Abstract
A communication system that includes a server system, a voice terminal and a document reading apparatus. The document reading apparatus includes a reading unit configured to execute reading of a document, wherein recognition processing for recognizing a character written in the document is executed based on image data generated by the reading. Furthermore, the voice terminal comprises a receiving unit configured to receive a predetermined instruction by user's voice, and the server system comprises a processing unit configured to execute output processing for outputting the character recognized by the recognition processing by voice by the voice terminal based on receiving the predetermined instruction by the voice terminal.
Claims17
A communication system including a server system, a voice terminal and a document reading apparatus wherein:
- the document reading apparatus comprises a reading unit configured to execute reading of a document to obtain image data of the document;
- the voice terminal comprises a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction by user's voice;
- and
- the server system comprises a processing unit configured to:
- store text data associated with identification information, wherein the text data is obtained by executing recognition processing for the obtained image data of the document;
- and
- cause the voice terminal to output, via a speaker of the voice terminal, the stored text data associated with the identification information in a case where the voice terminal receives the identification information by user's voice.
A method for controlling a communication system which includes a server system, a voice terminal and a document reading apparatus, the method comprising:
- executing reading of a document by the document reading apparatus for obtaining image data of the document;
- receiving, by the voice terminal, an instruction by user's voice;
- storing, by the server system, text data associated with identification information, wherein the text data is obtained by executing recognition processing for the obtained image data of the document;
- and
- executing, by the server system, processing for causing the voice terminal to output, via a speaker of the voice terminal, the stored text data associated with the identification information in a case where the voice terminal receives the identification information by user's voice.
A server system comprising:
- a reception unit configured to receive instruction information indicating that a user issues a predetermined instruction to a voice terminal by voice;
- a storing unit configured to store text data associated with identification information, wherein the text data is obtained by executing recognition processing for image data obtained by a document reading apparatus when the voice terminal receives the predetermined instruction by user's voice;
- and
- a processing unit configured to execute processing for causing the voice terminal to output, via a speaker of the voice terminal, the stored text data associated with the identification information in a case where the voice terminal receives the identification information by user's voice.
