Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to perform a process. The process includes disassembling each of multiple first data sets in units of pages if a combination in the first data set is improper. The multiple first data sets are obtained by reading and sorting out multiple document sets each containing multiple pages of documents. The process also includes reassembling an adequate combination as a second data set if a page group obtained as a result of the disassembling includes the adequate combination.

Claims (50)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to perform a process including

disassembling each of a plurality of first data sets in units of pages if a combination in the first data set is improper, the plurality of first data sets being obtained by reading and sorting out a plurality of document sets each containing a plurality of pages of documents, and

reassembling an adequate combination as a second data set if a page group obtained as a result of the disassembling includes the adequate combination.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to perform control for displaying a plurality of pages disassembled from the first data set and for displaying information indicating a cause of improperness of the first data set.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the cause involves a page missing from the first data set.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the cause involves an excess page included in the first data set.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the excess page is any one of a redundant page, a page of a different inscriber, and an unknown page.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, if a page is missing from the first data set, the processor is configured to perform a process for storing a plurality of pages in the first data set into a predetermined folder.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, if a page is missing from the first data set, the processor is configured to perform a process for storing a plurality of pages in the first data set into a predetermined folder.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein, if the first data set includes an excess page, the processor further performs a process for storing the excess page into the folder.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for reassembling a remaining page, excluding the excess page deleted from the first data set, as the second data set.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein each page in the page group stored in the folder is given meta-information, and

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for identifying the adequate combination from the page group by using the meta-information given to each page in the page group, and to perform control for displaying the identified adequate combination as the second data set in an identifiable manner.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein each page in the page group stored in the folder is given meta-information, and

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for identifying the adequate combination from the page group by using the meta-information given to each page in the page group, and to perform control for displaying the identified adequate combination as the second data set in an identifiable manner.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein each page in the page group stored in the folder is given meta-information, and

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for identifying the adequate combination from the page group by using the meta-information given to each page in the page group, and to perform control for displaying the identified adequate combination as the second data set in an identifiable manner.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 ,

wherein, if any of pages in the second data set is selected, the processor is configured to perform control for displaying information indicating content of the selected page in an expanded fashion.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein each page in the page group stored in the folder is given meta-information, and

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for searching for a candidate for the adequate combination from the page group based on the meta-information of a page selected from a list of the page group, and to perform control for displaying the searched candidate for the adequate combination in an identifiable manner.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein each page in the page group stored in the folder is given meta-information, and

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for searching for a candidate for the adequate combination from the page group based on the meta-information of a page selected from a list of the page group, and to perform control for displaying the searched candidate for the adequate combination in an identifiable manner.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 14 ,

wherein, when the candidate for the adequate combination is to be displayed in an identifiable manner, the processor is configured to perform display control such that the meta-information used for searching for pages serving as the candidate for the adequate combination is given to each of the pages.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 16 ,

wherein the meta-information includes handwriting, and

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process for deriving a handwriting similarity indicating a similarity between handwriting on the page selected from the list of the page group and handwriting on another page, and to perform control for displaying levels of handwriting similarity for the pages serving as the candidate for the adequate combination in an identifiable manner.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to recognize a plurality of pages of read data obtained by reading each document set so as to acquire meta-information related to each of the plurality of pages, and perform a process for determining whether or not the first data set is improper by using the acquired meta-information.

19 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 18 ,

wherein each of the documents is a form, and

wherein the meta-information is at least one of a page number of the form, a layout, a specific field, an image patch, a form identification, handwriting, and an inscriber identification.

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

disassembling each of first data sets in units of pages if a combination in the first data set is improper, the first data sets being obtained by reading and sorting out a plurality of document sets each containing a plurality of pages of documents; and

reassembling an adequate combination as a second data set if a page group obtained as a result of the disassembling includes the adequate combination.
