Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: perform a document search by using data stored in a memory, the data including attribute information indicating attributes appended to each document. The attributes includes a user-appended attribute and a software-extracted attribute extracted by document management software. The user-appended attribute and the software-extracted attribute are configured to be distinguishable from each other.

Claims (56)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

perform a document search by using data stored in a memory, the data including attribute information indicating attributes appended to each document, the attributes including a user-appended attribute and a software-extracted attribute extracted by document management software,

wherein the user-appended attribute and the software-extracted attribute are configured to be distinguishable from each other.

2 . An information processing apparatus of according to claim 1 ,

wherein the data includes information indicating each of the attributes is a user-appended attribute or a software-extracted attribute.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the attribute includes a plurality of software-extracted attributes extracted by the document management software; and

the processor is configured to:

perform the document search in accordance with priority settings of the plurality of software-extracted attributes.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein:

the attribute includes a plurality of software-extracted attributes extracted by the document management software; and

the processor is configured to:

conduct the document search in accordance with priority settings of the plurality of software-extracted attributes.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein:

the document is an image;

the plurality of software-extracted attributes include attributes extracted by performing image analysis; and

the plurality of software-extracted attributes include at least one of:

(a) property of text,

(b) position of text,

(c) statistics on text,

(d) part of speech information obtained from text; and

(e) a character string having a predetermined positional relationship with a predetermined character string.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:

the document is an image;

the plurality of software-extracted attributes include attributes extracted by performing image analysis on the image; and

the plurality of software-extracted attributes include at least one of:

(a) property of text,

(b) position of text,

(c) statistics on text,

(d) part of speech information obtained from text; and

(e) a character string having a predetermined positional relationship with a predetermined character string.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive a user instruction specifying the settings of the plurality of software-extracted attributes.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive a user instruction specifying the settings of the plurality of software-extracted attributes.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive a user instruction specifying the settings of the plurality of software-extracted attributes.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive a user instruction specifying the settings of the plurality of software-extracted attributes.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive a user instruction specifying the settings of the plurality of software-extracted attributes.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a user instruction that specifies a setting of the document search, wherein the setting of the document search includes whether to apply an exact match or a partial match for the user-appended attribute; and

conduct the document search in accordance with the settings.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a user instruction that specifies a setting of the document search, wherein the setting of the document search includes whether to apply an exact match or a partial match for the user-appended attribute; and

conduct the document search in accordance with the settings.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein a partial match is automatically applied to the software-extracted attribute.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein a partial match is automatically applied to the software-extracted attribute.

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

conducting a document search by using data stored in a memory, the data including attribute information indicating attributes appended to each document, the attributes including a user-appended attribute and a software-extracted attribute extracted by document management software, wherein the user-appended attribute and the software-extracted attribute are configured to be distinguishable from each other.

17 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for storing data; and

means for conducting a document search by using data stored in the means for storing data, the data including attribute information indicating attributes appended to each document, the attributes including a user-appended attribute and a software-extracted attribute extracted by document management software,

wherein the user-appended attribute and the software-extracted attribute are configured to be distinguishable from each other.
