IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464088 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that performs character recognition processing on image data and stores the data in a folder with a name containing the recognized character string. The apparatus includes a transmission unit to send the image data and a reception unit to receive user instructions.

  • The image processing apparatus recognizes characters in image data and stores it in a folder with a relevant name.
  • The transmission unit sends the image data to the folder.
  • The reception unit receives instructions from the user.
  • If the character recognition result does not meet a predetermined condition, the image data is not transmitted until the user provides an instruction.
  • If the character recognition result satisfies the predetermined condition, the image data is automatically transmitted without requiring user instruction.

Potential Applications

  • Document management systems that automatically organize scanned documents based on their content.
  • Automated data entry systems that extract information from images and store it in a structured manner.
  • Image-based search engines that categorize and index images based on recognized text.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient organization and storage of image data based on recognized text.
  • Reducing manual intervention by automatically transmitting image data that meets certain criteria.
  • Streamlining document management and data entry processes by automating character recognition and storage.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and accuracy in organizing and retrieving image data.
  • Reduction in manual effort and time required for data entry and document management.
  • Enhanced search capabilities by indexing and categorizing images based on recognized text.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes a character recognition unit configured to perform character recognition processing for recognizing a character string included in image data, a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data to store the image data in a folder including a name containing the character string acquired by the character recognition processing, and a reception unit configured to receive an instruction from a user. In a case where a result of the character recognition processing by the character recognition unit does not satisfy a predetermined condition, the transmission unit does not transmit the image data until the reception unit receives the instruction from the user. In a case where the result of the character recognition processing by the character recognition unit satisfies the predetermined condition, the transmission unit transmits the image data without receiving the instruction from the user by the reception unit.
