  • Publication number: 20080104523
    Abstract: A message exchange unit receives and distributes a message in a community in which a plurality of users participates. A message memory stores the message received by the message exchange unit. An extraction rule memory stores an extraction rule applicable for the message. The extraction rule includes an extraction pattern, an extraction target and a display format. An information extraction unit extracts information from the message stored in the message memory by referring to the extraction rule. An extraction result memory stores extraction result information by the information extraction unit. An extraction result editing unit edits the extraction result information stored in the extraction result memory. A message generation unit generates another message representing editing of the extraction result information.

  • Publication number: 20060218139
    Abstract: A document operation unit operates on a plurality of documents in response to a user's operation request. A document relation data acquirement unit acquires relation data among the plurality of documents. The relation data includes an identifier of the user, a date of an operation, a kind of the operation, and a task as an operation purpose. A document relation data memory stores the relation data. An indication unit indicates a task in response to a user's indication request. A document evaluation unit retrieves the relation data including the indicated task from the document relation data memory, and assigns a value to each document based on the retrieved relation data. A document presentation unit presents at least one document having a larger value.
