  • Patent number: 10091396
    Abstract: A reading device scans receipts, and transmits image data of the receipts to an analyzer. The analyzer receives the image data, extracts images of the receipts from the image data; counts a number of the images; executes a character recognition process to obtain text data; transmits, to the display device, a number of all of the images, and sequentially transmits, to the display device, the images for which the character recognition process has been completed, together with the text data. The display device sequentially displays each image, together with the text data; and upon detecting that the number of all of the images matches a number of the sequentially transmitted images, receives a command to report to the analyzer that the reception the images is completed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9959292
    Abstract: A smart device includes a storage device, an imaging unit configured to capture a photo image, an input unit configured to input data to a predetermined field of a virtual display panel image, an image editing unit configured to create a virtual display panel-added photo image by superimposing the virtual display panel image having the data input to the predetermined field by the input unit on the photo image captured by the imaging unit, a first verification information generating unit configured to generate first verification information with respect to the virtual display panel-added photo image based on at least the photo image of the virtual display panel-added photo image, and a verification information storage unit configured to create a verification information/virtual display panel-added photo image that stores the first verification information and the data input to the predetermined field as metadata of the verification information/virtual display panel-added photo image.
