System, summarization apparatus, summarization system, and method of controlling summarization apparatus, for acquiring summary information

A summarization apparatus comprising:

• a first generation unit configured to generate first text information by converting voice data to texts;
• a second generation unit configured to generate second text information by converting image data to texts;
• an integration unit configured to integrate the first text information generated by the first generation unit and the second text information generated by the second generation unit to thereby generate integrated text information formed by at least one text;
• and
• a summarization unit configured to generate summary information by summarizing the integrated text information integrated by the integration unit.

A summarization system including a summarization apparatus, and a terminal unit that is capable of communicating with the summarization apparatus,

• the summarization apparatus comprising:
• a first generation unit configured to generate first text information by converting voice data to texts;
• a second generation unit configured to generate second text information by converting image data to texts;
• an integration unit configured to integrate the first text information generated by the first generation unit and the second text information generated by the second generation unit to thereby generate integrated text information formed by at least one text;
• and
• a summarization unit configured to generate summary information by summarizing the integrated text information integrated by the integration unit, and
• the terminal unit comprising:
• a voice acquisition unit configured to acquire voice data from speech of a user;
• an image acquisition unit configured to acquire image data by image capturing of characters entered by a user;
• and
• a transmission unit configured to transmit voice data acquired by the voice acquisition unit and image data acquired by the image acquisition unit to the summarization apparatus,
• wherein the summarization apparatus includes a reception unit configured to receive voice data and image data, transmitted by the transmission unit.

A method of controlling a summarization apparatus, comprising:

• generating first text information by converting voice data to texts;
• generating second text information by converting image data to texts;
• integrating the generated first text information and the generated second text information to thereby generate integrated text information formed by at least one text;
• and
• generating summary information by summarizing the integrated text information integrated by the integrating.
