Abstract

A document processing device includes: a character information extracting unit that extracts character information from document image data; a feature character string extracting unit that extracts, as document name candidate character strings, a given number of character strings indicative of features of the document image data from the character information extracted by the character information extracting unit; an output condition acquiring unit that, when the document image data is processed by one of multiple processing methods involving an output of a document name of the document image data, acquires an output condition required for the output of the document name of the document image data; and a document name generating unit that generates the document name complying with a character condition corresponding to the output condition from the document name candidate character strings.

Claims

1. A document processing device comprising:

a character information extracting unit that extracts character information from document image data;

a feature character string extracting unit that extracts, as document name candidate character strings, a given number of character strings indicative of features of the document image data from the character information extracted by the character information extracting unit;

an output condition acquiring unit that, when the document image data is processed by one of multiple processing methods involving an output of a document name of the document image data, acquires an output condition required for the output of the document name of the document image data; and

a document name generating unit that generates the document name complying with a character condition corresponding to the output condition from the document name candidate character strings.

2. The document processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the output condition acquiring unit acquires a character code as the output condition, and

the document name generating unit uses the character code, which is the output condition, as the character condition and generates the document name using the character code.

3. The document processing device according to claim 1, wherein

when the output condition acquiring unit acquires an output condition that a destination to which the document name is output is storing in a storage media, the document name generating unit uses, as the character condition, a character code that is used in the document image data and generate the document name using the character code.

4. The document processing device according to claim 1, wherein

when the output condition acquiring unit acquires an output condition that the destination to which the document name is output by email sending or data transmission is a different device, the document name generating unit generates a document name using an ASCII character code as the character condition.

5. The document processing device according to claim 1, wherein

when the output condition acquiring unit acquires an output condition that a destination to which the document name is output by email sending is a different device and acquires a data volume limit for attachment document for the email sending as an output condition, the document name generating unit generates, to sets of split document data that is obtained by splitting the document image data according to the data volume limit, document names that are given the same name between the sets of split document date and to which sequence information representing sequence in a corresponding document is added.

6. An image processing apparatus in which a document image data is loaded, a document processor gives a document name to the document image data and stores the document name, and the document image data is output in response to a request to output the stored document image data, wherein

the document processing device according to claim 1 is mounted as the document processor.

7. A document processing method comprising steps of:

a character information extracting processing of extracting character information from document image data;

a feature character string extracting processing of extracting, as document name candidate character strings, a given number of character strings indicative of features of the document image data from the character information that is extracted at the character information extracting processing step;

an output condition acquiring processing of, when the document image data is processed by one of multiple processing methods involving an output of a document name of the document image data, acquiring an output condition required for the output of the document name of the document image data; and

a document name generating processing of generating the document name complying with a character condition corresponding to the output condition from the document name candidate character strings.

8. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-usable medium having computer-readable program codes embodied in the medium, wherein the program codes when executed cause a computer to execute:

a character information extracting processing of extracting character information from document image data;

a feature character string extracting processing of extracting, as document name candidate character strings, a given number of character strings indicative of features of the document image data from the character information that is extracted by the character information extracting processing;

an output condition acquiring processing of, when the document image data is processed by one of multiple processing methods involving an output of a document name of the document image data, acquiring an output condition required for the output of the document name of the document image data; and

a document name generating processing of generating the document name complying with a character condition corresponding to the output condition from the document name candidate character strings.
