  • Patent number: 10104031
    Abstract: A plurality of pieces of send candidate information are stored (Step S12). Each piece of send candidate information has recipient identification information identifying a recipient of an email and an email substance (50 and 55) that are associated with each other. The email substance includes a plurality of components (51, 52, and 53). From among the stored pieces of send candidate information, two or more pieces of send candidate information that have the same recipient identification information and at least one of the components related between their email substances are extracted (S13, S14, and S15). An email substance (56) to be sent to the recipient is generated, based on common components related between the email substances of the extracted pieces of send candidate information and on components that are included in the email substances of the extracted pieces of send candidate information and that are other than the common components (S16).

  • Publication number: 20140237344
    Abstract: To provide a post display system, a post display method and a post display program capable of avoiding giving away the content even when a spoiler is posted, a reading terminal (1) functions as a post display system for displaying posted information posted for an electronic book and includes a terminal page management unit (12) and a display restriction unit (14). The terminal page management unit (12) specifies an unread part of the electronic book not read by a user who reads the posted information. The display restriction unit (14) performs control to impose display restrictions on posted information associated with the unread part among posted information associated with any part of the electronic book. An unread part not read by a user is thereby specified, and display restrictions are imposed on posted information associated with the unread part among posted information associated with any part of the electronic book.
