Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus. When an information processing apparatus receives a selection of a position under a situation where an image including a plurality of recognized cells is displayed on a display unit, the information processing apparatus displays an editing region for allowing a user to edit a text included in a recognized cell including the position, and a handle for changing the position of the recognized cell including the position which has been received a selection.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
a control unit configured to display an image including a plurality of recognized cells on a display unit; and a receiving unit configured to receive a selection of a position in the image, wherein, when the receiving unit receives a selection of a position, the control unit displays on the display unit an editing region for allowing a user to edit a text included in a recognized cell including the position that has received the selection, and a handle for changing the position of the recognized cell including the position that has received the selection.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a result of character recognition performed on the text is displayed on the editing region, and
wherein, when the receiving unit receives an instruction of changing the result of the character recognition to another text on the editing region, the control unit deletes from the displayed image the text included in the recognized cell in which the position has been changed by using the handle and, instead, displays a text corresponding to the another text in the recognized cell in which the position has been changed by using the handle.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein, when the receiving unit receives an instruction of changing the result of the character recognition of the text to another text on the editing region, the control unit further deletes the handle displayed on the display unit and, instead, displays on the display unit a frame of a circumscribed rectangle surrounding the another text displayed in the recognized cell, together with a new handle.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, when the control unit displays the text corresponding to the another text in the recognized cell, the control unit displays the text corresponding to the another text at a position corresponding to the frame of the circumscribed rectangle in the recognized cell.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein, in a case where the circumscribed rectangle is placed leftward in the recognized cell, the position corresponding to the frame of the circumscribed rectangle is a position starting from a left frame of the circumscribed rectangle, and
wherein, in a case where the circumscribed rectangle is placed rightward in the recognized cell, the position corresponding to the frame of the circumscribed rectangle is a position ending at a right frame of the circumscribed rectangle.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the recognized cell is a region surrounded by ruled lines forming a table region included in the scan image or a circumscribed rectangle of a white pixel cluster detected from the table region.

7 . An information processing method comprising:
displaying an image including a plurality of recognized cells on a display unit; and receiving a selection of a position in the image, wherein, when a selection of a position is received, an editing region for allowing a user to edit a text included in the recognized cell including the position which has received a selection, and a handle for changing the position of the recognized cell including the position which has received a selection, are displayed on the display unit.

8 . The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein a result of character recognition performed on the text is displayed on the editing region, and
wherein, when an instruction of changing the result of the character recognition to another text on the editing region, the text included in the recognized cell of which the position was changed by the handle is deleted from the displayed image and, instead, a text corresponding to the another text is displayed in the recognized cell of which the position was changed by using the handle.

9 . The information processing method according to claim 8 , wherein, when an instruction for changing the result of the character recognition on the text to another text on the editing region is received, the handle displayed on the display unit is deleted and, instead, a frame of a circumscribed rectangle surrounding the another text displayed in the recognized cell is displayed on the display unit, together with a new handle.

10 . The information processing method according to claim 9 , wherein, when the text corresponding to the another text is displayed in the recognized cell, the text corresponding to the another text is displayed at a position corresponding to the frame of the circumscribed rectangle in the recognized cell.

11 . The information processing method according to claim 10 , wherein, in a case where the circumscribed rectangle is placed leftward in the recognized cell, the position corresponding to the frame of the circumscribed rectangle is a position starting from a left frame of the circumscribed rectangle, and
wherein, in a case where the circumscribed rectangle is placed rightward in the recognized cell, the position corresponding to the frame of the circumscribed rectangle is a position ending at a right frame of the circumscribed rectangle.

12 . The information processing method according to claim 7 , wherein the recognized cell is a region surrounded by ruled lines forming a table region included in the scan image or a circumscribed rectangle of a white pixel cluster detected from the table region.

13 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for controlling a computer to function as:
a control unit configured to display an image including a plurality of recognized cells on a display unit; and a receiving unit configured to receive a selection of a position in the image, wherein, when the receiving unit receives a selection of a position, the control unit displays on the display unit an editing region for allowing a user to edit a text included in a recognized cell including the position which has received a selection, and a handle for changing the position of the recognized cell including the position which has received a selection.

14 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 13 , wherein a result of character recognition performed on the text is displayed on the editing region, and
wherein, when the receiving unit receives an instruction for changing the result of the character recognition to another text on the editing region, the control unit deletes from the displayed image the text included in the recognized cell of which the position was changed by using the handle and, instead, displays a text corresponding to the another text in the recognized cell of which the position was changed by using the handle.

15 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 14 , wherein, when the receiving unit receives an instruction for changing the result of the character recognition on the text to another text on the editing region, the control unit further deletes the handle displayed on the display unit and, instead, displays on the display unit a frame of a circumscribed rectangle surrounding the another text displayed in the recognized cell, together with a new handle.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 15 , wherein, when the control unit displays the text corresponding to the another text in the recognized cell, the control unit displays the text corresponding to the another text at a position corresponding to the frame of the circumscribed rec
