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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18612836 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation: The image processing apparatus described in the patent application is designed to recognize characters in image data, display them to the user, allow the user to select characters, generate a folder path based on the selected characters, and transmit the image data to the corresponding folder.

  • The apparatus performs character recognition processing on image data.
  • It displays recognized characters to the user.
  • Users can select characters displayed on the screen.
  • The apparatus generates a folder path based on the selected characters.
  • It transmits the image data to the folder indicated by the folder path.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in document scanning applications, data entry processes, and digital filing systems where character recognition and organization are essential.

Problems Solved: The technology streamlines the process of organizing and storing image data by automating the recognition and filing of characters, reducing manual effort and potential errors.

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in character recognition and data organization - Reduction in manual data entry tasks - Enhanced accuracy in filing and storing image data

Commercial Applications: Title: Automated Character Recognition and Filing System This technology can be utilized in industries such as document management, data processing, and digital archiving services to enhance productivity and accuracy in handling large volumes of image data.

Prior Art: While there may be existing technologies related to character recognition and data organization, this specific combination of features for generating folder paths based on user-selected characters may be unique to this patent application.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in the field of image processing and artificial intelligence may be conducting studies on improving character recognition algorithms and optimizing data organization systems, which could be relevant to this technology.

Questions about Image Processing Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of character recognition processes? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in document management systems?


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus configured to perform character recognition processing to recognize characters included in image data and acquire character information, display characters indicated by the character information acquired, accept a selection of characters displayed by a user, generate a folder path based on the selected characters, and transmit the image data to a folder indicated by the folder path. In a case where the selection of characters is accepted multiple times, generate a folder path based on a combination of selected characters and transmit the image data to a folder indicated by the folder path.
