Methods and systems for adding supporting documents to an application form
The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for directly adding one or more supporting documents to an application form. The systems and methods include storing an electronic wallet of a user, including one or more supporting documents of the user. Further, the method includes receiving an application form for a pre-defined function including printing or scanning. Once received, a user interface is provided to the user to provide input on addition of the one or more supporting documents to the received application form. Thereafter, the received application form is processed. Further, based on the input from the user, one or more supporting documents and/or content of the one or more supporting documents are added to the received application form. Finally, the application form including the one or more supporting documents and/or content of the one or more supporting documents in the submitted application form is outputted.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, authenticating the user for addition of the one or more supporting documents to the submitted application form.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, retrieving the one or more supporting documents from the electronic wallet based on the input from the user.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, adding the one or more supporting documents to the application form based on the input from the user.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, extracting content from the one or more supporting documents based on the input from the user.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising, adding the extracted content in the application form based on the input from the user.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, allowing the user to at least: access or update the electronic wallet based on the authentication of the user.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, encrypting the one or more supporting documents stored in the electronic wallet before/while storing at the multi-function device.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, checking a pre-defined encryption option before providing access to the electronic wallet and/or the one or more supporting documents to the user.
11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising, disallowing access to the electronic wallet and/or the one or more supporting documents if the pre-defined encryption option is disabled.
12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, overwriting a memory of the multi-function device storing the electronic wallet or the one or more supporting documents of the user in at least one of situations: when the electronic wallet is removed from the multi-function device or the one or more supporting documents are removed from the multi-function device.
13. A multi-function device for integrating an electronic wallet at the multi-function device, the multi-function device comprising:
a memory for storing the electronic wallet comprising one or more supporting documents of a user in a pre-defined format; a user interface provided to the user to provide an input on addition of the one or more supporting documents to an application form;
a controller for:
receiving the application form for a pre-defined function comprising printing or scanning, wherein the application form comprising one or more pages;
processing the received form;
based on the input from the user, adding the one or more supporting documents or content of the one or more supporting documents to the submitted application form; and
outputting the application form comprising the one or more supporting documents and/or content of the one or more supporting documents in the submitted application form.
14. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the output comprises a printed application form or a scanned application form.
15. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the input comprising at least: one or more pages of the application form where the one or more supporting documents are to be added and selection of the one or more supporting documents for addition.
16. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller authenticates the user for the addition of the one or more supporting documents to the submitted application form.
17. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller retrieves the one or more supporting documents from the electronic wallet based on the input from the user.
18. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller adds the one or more supporting documents to the application form based on the input from the user.
19. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller extracts content from the one or more supporting documents based on the input from the user.
20. The multi-function device of claim 19 , wherein the controller adds the extracted content in the application form based on the input from the user.
21. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller allows the user to at least: access or update the electronic wallet based on the authentication of the user.
22. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller encrypts the one or more supporting documents stored in the electronic wallet before/while storing at the multi-function device.
23. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller checks a pre-defined encryption option before providing access to the electronic wallet and/or the one or more supporting documents to the user.
24. The multi-function device of claim 23 , wherein the controller disallows access to the electronic wallet and/or the one or more supporting documents if the pre-defined encryption option is disabled.
25. The multi-function device of claim 13 , wherein the controller overwrites a memory of the multi-function device storing the electronic wallet or the one or more supporting documents of the user in at least one of situations: when the electronic wallet is removed from the multi-function device or the one or more supporting documents are removed from the multi-function device.
26. A device for allowing a user to directly add one or more supporting documents to an application form, the device is for:
storing an electronic wallet of a user, comprising one or more supporting documents of the user;
receiving the application form for a pre-defined function comprising printing or scanning, wherein the application form comprising one or more pages;
providing a user interface to the user to provide an input on addition of the one or more supporting documents to the submitted application form;
scanning the received application form;
based on the input from the user, adding the one or more supporting documents and/or content of the one or more supporting documents to the submitted application form; and
outputting the application form comprising the one or more supporting documents or content of the one or more supporting documents in the submitted application form.
