Abstract
An image processing apparatus obtains image data containing a plurality of pieces of character information, obtains corresponding information that corresponds to the character information contained in the obtained image data, obtains, using the character information, area information indicating an area to which the corresponding information is to be inserted, and determines an insertion style of the corresponding information based on the obtained area information.
Claims9
An information processing apparatus that inserts corresponding information, which corresponds to character information contained in image data, to the image data in a form of an electronic file, the information processing apparatus comprising:
- an image-data obtaining unit that obtains image data containing a plurality of pieces of character information;
- a corresponding-information obtaining unit that obtains corresponding information that corresponds to the character information obtained from the image data;
- an area-information obtaining unit that obtains area information that indicates an area to which the corresponding information is to be inserted, depending on a formation of lines containing the character information;
- an insertion-style determining unit that determines an insertion style of the corresponding information based on the obtained area information;
- and
- an information-insertion control unit that records, via a processor, the image data and the corresponding information on different layers in the electronic file and inserts the corresponding information into the image data in a visible color according to the insertion style determined by the insertion-style determining unit.
An information processing method of inserting corresponding information, which corresponds to character information contained in image data, to the image data in a form of an electronic file, the information processing method comprising:
- obtaining image data that contains a plurality of pieces of character information;
- obtaining corresponding information that corresponds to the character information obtained from the image data;
- obtaining area information that indicates an area to which the corresponding information is to be inserted, depending on a formation of lines containing the character information;
- determining an insertion style of the corresponding information based on the obtained area information;
- and
- recording, via a processor, the image data and the corresponding information on different layers in the electronic file and inserting the corresponding information into the image data in a visible color according to the determined insertion style.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer readable instructions thereon for inserting corresponding information, which corresponds to character information contained in image data, to the image data in a form of an electronic file, the instructions when executed by a computer causing the computer to perform a method comprising:
- obtaining image data that contains a plurality of pieces of character information;
- obtaining corresponding information that corresponds to the character information obtained from the image data;
- obtaining area information that indicates an area to which the corresponding information is to be inserted, depending on a formation of lines containing the character information;
- determining an insertion style of the corresponding information based on the obtained area information;
- and
- recording the image data and the corresponding information on different layers in the electronic file and inserting the corresponding information into the image data in a visible color according to the determined insertion style.
