  • Patent number: 10146803
    Abstract: A method includes receiving user input defining a workflow comprising one or more activities and one or more rules; receiving user input defining a user interface (UI) configured to facilitate a user performing the workflow at least in part using a processor of a mobile device; and generating a mobile software application based on the workflow and the UI. In another embodiment, a method includes: instantiating a mobile application on a mobile device; launching a workflow within the mobile application, the workflow comprising one or more activities and one or more rules; rendering one or more user interfaces based at least in part on the workflow; displaying at least one of the user interfaces on a display of the mobile device; receiving user input via at least one of the user interfaces; and modifying the workflow based at least partially on user input. Systems and computer program products are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170147572
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a mobile device, an image depicting a document; attempting to classify, using a processor of the mobile device, the document depicted in the image to one of a plurality of predetermined document classes, wherein attempting to classify the document results in an ambiguous classification result; determining, using the mobile device, location information identifying a geographic location of the mobile device at a particular time; and disambiguating, using the processor of the mobile device, the ambiguous classification result based on the location information. Exemplary systems and computer program products are also described.

  • Publication number: 20140316841
    Abstract: A method for leveraging location-based information to influence business workflows includes initiating a workflow, performing at least one operation within the workflow using a processor of a mobile device; receiving location information pertaining to the workflow; and influencing at least a portion of the workflow based on the location information. The workflow is configured to facilitate a business process. In some embodiments, the method includes determining location information corresponding to the mobile device, prompting a user to capture and image of a document, associating the location information with the captured image as location metadata, and storing the location metadata and captured image to a memory of the mobile device. Exemplary systems and computer program products are also described.
