  • Patent number: 10664798
    Abstract: Systems, methods and computer-readable media are disclosed for capturing purchase information regarding purchased items of a consumer. Upon receiving an image of a receipt (a receipt image) regarding a list of purchased items, receipt text is generated. The receipt text is processed to identify the purchased items in the receipt image. Accordingly, an iteration is begun to iterate through the item blocks of the receipt text. An item block corresponds to a discrete item in the receipt text. The processing comprises extracting textual elements from the item block and matching the textual elements to a known product. Upon matching the textual elements to a known product, the consumer inventory associated with the consumer is updated with regard to the purchase of the known product.

  • Publication number: 20180121978
    Abstract: Systems and methods for user-assisted processing of receipts to capture data from the receipts are presented. Upon receiving an image of a receipt, a receipt processing site processes the content of the receipt to identify potential product items. For those product items that would benefit from user assistance, sets of potential products items (each set corresponding to a particular area of the receipt image called an image box) are gathered and provided to the user in product item data. The product item data includes an image box for each set of potential product items. On a user computing device, a computer user evaluates the sets of potential product items and validates/clarifies the receipt content in view of the image boxes. Updated product item data is returned to the receipt processing site and the updated product data is used to update the product item information that the receipt processing site has generated regarding the received receipt.
