color segments of the first physical note; extract, from the image data, respective content for each of the color segments of the first physical note using and the boundaries for each of the color segments of the physical note; create a digital note representative of the first physical note, the digital note having data indicating each of the color segments for the physical note; and associate the respective content pieces extracted from the image data with the corresponding color segments of the digital note. - View Dependent Claims (20)
