Form Processing Apparatus Resubmission Image Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing form processing systems fail to effectively handle inadequacies in submitted forms, particularly when a name or signature is missing or incorrect, requiring resubmission without preserving the original form data.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that recognizes inadequate fields in a form image and generates a resubmission image with blank fields for the inadequate areas, allowing for the preservation of original data and facilitating re-submission by users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the original form is replaced with a resubmission form when inadequacy is found, then the resubmission process is simplified, but the original form data is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the original form image and uses this copy as the basis for generating the resubmission form. The original form image is preserved in the storage unit, while the copied image is processed to create the resubmission form with blank fields at inadequate positions. This copying approach allows the resubmission process to be simplified without losing the original form data.
2Ease of operation
If all fields are made blank in the resubmission form, then users can re-enter all information, but the effort to preserve accurate original data is wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by making only the specific fields that contain inadequate information blank in the resubmission form, while preserving the content of fields with correct information. The field determination unit identifies which fields are inadequate, and the image generation unit creates blank fields only at those specific positions. This allows users to re-enter only the necessary information rather than all fields, saving time while ensuring data accuracy.
3Quantity of substance
If the form processing system stores only the final valid form, then storage space is optimized, but the ability to trace and manage resubmission history is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a nested structure where the resubmission form is generated based on the original form image, creating a hierarchical relationship between the two. The original form image is stored and serves as the foundation, while the resubmission form contains the corrected information. This nesting approach allows the system to maintain both forms efficiently, optimizing storage space while preserving the ability to trace and manage resubmission history through the linked structure.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to acquire recognized items obtained by recognizing characters in a first image showing a reading target including one or more first fields in which characters are written and a second field in which a name or a signature is written, if any one of the first fields is inadequate, create a second image having blank fields for the inadequate first field and the second field, if the second field is inadequate, create a second image having a blank field for the second field, and output the created second image.
