Image-processing device and image-processing method
View Patent ↗An image-processing device includes: an acquiring unit that acquires image data representing a document which includes a plurality of pages; an extracting unit that extracts, from the acquired image data, a character area in a first page that is at least one of the plurality of pages; and an output unit that outputs first partial image data within the extracted character area associated with the acquired image data of a second page other than the first page, the second page determined by having a character area corresponding to the extracted character area in the first page.
1. An image-processing device comprising:
an acquiring unit that acquires image data representing a document which includes a plurality of pages;
an extracting unit that extracts, from the acquired image data, a character area in a first page that is at least one of the plurality of pages; and
an output unit that transmits the acquired image data of a second page and first partial image data within the extracted character area to a send-to destination,
wherein the second page is different from the first page, the second page having a character area which corresponds to the extracted character area of the first page, the second page being a sheet made of pressure sensitive paper, characters entered in the extracted character area being duplicated in the character area of the second page.
2. The image-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the output unit transmits character information that represents a character generated by a character recognition process applied to the first partial image data and that is associated with the acquired image data of the second page.
3. The image-processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the acquiring unit acquires first image data of the first page that is read at a certain resolution, and second image data of a page other than the first page that is read at a lower resolution than the certain resolution.
4. The image-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring unit acquires first image data of the first page that is read at a certain tone, and second image data of a page other than the first page that is read at a higher tone than the certain tone.
5. The image-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the output unit transmits the first partial image data associated with the acquired image data of the second page to an output destination determined for the first page.
6. The image-processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a memory that stores format information representing a format of a plurality of types of pages; and
an identifying unit that analyzes the acquired image data, determines format information of a format of a page represented by the image data, compares the format information with the format information stored in the memory, and identifies a format of the page,
and wherein
the extracting unit extracts, from the acquired image data, a character area determined for the identified format.
7. The image-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the extracting unit extracts, from the acquired image data, a character area determined for the first page.
8. The image-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the output unit transmits the first partial image data associated with second partial image data within a predetermined area in the second page.
9. The image-processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the output unit transmits the first partial image data substituted for third partial image data within the character area in the second page corresponding to the extracted character area of the first page.
10. The image-processing device of claim 1 , wherein the character area of the second page has second partial image data that represents the duplicated characters before the output unit transmits the first partial image data.
11. An image-processing method comprising:
acquiring image data representing a document which includes a plurality of pages;
extracting, from the acquired image data, a character area in a first page that is at least one of the plurality of pages; and
transmitting the acquired image data of a second page and first partial image data within the extracted character area to a send-to destination,
wherein the second page is different from the first page, the second page having a character area which corresponds to the extracted character area of the first page, the second page being a sheet made of pressure sensitive paper, characters entered in the extracted character area being duplicated in the character area of the second page.
