Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a memory storing, in an associated form, part identification information and information on at least one drawing; and a processor configured to receive an image of a drawing, read part identification information from the image, retrieve from the memory the information on the at least one drawing associated with the part identification information read from the image, extract a feature from the image, evaluate a quality of the received drawing by inputting the extracted information on the at least one drawing and the feature to artificial intelligence that has learned to evaluate drawings through machine learning, and display evaluation results of the received drawing on a display.

Claims (36)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory storing, in an associated form, part identification information and information on at least one drawing; and

a processor configured to

receive an image of a drawing,

read part identification information from the image,

retrieve from the memory the information on the at least one drawing associated with the part identification information read from the image,

extract a feature from the image,

evaluate a quality of the received drawing by inputting the extracted information on the at least one drawing and the feature to artificial intelligence that has learned to evaluate drawings through machine learning, and

display evaluation results of the received drawing on a display.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the memory stores, as the information on the at least one drawing, information indicating the quality of the at least one drawing.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the memory stores, as the information indicating the quality of the at least one drawing, at least one piece of information selected from a group including a version number of the at least one drawing, a number of persons who have checked the at least one drawing, a number of days from a start of development of the at least one drawing to an end of a check of the at least one drawing, and a degree of importance of the at least one drawing.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to extract at least one piece of information selected from a group including a part name, a sheet number, a number of sheets, and a number of approvers.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to extract the feature from the image of the received drawing after deleting information other than on a part from the received drawing.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the received drawing is an electrical circuit part drawing, and

wherein the processor is configured to extract, as the feature to be extracted from the image, at least one piece of information selected from a group including a notation indicating acceptability of future mounting and information on an electrical part.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to extract as the feature an image that results from performing on the received image a pre-process to delete an unwanted element.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to extract as the feature an image that results from performing on the received image a pre-process to delete an unwanted element.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to extract as the feature an image that results from performing on the received image a pre-process to delete an unwanted element.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to extract as the feature an image that results from performing on the received image a pre-process to delete an unwanted element.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to extract as the feature an image that results from performing on the received image a pre-process to delete an unwanted element.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to extract as the feature an image that results from performing on the received image a pre-process to delete an unwanted element.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is configured to, if the received image is a resin drawing or a sheet metal drawing, normalize the received image of the drawing in the pre-process.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to, if the received image is a resin drawing or a sheet metal drawing, normalize the received image of the drawing in the pre-process.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is configured to, if the received image is a resin drawing or a sheet metal drawing, normalize the received image of the drawing in the pre-process.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to, if the received image is a resin drawing or a sheet metal drawing, normalize the received image of the drawing in the pre-process.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is configured to, if the received image is a resin drawing or a sheet metal drawing, normalize the received image of the drawing in the pre-process.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the processor is configured to, if the received image is a resin drawing or a sheet metal drawing, normalize the received image of the drawing in the pre-process.

19 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to extract from the received image, as the feature, information described in the received image determined in accordance with the information on the at least one drawing.

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

storing, in an associated form, part identification information and information on at least one drawing;

receiving an image of a drawing,

reading part identification information from the image,

retrieving from the memory the information on the at least one drawing associated with the part identification information read from the image,

extracting a feature from the image,

evaluating a quality of the received drawing by inputting the extracted information on the at least one drawing and the feature to artificial intelligence that has learned to evaluate drawings through machine learning, and

displaying evaluation results of the received drawing on a display.
