Abstract

Provided is an information processing apparatus including an acquiring unit that acquires plural documents, a type specifying unit that specifies types of the documents, a document specifying unit that specifies a key document as a target of a predetermined processing and a relevant document required for performing the processing among the plural documents based on the type specified by the type specifying unit, a processing specifying unit that specifies a processing corresponding to the key document among plural of the predetermined processing, and a determining unit that, in a case where the document specifying unit specifies plural key documents, specifies a dependency relationship of processing specified for the plural key documents among a key document and a relevant document related to the processing, and determines a performing order of the processing specified for the plural key documents based on the specified dependency relationship.

Claims (43)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor programmed to:

acquire document images of a plurality of documents;

specify, based on the acquired document images, types of the plurality of documents;

classify each of the plurality of documents, based on the specified type, into either:

a key document as a target of one of a plurality of predetermined processings; or

a relevant document required for performing one of the plurality of the predetermined processings;

store the classification of each of the plurality of documents in a memory;

specify a particular one of the predetermined processings corresponding to a classified key document; and

in a case where a plurality of classified key documents are specified:

specify a dependency relationship of processing specified for the plurality of the classified key documents among each specified key document and a relevant document related to the particular predetermined processing;

determine a performing order of the processings specified for the plurality of classified key documents based on the specified dependency relationship; and

cause processing of the processings of the plurality of specified key documents according to the determined performing order.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further programmed to: when the plurality of key documents are specified, and a processing for each of the plurality of specified key documents are specified, determine a performing order of a plurality of specified processings based on histories of processing for other documents for which the same processing is performed.

3. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by computer, cause the computer to:

acquire document images of a plurality of documents;

specify, based on the acquired document images, types of the plurality of documents;

classify each of the plurality of documents, based on the specified type, into either:

a key document as a target of one of a plurality of predetermined processings; or

a relevant document required for performing one of the plurality of the predetermined processings;

store the classification of each of the plurality of documents in a memory;

specify a particular one of the predetermined processings corresponding to a classified key document; and

in a case where a plurality of classified key documents are specified:

specify a dependency relationship of processing specified for the plurality of the classified key documents among each specified key document and a relevant document related to the particular predetermined processing;

determine a performing order of the processings specified for the plurality of classified key documents based on the specified dependency relationship; and

cause processing of the processings of the plurality of specified key documents according to the determined performing order.

4. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 3 , wherein the computer-executable instructions further include instructions that, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to: when the plurality of key documents are specified, and a processing for each of the plurality of specified key documents are specified, determine a performing order of a plurality of specified processings based on histories of processing for other documents for which the same processing is performed.

5. An information processing system comprising:

a reading device that optically reads a plurality of documents and forms a corresponding plurality of document images of a plurality of documents; and

an information processing apparatus that includes:

a processor programmed to:

acquire the plurality of document images;

specify, based on the acquired document images, types of the plurality of documents;

classify each of the plurality of documents, based on the specified type, into either:

a key document as a target of one of a plurality of predetermined processings; or

a relevant document required for performing one of the plurality of the predetermined processings;

store the classification of each of the plurality of documents in a memory;

specify a particular one of the predetermined processings corresponding to a classified key document; and

in a case where a plurality of classified key documents are specified:

specify a dependency relationship of processing specified for the plurality of the classified key documents among each specified key document and a relevant document related to the particular predetermined processing;

determine a performing order of the processings specified for the plurality of classified key documents based on the specified dependency relationship; and

cause processing of the processings of the plurality of specified key documents according to the determined performing order.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is further programmed to: when the plurality of key documents are specified, and a processing for each of the plurality of specified key documents are specified, determine a performing order of a plurality of specified processings based on histories of processing for other documents for which the same processing is performed.
