Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit that obtains a number of times of data inputting required for each of plural input items to which operators are to input data and an input screen information generation unit that generates, for the operators on a basis of the obtained number of times of data inputting, input screen information to which the operators are to input data.

Claims (62)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor programed to

determine a required number of times of data inputting required for each of a plurality of input items from which operators are to input data; and

generate, for the operators on a basis of the determined required number of times of data inputting, input screen information including a plurality of input screens to which the operators are to input data such that each input screen corresponds to an operator of the operators, wherein

the required number of times of data inputting is determined based on a reliability level of image recognition of each input item, and

a number of the generated input screens including each input item is equal to the determined required number of times of data inputting.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein one data inputting operation is performed for an input field that is included in the input screen information and to which the operators are to input data.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the input field corresponding to each of the plurality of input items is disposed in one of the plurality of input screens of the input screen information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein there is the input field corresponding to each of the plurality of input items, and a number of input fields of some input screens of the input screen information is larger than a number of input fields of other input screens of the input screen information.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the required number of times of data inputting is determined for each of the plurality of input items.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the required number of times of data inputting is set in accordance with a number of characters of each of the plurality of input items.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the required number of times of data inputting is set in accordance with a predetermined characteristic of each of the plurality of input items.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the input screen information includes reference images corresponding to the plurality of input items and input fields to which the operators input data.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the input screen information includes reference images corresponding to all the plurality of input items.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein, among the plurality of input items included in the input screen information, the data inputting is permitted for input fields for which the operators are to input data.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein the input fields for which the data inputting has been permitted are blanks.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein, among the plurality of input items included in the input screen information, the data inputting is inhibited for input fields for which the operators are not to input data.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 ,

wherein results of past data inputting are displayed in the input fields for which the data inputting has been inhibited.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein each input item is a character string from an image of a form.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the reliability level of image recognition is one of a plurality of levels including a first level and a second level lower than the first level, and

the processor is programed to

determine that the required number of data inputting is greater than one in response to the reliability level of image recognition being the second level, and

determine that the required number of data inputting is less than or equal to one in response to the reliability level of image recognition being the first level.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

determining a required number of times of data inputting required for each of a plurality of input items from which operators are to input data; and

generating, for the operators on a basis of the determined required number of times of data inputting, input screen information including a plurality of input screens to which the operators are to input data such that each input screen corresponds to an operator of the operators, wherein

the required number of times of data inputting is determined based on a reliability level of image recognition of each input item, and

a number of the generated input screens including each input item is equal to the determined required number of times of data inputting, and

a number of the generated input screens including each input item is equal to the determined required number of times of data inputting.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16 ,

wherein each input item is a character string from an image of a form.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 16 ,

wherein the reliability level of image recognition is one of a plurality of levels including a first level and a second level lower than the first level, and

the process further comprises

determining that the required number of data inputting is greater than one in response to the reliability level of image recognition being the second level, and

determining that the required number of data inputting is less than or equal to one in response to the reliability level of image recognition being the first level.

19. An information processing apparatus comprising:

determine means for obtaining a required number of times of data inputting required for each of a plurality of input items from which operators are to input data; and

input screen information generation means for generating, for the operators on a basis of the determined required number of times of data inputting, input screen information including a plurality of input screens to which the operators are to input data such that each input screen corresponds to an operator of the operators, wherein

the required number of times of data inputting is determined based on a reliability level of image recognition of each input item, and

a number of the generated input screens including each input item is equal to the determined required number of times of data inputting.

20. The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 ,

wherein each input item is a character string from an image of a form.

21. The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein

the reliability level of image recognition is one of a plurality of levels including a first level and a second level lower than the first level, and

the determine means

determines that the required number of data inputting is greater than one in response to the reliability level of image recognition being the second level, and

determines that the required number of data inputting is less than or equal to one in response to the reliability level of image recognition being the first level.
