Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a first designation unit, a second designation unit, a position acquisition unit, a memory, and an extraction unit. The first designation unit designates an extensive area from a first read image, the extensive area including an output area and an object area. The second designation unit designates the output area from the designated extensive area. The position acquisition unit acquires positional information regarding the extensive area with respect to the first read image and positional information regarding the output area with respect to the extensive area. The memory stores the positional information regarding the extensive area and the positional information regarding the output area. The extraction unit identifies a position of the extensive area in a second read image in a format identical to a format of the first read image on a basis of the positional information regarding the extensive area stored by the memory. The extraction unit also extracts the output area in the second read image on a basis of the position of the extensive area and the positional information regarding the output area stored by the memory.

Claims (34)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

designate an extensive area from a first read image, the extensive area including an output area and an object area;

designate the output area from the designated extensive area;

acquire positional information regarding the extensive area with respect to the first read image and positional information regarding the output area with respect to the extensive area;

a memory that stores the positional information regarding the extensive area and the positional information regarding the output area;

the processor further configured to identify a position of the extensive area in a second read image in a format identical to a format of the first read image on a basis of the positional information regarding the extensive area stored by the memory and extract the output area in the second read image on a basis of the position of the extensive area and the positional information regarding the output area stored by the memory.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor further configured to extract the output area as the positional information regarding the output area on a basis of specified line information indicating a line corresponding to a location of the output area in the extensive area.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein if the extensive area does not include the line corresponding to the output area, the processor further configured to extend the extensive area in a predetermined direction and extract a new extensive area.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor further configured to designate the output area as a line including a common character string.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein if the extensive area does not include the common character string corresponding to the output area, the processor further configured to extend the extensive area in a predetermined direction and extract a new extensive area.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor further configured to designate the output area as a line including a common character string.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein if the extensive area does not include the common character string corresponding to the output area, the processor further configured to extend the extensive area in a predetermined direction and extract a new extensive area.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein if the extensive area does not include the line corresponding to the output area, the processor further configured to extend the extensive area in a predetermined direction and extract a new extensive area.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor further configured to designate the output area as a line including a common character string.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein if the extensive area does not include the common character string corresponding to the output area, the processor further configured to extend the extensive area in a predetermined direction and extract a new extensive area.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor further configured to designate the output area as a line including a common character string.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein if the extensive area does not include the common character string corresponding to the output area, the processor further configured to extend the extensive area in a predetermined direction and extract a new extensive area.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the computer including a memory that stores positional information regarding an extensive area and positional information regarding an output area, the extensive area including the output area and an object area, the process comprising:

designating the extensive area from a first read image;

designating the output area from the designated extensive area;

acquiring the positional information regarding the extensive area with respect to the first read image and the positional information regarding the output area with respect to the extensive area; and

identifying a position of the extensive area in a second read image in a format identical to a format of the first read image on a basis of the positional information regarding the extensive area stored by the memory and extracting the output area in the second read image on a basis of the position of the extensive area and the positional information regarding the output area stored by the memory.
