Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: set a rule for specifying a region in which a value of an item of an attribute assigned to a form shown by an image is shown in the image for each item, from a predetermined first rule, a second rule indicating an arrangement of the region for an element included in the form, which is input by a user, and a third rule indicating coordinates of the region in the image, which are input by the user; and extract the value of the item shown in the region specified by using the set rule.

Claims (56)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

set a rule for specifying a region in which a value of an item of an attribute assigned to a form shown by an image is shown in the image for each item, from a predetermined first rule, a second rule indicating an arrangement of the region for an element included in the form, which is input by a user, and a third rule indicating coordinates of the region in the image, which are input by the user; and

extract the value of the item shown in the region specified by using the set rule.

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

present, to the user, the respective regions specified by the first rule, the second rule, and the third rule in different manners.

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

in a case where the region is specified by the second rule, present, to the user, a position of the element indicated by the second rule in the image, in association with the region.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:

present, to the user, the value of the item extracted from the region in association with the corresponding region.

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

specify the region by using the first rule for each item of the attribute;

present the specified region to the user; and

cause the user to select whether or not to change the first rule to the second rule or the third rule.

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

extract a value of each item of an attribute assigned to a second form having the same type as the first form by using a rule selected by the user for each item of an attribute assigned to a first form in the second form.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:

specify the region by using the first rule for each item of the attribute;

present the specified region to the user; and

cause the user to select whether or not to change the first rule to the second rule or the third rule.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to:

extract a value of each item of an attribute assigned to a second form having the same type as the first form by using a rule selected by the user for each item of an attribute assigned to a first form in the second form.

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

present, to the user, the value of the item extracted from the region in association with the corresponding region.

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

specify the region by using the first rule for each item of the attribute;

present the specified region to the user; and

cause the user to select whether or not to change the first rule to the second rule or the third rule.

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

extract a value of each item of an attribute assigned to a second form having the same type as the first form by using a rule selected by the user for each item of an attribute assigned to a first form in the second form.

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

specify the region by using the first rule for each item of the attribute;

present the specified region to the user; and

cause the user to select whether or not to change the first rule to the second rule or the third rule.

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

extract a value of each item of an attribute assigned to a second form having the same type as the first form by using a rule selected by the user for each item of an attribute assigned to a first form in the second form.

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

extract a value of each item of an attribute assigned to a second form having the same type as the first form by using a rule selected by the user for each item of an attribute assigned to a first form in the second form.

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

specify the region by using the first rule for each item of the attribute;

present the specified region to the user; and

cause the user to select whether or not to change the first rule to the second rule or the third rule.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the processor is configured to:

extract a value of each item of an attribute assigned to a second form having the same type as the first form by using a rule selected by the user for each item of an attribute assigned to a first form in the second form.

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

extract a value of each item of an attribute assigned to a second form having the same type as the first form by using a rule selected by the user for each item of an attribute assigned to a first form in the second form.

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

acquire a list of an item of an attribute assigned to a form;

present, to a user, one or more rules that are previously selected, for an item similar to the item included in the list; and

cause the user to select a rule for specifying a region in which a value of the item is shown from the one or more rules.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer having a processor to execute a process comprising:

setting a rule for specifying a region in which a value of an item of an attribute assigned to a form shown by an image is shown in the image for each item, from a predetermined first rule, a second rule indicating an arrangement of the region for an element included in the form, which is input by a user, and a third rule indicating coordinates of the region in the image, which are input by the user; and

extracting the value of the item shown in the region specified by using the set rule.

20. An information processing method comprising:

setting a rule for specifying a region in which a value of an item of an attribute assigned to a form shown by an image is shown in the image for each item, from a predetermined first rule, a second rule indicating an arrangement of the region for an element included in the form, which is input by a user, and a third rule indicating coordinates of the region in the image, which are input by the user; and

extracting the value of the item shown in the region specified by using the set rule.
