Abstract

A method of utilizing data extracted from an electronic image includes receiving an electronic image associated with a subclient and receiving a plurality of data extracted from the electronic image and organized into predefined fields associated with the subclient. The method also includes displaying the electronic image in a first portion of a user interface and, in a second portion of the user interface, a field table containing the plurality of data and associated field names.

Claims (34)

1. A method of utilizing data extracted from an electronic image, the method comprising:

receiving an electronic image associated with a subclient of a client;

wherein the subclient is a subunit of the client, the subclient comprising a classification of the client's forms;

receiving a plurality of data extracted from the electronic image and organized into predefined fields associated with the subclient; and

displaying the electronic image in a first portion of a user interface and, in a second portion of the user interface, a field table containing the plurality of data and associated field names.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising indicating in the user interface if a confidence level associated with data extracted into a field is below a predetermined threshold, the confidence level being indicative of whether the data was accurately extracted from the electronic image.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising providing a feedback interface in a third portion in the user interface.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic image is a .tiff file.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic image is a .pdf file.

6. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising automatically copying a selected value in the field table to memory.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data is extracted into the predefined fields via one or more rules attached to the predefined fields.

8. A system for utilizing data extracted from an electronic image over a network, the system comprising:

a production management server operable to provide an electronic image associated with a subclient of a client;

wherein the subclient is a subunit of the client, the subclient comprising a classification of the client's forms;

a database server operable to provide a plurality of data extracted from an electronic image and organized into predefined fields associated with the subclient;

a client computer configured to run an image view application having a user interface operable to:

display in a first portion of the user interface the electronic image; and

display in a second portion of the user interface a field table comprising the plurality of data and associated field names; and

a network interface operable to facilitate communication among the production management server, the database server, and the client computer.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the image view application is operable to indicate in the user interface if a confidence level associated with data extracted into a field is below a predetermined threshold, the confidence level being indicative of whether the data was accurately extracted from the electronic image.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the image view application is further operable to provide, in a third portion of the user interface, a feedback interface.

11. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic image is a .tiff file.

12. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the electronic image is a .pdf file.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of data is extracted into the predefined fields via one or more rules attached to the predefined fields.

14. Logic for utilizing data extracted from an electronic image, the logic encoded in non-transitory computer-readable media and operable when executed to:

receive an electronic image associated with a subclient of a client;

wherein the subclient is a subunit of the client, the subclient comprising a classification of the client's forms;

receive a plurality of data extracted from the electronic image and organized into predefined fields associated with the subclient; and

display the electronic image in a first portion of a user interface the electronic image and, in a second portion of the user interface, a field table containing the plurality of data and associated field names.

15. The logic according to claim 14 , wherein the logic, when executed, is operable to indicate in the user interface if a confidence level associated with data extracted into a field is below a predetermined threshold, the confidence level being indicative of whether the data was accurately extracted from the electronic image.

16. The logic according to claim 14 , wherein the logic, when executed, is operable to provide a feedback interface in a third portion in the user interface.

17. The logic according to claim 14 , wherein the electronic image is a .tiff file.

18. The logic according to claim 14 , wherein the electronic image is a .pdf file.

19. The logic according to claim 14 , wherein the plurality of data is extracted into the predefined fields via one or more rules attached to the predefined fields.
