  • Publication number: 20190235734
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a deformation unit that temporarily deforms a display image indicating a target in response to an operation in a case where a user performs the operation on the target, in which, in a case where the operation is an operation of moving, copying, or deleting the target from a location where the target is originally present on a screen, the deformation unit deforms the display image indicating the target before being operated in a state in which the target remains.

  • Patent number: 9064218
    Abstract: An information processor includes: an information adding unit that adds to an electronic document as an object to be processed by a work in a work flow showing the flow of the work relative to a plurality of works additional information designating a connection to the electronic document to an address; and a first output unit that outputs the additional information by coordinating with the electronic document in a case where the electronic document is accessed by the operation of an operator corresponding to the address of the additional information added by the information adding unit.

  • Publication number: 20140278720
    Abstract: A workflow generation supporting apparatus includes a unit extracting difference information between old and new work rules documents; a unit obtaining association information between configuration information of the old work rules document and steps of a workflow of the old work rules document; and a supporting unit supporting generation of a workflow of the new work rules document by presenting a step to be changed in the workflow of the old work rules document based on the difference information and the association information. When the difference information includes an added configuration, the supporting unit compares the layers in terms of the logical configuration of the added configuration and an immediately previous step, and, when the layer of the added configuration is lower than the layer of the immediately previous step, presents the immediately previous step as a step to be changed in the workflow of the old work rules document.

  • Publication number: 20010025287
    Abstract: A document integrated management apparatus which manages documents, stored in plural databases controlled by different applications, based on linkage of the documents. A linkage information manager manages linkage information of documents stored in the plural databases managed by the different applications or document sets each having one or more documents linked to each other, and a document information manager manages document information on the documents or document sets. When a client designates a document set, a search is performed on the document information and the linkage information, and the client can extract a document linked to the document set. Thus document extraction or search can be performed without consciousness of control applications of the databases holding the respective documents.
