Abstract:
A method for generating an alert to enable a user to retrieve a printed document from an image scanning device is described. Multiple portions of a digital image of a printed document obtained through the scan task, are identified. Thereafter, movement of a scan-head assembly of an image scanning device is controlled so as to position the scan-head assembly over a target area of the printed document. The scan-head assembly may be activated to capture a reference image and a series of verification images of the target area of the printed document. Thereafter, the reference image and each of the series of images are compared. Based on the comparison, an alert is generated, wherein the alert is to indicate that the printed document is to be retrieved from the scanning device.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n determining a complexity factor for each of multiple portions of a digital image of a printed document upon detecting completion of a scan task by an image scanning device, wherein the scan task is to generate the digital image of the printed document; obtaining a reference digital image of a target area of the printed document, wherein the target area is identified based on the complexity factor of a corresponding portion of the digital image; obtaining intermittently a series of verification images of the target area of the printed document; comparing each of the series of verification images with the reference image to determine whether the printed document has been retrieved from the image scanning device; and generating, upon determining that the printed document has not been retrieved, an alert for a user to retrieve the printed document from the image scanning device.
