Patent ID: 8233165

Claim:
A document processing apparatus comprising: a reading unit configured to read an original image to thereby generate image data; a recognition unit configured to recognize whether or not the original image read by said reading unit is of a specific format; a determination unit configured to be operable when said recognition unit recognizes that a first original image read by said reading unit is of a specific format, to determine whether or not the first original image is of the specific format having an entry made thereto; a first processing unit configured to be operable when said determination unit determines that the first original image is of the specific format having an entry made thereto, to perform a first processing associated with the specific format on first image data generated by said reading unit by reading the first original image; and a second processing unit configured to perform second processing associated with the specific format on second image data generated by said reading unit by reading a second original image in association with the first original image, the second original image being not recognized by said recognition unit to be of the specific format, wherein said recognition unit recognizes, based on an identifier extracted from the image data, whether or not the original image read by said reading unit is of a specific format, and wherein the document processing apparatus is connected to an external information processing apparatus that creates information indicative of the identifier, information concerning the specific format associated with the identifier, and information indicative of the first processing and the second processing, the document processing apparatus further comprising: a receiving unit configured to receive the information indicative of the identifier, the information concerning the specific format associated with the identifier, and the information indicative of the first processing and the second processing, from the information processing apparatus; and a storage unit configured to store the information indicative of the identifier, the information concerning the specific format associated with the identifier, and the information indicative of the first processing and the second processing, which are transmitted from the information processing apparatus.
