Abstract

In one example, a method for image triggered transactions includes capturing an image of a document with an imaging device and searching a database for a template matching the captured image. If a matching template is found for the captured image, then retrieving pre-authored tasks associated with the captured image, extracting fields from the image related to the tasks, processing the extracted fields to obtain content to complete the tasks; and executing the selected task. If a matching template is not found for the captured image, then an authoring application is launched to add the captured image as a new template and author tasks associated with the captured image.
