ABSTRACT:
When the content of a paper document is aiming to be recognized in an apparatus that has a scanner, an image of the paper document is subjected to region segmentation processing immediately after the paper document is read, and a recognition operation to be performed on each segmented region is specified by an operator on the basis of the result of the region segmentation processing. Therefore, a recognition method to be performed on each recognition target item can be selected from among recognition by using a recognition service server, recognition by downloading a program module from a program server, and recognition by using a locally-stored program module. As a result, recognition processing can be performed more efficiently.
