Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to identify, from a character string recognition result for a form, a form feature that indicates at least a field in which the form is used or an attribute of a filling-out person filling out the form, accumulate past correction tendencies for character string recognition results for forms having respective identified form features, and obtain a correction tendency for a form having a form feature that is the same as the identified form feature from among the accumulated correction tendencies, and perform control to display a candidate correct expression for the character string recognition result for the form in accordance with the obtained correction tendency.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising
a processor configured to identify, from a character string recognition result for a form, a form feature that indicates at least a field in which the form is used or an attribute of a filling-out person filling out the form, accumulate past correction tendencies for character string recognition results for forms having respective identified form features, and obtain a correction tendency for a form having a form feature that is the same as the identified form feature from among the accumulated correction tendencies, and perform control to display a candidate correct expression for the character string recognition result for the form in accordance with the obtained correction tendency.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is configured to further identify a form feature for each box of a form in which a character string is entered, and accumulate a correction tendency for a character string recognition result in association with the box of the form as a past correction tendency, and obtain a correction tendency, for a character string, associated with each box of a form of a type that is the same as a type of a received form, and perform control to display a candidate correct expression for each box of the received form in accordance with the obtained correction tendency.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the processor is configured to further identify a combination feature inferred by combining form features identified for respective boxes of a form, and accumulate a correction tendency for a character string recognition result for the form having the combination feature as a past correction tendency, and in a case where the received form has a combination feature, obtain a correction tendency, for a character string, associated with the combination feature from among the accumulated correction tendencies, and perform control to display, in accordance with the obtained correction tendency, a candidate correct expression for a character string in a box with which a form feature used to infer the combination feature is associated.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display the candidate correct expression that is a character string formed of two or more characters.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display the candidate correct expression that is a character string formed of two or more characters.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display the candidate correct expression that is a character string formed of two or more characters.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display the candidate correct expression in units of words.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display the candidate correct expression in units of words.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display the candidate correct expression in units of words.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein
the processor is configured to further perform control to display a reason for displaying the candidate correct expression.

19 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
identifying, from a character string recognition result for a form, a form feature that indicates at least a field in which the form is used or an attribute of a filling-out person filling out the form; accumulating past correction tendencies for character string recognition results for forms having respective identified form features; and obtaining a correction tendency for a form having a form feature that is the same as the identified form feature from among the accumulated correction tendencies, and performing control to display a candidate correct expression for the character string recognition result for the form in accordance with the obtained correction tendency.

20 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
means for identifying, from a character string recognition result for a form, a form feature that indicates at least a field in which the form is used or an attribute of a filling-out person filling out the form; means for accumulating past correction tendencies for character string recognition results for forms having respective identified form features; and means for obtaining a correction tendency for a form having a form feature that is the same as the identified form feature from among the accumulated correction tendencies, and performing control to display a candidate correct expression for the character string recognition result for the form in accordance with the obtained correction tendency.
