SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SETTING DATA EXTRACTION FIELDS FOR SCANNER INPUT

摘要

The subject application is directed to a system and method setting data extraction fields for scanner input. Electronic document image data is generated from a tangible document that has an associated predefined layout, and a corresponding image is generated on an associated display. A zone area is generated as a sub-portion disposed with the displayed image and positioning data is received that corresponds to a user-selected location of a zone area relative to the electronic document image. User-selected tag data associated with each zone area is received and stored associatively with positioning data in accordance with a document identifier corresponding to the tangible document in a data storage. Image data of tangible documents is generated, with each tangible document having the predefined layout. Character data is extracted from image data of each document according to positioning data and stored associatively with tag data in an associated database.
