  • Publication number: 20240064249
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured in which an area to be processed in a document is specified using a position of a marker placed on a surface of the document. When the marker is placed, the processor uses a placement position of the marker to specify the area to be processed and register area information indicating the area to be processed. When the marker is not placed and the area information is registered, the processor executes predetermined processing with respect to the area to be processed that is indicated by the area information. When the marker is not placed and the area information is not registered, if the area information is registered after a predetermined area of the document is registered as a target, the processor specifies the area to be processed as indicated by the area information as the area to be targeted by the processing.

  • Publication number: 20240062406
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire captured data of an image captured surface that is captured by an image capturer, a document, a first definition portion in which a first process that is performed on image data of an image of the document is defined, and a second definition portion in which a second process that differs from the first process is defined being placed on the image captured surface; and perform the first process that is defined in the first definition portion and the second process that is defined in the second definition portion on the image data of the document that is contained in the captured data that is acquired.

  • Publication number: 20240064250
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a captured image of an image captured surface that is captured by an image capturer, a document and a mark portion that displays a predetermined mark being placed on the image captured surface; and cause a display to display the captured image to which content information that represents a content of a process that is defined in the mark portion and that is performed on image data is added before the document is optically read into the image data.

  • Patent number: 11412102
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: acquire a read image and item information, the read image being an image obtained by reading a paper medium including plural documents, the item information being information of plural items specified by a user from among plural items contained in the documents; extract plural character strings from the read image, each character string being associated with the corresponding one of the items included in the item information; in response to extracting the character strings associated with the item information from the read image, set a split position, the split position being a position at which to split out a portion of the read image as a set of documents, the portion being a portion of the read image from a page where the extracting has begun to a page containing the last extracted character string; and output the read image split in accordance with the split position.
