INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INSPECTION SYSTEM, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING INSPECTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18629572 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INSPECTION SYSTEM, METHOD OF CONTROLLING INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING INSPECTION SYSTEM
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can extract data from printed materials and display the extracted information on a screen.
- The apparatus includes controllers with processors and memories for extracting data from printed materials.
- A display controller shows the extracted data on a display unit.
- A setting unit allows users to set areas on the displayed image for extraction processing.
- The display controller also displays a margin area for extraction processing, distinct from the set extraction area.
Potential Applications: - Document scanning and digitization - Text recognition and extraction - Data entry automation
Problems Solved: - Streamlining data extraction from printed materials - Improving efficiency in processing printed information
Benefits: - Faster data extraction from physical documents - Reduced manual data entry errors - Enhanced digital document management
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Data Extraction System for Document Processing" This technology can be used in industries such as: - Legal services for document review - Healthcare for patient record digitization - Administrative offices for data entry tasks
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the setting unit determine the areas for extraction processing? The setting unit allows users to manually select areas on the displayed image for extraction processing. 2. Can the apparatus extract data from handwritten text? The technology is primarily designed for extracting data from printed materials, but its capabilities with handwritten text may vary.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus includes one or more controllers having one or more processors and one or more memories, the one or more controllers being configured as an extractor configured to cause a reader to read a printed material sequentially conveyed from an image forming unit, and perform processing of extracting data from an image formed on the printed material, a display controller configured to display a received image on a display unit, and a setting unit configured to set, on the image displayed on the display unit, an area in which the extraction processing is performed. The display controller displays a margin area necessary for the extraction processing and identifiable with respect to the area set by the setting unit.
