Apparatus for setting file name for scan image, method of controlling same, and storage medium

A method of controlling an apparatus for performing a predetermined process on a scan image obtained by scanning a document, comprising:

• analyzing the scan image to identify a plurality of character string blocks each assumed as a single continuous character string in the scan image;
• displaying the scan image on a UI screen of a display, wherein a user designates a position on the displayed scan image to select one of the identified character string blocks;
• obtaining a character string corresponding to the selected one of the character string blocks, wherein the obtained character string is a character string recognized by performing an OCR process on the selected one of the character string blocks;
• automatically extracting a plurality of separated words from the obtained character string in a case where the obtained character string corresponding to the selected one of the character string blocks satisfies a predetermined condition;
• controlling the display to display, on the UI screen, a list that includes, as candidates, all of the extracted plurality of separated words and the obtained character string corresponding to the selected one of the character string blocks, wherein a displayed order of the extracted plurality of separated words displayed in the list is determined based on the position designated on the displayed scan image by the user, and wherein the user is caused to select one candidate from the candidates included in the displayed list;
• and
• setting the selected one candidate as information for the predetermined process.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform:

• analyzing a scan image to identify a plurality of character string blocks each assumed as a single continuous character string in the scan image, wherein the scan image is obtained by scanning a document;
• controlling a display to display the scan image on a UI screen, wherein a user designates a position on the displayed scan image to select one of the identified character string blocks;
• obtaining a character string corresponding to the selected one of the character string blocks, wherein the obtained character string is a character string recognized by performing an OCR process on the selected one of the character string blocks;
• automatically extracting a plurality of separated words from the obtained character string in a case where the obtained character string corresponding to the selected one of the character string blocks satisfies a predetermined condition;
• controlling the display to display, on the UI screen, a list that includes, as candidates, all of the extracted plurality of separated words and the obtained character string corresponding to the selected one of the character string blocks, wherein a displayed order of the extracted plurality of separated words displayed in the list is determined based on the position designated on the displayed scan image by the user, and wherein the user is caused to select one candidate from the candidates included in the displayed list;
• and
• setting the selected one candidate as information for the predetermined process.
