Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires a processed image obtained through image processing, and a generation unit that generates a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image.

Claims (43)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory, storing a program;

a processor, executing the program stored in the memory to be configured to:

acquire a processed image obtained through image processing;

generate a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image; and

in a case where an amount of the reduction image exceeds a first image amount which is an amount of image that is synthesizable with the evidence image, perform a process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to:

perform the process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount by selecting a part of a predetermined location from the reduction image.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to:

perform the process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount by selecting a part of a randomly determined location from the reduction image.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to:

perform the process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount by selecting a part that satisfies a previously fixed condition regarding an image feature from the reduction image.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the previously fixed condition is a condition in which the image contains an element other than text.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the previously fixed condition is a condition in which the image contains an element other than text at a ratio which is equal to or more than a previously fixed ratio.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to:

perform the process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount by increasing a reduction ratio in a case of a document whose font size is a first size than a case of a document whose font size is a second size that is smaller than the first size to generate the reduction image.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to:

perform the process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount by increasing a reduction ratio in a case of a document which does not include text in the image than a case of a document which includes the text in the image to generate the reduction image.

9. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory, storing a program;

a processor, executing the program stored in the memory to be configured to:

acquire a processed image obtained through image processing;

generate a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image; and

generate a plurality of synthesis images each of which is an image obtained by synthesizing the evidence image with a part of a first image amount of the reduction image in a case where the amount of the reduction image exceeds the first image amount, the first image amount being an amount of an image that is synthesizable with the evidence image.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor executes the program to be further configured to:

generate the plurality of synthesis images in a case where the amount of the reduction image is equal to or less than a second image amount being an amount of an image that is synthesizable with the evidence image in the plurality of synthesis images.

11. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory, storing a program;

a processor, executing the program stored in the memory to be configured to:

acquire a processed image obtained through image processing; and

generate a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image,

wherein the evidence image further includes a processing condition of the image processing, and

the processor executes the program to be further configured to generate the synthesis image obtained by synthesizing the evidence image, which further includes the processing condition indicating that the image processing is processing of outputting an image in color, with an image obtained by performing conversion on the reduction image in black and white.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to realize

a function of acquiring a processed image obtained by image processing;

a function of generating a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image; and

a function of, in a case where an amount of the reduction image exceeds a first image amount which is an amount of image that is synthesizable with the evidence image, performing a process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount.

13. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring a processed image obtained through image processing;

generating a synthesis image obtained by synthesizing an evidence image, which is an image becoming an evidence of the image processing and including at least information on a fee required for the image processing, with a reduction image obtained by reducing the processed image; and

in a case where an amount of the reduction image exceeds a first image amount which is an amount of image that is synthesizable with the evidence image, performing a process of reducing the amount of the reduction image to be equal to or less than the first image amount.
