Abstract
A scanner system includes a pen-shaped scanner that scans a character strings that is one part of a sentence described in a paper book and generates and transmits sentence image data on the basis of the scanned character string, a storage unit that stores therein book image data that is higher in image quality than the sentence image data and is obtained by electronically imaging the sentence described in the paper book, and a matching unit that compares the book image data with the sentence image data that the pen-shaped scanner has transmitted and extracts partial image data that has been decide to match the sentence image data from the book image data.
Claims13
A scanning system comprising:
- a pen-shaped scanner that scans a character string that is one part of a sentence described in a paper book and generates and transmits sentence image data on the basis of the scanned character string;
- a storage unit that book image data that is higher in image quality than the sentence image data and is obtained by electronically imaging the sentence described in the paper book is stored, and
- a matching unit that compares the book image data with the sentence image data that the pen-shaped scanner has transmitted and extracts partial image data that has been decided to match the sentence image data from the book image data.
A terminal device comprising:
- a reception unit that receives sentence image data from a pen-shaped scanner that scans a character strings that is one part of a sentence described in a paper book and generates and transmits the sentence image data on the basis of the scanned character string;
- a storage unit that stores therein book image data that is higher in image quality than the sentence image data and obtained by electronically imaging the sentence described in the paper book, and
- a matching unit that compares the book image data with the sentence image data that the pen-shaped scanner has transmitted and extracts partial image data that has been decided to match the sentence image data from the book image data.
A scanning method comprising the steps of:
- receiving sentence image data from a pen-shaped scanner that scans a character string that is one part of a sentence described in a paper book and generates and transmits the sentence image data on the basis of the scanned character string;
- acquiring book image data from a storage unit that stores therein the book image data that is higher in image quality than the sentence image data and is obtained by electronically imaging the sentence described in the paper book, and
- comparing the book image data with the sentence image data that the pen-shaped scanner has transmitted and extracting partial image data that has been decided to match the sentence image data from the book image data.
