Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to cause a first region in which a sorted set, which is any of sets into which plural kinds of data have been sorted according to kind, is displayed and a second region in which data that is unsuitable for the sorted set is displayed to be displayed on an identical screen, receive selection of data displayed in the second region, and sort the received data into the sorted set displayed in the first region.

Claims (58)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising

a processor configured to:

receive scanned data to be sorted into a sorted set from an image reading device including a scanner;

automatically sort the received scanned data according to predefined sorting criteria;

after the automatic sorting is completed, concurrently display, on a same screen,

a first region in which the sorted set is displayed, and

a button which, when pressed, displays a second region in which one or more pieces of the scanned data that could not be automatically sorted into the sorted set due to not satisfying the predefined sorting criteria are displayed;

receive selection of data displayed in the second region;

sort the selected data from the second region into the sorted set displayed in the first region; and

register the sorted set displayed in the first region as a correct sorted set and output the correct sorted set to an outside of the information processing apparatus,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

in a case where the sorted set has a missing part, manage the sorted set as a suspended set, the suspended set representing a set of data whose sorting is not completed, and

in response to a determination that the missing part of the sorted set managed as the suspended set is not to be filled by sorting, notify a user who is related to the suspended set, of the determination.

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

receive user's selection of data that is erroneously sorted into the sorted set among the data included in the sorted set displayed in the first region; and

move the user-selected data from the first region to the second region.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to manage the sorted set as the suspended set in a case where a specific condition concerning the second region is met.

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

not manage the sorted set as the suspended set in a case where a specific condition concerning the second region is not met.

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

the specific condition is a condition that no data is displayed in the second region or a condition that the data displayed in the second region has been confirmed by a user.

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

the specific condition is a condition that no data is displayed in the second region or a condition that the data displayed in the second region has been confirmed by a user.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

data including information similar to information on the sorted set displayed in the first region is preferentially displayed in the second region, the similarity of the information being similarity of at least one of a location in a page order, a layout, a type of an image reading device, a read time and date, and a location of an image reading device.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

the data including the information similar to the information on the sorted set displayed in the first region is data read by an image reading device within a predetermined range from an image reading device used to read the sorted set displayed in the first region at time and date within a predetermined range from time and date of the reading of the sorted set displayed in the first region.

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

give a notification indicating that new data has been added to the second region to a user when the new data is added to the second region.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein

the notification indicating that the new data has been added to the second region is preferentially given to a user who is related to a set including information similar to information on the new data added to the second region, such that the user who is related to the set notices the notification earlier than a user who is not related to the set.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein

the set including the information similar to the information on the new data added to the second region is a set read by an image reading device within a predetermined range from an image reading device used to read the new data added to the second region at time and date within a predetermined range from time and date of the reading of the new data added to the second region.

12. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

receiving scanned data to be sorted into a sorted set from an image reading device including a scanner;

automatically sorting the received scanned data according to predefined sorting criteria;

after the automatic sorting is completed, concurrently displaying, on a same screen,

a first region in which a sorted set is displayed, and

a button which, when pressed, displays a second region in which one or more pieces of the scanned data that could not be automatically sorted into the sorted set due to not satisfying the predefined sorting criteria are displayed;

receiving selection of data displayed in the second region;

sorting the selected data from the second region into the sorted set displayed in the first region; and

registering the sorted set displayed in the first region as a correct sorted set and output the correct sorted set to an outside of the information processing apparatus,

wherein the process further comprises:

in a case where the sorted set has a missing part, managing the sorted set as a suspended set, the suspended set representing a set of data whose sorting is not completed, and

in response to a determination that the missing part of the sorted set managed as the suspended set is not to be filled by sorting, notifying a user who is related to the suspended set, of the determination.

13. An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving scanned data to be sorted into a sorted set from an image reading device including a scanner;

automatically sorting the received scanned data according to predefined sorting criteria;

after the automatic sorting is completed, concurrently displaying, on a same screen,

a first region in which a sorted set is displayed, and

a button which, when pressed, displays a second region in which one or more pieces of the scanned data that could not be automatically sorted into the sorted set due to not satisfying the predefined sorting criteria are displayed;

receiving selection of data displayed in the second region;

sorting the selected data from the second region into the sorted set displayed in the first region; and

registering the sorted set displayed in the first region as a correct sorted set and output the correct sorted set to an outside of the information processing apparatus,

wherein the method further comprises:

in a case where the sorted set has a missing part, managing the sorted set as a suspended set, the suspended set representing a set of data whose sorting is not completed, and

in response to a determination that the missing part of the sorted set managed as the suspended set is not to be filled by sorting, notifying a user who is related to the suspended set, of the determination.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the scanned data to be sorted into a sorted set is received from a plurality of separate scanners.
