Abstract
A method of producing image data includes an image data generation step of reading a document by a reading unit and generating image data as a result of reading the document, a determination step of determining whether a predetermined entry written by a user in the document is present in the image data, and an information addition step of adding specification information to the image data in which the predetermined entry is determined to be present in the determination step, the specification information indicating presence of the predetermined entry.
Claims19
A method of producing image data, the method comprising:
- an image data generation step of reading a document by a reading unit and generating image data as a result of reading the document;
- a determination step of determining whether a predetermined entry written by a user in the document is present in the image data;
- an information addition step of adding specification information indicating presence of the predetermined entry, to the image data in which the predetermined entry is determined to be present in the determination step;
- and
