Problems solved by technology

That is, there is a problem that, for example, in the case of metadata of content obtained by analyzing scanned document images, metadata of context such as scanned person, date and time, and metadata of instance such as storage location , deal with the size of the document image in a comprehensive manner, although specific regions of the scanned document image (for example, the region considered to be the header) are extracted as the image, such as who and when that region was originally obtained by scanning images and other information in

Embodiment 1

[0045] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. In the structure of FIG. 1 described above, the first embodiment can be configured to include: an image analysis section 1, a document image management section 2, a content metadata extraction section 3, a content metadata management section 4, a context metadata extraction section 5, Context metadata management section 6 , user request search section 7 , search result screen formation section 8 , and user request screen control section 9 . As an example of processing performed in the first embodiment, the case where, after performing image analysis on a document image obtained by reading a paper document by the image reader 101 such as a scanner, extracting therefrom content metadata, and extract contextual metadata at scan time so that these pieces of metadata are managed along with document images and image objects.

[0046] Here, the paper document is scanned by the image reader 101, and...

Embodiment 2

[0063] In the second embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first embodiment, a user request search section 7, a search result screen forming section 8, and a user request screen control section 9 are further provided.

[0064] The following will explain as an example of the processing performed by these sections in the case where a document that realizes such a function as to facilitate the user to find a document image registered by scanning, browsing a list for its title area, or by further Specifying the category of the list makes it easier to find such documents.

[0065] Here, the user searches for scanned document images by viewing or browsing a list of image objects that are analyzed from the scanned document images and displayed on the screen display device 102, and its [in each image semantic structure] are recognized as "titles" and users can make searches with improved list browsing or viewing capabilities by further filtering ...

Embodiment 3

[0076] In the third embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the second embodiment, a user situation determination search section 10 and a user situation determination screen control section 11 are further provided.

[0077] Examples of processing performed by these sections will be described below.

[0078] When the user operates the screen displayed on the screen display device 102, the user situation determination search section 10 can recognize that the image reader 101 to which the screen display device 102 is directly connected is "FP_01". Therefore, for the user request search section 7, the user situation determination search section 10 can select only the document whose [image creation device] is "MFP_01" from the registered document images.

[0079] In addition, the date and time at which a similar tendency was accomplished in the past is presumed as a regular event from the date and time at which the user operated the screen, so that ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a document image information management device, the metadata of the document image can generally process the document image by processing the document image according to the content of the document image in the unit of each area, so that it can be managed, searched, Operation etc. are more convenient. In order to manage the content and contextual metadata related to the document image, based on the image content of the document image, a specified image area is analyzed as an image object, and based on the content of the image object thus analyzed, attribute information is extracted, therefore, the thus extracted Metadata of content is managed in association with document images and image objects. Also, attribute information is extracted based on the document condition of the document image, and therefore, metadata of the extracted context is managed in association with the document image and the image object.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a document image information management device and a document image information management method for managing content and context metadata related to document images. Background technique [0002] In the management of document image information of a conventional document image information management device, entities such as documents constituted according to a specific format are managed as a whole or each page unit included therein, and collection and registration for information in those units Multiple pieces of metadata of content, context, instance such that each piece of metadata thus collected is associated with a corresponding document image to be used for management, manipulation and search of the document image. [0003] It should be noted here that, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-116946 is a patent document related to such prior art. [0004] However, in conventional document ima...
