displays a first setting screen for setting a process to be associated with the detected marked region based on designation by a user; and executes the process set on the first setting screen on the detected marked region. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising: at least one memory that stores instructions; and at least one processor that executes the instructions to: detect, from a document image obtained by reading a marked document, a marked region; display a first setting screen for setting a process to be associated with the detected marked region based on designation by a user; and execute the process set on the first setting screen on the detected marked region. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the displaying involves displaying a second setting screen for setting a marking method for the marked region to be subjected to the detection based on designation by the user, and the detection involves detecting a marked region by the marking method set on the second setting screen. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the marking method is one of filling which colors an entirety of a predetermined region, framing which colors a periphery of the predetermined region, or underlining which colors an underside of the predetermined region. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the detection involves detecting a marked region for each of colors, the displaying involves displaying the first setting screen for setting a process to be associated with the detected marked region for each of the colors based on designation by the user; and the execution involves executing the process set on the first setting screen for each of the colors on the marked region detected for the corresponding color. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the displaying involves displaying the first setting screen such that a process of performing a character recognition process on the marked region and setting an obtained process result as a file name of the document image, a process of performing a character recognition process on the marked region and setting an obtained process result as a name of a folder for storing the document image, a process of masking the marked region, a process of performing a character recognition process on the marked region and using an obtained process result as a signature, or a process of performing a character recognition process on the marked region and using an obtained process result as a stamp is designatable as the process. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the displaying involves displaying a process which is unexecutable by the information processing apparatus in an undesignatable state among a plurality of processes being candidates to be designated. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the displaying involves, in a case where a process which is unexecutable by the information processing apparatus is present, displaying information on a reason why the unexecutable process is unexecutable. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the at least one processor further executes the instruction to save the document image and the process set for the detected marked region in the document image in association with each other. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, the execution involves, in a case where a trained model is present which is trained to receive the document image as an input and outputs the marked region detected from the document image and a process set for the detected marked region, executing the process based on the marked region detected by the detection and the marked region designated by the trained model. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the execution involves, in the case where the trained model which has associated the process with a region matching the marked region detected by the detection is present, executing the process associated with the region designated by the trained model. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The information processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the execution involves, in a case where the trained model which has associated the process with a region matching the marked region detected by the detection is not present, executing the process set on the first setting screen on the marked region detected from the document image. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The information processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the at least one processor further executes the instruction to generate a trained model which has associated the process with the marked region detected by the detection. ### Claim 13 An information processing method comprising: detecting, from a document image obtained by reading a marked document, a marked region; displaying a first setting screen for setting a process to be associated with the detected marked region based on designation by a user; and executing the process set on the first setting screen on the detected marked region. ### Claim 14 A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform an information processing method, the information processing method comprising: detecting, from a document image obtained by reading a marked document, a marked region; displaying a first setting screen for setting a process to be associated with the detected marked region based on designation by a user; and executing the process set on the first setting screen on the detected marked region.
