1. A mobile device comprising:
- a means for capturing an image;
a means for displaying the captured image;
a means for automatically extracting a character line embedded area in the captured image;
a means for confirming the character line embedded area extracted by the extracting means is to be processed for recognition;
a means for recognizing a character line embedded in the confirmed character line embedded area;
a means for transmitting the recognition result via a network; and
a means for receiving feedback via the network based on the recognition result, wherein the extracting means continues extracting character line embedded areas from changing captured images, and the displaying means displays the extracted character line embedded area accordingly until a confirming signal is input to the confirming means.

Abstract
The invention relates to a mobile device with a built-in image capture device, and a character recognition function to present the information gathered with the character recognition result. With the mobile device, the character line extraction process is displayed whenever necessary, and the resolution of an image to be inputted for recognition processing is enhanced. Accordingly, it is possible for the operator to select the target character line with ease. In addition, the mobile device has a character recognition ratio improved by the enhancement in resolution.
