Image processing device, information processing method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

An information processing method comprising:

• reading in a filled-in document;
• recognizing a standard document type and an information structure of the read-in document;
• storing content filled in on the read-in document;
• comparing, if the read-in document is not a most recent version, an information structure of the most recent version of a preregistered standard document type corresponding to the recognized standard document type to the recognized information structure;
• generating a differential document corresponding to a modification between the information structure of the most recent version and the recognized information structure, according to a result of the comparing;
• outputting the generated differential document;
• and
• merging, if the differential document filled in by a user is read in, filled-in content on the differential document with the filled-in content on the stored read-in document, wherein
• in the storing, already-stored content is replaced with the merged content.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:

• reading in a filled-in document;
• recognizing a standard document type and an information structure of the read-in document;
• storing content filled in on the read-in document;
• comparing, if the read-in document is not a most recent version, an information structure of the most recent version of a preregistered standard document type corresponding to the recognized standard document type to the recognized information structure;
• generating a differential document corresponding to a modification between the information structure of the most recent version and the recognized information structure, according to a result of the comparing;
• outputting the generated differential document;
• and
• merging, if the differential document filled in by a user is read in, filled-in content on the differential document with the filled-in content on the stored read-in document, wherein
• in the storing, already-stored content is replaced with the merged content.
