Therefore, the module in the present embodiment indicates not only a module in a computer program but also a module in a hardware configuration. Therefore, the present embodiment is a computer program for causing these modules to function (a program for causing a computer to execute each procedure, a program for causing a computer to function as each means, and a function for each computer. This also serves as an explanation of the program and system and method for realizing the above. However, for the sake of explanation, the words “store”, “store”, and equivalents thereof are used. However, when the embodiment is a computer program, these words are stored in a storage device or stored in memory. This means that control is performed so as to be stored in the apparatus. Modules may correspond to functions one-to-one, but in mounting, one module may be configured by one program, or a plurality of modules may be configured by one program, and conversely, one module May be composed of a plurality of programs. The plurality of modules may be executed by one computer, or one module may be executed by a plurality of computers in a distributed or parallel environment. Note that one module may include other modules. Hereinafter, “connection” is used not only for physical connection but also for logical connection (data exchange, instruction, reference relationship between data, etc.). “Predetermined” means that the process is determined before the target process, and not only before the process according to this embodiment starts but also after the process according to this embodiment starts. Also, if it is before the target processing, it is used in accordance with the situation / status at that time or with the intention to be decided according to the status / status up to that point. When there are a plurality of “predetermined values”, they may be different values, or two or more values (of course, including all values) may be the same. In addition, the description having the meaning of “do B when it is A” is used in the meaning of “determine whether or not it is A and do B when it is judged as A”. However, the case where it is not necessary to determine whether or not A is excluded.
In addition, the system or device is configured by connecting a plurality of computers, hardware, devices, and the like by communication means such as a network (including one-to-one correspondence communication connection), etc., and one computer, hardware, device. The case where it implement | achieves by etc. is included. “Apparatus” and “system” are used as synonymous terms. Of course, the “system” does not include a social “mechanism” (social system) that is an artificial arrangement.
In addition, when performing a plurality of processes in each module or in each module, the target information is read from the storage device for each process, and the processing result is written to the storage device after performing the processing. is there. Therefore, description of reading from the storage device before processing and writing to the storage device after processing may be omitted. Here, the storage device may include a hard disk, a RAM (Random Access Memory), an external storage medium, a storage device via a communication line, a register in a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and the like.

  The information processing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment constructs (groups and groups) a parent-child relationship (tree structure) of a plurality of sticky notes. As shown in the example of FIG. A display module 110, a moving sticky note selection module 115, a sticky note moving module 120, a related sticky note processing module 125, and a sticky note information storage module 150. The related tag processing module 125 includes a related tag receiving module 130, a related tag placement module 135, a group processing module 140, and a related tag extraction module 145. Grouping is performed with the act of “pasting” on a mount (also referred to as an electronic white board) as a trigger. More specifically, for example, a first sticky note that is a sticky note to be noted is designated by the operation of the operator, and then the received second sticky note is a child sticky note whose parent is the first sticky note. As a group.

  The information processing apparatus 100 is used in a meeting (workshop, meeting, idea extraction meeting, review meeting, etc.) held by a facilitator (generally one person) and a plurality of participants using a sticky note. Is done. A participant creates a sticky note on which an idea or the like is described using a terminal device (a sticky note information processing device 210 described later) as a participant terminal. Generally, as shown in the example of FIG. 3, as the sticky note information processing apparatus 210, there are a sticky note information processing apparatus 210 </ b> A, a sticky note information processing apparatus 210 </ b> B (hereinafter, representatively referred to as a sticky note information processing apparatus 210). There are a plurality of processing devices 210. The shared sticky note information processing apparatus 200 receives the sticky note from the sticky note information processing apparatus 210 and pastes the sticky note on the mount. The facilitator uses the shared screen, which is a display device of the shared sticky note information processing device 200, to determine or change the position of the sticky note, edit the sticky note, and collect the sticky note (first sticky note). And the second sticky note are associated with each other, and it is also referred to as group formation). In the present embodiment, the participant includes a facilitator.

The sticky note information processing apparatus 210 includes, for example, a touch panel (also referred to as touch screen) type display device and an input device. The sticky note information processing apparatus 210 accepts an operation using a participant's finger, pen, etc., and creates sticky note information. Done. In addition to the touch panel, input using a keyboard or mouse, voice input using a microphone, image input using a camera, or the like may be used. The sticky note only needs to have a data structure capable of managing card-type information. The contents include, for example, text information, vector data indicating handwritten characters, graphics, etc., audio information, still image information such as photographs, video information, etc. Or a combination thereof.
The shared sticky note information processing apparatus 200 pastes a sticky note transmitted from the sticky note information processing apparatus 210 on a mount and displays it, and processes the sticky note. There are facilitators and operators of the shared tag information processing apparatus 200 as persons who instruct the processing for the tag.

The sticky note system configured by the shared sticky note information processing apparatus 200 and the sticky note information processing apparatus 210 improves the efficiency of sticky note creation, pasting work, etc. in the work with a plurality of persons, as compared with the conventional work with paper sticky notes. ing.
On the other hand, with paper sticky notes, it is possible to pick up and discuss noteworthy sticky notes by hand, or to place sticky notes using the conference room as much as possible. On the other hand, a sticky note handled on a display device such as a display has a restriction that a space for handling the sticky note is on a display plane. For this reason, even if an electronically large virtual space is prepared, the number of cases in which the attached sticky note must be moved may be greater than that of paper.
Therefore, in a case where a plurality of sticky notes once arranged are moved together to another place, it is required to implement a function that supports the need not to operate one by one. For example, a function of collecting a plurality of sticky notes into one group is applicable.
However, in that case, since it is necessary to designate the sticky notes belonging to the group as a whole, a predetermined effort is required regardless of whether the number of sticky notes to be moved is small or the moving distance is long.
In the present embodiment, processing related to grouping of sticky notes, display for indicating belonging to the same group, and movement of sticky note groups belonging to the group is performed. More specifically, in the actual discussion, processing such as grouping is performed using the property of having a cycle of creating and arranging related sticky notes after paying attention to a specific sticky note.

The notice tag designating module 105 designates a first tag that is a note to be noticed. The designation here may be designation according to the operation of the operator, or designation according to a predetermined rule (rule). As a predetermined rule, for example, a sticky note pasted on a predetermined area in the mount may be designated as a first sticky note, or a predetermined stage (step, It is also referred to as a mode or the like, and specifically, the sticky note selected by the operation of the operator may be designated as the first sticky note during a period during which a discussion for selecting the sticky note to be noted is performed.
The display module 110 displays a mount and a sticky note on a display device such as a liquid crystal display provided in the information processing apparatus 100. Then, the information processing apparatus 100 displays the relationship between the first tag and the second tag according to the relationship set by the group processing module 140. The display here is a display for indicating that the tag is related and which is a parent and which is a child. For example, a display connecting a first sticky note and a second sticky note with a line is performed, and the line is, for example, an arrow, which is a parent (or a child) Can be determined.

The moving sticky note selection module 115 selects the third sticky note to be moved on the mount according to the operation of the operator. When the selected third sticky note belongs to the group, control is performed so that the related sticky note extraction module 145 extracts the fourth sticky note to be moved together with the third sticky note.
The sticky note moving module 120 moves the third sticky note selected by the moving sticky note selecting module 115 in accordance with the operation of the operator. If the fourth sticky note is extracted by the related sticky note extraction module 145, the fourth sticky note is moved together with the third sticky note.

The related sticky note processing module 125 performs grouping processing on the sticky note group.
The related sticky note receiving module 130 receives a second sticky note related to the first sticky note after the first sticky note specifying module 105 designates the first sticky note. The acceptance of the sticky note here may be to accept a sticky note created by a sticky note processing device (for example, the shared sticky note information processing device 200 or the sticky note information processing device 210) including the information processing device 100. The tag may be received from a tag processing device other than the processing device 100. In addition, the reception as the second sticky note may be a predetermined period after the first sticky note is specified (including immediately after), or the second sticky note may be received by the operator's operation. It may be a period until the end of acceptance of a sticky note is determined, or when a period when no new sticky note is accepted is longer or longer than a predetermined period, acceptance as a second sticky note It may be finished.

The related sticky note placement module 135 determines the placement position of the next second sticky note in accordance with the positional relationship between the first sticky note and the first second sticky note. Then, the display module 110 displays the subsequent second sticky note according to the determined arrangement. Further, the arrangement position may be determined according to a blank situation around the first sticky note (a blank area where a sticky note can be pasted).
The group processing module 140 sets the parent-child relationship between the first tag specified by the focused tag specification module 105 and the second tag received by the related tag reception module 130, thereby setting the first tag. And the second tag are grouped.
The related sticky note extraction module 145 extracts a fourth sticky note that is a descendant of the third sticky note from the sticky notes that have a parent-child relationship with the third sticky note selected by the moving sticky note selection module 115.
Further, the moving sticky note selection module 115 moves the fourth sticky note extracted by the related sticky note extraction module 145 along with the movement of the third sticky note. In addition, in addition to the movement of the sticky note group on the mount, the movement here is a movement between the shared sticky note information processing apparatus 200 and the sticky note information processing apparatus 210, and the sticky note information processing apparatus 210 and other sticky note information processing. Including movement to and from the device 210.

  The sticky note information storage module 150 stores information related to sticky notes used by each module in the information processing apparatus 100. Therefore, each module reads information related to a tag from the tag information storage module 150 and writes the processing result to the tag information storage module 150. The tag information storage module 150 stores, for example, a tag information table 1300. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the data structure of the tag information table 1300. The tag information table 1300 includes a tag ID column 1310, a paste position column 1315, a size column 1320, a creation date column 1325, a creator column 1330, a paste date column 1335, a color column 1340, a frame shape column 1345, and a frame color column 1350. , A line thickness column 1355, an affiliation group column 1360, a selection count column 1365, a connection sticky note number column 1370, a connection sticky note ID column 1375, a connection direction column 1380, a content type column 1390, and a content column 1395. The tag ID column 1310 stores information (tag ID: IDentification) for uniquely identifying a tag in the present embodiment. The pasting position column 1315 stores the position where the tag is pasted. That is, the position on the mount is stored. For example, the coordinates in the XY coordinate system of the mount. Specifically, the position is specified by the display module 110 or the related tag placement module 135. The size column 1320 stores the size of the tag. For example, when the tag to be displayed is a rectangle, the width and height are stored. The creation date / time column 1325 stores the date / time (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, second or less, or a combination thereof) when the tag is created. The creator column 1330 stores the creator (creator ID) of the tag. Or you may memorize | store the information processing apparatus (equipment ID of the shared tag information processing apparatus 200 or the tag information processing apparatus 210) by which the tag was created. The pasting date and time column 1335 stores the date and time when the tag is pasted on the mount. The color column 1340 stores the display color of the tag. The frame line shape column 1345 stores the frame shape (solid line, dotted line, broken line, wavy line, double line, etc.) in the display of the tag. The frame line color column 1350 stores the color of the frame line in the display of the tag. The frame line thickness column 1355 stores the frame line thickness in the display of the tag. The affiliation group column 1360 stores information regarding the group to which the tag belongs. For example, information indicating whether or not the sticky note belongs to a group may be stored. If the sticky note belongs to a group, the group ID and other sticky note IDs belonging to the group (for example, the sticky note) The tag ID) of the tag that becomes the parent of the tag may be stored. The selection number column 1365 stores the number of times that the tag is selected by the operation of the operator. The number of connected sticky notes column 1370 stores the number of sticky notes connected to the sticky note. The next connection sticky note ID column 1375 and the connection direction column 1380 are repeated by that number. The connected sticky note ID column 1375 stores the sticky note ID of the sticky note connected to the sticky note. The connection direction column 1380 stores the connection direction between the tag and the tag in the immediately preceding connection tag ID column 1375. This indicates that the tag (or the tag in the immediately preceding connected tag ID column 1375) is either upstream (being a connection source or parent tag) or downstream (being a connection destination or child tag). It may be information or a tag ID of a tag on the upstream (or downstream). Further, in the case of a non-directional connection (a connection having no parent-child relationship or a state before the parent-child relationship is determined), it may be blank (NULL) or the connection direction column 1380 itself may not be present. The content type column 1390 stores the content type of the tag (text data, vector data indicating handwritten characters or graphics, audio information, still image information such as photographs, moving image information, etc., or information indicating a combination thereof). ing. The content column 1395 stores the content written on the tag. In the state where the sticky note is not pasted on the mount, the pasting position column 1315 or the like may be blank (NULL) or may be a predetermined value (default value).

Thereafter, the participant generates and transmits a new sticky note for the selected sticky note. As the notice tag 502a after the selection, the display form such as thickening the border of the tag 502 before the selection is changed. Here, the operator has an intention to discuss the contents written on the attention tag 502a from now on, and after this selection, the created tag (or the information processing apparatus 100 received) Tag) is related to the focused tag 502a.

In the state shown in the example of FIG. 5C, three sticky notes (related sticky note 522, related sticky note 524, and related sticky note 526) are created from the state shown in the example of FIG. Shows the state. A parent-child relationship is formed with the related sticky note 502a as a parent and the related sticky note 522, the related sticky note 524, and the related sticky note 526 as children. This makes it possible to perform a grouping process according to the operator's intention.
Then, an arrow line is drawn from the noticed sticky note 502a to the related sticky note 522, from the noticed sticky note 502a to the associated sticky note 524, and from the noticed sticky note 502a to the related sticky note 526 (the sticky note to which the arrow is pointing is a child sticky note). With this display, the user can grasp the grouped tag groups and the relationship between the tag groups.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing according to this embodiment.
In step S602, the moving sticky note selection module 115 accepts a sticky note selection operation.
In step S604, the related tag extraction module 145 extracts a tag that has a parent-child relationship with the selected tag.
In step S606, the related tag extraction module 145 extracts a tag that is a descendant of the selected tag. That is, the parent's tag and the brother's tag are not moved.
In step S608, the sticky note moving module 120 moves the descendant sticky notes in accordance with the movement of the selected sticky note.

In step S610, the sticky note moving module 120 determines whether or not to cancel the parent-child relationship between the selected sticky note and the parent sticky note. If so, the process proceeds to step S612. Otherwise, the process ends. (Step S699). As a judgment here, when the operation amount of movement meets a predetermined condition, the parent-child relationship may be canceled. Here, as the “movement operation amount”, the movement distance (the distance from the original position before the movement to the position after the movement, which may be a linear distance or a distance actually moved) Or the speed of movement, acceleration during movement, time taken for movement, pressure, etc., or a combination thereof. Hereinafter, the movement distance will be described as an example. Note that the pressure may be detected by using a touch screen capable of detecting pressure to detect the pressure of a finger or a pen when the tag to be moved (third tag) is selected or moved. In addition, when using pressure, the pressure at the time of selecting the tag to be moved may be used, or a statistical value (average value, maximum value, minimum value, Mode, median, etc.). For example, since it is difficult to apply a predetermined pressure while moving, only the pressure when a tag to be moved is selected may be used.
Further, as “predetermined condition”, it may be used that it is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold. For example, when the moving distance is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, it may be determined to cancel the parent-child relationship. This is because when the amount of movement is large, there are many intentions that the relationship with the parent's tag is lost. In addition, the operation becomes easier as compared with the case where the operation for canceling the parent-child relationship must be performed after the movement. When a combination of a plurality of operation amounts is used as a condition, the conditions of each operation amount may be combined by a logical operation (logical sum, logical product, exclusive logical sum, etc.).
In step S612, the group processing module 140 performs setting for canceling the parent-child relationship between the selected tag and the parent tag.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a processing example according to the present exemplary embodiment. In this example, when a parent's tag is moved, a group of children's tags whose parent is the tag is moved together.
The state shown in the example of FIG. 7A is equivalent to the state shown in the example of FIG. 5C, and the screen 700 has a movement selection tag 702a, a related tag 722, a related tag 724, a related tag 726, and a tag 704. , Sticky note 706, sticky note 708, and sticky note 710 are pasted. Then, with the movement selection tag 702a as a parent, a related tag 722, a related tag 724, and a related tag 726 are grouped as children.
In this state, as an operation for moving the movement selection sticky note 702a, the operation hand 750 selects the movement selection sticky note 702a.
In the state shown in the example of FIG. 7B, when the movement selection sticky note 702a is moved to the right, the relevant sticky note 722 and the related sticky note 724 remain in that state (while maintaining the positional relationship having the parent-child relationship). The related tag 726 also moves.
In the state shown in the example of FIG. 7C, an example in which the movement selection tag 722a is moved from the state shown in the example of FIG. 7B is shown. Since the movement selection sticky note 722a has no child sticky note, only the movement selection sticky note 722a is moved, and the parent related sticky note 702, the sibling related sticky note 724, and the related sticky note 726 are not moved.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. On the screen 800, twelve sticky notes of a sticky note 802, a sticky note 804, a sticky note 806, a sticky note 812, a sticky note 814, a sticky note 816, a sticky note 818, a sticky note 822, a sticky note 824, a sticky note 826, and a sticky note 828 are pasted. Then, the tag 822 is set as a parent, the tag 804, the tag 814, and the tag 824 as children, the tag 824 as a parent, the tag 826 as a child, the tag 826 as a parent, and the tag 828 as a child. . These form one group.
In this state, the sticky note 824 is selected by the operating hand 850 as an operation for moving the sticky note 824.

In the state shown in the example of FIG. 8B, as the sticky note 824 moves, the sticky notes 826 and 828 which are the sticky notes of its descendants are also moved. Since the moving distance is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold, the parent-child relationship between the sticky note 822 and the sticky note 824 is maintained.
In the state shown in the example of FIG. 8C, as the sticky note 824 moves, the sticky notes 826 and 828 that are the sticky notes of its descendants are also moved. However, since the moving distance is longer than a predetermined threshold, the parent-child relationship between the tag 822 and the tag 824 is canceled. Accordingly, here, it is divided into two groups (a group of tag 822, tag 804 and tag 814, a group of tag 824, tag 826 and tag 828).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of processing according to the present embodiment. This is processing related to the placement of sticky notes, and determines the position of the next second sticky note according to the positional relationship between the first sticky note and the first second sticky note. This process is performed by the display module 110.
In step S902, the positions of the parent and child tag are extracted.
In step S904, a pattern of the positional relationship between the parent and child tag is set. The positional relationship pattern will be described later using examples shown in FIGS.
In step S906, a new child tag is accepted.
In step S908, the position of a new tag is set according to the pattern.
In step S910, it is determined whether or not there is a new sticky note. If there is, a return is made to step S906, otherwise the process is terminated (step S999).

FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing example according to the present embodiment.
In the state shown in the example of FIG. 10A, the tag 1002 is pasted on the screen 1000, the tag 1002 is selected as the first tag, and the tag 1004 is pasted as the second tag. This shows that a group having the tag 1002 as a parent and the tag 1004 as a child is formed. The tag 1004 is arranged at a position below the tag 1002. This arrangement may be performed by the operation of the operator, or the arrangement may be performed according to a predetermined rule (for example, it is arranged at a position immediately below the parent tag). Here, the arrangement pattern when the next sticky note is received is the right side of the second sticky note. That is, the layout pattern is a direction that intersects at right angles to a line segment formed by a predetermined position (for example, the center) of the tag 1002 and a predetermined position (for example, the center) of the tag 1004, and has a blank space. A pattern is set in which the next tag is placed in a certain direction.
The state shown in the example of FIG. 10B indicates that the sticky note 1006 and the sticky note 1008 are pasted from the state shown in the example of FIG. A sticky note 1006 is a child of the sticky note 1002. A sticky note 1008 is a child of the sticky note 1002. The sticky note 1006 and the sticky note 1008 are arranged at positions adjacent to the sticky note 1004 in accordance with the arrangement pattern described above.
Of course, when the sticky note 1004 is placed on the right side of the sticky note 1002, the sticky note 1006 and the sticky note 1008 are placed under the sticky note 1004.
In the above example, the positions of the second and third child sticky notes are determined by the arrangement of the parent and first child sticky notes, but the parent, first child and second child sticky notes are determined. It is also possible to use an arrangement pattern for determining the positions of the third and fourth child sticky notes thereafter. Moreover, it is good also as an arrangement | positioning pattern which determines the position of a grandchild's tag (it is a child tag of 1st child's tag) by arrangement | positioning of a tag of a parent and a 1st child.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a processing example according to the present embodiment. The arrangement pattern shown in the example of FIG. 10 shows an example when there is a margin to be arranged. In the example of FIG. 11, the arrangement pattern is set according to the surrounding blank area.
In the state shown in the example of FIG. 11A, a sticky note 1102, a sticky note 1112, a sticky note 1114, a sticky note 1116, and a sticky note 1118 are pasted on the screen 1100, and the sticky note 1102 is selected as the first sticky note. Is pasted as the second tag, indicating that a group having the tag 1102 as a parent and the tag 1106 as a child is formed. However, there is no blank area on the left side and the right side of the sticky note 1106 for attaching a sticky note. Here, the arrangement pattern when the next sticky note is received is under the second sticky note. That is, as an arrangement pattern, a sticky note is pasted in a direction perpendicular to a line segment formed by a predetermined position (eg, the center) of the sticky note 1102 and a predetermined position (eg, the center) of the sticky note 1106. When there is not enough margin to be added, a pattern for arranging the next tag is set under the tag 1106.
The state shown in the example of FIG. 11B indicates that the sticky note 1108 and the sticky note 1110 are pasted from the state shown in the example of FIG. A sticky note 1108 is a child of the sticky note 1102. A sticky note 1110 is a child of the sticky note 1102. Then, the sticky note 1108 and the sticky note 1110 are placed at a position below the sticky note 1106 according to the arrangement pattern described above.
If there is no margin for pasting a sticky note, all the sticky notes in the group may be moved to a position where a margin region exists. In addition, an instruction (an instruction for determining an arrangement position) by an operation of the operator may be obtained.
