Patent number: 11537812Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire a first recognition result and a first recognition probability on target data from a first recognizer, acquire a second recognition result and a second recognition probability on the target data from a second recognizer, execute checking of the first recognition result and the second recognition result, and execute first control in a case where the first recognition result and the second recognition result match each other as a result of the checking. The first control is control for executing either of first processing or second processing on the matched recognition result and outputting a processing result based on at least one of the first recognition probability or the second recognition probability.

Patent number: 10817756Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a determination, first, second and third receiving, and first and second checking units, and a controller. When a determination result matches a first determination result, the first checking unit outputs a matching determination result as the final output. The second checking unit checks the first determination result against a second. The first and second determination results are respectively received by the first and second receiving units. When the first determination result matches the second, the second checking unit outputs the matching determination result as the final output. When the input information is received, the controller operates the determination, first receiving, and first checking units. When it is determined that the determination result does not match the first determination result, the controller operates selectively one of a unit set and the third receiving unit. The unit set is constituted by the second receiving and checking units.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventors: Shunichi Kimura, Masanori Sekino, Ikken So, Satoshi Kubota, Takuya Sakurai, Kumi Fujiwara, Kunikazu Ueno, Yutaka Koshi
