Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Fields of the Invention

The present invention relates to an AI-assisted document organization system, and more particularly, to a system that utilizes artificial intelligence to assist in the classification of individual documents.


Descriptions of Related Art

International import and export of goods are quite complex, involving the processing of import and export documents, payment of tariffs, customs clearance, insurance, and tracking of goods. Therefore, it is a common choice for businesses involved in the import and export of goods to collaborate with freight forwarders (shipping agents).


The freight forwarding industry needs to handle a significant volume of documents, such as documents issued by carriers or other agents. Therefore, document processing is a complex and critical task involving a large number of documents and information.


In traditional business operations, document organization and classification are still entirely manual, leading to high labor costs and low efficiency. The reasons for this issue include the large volume of international or loan business documents, reliance on manual data entry, document tracking in international freight, ensuring the complexity of documents' legality and compliance with various countries, complex approval processes, and the vulnerability of paper documents to damage.


Recognizing the above problems, if the current market continues to rely solely on manual document organization, maintaining competitiveness would require more investment in human resources. However, the increasing cost associated with additional manpower would gradually erode the company's profits, making it difficult to survive in the market. Therefore, there is a need to improve the traditional approach to document organization.


The present invention intends to provide an AI-assisted document organization system that eliminates the shortcomings mentioned above.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention utilizes an identification equipment to recognize the content of paper documents and employs a processing unit containing an artificial intelligence software. Based on reasonable document organization goals, the system combines network data, intelligently computes the optimal organization solution for document data, classifies it, and stores it in a database. In this process, human intervention is only required when presenting the document to the identification equipment for content recognition. The rest of the procedure relies on artificial intelligence to handle the majority of tasks. Compared to the traditional manual approach to document organization, the system significantly reduces operational costs and effectively addresses the labor-intensive nature of traditional document organization. The present invention is innovative and progressive in comparison to conventional document organization methods that rely entirely on manual labor.


The present invention relates to an AI-assisted document organization system includes an internet equipment, an identification equipment, a processing unit which is matched and connected to the internet equipment and the identification equipment. The processing unit includes a central processor, an artificial intelligence software and a document organization software. The document organization software includes document organization goals which include automatic document classification and identification, artificial intelligent data extraction, automatic data verification, automatic approval verification, compliance and regulatory compliance, document tracking and control, automatic reporting, and notification. The central processor drives the artificial intelligence software. The processing unit acquires document data through the identification equipment. The artificial intelligence software reads the document data and, based on the document organization goals set by the document organization software, to search relevant information via the internet equipment and intelligently calculate the best organization solution for the obtained document data. The database stores the classified and organized document data.


The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
