  • Patent number: 12135708
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods may receive a data record from either a legacy data source or a modern data source and determine whether the record satisfies a first set of validation rules. When the record fails to satisfy the first set of rules, reject the record for storage in a data store. When the record satisfies the first set of rules, determine whether the record satisfies a second set of validation rules. When the record satisfies the second set of rules, store the record in the data store with an indicator that the record satisfies the all rules. When the record fails to satisfy the second set of rules, if the source was a modern data source reject the record, and if the source was a legacy data source store the record in the data store with an indicator that it fails to satisfy the second set of rules.

  • Patent number: 12136266
    Abstract: A user device may capture a plurality of preview images that each include image data. The user device may process, in substantially real-time, a preview image to identify an object in the preview image, including determining an outline of the object. The user device may create a mask that hides a portion of the image data associated with an area outside of the outline of the object in one or more of the preview images. Based on determining that a parameter associated with glare of the object in the preview images does not satisfy a threshold, the user device may provide, in substantially real-time, feedback to a user, including an instruction to the user to perform an action with respect to the user device or to the object, and, based on determining that the parameter satisfies the threshold, the user device may automatically capture an image of the object.
