Abstract: A document processing apparatus 200 has a processor that executes programs, and a memory that stores the programs to be executed by the processor. The document processing apparatus 200 links a certain character array in a document with a character array located to a right side thereof from the certain character array or a region including the certain character array towards the right side thereof and below, and generating a network for multiple hypothetical document structures by linking the certain character array to a character array located therebelow.

Abstract: A question document is divided into predetermined areas, and it is judged whether each divided area is important, to thereby extract an important area. A reply example candidate likelihood value is calculated for each important area, the likelihood value indicating the degree representative of whether each reply example candidate corresponds to a question content. By using the reply example candidate likelihood value, important areas having similar meanings are combined to extract final important parts. A reply example candidate is selected for each important part from reply example candidates prepared beforehand. A reply example candidate reliability degree representative of certainty of each reply example candidate and a reply composition degree indicating whether it is necessary to compose a new reply are calculated, and by using these values, question documents are distributed to different operator terminals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile device with a built-in image capture device, and a character recognition function to present the information gathered with the character recognition result. With the mobile device, the character line extraction process is displayed whenever necessary, and the resolution of an image to be inputted for recognition processing is enhanced. Accordingly, it is possible for the operator to select the target character line with ease. In addition, the mobile device has a character recognition ratio improved by the enhancement in resolution.
