An electronic device includes an image reading section, a marker detection section, and a processing section. The marker detection section analyzes image data and detects a first marker portion indicated in the image data and a second marker portion indicated in the image data in a mode different from a mode of the first marker, and also extracts texts indicated in the first marker portion and the second marker portion. The processing section performs processing of transmitting the image data where the text indicated in the first marker portion is defined as a file name of the image data and the text indicated in the second marker portion is defined as a transmission address to which the image data is transmitted.

Electronic device and marker processing method

Provided are: an acquisition section that acquires image data; a detection section that detects a marker portion indicated in the image data; a communication section that performs communication with either one or a plurality of external servers including at least one of a plurality of dictionary functions; a processing section that (i) specifies, from the dictionary functions, a dictionary function in accordance with a type of the marker portion, and (ii) causes the communication section to transmit, to the external server including the specified dictionary function, an instruction to search for a text indicated by the marker portion, and for information related to the text, by using the dictionary function; and a generation section that generates a glossary including the received information related to the text upon reception of the information related to the text as a search result from the external server by the communication section.

Electronic device and electronic device control method

In an area selected as a highlighted display target, an area to be displayed in a highlighted manner or an area to be displayed in a character-invisible manner can be designated based on a color for highlighting. A display control unit for collectively controlling, for each area for which the same color has been designated, whether to display each selected area in at least text of a headword in a manner highlighted with a color designated for each area or to display the area in a character-invisible manner using the designated color and a first accepting unit for accepting designation of a color through a second input portion are provided. When there is an area displayed in a manner highlighted with the designated color at the time of acceptance of designation of the color, the display control unit causes the area displayed in the highlighted manner to be in turn displayed in a character-invisible manner using the designated color. On the other hand, when there is an area displayed in a character-invisible manner using the designated color at the time of acceptance of designation of the color, the display control unit causes the area displayed in the character-invisible manner to be in turn displayed in a manner highlighted with the designated color.
