Abstract
A key word detection device and a method for detecting a search key word from a target image in order to perform a search with a search engine on the internet, the key word detection device comprising: a processor configured to operate as a feature point detector configured to detect a feature point of a specific character string from the target image, the specific character string prompting a user to perform the search; a key word recognition unit configured to recognize a character string existing in surroundings of the feature point detected by the feature point detector as the search key word in the target image; and a storage for storing character information and data of the target image used by the processor.

A key word detection device for detecting a search key word from a target image in order to perform a search with a search engine on the internet, the key word detection device comprising:
- a processor configured to operate as
- a feature point detector configured to detect a feature point of a specific character string from the target image, the specific character string prompting a user to perform the search;
- a key word recognition unit configured to recognize a character string existing in surroundings of the feature point detected by the feature point detector as the search key word in the target image;
- and
- a storage for storing character information and data of the target image used by the processor.
A method for controlling a key word detection device configured to detect a search key word from a target image, the search key word being used to perform a search with a search engine on the internet, the key word detection device comprising a processor configured to carry out steps of the method and a storage for storing character information and data of the target image used by the processor,
- the method comprising:
- a feature point detection step of detecting a feature point of a specific character string from the target image, the specific character string prompting a user to perform the search;
- and
- a key word recognition step of recognizing a character string existing in surroundings of the feature point detected in the feature point detection step as the search key word in the target image.
