More Information
Summary:An electronic apparatus includes a character detector, a feature detector, a character string combiner, and a controller. The character detector detects a first character candidate and a second character candidate from an image. The feature detector detects first feature data and second feature data, the first and second feature data including at least character size, color, or line width of the first and second character candidate. The character string combiner combines the first and second character candidates to form a character string when a degree of coincidence between the first and second feature data at least satisfies a threshold coincidence value. The controller detects a portion of the character string indicative of an attribute and activates a function corresponding to the attribute.
