Patent number: 9563696Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature systems and methods for managing notes. The note management system includes a note source, a note recognition module, a note extraction module, and a note labeling module. The note source is a visual representation of a scene having a note. The note recognition module is configured to receive the visual representation and determine a general boundary of the note from the visual representation. The note extraction module is configured to extract content of the note from the visual representation based on the determined general boundary. The note labeling module is configured to label the note with a category.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Willem V. Bastiaens, Gabriel A. Biller, Kristopher W. Clover, Brian R. Hackerson, Masuma W. Henry, Stephen M. June, Brian L. Linzie, Robert D. Lorentz, David M. Mahli, Richard J. Moore, Cristin E. Moran, Michael E. O'Brien, Scott D. Pearson, Dennard J. Powell, Olen Ronning, Guruprasad Somasundaram, Brian J. Stankiewicz, Diane R. Wolk

Patent number: 9378426Abstract: At least some aspects of the present disclosure feature systems and methods for note recognition. The note recognition system includes a sensor, a note recognition module, and a note extraction module. The sensor is configured to capture a visual representation of a scene having one or more notes. The note recognition module is coupled to the sensor. The note recognition module is configured to receive the captured visual representation and determine a general boundary of a note from the captured visual representation. The note extraction module is configured to extract content of the note from the captured visual representation based on the determined general boundary of the note.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: June 28, 2016Assignee: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: Gabriel A.
