Abstract: A method for optical character recognition of text and information on a curved surface, comprising: activating an image capture device; scanning of the surface using the image capture device in order to acquire a plurality of scans of sections of the surface; performing OCR on the plurality of scans; separating the OCRed content into layers for each of the plurality of scans; merging the separated layers into single layers; and merging the single layers into an image.

Abstract: Enables creating, displaying, and managing augmented reality (AR) messages linked to objects that display or contain identifiable information such as codes, including card products/prepaid card products, etc. Applies multi-factor recognition technology to process an object/card having a unique code. May utilize an application on a mobile device/computer, to capture an image of the object, recognize the signature of the object, convert the code into alphanumeric digits and generate a Unique Identification Token (UIT). The application can create a personalized AR message, e.g., text, 2D/3D image, freehand drawing, animation, video, audio, avatar character, or any combination, optionally enhanced with pre-made templates. The completed message is stored in a remote database with the UIT. The recipient of the object/card uses the application and captures an image of the object or card image with code, triggering the message experience that may display account balance information and targeted advertising.
