The present invention is a system and method for generating quotations from a reference document on a touch sensitive display device or other handheld device, including the following steps: (a) providing a reference document; (b) displaying the reference document; (c) capturing an image of a portion of the reference document; (d) editing the captured portion of the reference document; and (e) generating a quotation comprising an image quotation and a bibliographical reference to a referenced portion of the reference document. The present invention may be used in Apple iPhones&#xae;, hand-held devices that inspectors may use to quote reference documents to substantiate statements of problems found during industrial inspections, and in other purposes.

System and method for generating quotations from a reference document on a touch sensitive display device

The present invention is a system and method for generating quotations from a reference document on a touch sensitive display device or other handheld device, including the following steps: (a) receiving a first input from a user designating a first point in a captured image of the reference document to define a first corner of a crop rectangle; (b) receiving a second input from the user designating a second point in the captured image to define a second corner of the crop rectangle, wherein the first input is released before the second input is initiated; (c) cropping the captured image from the first point to the second point of the crop rectangle when the second input is released to generate an image quotation; and (f) generating a quotation data object comprising the image quotation and a bibliographical reference to a referenced section of the reference document which contains the image quotation. After the image quotation has been cropped, it may be annotated using a similar two-touch method. The present invention may be used in smart phones such as Apple iPhones&#xae;, or industrial hand-held devices that inspectors may use to quote reference documents, and in other purposes.

The present invention relates to configuration of inspection systems and compliance verification systems using a handheld device and a remote database. Disclosed here is a method for configuring a project having one or more installation of assets for use with an industrial inspection compliance system, including the steps of (a) defining an installation and storage area for the project; (b) assigning the assets uniquely into the one or more installation or storage area; (c) segmenting each asset into components; (d) assigning logical inspection points for the project, installations, and the assets; (e) defining inspection criteria for each logical inspection point; (f) assigning tag locations for a machine-readable tag having a unique serial number at or near each logical inspection point; (g) capturing a media sample of each logical inspection point; (h) capturing location coordinates for each logical inspection point; and (i) requiring the collection of data such as a unique machine-readable tag serial number, media sample, location coordinates, and an encrypted security signature to confirm that the inspection actions actually occurred.
