Integrated use of a portable image capture device into a workflow process
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for integrating use of a portable image capture device into a workflow process, the method comprising:
- initiating utilization of a portable image capture device with a workflow process, the workflow process including a template having at least one predetermined point at which data input, including captured image data, is expected;
directing collection of the data input by the portable image capture device; and
integrating the collected data input in the workflow process by automatically associating the collected data with the template, thereby generating an output document.

Abstract
Aspects for integrating use of a portable image capture device into a workflow process are described. The aspects include initiating utilization of a portable image capture device with a workflow process, the workflow process including a template having at least one predetermined point at which data input, including captured image data, is expected. The portable image capture device directs collection of the data input and integrates the collected data input into the workflow process by automatically associating the collected data with the template, thereby generating an output document.
