Abstract: Annotation methods and systems for supporting the annotation of documents in the format of a rendering engine are provided. The annotation system allows for the adding of annotations to documents, the displaying of annotations over content of the documents, and the displaying of annotations in an annotation pane. To provide annotation support for a document, the annotation system augments the document with elements including an element with annotation engine code and elements to support the collecting and displaying of annotations. When the rendering engine renders the document, it executes the annotation engine code to effect the collecting and displaying of the annotations.

Abstract: A terminal and a method for exchanging electronic business cards that can guarantee privacy and guarantee complete and consistent communications to the user are provided. The terminal for exchanging electronic business cards with a device connected via a communications network stores the first public key and the first secret key, the first electronic certificate that includes the first public key and components of an electronic business card. The terminal prepares a first electronic business card from the components of an electronic business card that have been read from the memory, transmits the first electronic business card, together with the first electronic certificate that has been read from the memory, receives data encrypted by using the first public key, and decodes the encrypted data that has been received by using the first secret key that has been read from the memory.

Abstract: A novel information processing system, information processing method, program, and recording medium related to electronic business cards are provided. An information processing system for generating data of an electronic business card, stores personal information, and stores one or more presentation method data. Each of the presentation method data specifies a method for presenting the personal information in the electronic business card. The information processing system generates the data of the electronic business card by using the personal information and one of the presentation method data, when an instruction to use the data of the electronic business card is inputted.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic business card processing device and an electronic business card processing method which can effectively utilize information relating to electronic business cards. A business card is displayed on a display on the basis of stored information. When a cursor is positioned on the displayed business card, a tool bar is displayed on the displayed business card. The tool bar has one or a plurality of buttons. By using information unique to the displayed business card, processing corresponding to a selected button is executed. In another embodiment, in response to positioning of the cursor of the pointing device on a predetermined text field of the business card, a selectable tag is displayed on the displayed business card. An application program associated with the selected tag is started, and the information unique to the text field on which the cursor has been positioned is supplied to the started application program.

Abstract: When a PC receives an electronic business card from other PCs in a business card exchange system, the PC stores the electronic business card in a database and stores personal information described in the electronic business card in a directory by a manual instruction.
