Publication number: 20150100866Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory, a display, a transmission unit, a reception unit, and a display operation unit. The memory stores data including an identifier of another apparatus or an identifier of a user of the other apparatus. The display displays an image based on the data. The transmission unit transmits, in a case where the data is specified as a display target, information related to a display operation to be performed on the data to the other apparatus identified by the identifier of the other apparatus or by the identifier of the user of the other apparatus. The reception unit receives, from the other apparatus, an operation command corresponding to a display operation to be performed on the data. The display operation unit operates the displayed image based on the data, in accordance with the received operation command.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2014Publication date: April 9, 2015Applicant: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventor: Yoji KUDO

Publication number: 20090064023Abstract: A memory stores information which includes, in correspondence with each other, an input unit to be operated to instruct execution of a function of the information processing device, a first cost required to instruct the execution of the function using the input unit, and an instruction method to instruct the execution, with the first cost and using the input unit. An identification unit identifies which of the plurality of input units is being operated to instruct the execution of the function by a user. A measurement unit measures a second cost required from start of the user's operation of the identified input unit up to instruction of the execution of the function. If the measured second cost differs from the first cost stored in correspondence with the identified input unit, a presentation unit presents to the user information on the instruction method stored in correspondence with the identified input unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2008Publication date: March 5, 2009Applicant: FUJI XEROX CO., LTD.Inventor: Yoji KUDO
