IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18195384 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

- The patent describes a technology that includes various components for processing and recognizing characters in an input image. - The technology includes an acquirer that obtains the input image and a character recognizer that performs character recognition processing to identify characters in the image. - An image processor then applies image processing techniques to the input image based on the results of the character recognition processing. - An outputter is responsible for generating an output file, which can include either the result of the image processing or the result of the character recognition processing. - The technology also includes a controller that can restrict the use of the character recognition processing result in the output file, regardless of the initial settings. - This means that when a specific second setting is enabled, the controller prevents the use of the character recognition result in the output file, regardless of any other settings. - The purpose of this restriction is not specified in the abstract.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is a technology or the like including an acquirer that acquires an input image, a character recognizer that performs character recognition processing for recognizing a character included in the input image based on a first setting, an image processer that executes image processing on the input image based on a result of the character recognition processing, an outputter that outputs an output file using at least one of a result of the image processing and the result of the character recognition processing, and a controller that restricts, when a second setting is set, a use of the result of the character recognition processing in the outputter regardless of the first setting.
