Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for managing image information, the process comprising: receiving a request to store an electronic image of a document; obtaining a storage location to which the electronic image is to be stored; acquiring, from a memory that stores metadata associating at least one storage condition with at least one storage location, a storage condition among the at least one storage condition that is associated with the storage location, the storage condition identifying a feature of electronic images allowed to be stored in the storage location; extracting feature information from the electronic image; determining whether the extracted feature information of the electronic image satisfies the feature identified by the storage condition; and storing the electronic image in the storage location in response to determining that the extracted feature information satisfies the feature identified by the storage condition and rejecting the request to store the electronic image of the document in response to determining that the extracted feature information does not satisfy the feature identified by the storage condition, wherein the electronic image an electronic image read from a paper document through an image reader, wherein the storage condition includes a read condition when the electronic image is read, wherein the storage condition contains a first read condition of reading so as to provide a smaller number of pieces of image information than a number of paper documents and a second read condition of reading so as to provide a larger number of pieces of image information than the number of paper documents, the number of paper documents is set as the storage condition, when the image information is read by the first read condition, the acquiring step provides the smaller number of pieces of image information than the number of paper documents based on the first read condition, and when the image information is read by the second read condition, the acquiring step provides the larger number of pieces of image information than the number of paper documents based on the second read condition.
