Image analysis apparatus, image analysis system, image analysis method, program, and non-transitory computer readable recording medium comprising reading a printed matter, analyzing content related to reading of the printed matter and acquiring support information based on an analysis result of the content for display to assist a user in further reading operations

An image analysis system comprising:

• a reading apparatus that reads a printed matter on which a captured image is printed to acquire image data of a read image;
• and
• a data processing apparatus that receives the image data and includes a display,
• wherein the data processing apparatus executes
• a process of analyzing a first content related to reading of the printed matter based on the image data,
• a process of determining that the reading of the printed matter has failed in a case in which an analysis result of the first content does not satisfy a first threshold value set for determining a quality of reading of the printed matter, and acquiring first support information based on the analysis result of the first content,
• a process of displaying advice on a reading method of the printed matter, via the display, based on acquiring the first support information using code information for connection to a provision source of support information related to the reading method of the printed matter,
• a process of determining that the printed matter has been read normally in a case in which the analysis result of the first content satisfies the first threshold value, and, without acquiring the first support information, analyzing a second content related to image capturing of the captured image based on the image data,
• a process of determining that the capturing of the captured image has failed in a case in which an analysis result of the second content does not satisfy a second threshold value set for determining a quality of the image capturing, and acquiring second support information based on the analysis result of the second content,
• a process of displaying advice on an image capturing method of the captured image, via the display, based on acquiring the second support information using code information for connection to a provision source of support information related to the image capturing method of the captured image, and
• a process of determining that the captured image has been captured normally in a case in which the analysis result of the second content satisfies the second threshold value, without acquiring the second support information,
• wherein the first support information includes at least one of information including the advice on the reading method of the printed matter and code information for connection to the provision source of support information related to the reading method of the printed matter, and
• wherein the second support information includes at least one of information including the advice on the image capturing method of the captured image and code information for connection to the provision source of support information related to the image capturing method of the captured image.

An image analysis method comprising:

• a step of reading a printed matter on which a captured image is printed to acquire image data of a read image via a processor;
• a step of analyzing a first content related to reading of the printed matter based on the image data via the processor;
• a step of determining that the reading of the printed matter has failed in a case in which an analysis result of the first content does not satisfy a first threshold value set for determining a quality of reading of the printed matter, and acquiring first support information based on the analysis result of the first content;
• a step of displaying advice on a reading method of the printed matter, via a display, based on acquiring the first support information using code information for connection to a provision source of support information related to the reading method of the printed matter;
• a step of determining that the printed matter has been read normally in a case in which the analysis result of the first content satisfies the first threshold value, and, without acquiring the first support information, analyzing a second content related to image capturing of the captured image based on the image data;
• a step of determining that the capturing of the captured image has failed in a case in which an analysis result of the second content does not satisfy a second threshold value set for determining a quality of the image capturing, and acquiring second support information based on the analysis result of the second content;
• a process of displaying advice on an image capturing method of the captured image, via the display, based on acquiring the second support information using code information for connection to a provision source of support information related to the image capturing method of the captured image;
• and
• a step of determining that the captured image has been captured normally in a case in which the analysis result of the second content satisfies the second threshold value via the processor, without acquiring second support information,
• wherein the first support information includes at least one of information including the advice on the reading method of the printed matter and code information for connection to the provision source of support information related to the reading method of the printed matter, and
• wherein the second support information includes at least one of information including the advice on the image capturing method of the captured image and code information for connection to the provision source of support information related to the image capturing method of the captured image.
