Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire patient's medical information, an extraction unit configured to extract a part of the medical information as material candidates for a reduced medical image, a selection unit configured to assign priorities to a plurality of the extracted material candidates, and, based on the priorities, select materials to be used for generation of the reduced medical image out of a plurality of the material candidates, and a generation unit configured to generate the reduced medical image based on a plurality of the selected materials.
Claims19
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a program;
- and
- one or more processors which, by executing the program, function as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire patient's medical information including medical documents and medical images;
- a determination unit configured to determine the number of materials to be used for generation of a thumbnail;
- an extraction unit configured to extract a part of the medical documents and the medical images as the material for the thumbnail based on the patient's medical information, wherein the extraction unit extracts a string of characters from the medical documents as a first material and extracts a representative medical image including a lesion area from the medical images as a second material in the case where the determination unit determines the number of materials to be at least two;
- an assignment unit configured to assign a plurality of priorities to the first material and the second material, wherein a low priority is assigned to the first material and a high priority is assigned to the second material;
- and
- a generation unit configured to generate the thumbnail including the string of characters and the representative medical image by combining the first material and the second material, wherein the generation unit generates the thumbnail so that an area of the second material is larger than an area of the first material, in accordance with the assigned priorities.

An information apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a program;
- and
- one or more processors which, by executing the program, function as:
- an acquisition unit configured to acquire patient's medical information including medical documents and medical images;
- a determination unit configured to determine the number of materials to be used for generation of a thumbnail;
- an extraction unit configured to preferentially extract the medical images based on the number of materials determined by the determination unit as the material for the thumbnail based on the patient's medical information, wherein the extraction unit extracts a string of characters from the medical documents as a first material and extracts a representative medical image including a lesion area from the medical images as a second material in the case where the determination unit determines the number of materials to be at least two;
- a generation unit configured to generate the thumbnail including the string of characters and the representative medical image by combining the first material and the second material, wherein the generation unit generates the thumbnail so that an area of the second material is larger than an area of the first material, wherein the thumbnail is divided based on the number of materials determined by the determination unit;
- a display control unit configured to control a display unit to display a plurality of thumbnails including the string of characters and the representative medical image generated by the generation unit in the time series.

An information processing method executed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- acquiring patient's medical information including medical documents and medical images;
- determining the number of materials to be used for generation of a thumbnail;
- preferentially extracting the medical images based on the determined number of materials as the material for the thumbnail based on the patient's medical information, wherein a string of characters from the medical documents as a first material and a representative medical image including a lesion area from the medical images as a second material are extracted in the case where the number of materials to be at least two materials is determined;
- generating the thumbnail including the string of characters and the representative medical image by combining the first material and the second material, wherein the thumbnail is generated so that an area of the second material is larger than an area of the first material, wherein the thumbnail is divided based on the number of materials determined by the determination unit;
- a display control unit configured to control a display unit to display a plurality of thumbnails including the string of characters and the generated representative medical image.
