Document processing device, document processing method, and storage medium recording program therefor

Abstract

The present invention provides a document processing device, a document processing method, and a storage medium recording program therefore. The document processing device of the invention includes: an inputting unit that inputs page image data corresponding to images of pages of a document; an extracting unit that analyzes the page image data input by the inputting unit, specifies the content of each item contained in the document corresponding to that page image data, and extracts item data, the item data being character strings expressing that content; a generating unit that links the item data extracted by the extracting unit and generates name data, the name data being a character string expressing a name to be attached to the document; and a writing unit that associates the name data generated by the generating unit with the page image data input by the inputting unit and writes the name data and the page image data to a memory.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for digitizing and storing paper documents, and more particularly relates to a technique for digitizing and storing paper documents that attaches a unique name to each paper document. Background technique [0002] Paper documents (hereinafter also referred to as "documents") are important media for disseminating and recording information, but have problems including requiring space for storage such as archives. In addition, when information is recorded in paper documents and stored, if the information recorded in those paper documents is required later, it is necessary to find out the information recorded in a plurality of paper documents stored in document libraries and the like. Paper documentation of expected information. In other words, recording and storing information in paper documents is not ideal from an operational efficiency standpoint. [0003] In this context, digitizing and storing paper docu...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, if the user is forced to predetermine the file name, this presents a problem that it will place a very large burden on the user when digitizing a large number of paper documents in batches

However, since a file name appended in this way does not indicate, for example, the content of a paper document corresponding to said file, when retrieving a file containing the desired information at a later date, it occurs that the content of each file needs to be checked such a great inconvenience
