Patent ID: 8879783

Claim:
A computer-implemented method for extracting financial card information, comprising: receiving, by one or more computing devices, a digital image of a financial card; applying, by the one or more computing devices, an optical character recognition algorithm to the digital image of the financial card to obtain a result; identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a name associated with the card based on information obtained via application of the optical character recognition algorithm to the digital image of the financial card; determining, the one or more computing devices, a set of user data that indicates the identity of a user; comparing, by the one or more computing devices, the identified name to the set of user data for the user to determine that the name correlates to the identity of the user in data from the set of user data; and determining, by the one or more computing devices, a confidence level of the result of the optical character recognition algorithm based at least in part on the determination that the name correlates to the identity of the user in the data from the set of user data.
