Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to: estimate, based on task information that defines respective schedules of a plurality of tasks, a shift possibility of the respective schedules of the tasks; and set information indicating to be opened to be public for a task, the shift possibility estimated at the estimating of which is lower than a reference value out of the tasks, in a storage that stores the schedules of the tasks.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a processor configured to: extract an intention of a user and context of utterance from the utterance of the user via a microphone, generate topic data which includes an execution situation of the intention based on the intention and the context, generate utterance content according to the execution situation of the generated topic data, and output the utterance content to the user via a speaker.

Abstract: An information processing method includes: detecting, by a computer, an execution, by a worker, of a first task not included in a first task flow or a second task that is a task included in the first task flow and is other than a task assigned to the worker; receiving input of the first task or the second task; reflecting a change based on the first task or the second task in the first task flow; and storing difference information on a difference from the first task flow based on reflection of the change in a memory in association with the worker.

Abstract: A task execution support device stores information on a task processed in the past and information of a person in charge associated with the task; executes a process extracting, in response to a new task, a second task similar to the new task from the information on the task; executes a process identifying a person in charge who performed the second task from the information of a person in charge associated with the task and, calculating an evaluation value for the person in charge indicating contribution to the second task, the evaluation value being calculated based on how many times the person in charge has performed an operation of the second task and how many times the person in charge has requested the second task to another person in charge; and executes a process presenting a candidate for a person in charge, who is selected based on the evaluation value.

Abstract: A task switching assisting method includes storing, by an information processing apparatus, task information regarding a task executed by a user. An element related to execution of the task is stored in correlation with the task information, an operation related to the task is determined, a work status with respect to the correlated element related to the execution of the task is determined based on the determined operation related to the task, the task is switched by saving or restoring the work status, based on the task information and the work status with respect to the correlated element related to the execution of the task, task execution resource information for executing the task and task saving resource information at a time of saving the task are analyzed on a task basis, and the task information is generated based on a result of the analysis, by the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: A task execution support device, in a first task flow relating to a plurality of tasks, when receiving an execution support request of a task included in the first task flow, specifies a second task flow group relating to the first task flow based on the received support request and gets an execution status of each task flow included in the specified second task flow group. The task execution support device, based on the obtained execution status of each task flow, extracts executers who are able to respond to the support request among the executers of each task flow. Then, the task execution support device provides support information of task execution executed by the extracted executers for a support requester of the task execution.

Abstract: A scheduling supporting method includes: storing one or more sets of task information and subtask groups each of which corresponds to one set of task information and which is structured to have one or more stages, by a processor; and presenting, at time of presenting each of a plurality of tasks, from among a subtask group corresponding to each task, a subtask of a preset stage according to structure, by the processor.

Abstract: A scheduling support device creates, on the basis of an execution sequence of a plurality of tasks defined by a plurality of pieces of task information, a first schedule related to the tasks; determines, when a new task defined by new task information is detected, the similarity between the task information on the detected new task and the pieces of the task information that define the tasks constituting the first schedule; decides, on the basis of the determined similarity, a candidate for an execution plan for the new task; and creates, on the basis of the execution sequence and the task information on the tasks in the first schedule and on the basis of the task information on the new task, a second schedule by deciding an execution plan for the new task from candidates for the execution plan for the new task.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to generate a first schedule relating to a plurality of tasks based on a first execution order information of the plurality of tasks prescribed by a plurality of pieces of task information, and generate a second schedule that relates to the plurality of tasks and includes contents different from contents of the first schedule based on a first notification relating to the first schedule.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to specify a second user, from among a plurality of users, having a given processing aptitude relating to a first task to be executed by a first user, specify a first overlapping period between a first free period of a first schedule of the first user and a second free period of a second schedule of the second user, and set a scheduled execution period for the first task including at least part of the first overlapping period to the first schedule.
