Distinguishing between similar forms

摘要

A system for identifying distinguishing features between an input new blank form and another blank form. The system includes a processor and memory capable of identifying a property in the input form which is sufficiently distinguishable from a corresponding property in the other form. The identified property complies with a criterion that relates to the likelihood that the property is retained substantially invariable under use of the form. The specified property constitutes a verification property. In the case that no property is identified as a verification property, identifying a property in the other form which is sufficiently distinguishable from a corresponding property in the input form. This identified property complies with a criterion that relates to the likelihood that the property is retained invariable under use of the input form. The latter property constitutes a rejection property. <IMAGE>
