Abstract

An image processing apparatus includes a character recognition processing unit configured to execute character recognition processing on the image data, an acquisition unit configured to acquire one or more character string blocks included in the image data, from the image data, a selection unit configured to select a character string block to be used for setting of a file name, from among the one or more character string blocks acquired by the acquisition unit, and a setting unit configured to set the file name of image data by using a character recognition result of the character recognition processing unit for the character string block selected by the selection unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
an acquisition unit configured to acquire one or more OCR results of one or more character string blocks from an input image data;
a selection unit configured to select a naming rule corresponding to the input image data;
a generation unit configured to generate a file name of the input image data, based on the acquired one or more OCR results of the one or more character string blocks and the selected naming rule;
a transmission unit configured to transmit the generated file name to other apparatus;
a reception unit configured to receive a file naming result to which the transmitted file name is corrected on the other apparatus; and
an update unit configured to update the selected naming rule based on the selected naming rule and the received file naming result.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the selection unit selects, as the naming rule corresponding to the input image data, a naming rule corresponding to a similar image which is similar to the input image data.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a storage unit configured to store a plurality of naming rules each of which is associated with identification information about image data,
wherein the selection unit selects, from the plurality of naming rules stored in the storage unit, the naming rule corresponding to the similar image which is similar to the input image data.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the stored plurality of naming rules includes information for identifying the character string block to be used for the generation of the file name.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the acquisition unit acquires a character string block, a position of the character string block, and a size of the character string block, from the image data.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the selection unit selects the naming rule associated with identification information about the similar image similar to the input image data, from the one or more file naming rules stored in the storage unit, by using the position and the size of the character string block acquired by the acquisition unit.

7. A control method for an information processing apparatus comprising:
acquiring one or more OCR results of one or more character string blocks from an input image data;
selecting a naming rule corresponding to the input image data;
generating a file name of the input image data, based on the acquired one or more OCR results of the one or more character string blocks and the selected naming rule;
transmitting the generated file name to other apparatus;
receiving a file naming result to which the transmitted file name is corrected on the other apparatus; and
updating the selected naming rule based on the selected naming rule and the received file naming result.

8. A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program executing a control method for an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
acquiring one or more OCR results of one or more character string blocks from an input image data;
selecting a naming rule corresponding to the input image data;
generating a file name of the input image data, based on the acquired one or more OCR results of the one or more character string blocks and the selected naming rule;
transmitting the generated file name to other apparatus;
receiving a file naming result to which the transmitted file name is corrected on the other apparatus; and
updating the selected naming rule based on the selected naming rule and the received file naming result.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein, if the reception unit receives a plurality of file naming results for a plurality of similar images, the update unit determines whether the plurality of file naming results includes a fixed character string,
wherein, if it is determined that the plurality of file naming results includes the fixed character string, the updating unit updates the selected naming rule to the updated naming rule that includes information of the fixed character string, and
wherein the generation unit generates a new file name for a new input image based on the updated naming rule if the update unit updates the selected naming rule to the updated naming rule.
