Claims12
An electronic device comprising:
- an imaging device configured to generate image data;
- a communication circuit;
- at least one processor operatively connected to the imaging device and the communication circuit;
- and
- a memory operatively connected to the processor to store instructions, wherein the instructions cause, when executed, the processor to:
- receive first image data including a first image from the imaging device, the first image comprising text,
- transmit the first image data to an optical character recognition (OCR) server through the communication circuit,
- receive a first text data, including a first text recognized from the first image data, from the OCR server through the communication circuit,
- receive second image data, including a second image from the imaging device, the second image including a first region that overlaps a part of the first image and a second region that does not overlap the first image;
- and
- compare the first image and the second image,
- transmit a second text data and a part of the second image data, not all of the second image data, to the OCR server through the communication circuit, and
- receive a third text data, including a third text recognized from the transmitted second text data and the part of the second image data, from the OCR server through the communication circuit,
- wherein the second text data is a text data including at least a part of the first text data corresponding to the first region of the second image that overlaps the part of the first image, and
- wherein the part of the second image data represents the second image data corresponding to the second region.

A method for recognizing characters in an electronic device comprising:
- receiving first image data including a first image from an imaging device, the first image comprising text;
- transmitting the first image data to an optical character recognition (OCR) server through a communication circuit;
- receiving a first text data, including a first text recognized from the first image data, from the OCR server through the communication circuit;
- receiving second image data, including a second image from the imaging device, the second image including a first region that overlaps a part of the first image and a second region that does not overlap the first image;
- comparing the first image and the second image;
- transmitting a second text data and a part of the second image data, not all of the second image data, to the OCR server through the communication circuit;
- and
- receiving a third text data, including a third text recognized from the transmitted second text data and the part of the second image data, from the OCR server through the communication circuit,
- wherein the second text data is a text data including at least a part of the first text data corresponding to the first region of the second image that overlaps the part of the first image, and
- wherein the part of the second image data represents the second image data corresponding to the second region.
