Claim:
1. An information processing device comprising: a specifying unit to specify a plurality of parts where a character string is described in image data; a type determining unit to determine a type of the image data; a layout information acquiring unit to acquire, for each of the plurality of parts specified by the specifying unit, layout information including a position of the part in the image data and a size of described characters; and an estimating unit to calculate, for each of the plurality of parts, a likelihood as a character string having a predetermined attribute that can be included in the image data based on a positional relationship with other parts and on a size relationship with other parts, and estimating a part where a character string having the predetermined attribute is described based on the likelihood, wherein the estimating unit estimates a part where a character string having the predetermined attribute is described, by using an equation for calculating the likelihood indicating a possibility of being a character string suitable for classifying image data of the type determined, the equation is chosen according to the type determined by the type determining unit.
