<p>Position, size and attribute regarding one or a plurality of areas in an image are held as template information. Block areas such as text areas and figure areas are extracted from a document image that has entered from a scanner and an attribute is added to each block area. A block area that at least partially overlaps an area indicated by the template information and whose attribute agrees with the attribute included in the template information is acquired as extracted information from the block areas that have been extracted. This makes it possible to reliably extract a desired area from an entered document image while employing a template. <IMAGE></p> |
