SYSTEM AND METHOD IDENTIFICATION OF ITEMS IN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS

1 . A method for identifying items indicated in electronic documents, comprising:

obtaining an electronic document, the electronic document;

analyzing, via an optical recognition processor, the electronic document;

identifying, based on the optical recognition processor analysis, a plurality of item indicators of the electronic document; and

determining, based on the identified plurality of item indicators, at least one item indicated in the electronic document.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a type of each of the determined at least one item.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based on the item identifiers and the determined items, a value-added tax (VAT) amount charged for each determined item.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein determining the VAT amount charged for each determined item further comprises:

querying at least one web source, wherein the VAT amount charged for each item is determined based on a response to the query.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining, based on the item identifiers, whether each item is eligible for a value-added tax (VAT) reclaim.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

automatically submitting a VAT reclaim request, when it is determined that at least one of the determined items is eligible for a VAT reclaim.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein determining whether each item is eligible for a VAT reclaim further comprises:

querying at least one web source, wherein the VAT eligibility for each item is determined based on a response to the query.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the identified plurality of item indicators meets a predetermined threshold requirement.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein only item indicators sufficient to meet the predetermined threshold requirement are identified.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing one or more processing units to execute a method, the method comprising:

obtaining an electronic document, the electronic document including a plurality of item indicators;

analyzing, via an optical recognition processor, the electronic document;

identifying, based on the optical recognition processor analysis, the plurality of item indicators; and

determining, based on the identified plurality of item indicators, at least one item indicated in the electronic document.

11 . A system for identifying items indicated in electronic documents, comprising:

an optical recognition processor;

a processing circuitry; and

a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:

obtain an electronic document, the electronic document including a plurality of item indicators;

analyze, via the optical recognition processor, the electronic document;

identify, based on the optical recognition processor analysis, the plurality of item indicators; and

determine, based on the identified plurality of item indicators, at least one item indicated in the electronic document.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

determine a type of each of the determined at least one item.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

determine, based on the item identifiers and the determined items, a value-added tax (VAT) amount charged for each determined item.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the system is further configured to:

query at least one web source, wherein the VAT amount charged for each item is determined based on a response to the query.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the system is further configured to:

determine, based on the item identifiers, whether each item is eligible for a value-added tax (VAT) reclaim.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the system is further configured to:

automatically submit a VAT reclaim request, when it is determined that at least one of the determined items is eligible for a VAT reclaim.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the system is further configured to:

query at least one web source, wherein the VAT eligibility for each item is determined based on a response to the query.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the identified plurality of item indicators meets a predetermined threshold requirement.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein only item indicators sufficient to meet the predetermined threshold requirement are identified.
