Patent ID: 8743440

Claim:
A method for classifying a document to be associated with at least one service, comprising a step according to which a scanner including a processor scans document, and the steps according to which the processor: develops at least one structure representative of the document; compares the representative structure of the document with at least one reference structure of the same nature and representative of said service; determines for each service at least one similitude value between the representative structure of the document and the reference structure of the same nature and representative of said service, and infers from said similitude value the service with which the document is to be associated, and thereby forms locally a proposal for classifying it, wherein the inference comprises a learning process according to which: a human user and/or a thereby associated remote and automatic service operator send back to the processor, via a control, an instruction for validation or invalidation of the proposal locally carried out by the processor, and the processor takes into account said instruction in subsequent service proposals, and promotes in subsequent proposals services having led to the sending of a validation instruction by the control.
