Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to obtain image data by a single scan, analyze the image data to extract a character string, generate a plurality of files from the image data, and generate a filename of each of the plurality of files using a character string extracted from the image data included in the corresponding file of the plurality of files. In a case where at least two generated filenames among the generated filenames of the plurality of files are the same, add an identifier and determine filenames so that the at least two filenames are distinguished.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus equipped with a scanner has a function of transmitting image data generated using the scanner to a folder. The image processing apparatus displays a screen including a display area for displaying information indicating a transmission destination of the image data and an area for receiving an instruction to transmit the image data to the transmission destination. In a case where a folder path specified as the transmission destination and having folder names arranged in order from an upper hierarchy to a target folder does not fit within the display area, the folder path is displayed in the display area in a format in which a beginning part of the folder path is omitted.

Abstract: On a user interface screen for a user to set a rule relating to property information used for filing a document image and distributing the document image into a folder, at least a first area for editing the rule, a second area displaying a plurality of items selectable by a user, and a third area displaying an image of a sample document are provided. Then, in a case where a particular item being displayed in the second area is activated by a mouse hover, a character area in the image of the sample document being displayed in the third area is highlighted, which corresponds to the particular item activated by the mouse hover.

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: The present disclosure helps prevent scan image data obtained by bulk reading of a plurality of documents from being divided at a position unintended by a user. An apparatus according to the present disclosure can display, on a screen, a list of a plurality of page images obtained by reading a plurality of documents in bulk, display, on the screen where the list of the plurality of page images is displayed, one or more page images similar to a page image specified by a user as one or more sectioning position candidates in a manner discriminable from other page images of the plurality of page images, and correct the one or more sectioning position candidates based on a correction instruction from the user.

Abstract: In a system, a setting window including at least a preview region in which a scanned image is previewed and a text field to which attribute information on the scanned image is input is displayed, when a character region within the scanned image previewed in the setting window is moused over, control to preliminarily display a character string corresponding to the moused-over character region in the text field is performed, and when the moused-over character region is clicked by a mouse, control to fix the character string preliminarily displayed in the text field is performed.

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.
