IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18340711 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can read an original document and generate image data. It can also receive a selection of a stored file from a user and acquire character information from the image data. The apparatus then performs processing to insert the acquired character information into the selected file.

  • The image processing apparatus can read an original document and generate image data.
  • It can receive a selection of a stored file from a user.
  • The apparatus can acquire character information from the image data generated by the reading unit.
  • It performs processing to insert the acquired character information into the selected file.

Potential Applications

  • Document scanning and editing: The apparatus can be used to scan documents and insert the extracted character information into selected files, allowing for easy editing and manipulation of scanned documents.
  • Data extraction: The acquired character information can be used to extract specific data from scanned documents and insert it into relevant files or databases.
  • Automated document processing: The apparatus can automate the process of inserting character information from scanned documents into selected files, saving time and effort in manual data entry tasks.

Problems Solved

  • Manual data entry: The apparatus eliminates the need for manual data entry by automatically extracting character information from scanned documents and inserting it into selected files.
  • Error-prone data entry: By automating the data entry process, the apparatus reduces the chances of human errors that can occur during manual data entry tasks.
  • Time-consuming document processing: The apparatus streamlines the document processing workflow by automating the insertion of character information, saving time and increasing efficiency.

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency: The apparatus automates the process of inserting character information into selected files, reducing the time and effort required for manual data entry tasks.
  • Improved accuracy: By eliminating manual data entry, the apparatus reduces the chances of errors that can occur during the process, resulting in more accurate data.
  • Streamlined document processing: The apparatus simplifies the document processing workflow by automating the insertion of character information, making it easier to handle and manipulate scanned documents.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes a reading unit configured to generate image data by reading an original, a reception unit configured to receive selection of a stored file from a user, an acquisition unit configured to acquire character information from the image data generated by the reading unit, and an execution unit configured to perform processing for inserting the character information acquired by the acquisition unit into the selected file.
