Patent number: 10546017Abstract: An information processing apparatus is capable of displaying terms each having a character string embedded in an application and terms each having a character string to be added by at least one term module for the application, on a screen of the application. The information processing apparatus includes circuitry. The circuitry determines, during startup of the information processing apparatus, whether at least one of the application and the at least one term module has been updated. The circuitry generates association information to be stored in a memory, based on determination that at least one of the application and the at least one term module has been updated. The circuitry acquires one of term identification information of the application and term identification information of the at least one term module from the memory. The circuitry selects a character string to be displayed, using the term identification information acquired.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2018Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Keiichiro Hitomi, Kazuki Sasayama, Tatsuma Hirokawa, Zentaroh Ono
