Abstract
Example embodiments described herein are directed to utilizing image matching technology to allow people to use their mobile device to setup scan workflows (or 'Scan Flows') in advance of a future scanning operation. Using an application on a mobile device, the user takes a photo of the first page of a document that he/she will scan at some later time and associates the image of the document with a simple workflow (e.g., where to store the document once the document has been scanned). Additional workflow actions may include automatic document sharing and notification, automatic document segmentation, and automatic document cropping.
