  • Patent number: 11960530
    Abstract: A file management device comprising a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the processor configured to stores a feature included in a data file and a tag provided to the data file in association with each other as a provision rule, adds a tag to a newly input data file based on the stored provision rule, and displays the stored provision rule. The processor is further configured to displays the provision rule in an editable state by using a character string.

  • Patent number: 10972627
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprising a memory; a non-volatile memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and the non-volatile memory, the processor configured to: store a rectification history for a result of character recognition processing in association with items and item values; compare, for the respective items, a newly input result of the character recognition processing with the item values stored in the non-volatile memory; select a set of the item values stored in the non-volatile memory based on a result of the comparison; and correct the newly input result of the character recognition processing by using the selected set of the item values.

  • Patent number: 9641715
    Abstract: Provided is an information processing device including: a specifying unit that specifies a plurality of parts where a character string is described in image data; a layout information acquiring unit that acquires, for each of the plurality of specified parts, layout information including the position of the part in the image data and the size of described characters; and an estimating unit that calculates, for each of the plurality of parts, a likelihood as a character string having a predetermined attribute that can be included in the image data based on a positional relationship with other parts and on a size relationship with other parts, and estimates a part where a character string having the predetermined attribute is described based on the likelihood.

  • Patent number: 8861854
    Abstract: There are provided an image processing apparatus, a character recognition method and a computer-readable, non-transitory medium that can perform character recognition at high speed while retaining character recognition accuracy. The image processing apparatus includes a histogram generator for generating a histogram based on a pixel value of each pixel in an input image, a component judging unit for judging whether the input image contains a character component and whether the input image contains the character component and a non-character component, a binarization unit for producing a binary image based on edge strength of each pixel, when the input image contains both the character component and the non-character component, and for producing a binary image based on a luminance value of each pixel, when the input image contains the character component but does not contain the non-character component, and a character recognition unit for performing character recognition on the binary image.
