Abstract: To enable a user to more easily set a rule relating to folder allocation and file naming at the time of filing data, such as a document scanned image and a received facsimile, and storing the file. On a user interface screen for setting a rule relating to property information that is used at the time of allocating a file to a folder for storage, at least a first area for editing the rule and a second area displaying an item a user can select are provided. The item is a unit element for a user to set a character string configuring the property information and corresponds to a character string of an arbitrary attribute a user can set. Then, the rule is created by the item selected by a user from the second area being arranged at a position designated by the user in the first area.

Abstract: An apparatus includes: a display control unit that displays a UI screen for performing a predetermined process, the UI screen being a screen where unit blocks each assumed as a single continuous character string in a scan image are displayed to be selectable by the user; an OCR process unit that performs an OCR process on unit blocks selected by the user through the UI screen to thereby extract character strings; and a setting unit that sets incidental information for the predetermined process by using the character strings extracted by the OCR process unit. The display control unit separates a character string satisfying a predetermined separation condition among the character strings extracted by the OCR process unit from the unit blocks selected by the user, and displays the separated character strings on the UI screen such that the separated character strings are selectable by the user.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for moving thumbnails on a screen is provided. In a case where thumbnails desired by a user among a displayed list of thumbnails are moved by a drag-and-drop operation, if the number of thumbnails as movement targets is large, it takes time to perform a selection operation. Where one of a plurality of thumbnails displayed as a list is dragged and dropped by a user, based on a drop position, a thumbnail group including the dragged thumbnail and thumbnails positioned on a first side of the dragged thumbnail or on a second side, opposite the first side, of the dragged thumbnail among the displayed list of thumbnails is determined as a movement target for subsequent movement thereof.
