Information processing system and information processing method

摘要

An information processing system is provided that includes a device and an information processing apparatus that is connected to the device via a network. The device is configured to scan image data from a paper document, generate reduced data from image data of a part of pages of the paper document each time the image data of the part of the pages of the paper document is scanned, transmit the reduced data to the information processing apparatus each time the reduced data is generated, perform a second process, which differs from a first process performed by the information processing apparatus, with respect to the image data scanned from the paper document to generate second data, receive via the network, first data generated by the first process that is performed by the information processing apparatus with respect to the reduced data, and synthesize the first data and the second data.

主权项

1. An information processing system comprising:
a device; and an information processing apparatus connected to the device via a network; wherein the device includes
a scanner configured to scan image data from a paper document and generate scanned image data;a first hardware processor configured to implement processes of:
generating reduced image data of a part of pages of the paper document each time the scanned image data of the part of the pages of the paper document is scanned by the scanner, the reduced data being generated by reducing a data size of the scanned image data of the part of the pages of the paper document;transmitting the reduced data to the information processing apparatus each time the reduced data is generated by the hardware processor;performing a second process with respect to the scanned image data to generate second data, the second process being different from an optical character recognition process that is performed by the information processing apparatus;receiving, via the network, optical character recognition data generated by the optical character recognition process performed by the information processing apparatus with respect to the reduced data; andsynthesizing the optical character recognition data and the second data to generate a synthesized document based on the optical character recognition data and the second data;wherein the scanner scans the image data from the paper document in parallel with the generation of the reduced data, the transmission of the reduced data, the reception of the first data, and the synthesis of the optical character recognition data and the second data by the-hardware processor; and wherein the information processing apparatus includes
a second hardware processor configured to implement processes of:
receiving the reduced data transmitted by the first hardware processor;performing the optical character recognition process with respect to the reduced data received by the second hardware processor to generate the optical character recognition data; andtransmitting the generated optical character recognition data to the device.
