Abstract

An information processing system includes a business-card described information acquiring unit and an association unit. The business-card described information acquiring unit acquires business-card described information that is to be extracted from an image in which a document identification image with which a document is identifiable and an image of a business card are arranged and that is at least part of information described on the business card. The association unit associates the document identified by the document identification image with the business-card described information.

Claims

1. An information processing system comprising:

a business-card information acquiring unit configured to acquire business-card information from an image in which a document identification image and an image of a business card are arranged, the document identification image being separate from the image of the business card; and

an association unit configured to associate the document identified by the document identification image with the business-card information.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1, further comprising:

an additional information acquiring unit configured to acquire additional information from an additional information image arranged in the image,

wherein the association unit is further configured to associate the document identified by the document identification image with the additional information.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2, further comprising:

a specification receiving unit configured to receive a specification of the business-card information associated with another document associated with the document identified by the document identification image,

wherein the association unit is further configured to associate the document identified by the document identification image, the additional information, and the business-card information with the other document.

4. The information processing system according to claim 1,

wherein the document identification image identifies a combination of a document and a user associated with the document, and

wherein the association unit is further configured to associate the document identified by the document identification image and the business-card information acquired by the business-card information acquiring unit with the user associated with the document.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a target image acquiring unit configured to acquire a target image; and

a business-card information extracting unit configured to extract the business-card information from the target image,

wherein the business-card information acquiring unit is further configured to acquire the business-card information extracted by the business-card information extracting unit.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a storage configured to store association information corresponding to the association between the document identified by the document identification image and the business-card information.

9. The information processing system according to claim 8, further comprising:

a controller configured to control to retrieve, from the storage, the association information in response to a request for the association information.

10. The information processing system according to claim 9, further comprising:

a display configured to display at least one of a portion of the document identified by the document identification image and a portion of the business card information based on the retrieved association information.

6. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring business-card information from an image in which a document identification image and an image of a business card are arranged, the document identification image being separate from the image of the business card; and

associating the document identified by the document identification image with the business-card information.

7. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

acquiring business-card information from an image in which a document identification image and an image of a business card are arranged, the document identification image being separate from the image of the business card; and

associating the document identified by the document identification image with the business-card information.

11. An information processing system comprising:

a storage configured to store an electronic document;

a business-card information acquiring unit configured to acquire business-card information from an image in which a document identification image and an image of a business card are arranged, the document identification image includes information which identifies the electronic document; and

an association unit configured to associate the document with the business-card information.

12. The information processing system according to claim 11,

wherein the storage is further configured to store information on a folder which is associated with the electronic document;

and

wherein the association unit is further configured to associate the business-card information with the folder.
