Abstract

A document creation support apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to: acquire an image and a character string related to the image; extract at least one feature region included in the image; specify a specific region that is a region corresponding to a phrase included in the character string, in the feature region; and present information for supporting creation of a document including the character string based on a result of the specifying.

Claims (27)

1. A document creation support apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire an image and a character string related to the image;

extract at least one feature region included in the image;

specify a specific region that is a region corresponding to a phrase included in the character string, in the feature region;

generate support information by analyzing the specific region to specify each properties of the specific region to generate property information comprising a specified result for each of the properties of the specific region for supporting creation of a document, wherein the document is an interpretation report including the character string;

display a creation screen on a display unit and control display content of the creation screen to display the property information as the support information for supporting creation of the document.

2. The document creation support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

embed information for accessing the image including the specific region in a phrase corresponding to the specific region in the character string; and

display the information on the display unit.

3. The document creation support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to:

give a warning in a case where a phrase related to the specific region in the character string does not match the property information.

4. The document creation support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to generate the image in which a mark indicating a position of the specific region is added to the image including the specific region.

5. The document creation support apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to extract the feature region based on at least one of a position, type, or size of a structure included in the image.

6. A document creation support method comprising:

acquiring an image and a character string related to the image;

extracting at least one feature region included in the image;

specifying a specific region that is a region corresponding to a phrase included in the character string, in the feature region;

generating support information by analyzing the specific region to specify each properties of the specific region to generate property information comprising a specified result for each of the properties of the specific region for supporting creation of a document, wherein the document is an interpretation report including the character string;

displaying a creation screen on a display unit and controlling display content of the creation screen to display the property information as the support information for supporting creation of the document.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a document creation support program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

acquiring an image and a character string related to the image;

extracting at least one feature region included in the image;

specifying a specific region that is a region corresponding to a phrase included in the character string, in the feature region;

generating support information by analyzing the specific region to specify each properties of the specific region to generate property information comprising a specified result for each of the properties of the specific region for supporting creation of a document, wherein the document is an interpretation report including the character string;

displaying a creation screen on a display unit and controlling display content of the creation screen to display the property information as the support information for supporting creation of the document.

8. A document creation support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the display unit to display each properties of the property information comprising a first property having a plus sign indicating a presence of the first property and a second property having a minus sign indicating an absence of the second property.

9. A document creation support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate a warning message in response to a property generated as a part of the property information not matching any word of the character string of the image.
