  • Publication number: 20140149431
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to relevance-based information processing. An aspect includes storing a history of display operations performed by a user on a first electronic file. Another aspect includes inputting display operations into the stored history performed by a user on the first electronic file. Another aspect includes calculating, using a plurality of calculating methods, a plurality of degrees of relevance of a second electronic file to the first electronic file based on the stored history. Another aspect includes calculating a synthesized degree of relevance by synthesizing the plurality of degrees of relevance of the second electronic file to the first electronic file. Another aspect includes displaying an input region on a display for inputting display operations on the first electronic file, and automatically displaying the second electronic file based on the synthesized degree of relevance of the second electronic file to the first electronic file exceeding a predetermined threshold.
