  • Patent number: 11263383
    Abstract: A document architecture system includes an intelligent document processing engine that can receive raw data streamed from external data source(s), analyze the raw data to identify triggering events, apply rules to the triggering events identified, break down the raw data accordingly, and generating messages in an internal format to represent the pieces of data without any formatting or layout information. The messages can be augmented with custom metadata and stored as fragments that reference, but that do not physically incorporate, the messages. The stored fragments can be used by the document process engine to intelligently render documents and versions thereof. Some embodiments store only unique fragments, resulting in a significant reduction in storage requirements and an extremely efficient way of processing huge amounts of data (e.g., millions of documents) for document production. The messages and fragments are in internal formats under control of the document architecture system.

  • Patent number: 11250255
    Abstract: Disclosed is a new document processing solution that combines the powers of machine learning and deep learning and leverages the knowledge of a knowledge base. Textual information in an input image of a document can be converted to semantic information utilizing the knowledge base. A semantic image can then be generated utilizing the semantic information and geometries of the textual information. The semantic information can be coded by semantic type determined utilizing the knowledge base and positioned in the semantic image utilizing the geometries of the textual information. A region-based convolutional neural network (R-CNN) can be trained to extract regions from the semantic image utilizing the coded semantic information and the geometries. The regions can be mapped to the textual information for classification/data extraction. With semantic images, the number of samples and time needed to train the R-CNN for document processing can be significantly reduced.

  • Patent number: 11227097
    Abstract: A template built by a user may be converted by a Server Script Generation Engine (SSGE) into script code. In converting, the SSGE may load and parse a framework file containing static script syntax to locate insertion points, each associated with an iteration number, and may iteratively parse the template, utilizing the iteration number to resolve, in order, tags and sub-tags contained in the template. If a tag is set to respond to the iteration number, a function of the tag is invoked to process any related sub-tags and return a script associated therewith at the appropriate insertion point. The framework file (with the appropriate script code inserted) is compiled and stored in a compiled script object which can be run multiple times to perform all of the output functions expected by the user in lieu of the need to reconvert the template.
