Abstract: A document processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor receives a document in which components suitable for a creation purpose are disposed. The processor extracts a piece of pattern information from pattern information stored in a memory. The extracted pattern information corresponds to the creation purpose of the received document. The memory stores the pattern information in which item values of items are set in association with a document creation purpose. The item values of the items define a document pattern. The processor refers to the extracted pattern information and sets a pattern for the components disposed in the received document.

Abstract: A change degree deriving apparatus includes a receiving unit and a deriving unit. The receiving unit is configured to receive first image data of an object including an achromatic color and a first color and reference image data of the object. The first image data relates to the first color. The reference image data serves as a reference. The deriving unit is configured to derive a change degree of the object from a first difference based on the first image data and the reference image data received by the receiving unit. The first difference is a difference between the first image data and the reference image data, which occurs at a chromatic color portion when a portion corresponding to the achromatic color is set as a reference.

Abstract: A change degree deriving apparatus includes a receiving unit and a change acquiring unit. The receiving unit receives image data and new product image data. The image data is obtained by capturing an object, through/from which a light source having a known spectral characteristic is transmitted/reflected, under a condition with no influence of sunlight.
