Abstract

An information processing apparatus including one or more memories storing instructions and one or more processors executing the instructions to obtain scanned images consisting of multiple pages by scanning a plurality of different documents collectively, to determine a break between the different documents in the scanned images, when a first document indicated by the page before the break and a second document indicated by the page after the break in the scanned images do not satisfy a predetermined condition indicating related documents, to divide the scanned images at the break to generate files so that the first and second documents are separated, and, when the first document and the second document, that is not the same document as the first, satisfy the predetermined condition, not to divide the scanned images at the break, to generate the file so that the first and second documents are included in one file.

Dependent claims

An information processing apparatus comprising:

one or more memories storing instructions;
and
one or more processors executing the instructions:
(1) to obtain scanned images consisting of multiple pages by scanning a plurality of different documents collectively;
(2) to determine a break between the different documents in the scanned images;
(3) in a case when a first document indicated by the page preceding the break and a second document indicated by the page following the break in the scanned images do not satisfy a predetermined condition indicating related documents, to divide the scanned images at the break to generate files so that the first document and the second document are separated;
(4) in a case when the first document and the second document, that is not the same document as the first document, satisfy the predetermined condition, to combine the first document indicated by the page preceding the break and the second document indicated by the page following the break;
and
(5) generate a filename for each of one or more files generated from the scanned images by using at least a character string indicating a type of a document corresponding to the file,
wherein, based on a result of comparing a character string indicating a first item included in the first document with a character string indicating a second item included in the second document, the one or more processors further execute the instructions to determine whether the predetermined condition is satisfied,
wherein the first item is a named entity included in the first document, and wherein the second item is a named entity included in the second document, and
wherein the comparing is carried out using a trained model.
