・ "Keda Ueda: ueda@aaa.co.jp"
・ "BBB Tanaka: tanaka@bbb.co.jp"
・ "BBB Suzuki: suzuki@bbb.co.jp"
Five icons are created.

The solid line arrow 91b is an arrow that connects icons in a sender-receiver relationship, and indicates the strength of the relationship between the icons depending on the thickness. The direction and thickness of the arrow are determined by the combination of the sender mail address 51 and the receiver mail address 52 stored in the transmission information holding area 13. The direction of the arrow is the direction from the icon 91a having a sender mail address to the icon 91a having a receiver mail address, and the thickness increases as the number of cases increases. For example, the combination [sender mail address → recipient mail address] acquired from the transmission information holding area 13 is [yamada@aaa.co.jp→
There are 204 combinations of tanaka@bbb.co.jp], [kimura@aaa.co.jp →
If there are 50 combinations of Suzuki@bbb.co.jp], an arrow from “Masato Yamada: yamada@aaa.co.jp” to “BBB Tanaka: tanaka@bbb.co.jp” Is thicker than the arrow from “Taro Kimura: kimura@aaa.co.jp” to “BBB Suzuki: suzuki@bbb.co.jp”.

A broken-line arrow 91c is an arrow that connects icons with each other by a sender and a carbon copy person, and indicates the strength of the icons depending on the thickness. The direction and thickness of the arrow are determined by the combination of the sender mail address 61 and the carbon copy mail address 62 stored in the carbon copy information holding area 14. The direction of the arrow is the direction from the icon 91a having the sender mail address to the icon 91a having the carbon copy mail address 62, and the thickness increases as the number of cases increases. For example, there are 25 combinations of [yamada@aaa.co.jp → kimura@aaa.co.jp] for the combination [sender email address → carbon copy email address] acquired from the carbon copy information holding area 14 [ If the combination of tanaka@bbb.co.jp → suzuki@bbb.co.jp] is 300, from “BBB Tanaka: tanaka@bbb.co.jp” to “BBB Suzuki: suzuki @ bbb. The arrow to “co.jp” is considerably thicker than the arrow from “Masato Yamada: yamada@aaa.co.jp” to “Taro Kimura: kimura@aaa.co.jp”.

  A group 91d indicates a group of icons. A group is created for each domain 43 in FIG. For example, based on the display example of FIG. 4, when grouping by the domain 43, two groups “aaa.co.jp” and “bbb.co.jp” are obtained. Among them, the email address 41 of the same domain 43 as “aaa.co.jp” is “kimura@aaa.co.jp”, “yamada@aaa.co.jp”, “ueda@aaa.co.jp”, and “bbb Since the mail address 41 of the same domain 43 as “.co.jp” is “tanaka@bbb.co.jp” and “suzuki@bbb.co.jp”, icons 91a are grouped as shown in the display example of FIG. Can be displayed.

  The group name 91e is a column in which the group name of the group 91d is displayed. The group name is determined from the mail address information holding area 12 and the group information holding area 15. In the group information holding area 15, a plurality of group names 72 are stored for each recipient mail address 71, and the most frequently existing group names 72 in the same domain are displayed in the group name 91e. For example, the group name included in the group name 91e from the display examples of FIGS. 4 and 7 is a group name 72 that is a combination destination of all the recipient email addresses 71 that match the email address 41 of the domain “aaa.co.jp”. To get. The acquired group names 72 are “AAA Corporation”, “AAA Corporation”, and “Sales Department”. The number of each is “AAA Co., Ltd.”, 3 cases, “AAA Co., Ltd.” is 1 case, and “Sales Department” is 1 case, so the group name 91e is displayed as “AAA Corporation”. .

  The return button 91f is a button that is pressed to generate a sender / receiver correlation again when the generated sender / receiver correlation is not preferable. When the return button 91f is pressed, the screen returns to the setting screen 80 of FIG.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of display contents of the sender / receiver correlation generation screen 90.
The column 92a is a correlation detail screen displayed when the solid arrow 91b is left-clicked with the mouse.
In the column 92a, the sender and receiver, the number of mails exchanged, the name of the exchanged mails, and the reception date and time are displayed based on the transmission information holding area 13.
For example, when the solid line arrow 91b from “Masato Yamada: yamada@aaa.co.jp” to “BBB Tanaka: tanaka@bbb.co.jp” is pressed, the sender is sent from the transmission information holding area 13 in FIG. All combinations of [subject: received date / time] having the mail address 51 of “yamada@aaa.co.jp” and the recipient mail address of “tanaka@bbb.co.jp” are acquired and displayed in the column 92a. At that time, the number of combinations is acquired and displayed as the number of cases.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an outline of processing according to the present embodiment.
First, the correlation diagram setting program 10 is activated (S001).

The mail analysis program 11 reads one address information from the address data 9 of the mail client 7 (S101).
Next, the mail address and name information in the read address data 9 is acquired (S102).

Next, the following information is acquired as domain information from the acquired email address. For example, if the mail address is “yamada@aaa.co.jp”, the domain information is “@” or less, and therefore “aaa.co.jp” (S103).
Next, the acquired mail address, name, and domain information are stored in the corresponding items of the mail address information holding area 12 (S104).
Next, it is confirmed whether all the address data has been read. If the reading has not been completed, the next one is read (S101). If the reading has been completed, the process proceeds to S201 in FIG. 13 (S105).
After all the address data is stored in the mail address information holding area 12, the mail data 8 is read one by one (S201).

Next, header information is acquired from the acquired mail data 8 (S202).
The sender mail address is confirmed from the acquired header information, and it is confirmed whether there is a match with the excluded mail address 21 stored in the excluded mail address holding area 16 (S203). If there is a matching excluded mail address 21, the process returns to S201 and analysis of the next mail data is started. If there is no match, the process proceeds to S204.
Next, the recipient mail address is confirmed from the header information, and it is confirmed whether or not there is a match with the excluded mail address 21 stored in the excluded mail address holding area 16 (S204). If there is a matching excluded mail address 21, the process returns to S201 and analysis of mail data is started next. If there is no match, the process proceeds to S205.

Next, a sender mail address and a receiver mail address are acquired from the header information (S205). Further, the mail subject, the mail unique ID information, and the reception date and time are acquired from the header information (S206). The acquired sender mail address, receiver mail address, subject, mail unique ID information, and reception date and time are stored in the corresponding items of the transmission information holding area 13 (S207).
Next, one carbon copy mail address is acquired from the acquired one mail data (S208), and it is checked whether there is a match with the excluded mail address 21 stored in the excluded mail address holding area 16. If there is a match, the next carbon copy mail address is acquired (S209). If there is no match, it is confirmed whether the domain of the carbon copy email address and the domain of the sender email address are the same, and if they are different, the next carbon copy email address is acquired (S210). If they are the same, the carbon copy mail address, the sender mail address, and the mail unique ID information of the mail are stored in the corresponding items in the carbon copy information holding area (S211). This is performed for all the carbon copy mail addresses (S212).

Next, text information of the mail is acquired (S213), and five lines are extracted from the top (top line) of the acquired text information (S214). In addition, it is not limited to 5 lines, You may take out the number of lines suitably. The group name information is extracted from the group name candidate holding area 17 (S215), and it is confirmed whether or not there is a line including the group name in the acquired five lines of body information (S216). If there is, the line including the group name is extracted and the line including the recipient mail address and the group name is stored in the group information holding area (S217), and the process proceeds to S218. If not, the process proceeds to S218.
Next, it is confirmed whether all mail data has been read. If it has not been read, the process proceeds to S201. If all mail data has been read, the mail analysis program is terminated (S218).
