Abstract
A printed matter reviewed by a user is read, and a difference image is generated based on a first image obtained as a result of reading the printed matter and an electronic document that is a printing source from which the printed matter is generated. Based on the difference image, a process is performed to identify an instruction relating to a revision additionally written on the printed matter and a character string to be subjected to the revision in the electronic document. Thereafter, a particular process is executed on the electronic document based on the instruction related to the revision and the character string to which the revision is applied.
Claims10
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory that stores instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions,
- wherein the at least one processor generates a difference image based on a first image obtained by reading a printed matter and an electronic document corresponding to the printed matter, the electronic document being described in a file format of a predetermined document editing application, and
- wherein the at least one processor identifies, based on the difference image, a proofreading symbol relating to a revision additionally written on the printed matter and a character string to be subjected to the revision in the electronic document;
- and
- wherein the at least one processor adds, according to a format of a review function of the document editing application, a content corresponding to the revision to the electronic document based on the identified proofreading symbol and the identified character string to be subjected to the revision.
An information processing method comprising:
- generating a difference image based on a first image obtained by reading a printed matter and an electronic document corresponding to the printed matter, the electronic document being described in a file format of a predetermined document editing application;
- based on the difference image, identifying a proofreading symbol relating to a revision additionally written on the printed matter and a character string to be subjected to the revision in the electronic document;
- and
- according to a format of a review function of the document editing application, adding a content corresponding to the revision to the electronic document based on the identified proofreading symbol and the identified character string to be subjected to the revision.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a processor of an information processing apparatus to perform:
- generating a difference image based on a first image obtained by reading a printed matter and an electronic document corresponding to the printed matter the electronic document being described in a file format of a predetermined document editing application;
- based on the difference image, identifying a proofreading symbol relating to a revision additionally written on the printed matter and a character string to be subjected to the revision in the electronic document;
- and
- according to a format of a review function of the document editing application, adding a content corresponding to the revision to the electronic document based on the identified proofreading symbol and the identified character string to be subjected to the revision.
