The document management application 400 can display the file information of the two folders side by side by the divided display. Further, when the document management application 400 detects that the "split display" button is pressed while the split display is already displayed, the document management application 400 cancels the split display state and returns to the display state as shown in FIG. 5A.

In the example of FIG. 5B, the display is divided, and there are two folder tree display areas 505. Therefore, the document management application 400 does not display the folder path in the address bar 504. However, even in the split display state, when the user explicitly selects a folder in either the upper or lower folder tree display area 505, the document management application 400 sets the folder path of the selected folder to the address bar 504. Display in.
The folder tree display area 505 and the file display area 506 are divided into upper and lower parts and displayed as shown in FIG. 5B by pressing the "split display" button. The file selected in the upper folder tree display area 505 generated by the split operation is displayed in the upper file display area 506 generated by the split operation. The same applies to the lower display area. Further, the document management application 400 moves the file displayed in the upper file display area 506 to the lower file display area 506, or moves the file displayed in the lower file display area 506 to the upper file display area 506. Or it can be copied.

In the example of FIG. 5B, the upper part of the divided display folder tree display area 505 shows a state in which the folder "contract business" is selected. Further, the lower part of the folder tree display area 505 shows a state in which a folder called "shared space" is selected. The shared space is a folder provided by the cloud server device 106. The document management application 400 can place the file on the cloud server device 106 or the like by arranging the file in the shared space. That is, when the user drags the file in the file display area 506 and drops it in the other file display area 506 (shared space), the file is moved or copied from the local folder on the intranet to the storage on the Internet. For example, in the example of FIG. 5B, 2018804010900 in the upper file display area 506. It is assumed that the pdf is dragged and dropped into the lower file display area 506. In this case, the document management application 400 is installed in the cloud server device 106 at 2011804010900. Move or copy pdf.
It does not matter whether the upper file display area 506 or the lower file display area 506 is used as the display area of the local folder or the display area of the common space folder. In the following, the situation shown in FIG. 5 will be described as an example.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of information regarding each tab and button displayed in the tab list 501. The information of FIG. 6 is stored in the storage device 206.
The data 800 shows the tab information displayed in the tab list 501 of FIG. 5A.
The tab list information tag 801 indicates a group of tabs displayed in the tab list 501. That is, the tab group surrounded by the tab list information tag 801 is displayed in the tab list 501.
The tab information tag 802 indicates one tab in the tab list 501. In the example of FIG. 6, it is shown that there are two tabs, "contract business" and "FAX business". Tab list information tag 801 The enclosed tab information tag 802 has an ID element and a name element. The name element 805 of the tab information tag 802 is used as a display name when displaying a tab on the tab list 501. Further, the button information tag 803 managed by the tab information tag 802 indicates information on the button displayed on the tab, and includes an ID element 806, a name element 807, a function element 808, a parameter element 809, and a parameter element 810.

Each of the ID elements 804 and 806 indicates an ID that identifies a tab and a button. In the example of FIG. 6, unique IDs are assigned to each of the two tabs and the seven buttons. When the tab information tag 802 or the button information tag 803 is added, the document management application 400 assigns an ID that does not have the same value as the ID element 806 of the already existing tab information tag 802 or button information tag 803.
The element value 811 is an example of the value of the parameter element 809 when the corresponding name element 807 is security. When the corresponding name element 807 is security, the types of values that the parameter element 809 can take include "encryption", "electronic signature", and the like. When the encryption button of the security setting is created, "encryption" is set in the parameter element 809, and when the button of the electronic signature is created, "ElectronicSignature" is set. Therefore, since the element value 811 in FIG. 6 is "encryption", it can be determined that encryption is set as a security setting.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of processing of the information processing apparatus 100 of the present embodiment. The information processing device 100 starts the process of FIG. 7 when the process corresponding to the pressing of the "document edit" button in the tab list 501 is executed.
The process of FIG. 7 is a shared space from the upper contract business folder to the lower of the folder tree display area 505 of FIG. This is the process when a file is moved or copied to.

In S901, the document management unit 402 indicates whether the instruction from the user received by the input management unit 403 is an instruction to move or copy the file of the selected document (hereinafter referred to as the selected file) to the shared space. Judge whether or not. The selected file is a file to be executed for processing corresponding to a plurality of buttons included in the tab selected from the tab list 501. When the document management unit 402 determines that the instruction from the user received by the input management unit 403 is an instruction to move or copy the selected file to the shared space, the document management unit 402 proceeds to S902. Further, when the document management unit 402 determines that the instruction from the user received by the input management unit 403 is not an instruction to move or copy the selected file to the shared space, the document management unit 402 ends the process of FIG. 7.
In the example of FIG. 5, the document management unit 402 gives an instruction to move "201804010900.pdf" in the "root \ work \ contract work" folder to the shared space during the execution of the process corresponding to the "document edit" button. Determine if it was accepted.

In S902, the document management unit 402 determines whether or not the folder from which the selected file is moved exists in the folder on LAN 103 and the folder to which the selected file is moved exists on LAN 105 via the Internet 104. To do. The folder from which the selected file is moved is a folder in which the selected file to be moved or copied is originally stored. The destination folder for moving the selected file is the folder for moving or copying the selected file.
More specifically, the document management unit 402 compares the IP address of the machine with the source and destination of the selected file with the IP list of the machine on the local network, and determines whether the selected file is a folder on the local network or a folder on the Internet. Is determined. In the example of FIG. 5, the document management unit 402 determines whether the folder of "root \ work \ contract work" from which the selected file is moved is on the intranet or the shared space to which the selected file is moved is on the Internet. Is determined.

When the document management unit 402 determines that the folder from which the selected file is moved exists in the folder on LAN 103 and the destination to which the selected file is moved exists on LAN 105 via the Internet 104, the document management unit 402 proceeds to S903.
Further, when the document management unit 402 determines that the folder from which the selected file is moved does not exist in the folder on the LAN 103, or the destination to which the selected file is moved does not exist on the LAN 105 via the Internet 104, the processing is performed in S910. Proceed to.

In S903, the document management unit 402 determines whether or not there is a security setting process executed after the process being executed (document editing process) in the series of processes corresponding to the tabs selected from the tab list 501. To judge. More specifically, the document management unit 402 has a "security setting" button on the right side of the "document edit" button corresponding to the processing being executed among the buttons displayed in the tab list 501. Is determined. The document management unit 402 refers to the information shown in FIG. 6 in the process of S903.
In the present embodiment, a plurality of buttons corresponding to a series of processes corresponding to the selected tab are arranged in the order of the processes. However, it is assumed that the user does not use the buttons on the tab in the order in which they are arranged. In that case, the document management unit 402 determines whether or not the "security setting" button corresponding to the unexecuted security setting processing exists among the buttons displayed in the tab list 501. As a result, the document management unit 402 determines whether or not the security setting process to be executed after the document editing process being executed exists in the series of processes corresponding to the selected tab.
