Abstract: Disclosed are a document group analyzing apparatus, a document group analyzing method, a document group analyzing system, a program, and a recording medium that identify where business success and failure are branched by separating documents having causal relation between success cases and failure cases, and displaying information for analyzing factors for success and failure. Therein, a document is searched for in a document database by a searching condition, documents, the document database holding a document group having causal relation based on kinds of documents. The document searched for, and documents having causal relation to the document that is searched for are extracted from the document database. The extracted documents having causal relation are divided into groups. Documents belonging to each group are classified by the kinds of the documents.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus displays related information of information displayed in a region when the region is selected from regions displaying predetermined information and is displayed in an enlarged size, and does not display the related information when the selected region is displayed in a reduced size. The apparatus includes a selection unit for selecting the region to be either enlarged or reduced, a display unit for dynamically enlarging or reducing the region selected by the region selection unit, and a control unit for controlling an amount of the related information to be displayed based on an area of the region either enlarged or reduced by the display unit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for interchanging contents information and a system for interchanging contents information. A loop that a receiving side CL1 sends a request signal CL1a carrying position data pd to a sending side SV1 through a communication system NT, the sending side SV1 sends back contents information corresponding thereto as a sending signal SV1a, and the receiving side CL1 displays the signal is repetitively updated and performed at a high frequency by repetitively updating and sending the position data pd at a high frequency. Since the achievable frequency of repetitive updating and performing the loop varies by the combination of receiving side CL1, communication system NT, and sending side SV1, the achievable maximum frequency mxfQ for each loop is determined from a given table or by actual measurement. A standard frequency stfQ which does not exceed the thus determined frequency is set, the processes along the loop are performed at the standard frequency stfQ or a lower frequency.

Abstract: An office information system having a device which provides a user with an operational message of the system is disclosed. In an embodiment of the office information system, a path record storage device stores a plurality of path records related to components of the system, each path record indicating a locating path needed to reach a location of a specific one of the components in the system when a failure related to the specific one of the components occurs. A failure location detecting device detects a location of a component in the system when a failure related to the component occurs. A reached location determining device reads a path record from the path record storage device when the location of the failure is detected, and determines a currently reached location in the system based on the path indicated by the path record.
