Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a document analysis system and method. The document analysis system includes an interim analyzer configured to perform an interim document analysis to identify a number of interim regions on a digital document at an interim pixels-per-inch (PPI). The document analysis system also includes a complete analyzer configured to perform a complete analysis on at least one of the interim regions at a second PPI, thereby generating at least one complete region therefrom. The document analysis system and method provides significant flexibility to the user with a number of options relative to the analysis of the regions of information of interest in a digital document and to limit analysis to such preferred regions.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
A system for controlling document region analysis, comprising: means for performing an interim document analysis to identify a number of interim regions on a digital document at a first pixels-per-inch (PPI); and means for performing a complete analysis on at least one of the interim regions at a second PPI, thereby generating at least one complete region therefrom.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
58 words
A system for controlling document region analysis, comprising: means for performing an interim document analysis to identify a number of interim regions on a digital document at a first pixels-per-inch (PPI); and means for performing a complete analysis on at least one of the interim regions at a second PPI, thereby generating at least one complete region therefrom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprising means for manually selecting at least one of the interim regions for the complete analysis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprising means for automatically selecting at least one of the interim regions for the complete analysis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprising means for manually altering at least one of the interim regions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprising an interim region analysis queue to which at least one selected interim region is applied, the complete analysis being performed thereon, the interim region analysis queue having an analysis priority according to which the interim regions undergo the complete analysis.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
The system of claim 1 , further comprising means for displaying the interim regions, wherein the interim regions are identified with an interim indication, and the completed regions being identified with a complete indication.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
