Scanned Document File Naming With OCR Failure Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems fail to ensure that the generated file name accurately reflects the user's intent when character string extraction from scanned images fails, leading to unintended file names being set without user recognition.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that generates property information by obtaining character strings, adding information indicating extraction failure when the generation rule is not met, and provides user interfaces for confirmation and correction of file names and properties.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If character string extraction is performed automatically from scanned images, then productivity is improved, but reliability deteriorates when extraction fails leading to unintended file names
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays extracted character strings and generated file names to users for confirmation, allowing users to provide feedback when extraction results are incorrect or unintended. This feedback mechanism enables correction of extraction errors while maintaining automated processing for successful cases.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary display of extracted character strings and generated file names before final file creation. This preliminary action allows users to review and correct potential errors before they result in unintended file names, improving reliability without sacrificing productivity.
2Ease of operation
If automatic file name generation is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but loss of information increases when extraction fails without user notification
Solution Approach 1:
The system provides visual feedback by displaying extracted character strings and generated file names to users. When extraction fails or produces unintended results, users are notified and can correct the information, preventing loss of information while maintaining ease of operation through automated processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The display interface acts as an intermediary between the automatic extraction process and final file creation. It allows users to review extraction results and make corrections before files are created, ensuring information is not lost even when automatic extraction fails.
3Manufacturing precision
If character recognition processing is performed on all scanned images, then manufacturing precision is improved, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs character recognition processing selectively rather than on all scanned images. When extraction succeeds and produces valid file names, no further processing is needed. Processing is applied only when necessary to achieve the desired accuracy, reducing energy consumption while maintaining precision for cases that require it.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus is an image processing apparatus that generates property information of a scanned image obtained by scanning a document, including: obtaining one or more character strings obtained by character recognition processing on the scanned image; generating the property information by using a character string that meets a generation rule of the property information of the scanned image out of the obtained one or more character strings; and allowing a displaying unit to display the property information. In a case where the obtained one or more character string do not include the character string that meets the generation rule, the property information to which information indicating that the obtainment of the character string that meets the generation rule fails is added is generated.
