Patent number: 6044420Abstract: A data outputting system realizes tacit viewing by representing pieces of peripheral data related to focused data to which a user pays attention at an appropriate timing. In the system, the data to which the user pays attention is selected by a data designating element as focused data from the plural pieces of data held by a database, and a focused data representing element makes the outputting element output the focused data. A peripheral data determining element selects the pieces of peripheral data from the plural pieces of data held by the database based on the degree of relation to the focused data, and a timing determining element determines the timing of representation of the peripheral data in accordance with the attributes of the focused data, the history of representation of the focused data in the past, the attributes of the user, and so on. Then a peripheral data representing element makes the outputting element output the pieces of peripheral data at the determined timing.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1998Date of Patent: March 28, 2000Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshifumi Matsunaga, Hirohito Shibata, Toshikatsu Suzuki
