Information processing apparatus and method for correcting electronic information obtained from handwritten information
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an image data obtaining unit configured to obtain image data generated by scanning a confirmation/correction form on a recording medium;
a workflow definition obtaining unit configured to obtain a workflow definition of a workflow that includes a workflow step corresponding to the recording medium;
a form definition obtaining unit configured to obtain a form definition of the confirmation/correction form corresponding to the workflow step based on the workflow definition;
a field image extracting unit configured to extract a field image of a field of the confirmation/correction form from the image data based on the form definition;
a handwriting image extracting unit configured to remove a previous handwriting image and extract a current handwriting image from the field image if the field image contains both the previous handwriting image and the current handwriting image, and to extract the current handwriting image from the field image if the field image contains only the current handwriting image; and
a color information obtaining unit configured to obtain color information indicating a brightness or saturation level of the previous handwriting image from a color information storing unit, whereinthe handwriting image extracting unit is configured to remove the previous handwriting image from the field image based on the brightness or saturation level, andthe current handwriting image corresponds to handwritten information that is written on the recording medium without an electronic pen.

6. An information processing method, comprising the steps of:
-
a) obtaining image data generated by scanning a confirmation/correction form on a recording medium; b) obtaining a workflow definition of a workflow that includes a workflow step corresponding to the recording medium; c) obtaining a form definition of the confirmation/correction form corresponding to the workflow step based on the workflow definition; d) extracting a field image of a field of the confirmation/correction form from the image data based on the form definition; e) removing a previous handwriting image and extracting a current handwriting image from the field image if the field image contains both the previous handwriting image and the current handwriting image, or extracting the current handwriting image from the field image if the field image contains only the current handwriting image, the current handwriting image corresponding to handwritten information that is written on the recording medium without an electronic pen; and f) obtaining color information indicating a brightness or saturation level of the previous handwriting image, wherein in step e), the previous handwriting image is removed from the field image based on the brightness or saturation level. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
