Abstract

A document processing apparatus includes a processor configured to extract an image area, in which an image is disposed, from a plurality of documents to be processed, perform an image recognition process on the image area, compare information on the image of the image area for each document, the information being obtained by performing the image recognition process, and decide a difference for the documents based on a result of comparison of the information on the image and a decision rule for the documents.

Claims (31)

1. A document processing apparatus, comprising:

a processor configured to

extract an image area, in which an image is disposed, from a plurality of documents to be processed,

perform an image recognition process on the image area,

compare information on the image of the image area for each document, the information being obtained by performing the image recognition process, and

decide a difference for the documents based on a result of comparison of the information on the image and a decision rule for the documents, wherein the decision rule defines a basis for deciding the difference between the information of the image from the documents being type, size, or position of an object drawn in the image area.

2. The document processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the process is configured to

extract the object drawn in the image area through the image recognition process, and

perform the comparison for each object extracted from the image area for each document.

3. The document processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to decide a difference between the types of the objects corresponding to each other drawn in the image areas corresponding to each other in the plurality of documents as the difference between the documents.

4. The document processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to apply a difference between the positions of the objects corresponding to each other in the image areas corresponding to each other in the plurality of documents to decision of the difference between the documents.

5. The document processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured not to apply a difference between size sizes of the objects corresponding to each other in the image areas corresponding to each other in the plurality of documents to decision of the difference between the documents.

6. The document processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to output information on a difference between the images in the plurality of documents decided to have no difference based on the images of the image areas.

7. The document processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to add, to a screen displaying an image of an image area of one of the plurality of documents decided to have no difference based on the images of the image areas, a display indicating a difference from an image of a corresponding image area in another document among the plurality of documents.

8. The document processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to decide the difference for the documents by applying the decision rule associated with types of the documents according to the types of the documents to be processed.

9. The document processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the processor is configured to

display a user interface screen for setting the decision rule on a display device, and

receive a setting operation performed by a user and generates the decision rule associated with the types of the documents.

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

extracting image an area, in which an image is disposed, from a plurality of documents to be processed;

performing an image recognition process on the image area;

comparing information on the image of the image area for each document, the information being obtained through the image recognition process; and

deciding a difference for the documents based on a result of comparison of the information on the image and a decision rule for the documents, wherein the decision rule defines a basis for deciding the difference between the information of the image from the documents being type, size, or position of an object drawn in the image area.
