DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT APPARATUS AND DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT METHOD
First Claim
1. A document management apparatus comprising:
- a document area analyzing unit configured to analyze and extract a document area from image data;
a text information analyzing unit configured to analyze and extract text information with respect to the document area extracted by the document area analyzing unit;
a text information semantic analysis unit configured to analyze and extract semantics of the text information from the text information extracted by the text information analyzing unit;
a managing unit configured to associate the document area extracted by the document area analyzing unit, the text information extracted by the text information analyzing unit and the semantics of the text information extracted by the text information analyzing unit with each other, and manage them as integrated information;
an integrated information presenting unit configured to present to a user at least the semantics of the text information, of the integrated information managed by the managing unit; and
a user-designated semantic setting unit configured to be capable of allowing the user to change the semantics of the text information presented by the integrated information presenting unit and to set the changed semantics.
