Dynamic credit report obfuscation

A method for creating a customized and redacted credit report may include transmitting a user request to generate a customized credit report, receiving a copy of a stored credit report, analyzing the copy of the stored credit report, displaying one or more information fields and one or more selectable user interface elements, transmitting a credit report redaction list, and receiving a customized credit report. A user device for configuring a customized credit report may include a processor, a display in communication with the processor, and a non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform processing including transmitting a user request to generate a customized credit report, displaying one or more information fields and one or more selectable user interface elements, transmitting a credit report redaction list, and receiving a shareable credit report link associated with a customized credit report.

Systems and methods for creating enhanced documents for perfect automated parsing

The disclosed enhanced document creation and parsing systems deal with enhanced documents that allow for the presentation of document content in a preferred visual manner, while ensuring that the document content can be captured accurately by an automated parser with nothing being discarded or misrepresented. The enhanced document creation system may create an enhanced document by encoding document content in accordance with a defined schema, optionally encrypting the resulting structured data into an encrypted byte string, and embedding the encrypted byte string as non-visible metadata in a rendered document. The resulting enhanced document can be completely and accurately parsed by an enhanced document parsing system that is capable of extracting, decrypting and decoding the embedded document metadata.

A reading device includes a visible light source to irradiate a subject with light having a visible wavelength; an invisible light source to irradiate the subject with light having an invisible wavelength; first and second image sensors to receive reflected light from the subject being irradiated with the light having the visible wavelength and the light having the invisible wavelength, and circuitry. The first image sensor generates visible image data containing a first invisible component, and the second image sensor generates invisible image data of a second invisible component. The circuitry removes the first invisible component contained in the visible image data using the invisible image data. The circuitry multiplies the invisible image data with the correction coefficient that absorbs an individual variation in removal of the first invisible component, and the correction coefficient is generated based on the visible image data and the invisible image.

Printing-optimized security elements

A method for printing documents with security elements carried out by two separate, computer-supported systems. The computer-supported systems each have a printing system with a printing machine and a security system that perform steps of preparing a document with placeholders for the security elements in the image data by the computer of the security system, and transmitting the document to the printing system. The image data is converted into an output color space of the printing machine by the computer of the printing system, and the document is transmitted to the security system. The security elements are generated, and replacement of the placeholders with the security elements by the computer of the security system is performed. The document is transmitted to the printing system. The finished document is printed with the security elements by the printing machine of the printing system.

Inspection device, image forming apparatus, and program for inspection device
11605160 · 2023-03-14 · ·

An image inspection device includes a hardware processor executing an inspection for a first read image generated by reading a first sheet on which one image is formed, based on a reference image. When an operation for newly generating the reference image is performed in association with the inspection for the first read image, the hardware processor acquires second read images generated by respectively reading second sheets on each of which the one image is formed and generates the reference image using the inspection for the first read image. When an operation for using the generated reference image stored in a storage unit is performed in association with the inspection for the first read image, the hardware processor uses the reference image in the storage unit for the inspection for the first read image, without newly acquiring the second read images.

Information processing apparatus and control method
