  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a captured image transmission process. Hereinafter, the captured image transmission process will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the form definition table 710 and the transmission image size definition table 720 in FIG. 7 are tables managed in the external memory 212 of the information processing apparatus 101.

  In step S <b> 401, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 receives a login to the information processing system 100 performed by a user of the information processing system 100. Note that an image analysis application serving as a user interface in the captured image transmission processing may be an application installed in the information processing apparatus 101 or an application such as a Web application displayed on a browser.

  In step S <b> 402, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 captures an image to be analyzed using the camera 215. That is, step S402 is a step showing an example of processing for imaging an imaging object.

  In this embodiment, the captured image is obtained using the camera 215 of the information processing apparatus 101. However, the information processing apparatus displays an image captured using a digital camera or an image scanned using a scanner. 101 may be taken in. In this embodiment, the document is taken as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but is not limited to this, such as a note, a notebook, an entry sheet, a form, a catalog, a flyer, a brochure, a pattern such as a barcode, and a figure. Any object that can be imaged, such as a map, a picture, a photograph, an object, a landscape, a building, an organism, a face, or biometric information such as fingerprints and retina used for biometric authentication, may be used.

  In step S <b> 403, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 stores the image captured in step S <b> 402 (hereinafter, “captured image”) in the external memory 212. That is, step S403 is a step showing an example of processing for storing the captured image.

  In step S404, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 extracts the captured image stored in the external memory 212 from the external memory 212 using the file path stored in the “form image” column in each record of the form definition table 710. The form ID of the captured image is specified by sequentially comparing the image with the form image.

  Specifically, the form image extracted from the external memory 212 is compared with the captured image, and if the images match at a rate equal to or greater than a predetermined value, it is determined that the captured image is a document of the form image, and the captured image The form ID is specified as the form ID corresponding to the form image.

  It should be noted that the images used for this image comparison may be compared without being processed, or image comparison may be performed after image processing such as extracting contours in order to increase the accuracy of image comparison. In this embodiment, the document type (form ID) is identified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. If the object to be imaged is an object, the object identification ID is used. As described above, identification information for identifying an imaging object may be specified.

  In this embodiment, the form of the document is specified by comparing the captured image with the form image of the form definition table 710. However, the present invention is not limited to this method, and the form ID is assigned to the document to be captured. A method may be used in which a bar code or a number is written, and a form ID is identified by analyzing a captured image. Here, it is assumed that the “shopping credit application form” with form ID = 1000 is specified from the captured image of the document.

  In step S405, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 measures the illuminance on the captured image. That is, step S405 is a step showing an example of processing for measuring the illuminance on the captured image. Specifically, the illuminance of the information processing apparatus 101 is measured using the light receiving unit 218 and the light receiving sensor 217, and the measured illuminance is stored in the external memory 212. Here, it is assumed that the illuminance of the information processing apparatus 101 is measured as 800 lux.

  In this embodiment, the illuminance of the information processing apparatus 101 is measured. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, using a light receiving sensor other than the information processing apparatus 101, Alternatively, the illuminance of a room or the like may be measured and transmitted to the information processing apparatus 101, the luminance of the illumination may be measured, or the illuminance of the captured image is obtained from the brightness of the captured image captured in step S403. May be. Further, the illuminance measured by the user using an illuminance measuring device (not shown) may be input from the display 211 of the information processing apparatus 101.

  In step S <b> 406, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines the size of an image to be transmitted to the server 102. Specifically, the transmission image size is determined by searching the transmission image size definition table 720 (FIG. 7) using the form ID specified in step S404 and the illuminance measured in step S405 as keys.

  That is, the transmission image size definition table 720 is a functional unit that illustrates an example of a unit that manages a processing method of a captured image according to illuminance. The transmission image size definition table 720 is a functional unit that illustrates an example of a unit that manages a processing method of a captured image in accordance with identification information for identifying an imaging target and illuminance. Step S406 is a step showing an example of processing for determining a processing method for a captured image according to illuminance. Step S406 is a step showing an example of processing for determining a processing method for a captured image in accordance with identification information and illuminance of the imaging target.

  Here, it is assumed that the transmission image size definition table 720 is searched using form ID = 1000 and illuminance = 800 as keys, and the transmission image size is determined to be “small”. The transmission image size “large (original)” (hereinafter referred to as “large”) indicates the size of the captured image as it is.

  That is, in step S406, when the illuminance with respect to the captured image is low, it is difficult to analyze the image, so the image is transmitted in a large size. When the illuminance with respect to the captured image is high, the image is easily analyzed and processed into a small size and transmitted. It means that.

  In this embodiment, the “transmission image size” in the transmission image size definition table 720 has three types of large, medium, and small. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and more accurate size designation and captured image are possible. Specify the file size after processing, specify the reduction ratio to reduce the captured image, specify the resolution after processing the captured image, specify the color reduction method, specify contrast, specify sharpness, specify color correction, or specify the captured image It may be a compression method for compression, a designation of a compression rate, or the like. In other words, the transmission image size definition table 720 only needs to manage the processing method of the captured image according to the illuminance.

  Thereby, since a processing method can be determined according to brightness (illuminance), the optimal image according to brightness can be created. In addition, since the processing method can be determined according to the object to be imaged, an optimal image corresponding to the object to be imaged can be created.

  In step S407, if the transmission image size is “medium” or “small”, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 proceeds to step S408, and if the transmission image size is “large”, the imaging performed in step S402. The image is not processed and stored in the RAM 202 as a transmission image to be transmitted to the server thereafter, and the process proceeds to step S409.

  In step S408, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 processes the captured image so that the image size becomes “medium” or “small”, and then stores the image in the RAM 202 as a transmission image to be transmitted to the server. That is, step S408 is a step showing an example of processing for processing a captured image in accordance with the measured illuminance. Step S408 is a step showing an example of processing for processing a captured image by the determined processing method. Thereby, the file size of the transmission image can be made smaller than the file size of the captured image. That is, even when the file size of the captured image is large, the load on the network and the server can be suppressed because the image is processed into an optimal image.

  In this embodiment, the size of the captured image is processed to “medium” or “small”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the processing is performed by specifying a more accurate size and the specified file size. Processing, processing by specifying reduction ratio, processing by specifying resolution, processing by specifying color reduction method, processing by specifying contrast, processing by specifying sharpness, processing by specifying color correction, or captured image Processing such as processing may be performed by designating a compression method or a compression rate for compressing. That is, any process that processes the captured image so that it can be normally analyzed may be used.

  In step S409, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 displays a transmission image confirmation screen 500 (FIG. 5) on the display 211.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a transmission image confirmation screen displayed on the information processing apparatus 101. The image 501 is a transmission image stored in the RAM 202 in step S407 or step S408. Thereby, the user can confirm whether the transmission image transmitted to a server after this is an appropriate image.

  The contrast adjustment bar 502 is a bar for adjusting the contrast of the image 501 (transmission image). The transmission image size radio button 503 is a state in which the captured image size (large / medium / small) determined in step S406 is selected. Also, the user can change the size of the transmission image by operating the transmission image size radio button 503. Further, there are a cancel button 504 for canceling transmission to the server, a re-imaging button 505 for re-imaging, and a transmission button 506 for transmitting an image 501 (transmission image) to the server.

  In step S <b> 410, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 accepts and determines a user operation on the transmission image confirmation screen 500. If the contrast adjustment bar 502 is changed, the process proceeds to step S411. If the transmission image size radio button 503 is changed, the process returns to step S407. If the re-imaging button 505 is pressed, the process returns to step S402. If is pressed, the process proceeds to step S412.

  In step S411, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 changes the contrast of the image 501 (transmission image) and stores it in the RAM 202 as a transmission image.

  In step S <b> 412, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 turns off the retransmission flag and stores it in the RAM 202. The size of the image 501 (transmission image) is also stored in the RAM 202.

  In step S <b> 413, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 transmits an image 501 (transmission image) to the server 102. That is, step S413 is a step showing an example of processing for transmitting the processed captured image to the server.

  In step S <b> 414, the server 102 receives the image 501 transmitted from the information processing apparatus 101.

  In step S 415, the server 102 performs image analysis on the received image 501 and stores the result in the RAM 202. Specifically, the image 501 is subjected to OCR processing and character recognition is performed. Since the OCR process is a known technique, the description thereof is omitted. In this embodiment, the OCR process is taken as an example of the image analysis. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but the OMR process, barcode reading process, pattern recognition process, face recognition, biometric authentication fingerprint / Any process for analyzing the received image, such as a process for reading biological information such as the retina, may be used.

  In step S416, the server 102 transmits the result (OK or NG) of the image analysis performed in step S414 to the information processing apparatus 101. In this embodiment, the image analysis result to be transmitted to the information processing apparatus 101 is OK or NG. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and some NG, conditional OK, information obtained by analysis, and the like May be sent.

  In step S <b> 417, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 receives the image analysis result transmitted from the server 102.

  In step S418, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines the received image analysis result. If NG, the process proceeds to step S419, and if OK, the process proceeds to step S425. That is, step S418 is a step showing an example of processing for determining whether or not the transmitted captured image has been normally processed by the server.

  In step S419, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 displays the image analysis result NG screen 620 (FIG. 6). The image analysis result NG screen 620 displays a message to be retransmitted to the server 102 by increasing the size of the transmission image because the image analysis could not be performed. If the OK button on the image analysis result NG screen 620 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S420.

  In step S420, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 proceeds to step S421 if the transmission image size stored in the RAM 202 in step S412 is “large”, and proceeds to step S422 if the transmission image size is “small”. In the case of “medium”, the process proceeds to step S423.

  In other words, if the image 501 transmitted to the server 102 in step S413 is a captured image itself, it cannot be transmitted in a larger size, so the process proceeds to step S421 to re-image and re-process the captured image so that the size is larger than the image 501. If the image can be created, the process proceeds to step S422 and reprocessed. If the captured image cannot be created even if the captured image is reprocessed, the process proceeds to step S423 and the captured image itself is transmitted.

  In this embodiment, when the image analysis cannot be performed, the processing is performed so as to be larger than the previous transmission image size. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, processing such as a color reduction method or a compression method is performed. It may be changed to a method / method different from the previous transmission image. In this case, the “transmission image size” column of the transmission image size definition table 720 is changed to the “processing method” column, and the “processing method” column includes “binarization” and “reduction to 16 colors” if the color reduction method. If the compression method is used, values such as “GIF”, “JPEG”, “BMP”,... Are stored. That is, if the image analysis fails due to “binarization”, “decrease to 16 colors” is set. If further failure occurs, “Reduce to 256 colors” is selected. That is, any process that reprocesses the captured image so as to be normally analyzed may be used.

  In step S <b> 421, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 displays a re-imaging message screen 630 (FIG. 6) on the display 211. On the re-imaging message screen 630, a message is displayed that a larger image cannot be created even if the captured image is reprocessed, and that a re-imaging is desired in a brighter place. If the OK button on the re-imaging message screen 630 is pressed, the process returns to step S402.

  In step S422, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 processes the captured image captured in step S402 so that the image size becomes “medium”, and then stores the processed image in the RAM 202 as a transmission image to be transmitted to the server. That is, step S422 is a step illustrating an example of processing for transmitting a captured image processed by a processing method different from the processing method of the transmitted captured image when it is determined that the processing has not been performed normally. Thereby, the file size of the transmission image can be made smaller than the file size of the captured image. As described above, even when the captured image has a large file size, the load on the network and the server can be suppressed because the image is processed into an optimal image.

  In step S <b> 423, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 turns on the retransmission flag and stores it in the RAM 202. Retransmission flag = ON means that the image analysis was NG and the image was retransmitted. The size of the transmission image to be retransmitted is also stored in the RAM 202.

  In step S424, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 transmits a transmission image to the server 102, and returns to step S414.

  In step S425, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 displays an image analysis result OK screen 610 (FIG. 6). On the image analysis result OK screen 610, a message indicating that image analysis has been normally performed is displayed. If the OK button on the image analysis result NG screen 620 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S420.

  In step S426, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 determines the retransmission flag stored in the RAM 202. If the flag is ON, the process proceeds to step S427. If the flag is OFF, the captured image transmission process ends.

  In step S427, the CPU 201 of the information processing apparatus 101 updates the record of the transmission image size definition table 720. That is, in step S427, when it is determined that the analysis is not normally performed, the captured image processed by a processing method different from the processing method of the transmitted captured image is transmitted, and when it is determined that the analysis is normally performed, the transmission image size definition table 720 is a step showing an example of processing for updating the processing method managed in 720 to a different processing method. Thereby, since the transmission image size definition table 720 is updated, an optimal processing method can be determined according to brightness (illuminance).

Specifically, the transmission image size definition table 720 is searched using the form ID specified in step S404 and the illuminance measured in step S405 as keys, and the transmission image size value of the hit record is set in step S423. The transmission image size value stored in the RAM 202 is updated.
The description of the captured image transmission process in FIG.

  As described above, even when the captured image has a large file size, the load on the network and the server can be suppressed because the image is processed into an optimal image. Moreover, since a processing method can be determined according to brightness (illuminance), an optimal image according to brightness can be created. In addition, since the processing method can be determined according to the object to be imaged, an optimal image corresponding to the object to be imaged can be created.
