In step B12, when the document creating unit 102 determines that the document information is new, the change history creating apparatus of the present invention returns to the processing operation for acquiring input information based on the user input in step B01.
When it is determined in step B12 that the document information is a change that changes the existing document information, the document information created by the document creation unit 102 in step B10 is the document information after the change in which the changed document information is added to the existing document information. It becomes document information. The document creating unit 102 provides the document information after the change to the document storage unit 121. The document creation unit 102 generates creation information based on the existing document information and the changed document information. At this time, the existing document information may be stored in the document storage unit 121 or may be held by the document creation unit 102. The change information creation unit 104 acquires creation information. The change information creation unit 104 generates change information based on the obtained creation information (step B13). The change information creation unit 104 provides the change information to the second association unit 903 and provides the output control information to the change history output control unit 107.

  The second correlating means 903 provides the provided change information to the change information indicated by the currently selected change purpose pointer in the change history storage unit 922. Then, the change information and the change purpose designated by the user are related (step B14). An example of a specific user operation here will be described. The user refers to the change history displayed on the output device 130, selects a change purpose with a mouse or the like included in the input device 110, and then inputs change information to be related with a keyboard or the like. The association is performed by such an operation.

  The change information output control unit 107 acquires a change history in which the change information is associated with the change purpose designated by the user from the change history storage unit 922. The change information output means 107 provides the change history to the output device 130, and the output device 130 displays the change history so that the user can recognize it (step B15). The user can refer to the change history in which the change information and the change purpose are related.

  Steps B30 to B33 according to the second embodiment of the present invention are the same as steps A30 to A33 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, so description thereof will be omitted.

  Similarly to the first embodiment, in step B02, the input control unit 901 inputs input information for document creation, input information for change purpose, input information relating change information and change purpose, and change purpose. If it is determined that the input information is not any of the input information, the function of the present invention is terminated, for example, an instruction to terminate the function of the present invention.

  According to the second embodiment of the present invention, when changing document information is added to existing document information, the change and the reason for the change are input first and further specified, so that the change is stored later. Allows association with information. That is, an operation for linking the change information and the change purpose in the change history becomes unnecessary, which has the effect of making the operation easier when there is a plurality of pieces of change information for one change purpose. .
