1. A note management system, the system comprising:
- a device, comprising a sensor configured to generate a first image comprising a first visual representation of a scene having a plurality of physical notes, each of the physical notes comprising a separate physical object having a general boundary and recognizable content thereon; and
a processing unit comprising;
a note recognition module configured to receive, from the sensor, first image data associated with the first image and process the first image data, automatically identify one or more marks associated with one or more of the plurality of physical notes in the first image, determine a location associated with the one or more marks, and use the location to control the sensor to generate a second image comprising a second visual representation of the scene, wherein the second image comprises a zoomed-in image of one or more notes of the plurality of physical notes, the note recognition module further configured to determine the general boundary of one of the plurality of physical notes from the visual representation,a note authentication module configured to authenticate the one of the plurality of physical notes,a note extraction module configured to extract, in response to determining that the one of the plurality of physical notes is authenticated, the recognizable content of the one of the plurality of physical notes from the visual representation based on the determined general boundary of the one of the plurality of physical notes, anda note labeling module configured to label a digital note representing the one of the plurality of physical notes with a category.

Abstract
At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature systems and methods for managing notes. The note management system includes a note source, a note recognition module, a note extraction module, and a note labeling module. The note source is a visual representation of a scene having a note. The note recognition module is configured to receive the visual representation and determine a general boundary of the note from the visual representation. The note extraction module is configured to extract content of the note from the visual representation based on the determined general boundary. The note labeling module is configured to label the note with a category.

11. A method of managing notes, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a processing unit from a sensor, a first image comprising a first visual representation of a scene having a plurality of physical notes, each of the physical notes comprising a separate physical object having a general boundary and recognizable content thereon; identify, by the processing unit, one or more marks associated with the one or more of the plurality of physical notes in the first image; determine, by the processing unit, a location associated with the one or more marks; control, by the Processing unit, based on the location, the sensor to generate a second image comprising a second visual representation of the scene, wherein the second image comprises a zoomed-in image of one or more notes of the plurality of physical notes of the first visual representation of the scene; processing, by the processing unit, image data associated with the image to identify the general boundary of at least one of the plurality of physical notes; authenticating the one of the plurality of physical notes; in response to determining that the one of the plurality of physical notes is authenticated, extracting, by the processing unit and based at least in part on identifying the general boundary, the recognizable content of the one of the plurality of physical notes; and labeling, by the processor, respective digital notes representing each of the plurality of physical notes with a category. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A note management system, the system comprising:
-
a sensor configured to generate a first image comprising a first visual representation of a scene having a plurality of physical notes, each of the physical notes comprising a separate physical object having a general boundary and recognizable content thereon; and a processing unit comprising; a note recognition module configured to receive, from the sensor, first image data associated with the first image and process the first image data, automatically identify one or more marks associated with one or more of the plurality of physical notes in the first image, determine a location associated with the one or more marks, and control the sensor, based on the location, to generate a second image comprising a second visual representation of the scene, wherein the second image comprises a zoomed-in image of one or more notes of the plurality of physical notes, the note recognition module further configured to determine the general boundary of one of the plurality of physical notes from the second image, a note extraction module configured to extract the recognizable content of the one of the plurality of physical notes from the second image based on the determined general boundary of the one of the plurality of physical notes, and a note labeling module configured to label a digital note representing the one of the plurality of physical notes with a category.

19. A method of managing notes, the method comprising:
-
receiving, by a processing unit and from a sensor, a first image comprising a first visual representation of a scene having a plurality of physical notes, each of the physical notes comprising a separate physical object having a general boundary and recognizable content thereon; identifying, by the processing unit, one or more marks associated with the one or more of the plurality of physical notes in the first image; determining, by the processing unit, a location associated with the one or more marks; controlling, by the processing unit and based on the location, the sensor to generate a second image comprising a second visual representation of the scene, wherein the second image comprises a zoomed-in image of one or more notes of the plurality of physical notes of the first visual representation of the scene; processing, by the processing unit, image data associated with the second image to identify the general boundary of at least one of the plurality of physical notes; extracting, by the processing unit and based at least in part on identifying the general boundary, the recognizable content of the one of the plurality of physical notes from the second image; and labeling, by the processor, respective digital notes representing each of the plurality of physical notes with a category.
