Abstract: A computer-vision based method for validating an activity workflow of a human performer includes identifying a target activity. The method includes determining an expected sequence of actions associated with the target activity. The method includes receiving a video stream from an image capture device monitoring an activity performed by an associated human performer. The method includes determining an external cue in the video stream. The method includes associating a frame capturing the external cue as a first frame in a key frame sequence. The method includes determining an action being performed by the associated human performer in the key frame sequence. In response to determining the action in the key frame sequence matching an expected action in the target activity, the method includes verifying the action as being performed in the monitored activity.

Abstract: A system of identifying one or more fillable fields of an electronic form may include an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium that includes one or more programming instructions. The programming instructions are configured to instruct the electronic device to receive an electronic form, identify fillable field candidates of the electronic form, and determine, for each fillable field candidate, whether the fillable field candidate is a fillable field. The system updates metadata associated with the electronic form by applying a sequencing framework to only the fillable fields by obtaining position information for each fillable field that indicates a position of the fillable field on the document, sorting the fillable fields based on the position information to form a sequence of fillable fields, determining a designator to each fillable field that indicates a position of a corresponding fillable field in the sequence, and storing the designator.

Abstract: A document validation system receives a scan image of a document to be certified, analyzes the scan image to identify one or more characteristics of the scan image, and uses the identified characteristics to identify a security template. In response to a validation request, the system uses the identified security template to create a validation document that includes descriptive material comprising the location of one or more security elements on the document to be certified.

Abstract: A document validation system receives a scan of a certified document. The system identifies a security template for the document, prompts a user to enter a validation document into the scanning device, receives the validation document, uses the security template identify the location of one or more security elements on the certified document, and analyzes the validation document to identify expected content that should appear on the certified document at the security element locations. The system determines whether the expected content matches actual content of the scan at the security element locations and generates a report of the result.

Abstract: According to embodiments illustrated herein there is provided a method for determining a psychological type of a user. The method includes determining a first score for the user based on a profile of the user on a social media platform. Further, a second score is determined for the user based on activities of the user on the social media platform. Thereafter, a third score is determined for the user based on context of conversations of the user on the social media platform, which is determined based on a part of speech of each word in the conversations using a context database. Each word is categorized based on at least the part of speech associated with the word. The third score is determined based on the categorization. The psychological type of the user is determined based on the first score, the second score, and the third score.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are presented for visual comparison of different portions of one or more source documents to emulate a paper folding gesture experience in a user device, in which the user uses a mouse or finger in a touchscreen device to circle two or more portions of interest in the same or separate source documents, and provides a different user input such as a pinch motion or zoom in feature to display the selected regions proximate one another for visual comparison.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to systems and methods for processing a check that is issued to an account holder by a bank. The method includes scanning, by a client device, at least one pre-defined machine-readable cypher that is present on the check, the check further defines at least one pattern; sending, by the client device, a service request including the scanned pre-defined machine-readable cypher to a server device; receiving, at the client device, a code that is tailored to the check based on an authentication of the service request from the server device, the code is machine-readable and includes at alphabet(s), a numeral(s), and/or a symbol(s); and changing the appearance, by the account holder, of the pattern on the check based on the received code.

Abstract: A system generates a secure barcode by: identifying a primary pattern for a two-dimensional barcode to be printed on a substrate, wherein the primary pattern comprises of a set of dark cells and a set of light cells; identifying a two-dimensional micro-shape, wherein the micro-shape has a size that is no larger than a size of each cell of the two-dimensional barcode; generating a secondary pattern comprising a plurality of the micro-shapes; and superimposing the secondary pattern with the primary pattern for the two-dimensional barcode to yield a secure barcode. The resulting two-dimensional barcode includes a primary pattern comprising a set of dark cells and a set of light cells, where the sets represent encoded data, along with a secondary pattern of micro-shapes that are superimposed with the primary pattern.
