  • Patent number: 11397320
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a detector and a command unit. The detector detects movement of a user using a display device based on an image photographed by the display device that displays a virtual-space image in such a manner as to be overlapped with a real space and that has a photographing function. The command unit commands the display device to display, as the virtual-space image, relevant information related to input information input to an input target at a position near the input target based on the detected movement of the user.

  • Patent number: 9460477
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes the following elements. A selector selects, as a first item, an item disposed within a QFD chart. A first calculator calculates a correlation score between the first item and an item associated with an adjacent axis. A first extracting unit compares the correlation score with a predetermined value and extracts a second item related to the first item. A second calculator calculates a correlation score between the second item and an item associated with an adjacent axis and determines the calculated correlation score between the item associated with the adjacent axis and the first item. A second extracting unit compares the correlation score with a predetermined value and extracts a third item related to the first item. A display unit displays the first item, the second item, and the third item in a mode different from a mode of the other items.
