Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a scanner for reading out documents, a first extraction unit for extracting text contained in document images, a second extraction unit for extracting at least one Web address from the text, a fetch unit for obtaining at least one Web page corresponding to the Web address, a first generation unit for generating a concatenated image by concatenating the document images with the Web page, and a second generation unit for generating an index indicating a corresponding relationship between the document images and the Web page in the concatenated image.
Claims23
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a scanner for obtaining document images by reading out documents, respectively,
- a first extraction unit for extracting text contained in the document images,
- a second extraction unit for extracting at least one Web address from the text,
- a fetch unit for obtaining at least one Web page corresponding to the Web address through a network by using a Web browser,
- a first generation unit for generating a concatenated image by concatenating the document images with the Web page, and
- a second generation unit for generating an index indicating a corresponding relationship between the document images and the Web page in the concatenated image.
An index generation method for an image processing apparatus including a controller and a scanner, and allowing usage of a Web browser, said index generation method comprising the steps of
- causing said scanner to obtain document images by reading out documents, respectively, by said controller;
- extracting text contained in the document images, by said controller;
- extracting at least one Web address from the text, by said controller;
- obtaining at least one Web page corresponding to the Web address through a network by using the Web browser, by said controller;
- generating a concatenated image by concatenating the document images with the Web page, by said controller;
- and
- generating an index indicating a corresponding relationship between the document images and the Web page in the concatenated image, by said the controller.
A computer-readable recording medium on which is recorded an index generation program to cause an image processing apparatus including a controller and a scanner, and allowing usage of a Web browser to generate an index, said index generation program causing said controller to execute the steps of:
- causing said scanner to obtain document images by reading out documents, respectively,
- extracting text contained in the document images;
- extracting at least one Web address from the text;
- obtaining at least one Web page corresponding to the Web address through a network by using the Web browser;
- generating a concatenated image by concatenating the document images with the Web page;
- and
- generating an index indicating a corresponding relationship between the document images and the Web page in the concatenated image.
