  • Patent number: 10984285
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a recognition unit, a memory, a registration unit, and an extraction unit. The recognition unit performs recognition of one or more characters included in an image and outputs character information indicating the one or more characters. The memory stores a first specific character and a second specific character in association with each other. The first specific character has an index taking on a value lower than a predetermined value. The index indicates accuracy of the recognition performed by the recognition unit. The second specific character is output after the recognition unit performs the recognition of the first specific character. The registration unit registers at least one character or at least one character string as an extraction target.

  • Patent number: 9870643
    Abstract: Provided is a development view generation system including a storage unit that stores information on a three-dimensional shape of an article, a development surface determination unit in which when there is a second surface adjacent to a first surface, the first surface being a determination target, and there is a third surface adjacent to the first surface and the second surface, if an angle between the first surface and the second surface and an angle between the first surface and the third surface are a pre-set threshold or less, the development surface determination unit determines the first surface as a development surface, and if any one of the respective angles is greater than the threshold, the development surface determination unit determines the first surface as a non-development surface, and a development view generation unit that generates a development view, for a surface which is determined as a development surface.
