Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a character recognition unit configured to perform character recognition processing for recognizing one or more characters included in image data and acquiring character information, a display unit configured to display one or more characters indicated by the character information acquired by the character recognition unit, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the image data to a folder the name of which is a character selected by a user from among the one or more characters displayed by the display unit.
Claims21
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a scanner that scans an image of a document to generate image data;
- a communicator that receives area information, a folder path, icon image data, character information and a scan setting;
- a controller;
- and
- a user interface that display a button including an icon image of the received icon image data and one or more characters indicated by the received character information,
- wherein the user interface receives selection of the displayed button, and then the scanner scans, based on the received scan setting, an image of a document to generate image data, and then the controller obtains character information from an area of the image of the generated image data, the area being an area indicated by the received area information, and then the controller performs a process for storing the generated image data in a folder having a folder name including one or more characters indicated by the obtained character information, the folder being included in a folder indicated by the received folder path.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing an image processing apparatus having a scanner to execute a method, the method comprising:
- scanning an image of a document to generate image data;
- receiving area information, a folder path, icon image data, character information and a scan setting;
- displaying a button including an icon image of the received icon image data and one or more characters indicated by the received character information,
- wherein selection of the displayed button is received, and then the scanner scans, based on the received scan setting, an image of a document to generate image data;
- obtaining character information from an area of the image of the generated image data, the area being an area indicated by the received area information;
- and
- performing a process for storing the generated image data in a folder having a folder name including one or more characters indicated by the obtained character information, the folder being included in a folder indicated by the received folder path.
