The present disclosure relates to user-selected metadata related to images captured by a camera of a client device. User-selected metadata may include contextual information and/or information provided by a user when the images are captured. In various implementations, a free form input may be received at a first client device of one or more client devices operated by a user. A task request may be recognized from the free form input, and it may be determined that the task request includes a request to store metadata related to one or more images captured by a camera of the first client device. The metadata may be selected based on content of the task request. The metadata may then be stored, e.g., in association with one or more images captured by the camera, in computer-readable media. The computer-readable media may be searchable by the metadata.

Techniques for signer-initiated electronic document signing via an electronic signature service using a mobile or other client device are described. Example embodiments provide an electronic signature service (ESS) configured to facilitate the creation, storage, and management of documents and corresponding electronic signatures. In some embodiments, when a signer user receives a hard copy (e.g., paper) signature document, the signer may capture an image of the signature document with a camera of a mobile device. The signer can then import the captured image into the ESS for signature, storage, and/or transmission to other parties.

An electronic device associates first information and at least a first portion of a first image, and uses a second image that includes a portion corresponding to at least the first portion of the first image to access the associated first information.

This disclosure is directed to systems and methods for the delivery and maintenance of faxes where the faxes may remain at a faxing system for a minimal amount of time. The faxing system may send a queued fax to a connector responsive to a request from the connector to pull or retrieve a fax. The connector is configured to send a release notification to the faxing system after the fax is received. The faxing system is configured to delete the queued fax as soon as confirmation of the delivery of the fax can be determined or when an expiration time has elapsed.

A scanning network includes a central server configured to distribute a scan task. The scan task is associated with a scanning of an identified document. The scanning network further includes a plurality of imaging devices configured to receive and execute a scan task and a storage database configured to receive a document image created from execution of a scan task.

Methods and systems for aggregating digital content captured at an event. In one aspect, a connection is established from a computing device to a Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled event check-in point located at the event. The NFC enabled event check-in point is encoded with event identification information for the event. The event identification information includes an event Uniform Resource Locator (URL) for a webpage associated with a computing system. The computing device receives event identification information including the event URL from the NFC enabled event check-in point, and transmits digital images captured at the event to a computing system.

System, Method and Apparatus for generating a collection of images, the technique including providing at least two mobile devices with a data processing unit, a storage memory and a camera integrated therein or connected thereto; providing a master system with a data processing unit and a storage memory or configuring of one of the mobile devices as master system and configuring of the other or of all mobile devices as slave systems; setting a recording criterion in the master system; transmitting the recording criterion to the slave systems; setting a series ending criterion in the master system; transmitting the series ending criterion to the slave systems; respectively performing a process for recording an image on each slave system as long as the series ending criterion is not fulfilled comprising the steps of recording at least one image with the camera of one of the slave systems whenever the recording criterion is fulfilled, and sending the image from the slave system to the master system together with a time stamp, a series number and/or another variable for grouping the image; saving each of the images sent respectively with their time stamp, their series number and/or their variable for grouping in the storage memory of the master system; and generating a series of images comprising the images sent in order according to their time stamp, their series number and/or their variable for grouping.
