For example, the display control unit 20 causes the display unit to display the document. In addition, additional items (additional item data) may be added to the document displayed on the display unit. The additions are, for example, information, character strings, figures, etc. that function as sticky notes for adding comments and the like to the document, and can be said to be annotations given to the document. For example, when an additional item is selected by the user, the display control unit 20 displays information indicating the time when the additional item is selected (for example, date and time information indicating the date and time) in association with the additional item. Display on the department. For example, the control unit 18 has a timekeeping function, and the control unit 18 measures the time (for example, the date and time).

The update unit 22 has a function of updating the time when the additional item is selected to the time when the additional item is confirmed when the additional item is confirmed after the above-mentioned additional item is selected by the user. The display control unit 20 associates the information indicating the time after the update with the additional object and displays it on the display unit.

Hereinafter, the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment will be described in more detail.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit of the UI unit 14. For example, when the document management software is started, the display control unit 20 causes the display unit of the UI unit 14 to display a screen 24 for displaying or editing a document by the document management software.

As an example, the screen 24 has a display area 26, a menu bar 28, and annotation bars 30 and 32. Of course, the configuration of the screen 24 is only an example, and the screen 24 may have another configuration.

The display area 26 is an area in which a document is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the document 34 is displayed in the display area 26. For example, when the user specifies a document to be displayed by operating the UI unit 14, the display control unit 20 displays the document specified by the user in the display area 26. The document may be stored in the information processing device 10 or may be stored in an external device.

The menu bar 28 is an area in which information (for example, an icon, an image, a character string, etc.) for executing various functions of the document management software is displayed. The control unit 18 may register information such as an icon in the menu bar 28 or delete it from the menu bar 28 by an operation by the user.

The annotation bars 30 and 32 are areas in which an addition (annotation) or information (for example, an icon, an image, a character string, etc.) for executing a function for adding the addition to a document is displayed. Specifically, the annotation bar 30 displays sticky notes 36 and 38 as additional items and other additional items (for example, an image). The sticky note 36 is an image having an area to which information is added by the user. For example, a character string may be input by the user on the sticky note 36, or another image may be superimposed on the sticky note 36. Further, the sticky note 36 is an image associated with time information (for example, date and time information representing a date and time), and for example, the date and time information is displayed in the sticky note 36. The sticky note 38 is an image that does not have an area to which information is added by the user.

The annotation bar 32 is an area in which an image representing a stamp as an addition is displayed. For example, an image representing a character string such as "important", "circulation", or "urgent" is displayed on the annotation bar 32.

When the user selects an additional item displayed in the annotation bars 30 and 32 using the UI unit 14 and performs an operation of extracting the additional item from the annotation bars 30 and 32, the display control unit 20 performs the operation. According to, the additions specified by the user are taken out from the annotation bars 30 and 32 and displayed in the display area 26. When the user performs an operation to move the additional object using the UI unit 14, the display control unit 20 moves the additional object in the display area 26 according to the operation. When the user performs an operation of determining the arrangement of the additional object using the UI unit 14, the display control unit 20 arranges the additional object at a position designated by the user according to the operation. This will definitively attach the addition to the document. That is, unless the user reselects and manipulates the addition, the addition is placed in that position and remains in that state.

The control unit 18 may register the additions in the annotation bars 30 and 32 or delete them from the annotation bars 30 and 32 by the operation by the user. For example, an image representing a stamp may be superimposed on the sticky note 36 by a user operation, and an addition in that state may be added to the annotation bars 30 and 32. In this case, when the addition is selected by the user and placed on the document 34, the sticky note 36 in which the image representing the stamp is superimposed is placed on the document 34.

Hereinafter, the operation of the information processing apparatus 10 according to the first embodiment will be described in detail. In the following, it is assumed that the sticky note 36 as an additional item is operated by the user.

The screen 24 is shown in FIG. For example, when the user selects the sticky note 36 displayed in the annotation bar 30 using the UI unit 14 and performs an operation of taking out the sticky note 36 from the annotation bar 30 as shown by the arrow 40, the display control unit 20 Takes out the sticky note 36 from the annotation bar 30 and displays it in the display area 26 according to the operation. The sticky note 42 is an image thus taken out. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the sticky note 42 is moved to the top of the document 34 by the operation of the user, and the sticky note 42 is displayed at the moving destination. For example, when the user selects the sticky note 36 with the mouse and operates the mouse, the sticky note 42 is displayed on the document 34. When a touch panel type display unit is used, the above selection and movement may be performed by an operation on the screen 24. Further, the above operation may be performed by voice. While the operation of confirming the sticky note 42 (the operation of attaching the sticky note 42 to the document 34) is not performed by the user, the display control unit 20 is indefinite in the arrangement position of the sticky note 42, and the user moves the sticky note 42. The display of the sticky note 42 may be controlled so that the user can recognize that the operation is possible. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the display control unit 20 displays the sticky note 42 in the display area 26 in a semi-transparent state. The semi-transparent display gives the impression that the afterimage of the sticky note 42 is displayed, so it can be said to be a ghost display. Of course, the display control unit 20 may display the sticky note 42 in the display area 26 in an opaque state instead of a semi-transparent state. Further, the display control unit 20 may blink the sticky note 42 or display the edge of the sticky note 42 in a specific color as a display method other than the above.

The operation of confirming the sticky note 42 (the operation of attaching the sticky note 42 to the document 34) is, for example, an operation of clicking the mouse when the mouse is used as the operation unit, or an operation of clicking the mouse when the touch panel is used. An operation of releasing an indicator such as a user's finger or a stylus from the screen 24, an instruction of confirmation by voice when voice recognition is used, and the like. The operation of fixing the sticky note 42 may be predetermined or may be changed by the user.

Hereinafter, the sticky note 42 before the confirmation operation is performed, that is, the sticky note 42 before being attached to the document 34 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is an enlarged view of a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 42 shown in FIG. The sticky note 42 is an image associated with the date and time information, and the date and time information is displayed in the sticky note 42. The display control unit 20 causes the sticky note 42 to display information indicating the date and time when the sticky note 36 is selected by the user in the annotation bar 30. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the character string "2017/09/04 10:41:21 AM" is displayed in the sticky note 42. That is, at this date and time, the sticky note 36 is selected by the user in the annotation bar 30. By performing such a display, the date and time when the sticky note 36 is selected by the user is presented to the user.

Hereinafter, the case where the confirmation operation is performed will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows the screen 24. When a confirmation operation (an operation of attaching the sticky note 42 to the document 34) is performed on the sticky note 42 (the sticky note 42 before the confirmation operation is performed) during the ghost display by the user, the display control unit 20 displays FIG. As shown in the above, the sticky note 44 after the confirmation (the sticky note after being changed from the sticky note 42 by the confirmation operation) is displayed in the display area 26. As a result, the sticky note 44 is definitively attached to the document 34. That is, unless the user selects and operates the sticky note 44 again (for example, a move operation), the sticky note 44 is arranged at that position and the state is maintained. For example, the display control unit 20 displays the sticky note 44 in the display area 26 in an opaque state. Of course, the display control unit 20 may display the sticky note 44 in the display area 26 in a semi-transparent state based on the instruction or setting of the user.

The document 34 includes one or more pages. The sticky note 42 may be moved within the same page, or the sticky note 42 displayed on a certain page may be moved to another page and displayed on the other page. When the confirmation operation is performed on the destination page, the sticky note 44 is attached to that page.

Hereinafter, the sticky note 44 after the confirmation operation is performed, that is, the sticky note 44 after being attached to the document 34 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 44 shown in FIG. Information (eg, strings, images, and other additions) is added by the user within the sticky note 44. In the state before the information is added to the sticky note 44, for example, the character string "Please enter the character string here" is displayed in the sticky note 44. In addition, such a character string may be displayed also in the sticky note 42 before the confirmation operation. After the sticky note 44 is confirmed (after being attached to the document 34), the user operates the UI unit 14 to edit the fixed sticky note 44. The control unit 18 accepts an editing operation by the user and edits the sticky note 44. For example, inputting a character string in the sticky note 44, editing a character string, deleting a character string, adding an image, deleting an image, adding another addition (annotation), deleting another addition, etc. It is said.

The sticky note 44 is an image associated with the date and time information, and the date and time information is displayed in the sticky note 44. When the confirmation operation is performed on the sticky note 42 before the confirmation operation, the update unit 22 updates the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 42 to the information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation was performed. The display control unit 20 displays the updated date and time information (information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation was performed) in the sticky note 44 after the confirmation operation. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the character string "2017/09/04 10:42:44 AM" is displayed in the sticky note 44. That is, at this date and time, the confirmation operation is performed on the sticky note 42. By updating the date and time information in this way, the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed on the sticky note 42, that is, the date and time when the sticky note 42 (sticky note 44) is attached to the document 34 is presented to the user.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the date and time when the sticky note is operated is presented to the user.

For example, by displaying the date and time when the sticky note 36 is selected on the annotation bar 30, the date and time when the selection operation is performed is presented to the user. By doing so, when the sticky note 36 is selected by the user, the sticky note is added to the document in a state where the information indicating the date and time when the sticky note was selected in the past (past date and time information) is maintained without being updated. It becomes difficult to give the user the impression that it will be added.

Further, by displaying the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed, the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed is presented to the user. By doing so, the time difference between the time when the selection operation of the sticky note 36 is performed and the time when the confirmation operation is performed is corrected, and the date and time when the confirmation operation is actually performed is presented to the user. Further, the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed is recorded on the sticky note 44. For example, the longer the time from the time when the selection operation of the sticky note 36 is performed to the time when the confirmation operation is performed, the larger the time difference (time lag) becomes. If the user is wondering where to put the sticky note, it is assumed that such a situation will occur. According to the first embodiment, even in such a case, the time difference is eliminated, and the date and time when the confirmation operation is actually performed is displayed in the sticky note 44 after the confirmation operation.

Note that the update unit 22 sets the date and time displayed in the sticky note 42 before the confirmation operation as the current date and time according to the elapsed time from the selection of the sticky note 36 in the annotation bar 30 until the confirmation operation is performed. May be updated to. That is, the update unit 22 may update the date and time even when the sticky note 42 is displaying the ghost. The display control unit 20 causes the sticky note 42 to display information indicating the date and time (current date and time) after the update by the update unit 22. By doing so, it becomes difficult to give the user the impression that the sticky note is added to the document in a state where the information indicating the selected date and time of the sticky note 36 is maintained without being updated.

Of course, the update unit 22 may maintain the information indicating the date and time when the sticky note 36 is selected in the annotation bar 30 without updating the date and time during the ghost display.

The sticky notes may be continuously attached to the document 34. Hereinafter, this process (continuous pasting process) will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 shows the screen 24. When the user instructs the execution of the sticky note continuous sticking function by using the UI unit 14, the control unit 18 executes the continuous sticking function. For example, the sticky note 36 is selected from the annotation bar 30, a confirmation operation is performed, and the sticky note 44 is attached to the document 34. As a result, the control unit 18 accepts the user's editing operation on the sticky note 44 and edits the sticky note 44. Even when the continuous pasting function is executed, the display control unit 20 displays information indicating the date and time when the sticky note 36 is selected on the annotation bar 30 in the sticky note 42 being displayed as a ghost. Then, when the confirmation operation is performed on the sticky note 42, the update unit 22 updates the date and time information to information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed, and the display control unit 20 updates the updated date and time information. Is displayed in the sticky note 44 after the confirmation operation. While the continuous sticking function is being executed, the display control unit 20 causes the display control unit 20 to display a new sticky note 42 before the confirmation operation on the screen 24 after the sticky note 44 is stuck to the document 34. That is, the state in which the continuous sticking function is executed is the state in which the sticky note 36 in the annotation bar 30 is continuously selected, and after a certain sticky note 44 is confirmed, the display control unit 20 sets the next sticky note. 42 is displayed in the display area 26. The next sticky note 42 is displayed as a ghost and is moved within the display area 26 by the user's operation. When the confirmation operation is performed on the next sticky note 42, the new sticky note 44 after the confirmation operation is displayed at the position where the confirmation operation is performed. In this case, the update unit 22 updates the date and time information to information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed, and the display control unit 20 displays the updated date and time information in the new sticky note 44. The display control unit 20 displays the next sticky note 42 in the display area 26 until the continuous sticking function is canceled according to the user's instruction.

Even when the continuous sticking function is executed, as described above, the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed is specified for each sticky note 42, and the information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation is actually performed is displayed for each sticky note 42. It is displayed in the sticky note 44. The more sticky notes are stuck continuously by executing the continuous sticking function, from the time when the sticky note 36 is selected on the annotation bar 30 until the latest sticky note 42 is confirmed. The time difference (time lag) between them becomes large. According to the first embodiment, for each sticky note 44, information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation was actually performed is displayed in the sticky note 44, so that the time difference is eliminated in each sticky note 44. NS.

While the continuous pasting function is being executed, the update unit 22 may update the date and time displayed in the sticky note 42 (the sticky note 42 in the ghost display) before the confirmation operation to the current date and time according to the elapsed time. The display control unit 20 displays information indicating the date and time (current date and time) after the update by the update unit 22 in the sticky note 42 during the ghost display. In the example shown in FIG. 7, information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation of the sticky note 44 is performed is displayed in the sticky note 44, and information indicating the current date and time is displayed in the sticky note 42. By doing so, it becomes difficult to give the user the impression that the sticky note is added to the document in a state where the information indicating the selected date and time of the sticky note 36 is maintained without being updated.

Of course, the update unit 22 may maintain the date and time when the sticky note 36 is selected in the annotation bar 30 without updating the date and time during the ghost display.

The date and time displayed on the sticky note may be the current date and time (for example, the date and time represented by the Christian era or the year), or the elapsed time from a predetermined reference time (elapsed date and time). It may be. For example, when 0:00:00 on January 1, 2000 is set as the reference time, the difference between the reference time and the current date and time is displayed as the elapsed time. The reference time point may be changed by the user. In addition, either the current date and time or the elapsed time may be selected by the user as the date and time displayed in the sticky note.

Further, the time displayed in the sticky note may be the date and time (date and time), may be only the date, may be only the time, or may include the day of the week.

Further, the date and time information (date and time information at the time of selection operation, date and time information at the time of confirmation operation) associated with the sticky note may be displayed by being associated with the sticky note outside the frame of the sticky note without being displayed in the sticky note. The same applies to the following second and third embodiments.

<Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information processing device according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, when the first operation is performed on an additional object (for example, a sticky note) added to the document, the display control unit 20 adds information indicating the time when the first operation is performed. When the second operation is performed on the additional object by associating it with an object and displaying it on the display unit, the information indicating the time when the second operation is performed is not displayed on the display unit. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described in detail.

When the user performs the first operation on the sticky note (for example, the sticky note 44 shown in FIG. 7) for which the confirmation operation has been performed, the update unit 22 first obtains the date and time information associated with the sticky note. Update the information to indicate the date and time when the operation was performed. That is, the update unit 22 updates the date and time when the confirmation operation is performed on the sticky note to the date and time when the first operation is performed on the sticky note. The display control unit 20 associates the updated date and time information with the sticky note and displays it on the display unit. The date and time when the first operation is performed may be the start date and time of the first operation or the end date and time.

On the other hand, when the user performs a second operation on the sticky note (for example, sticky note 44) for which the confirmation operation has been performed, the update unit 22 does not update the date and time information associated with the sticky note, but the date and time information. To maintain. The display control unit 20 associates information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation was performed with the sticky note and displays it on the display unit.

The first operation is, for example, an operation that involves changing the display content in the sticky note. Specifically, the first operation is to edit a part or all of the character string (text) displayed in the sticky note, add or delete another addition (annotation) in the sticky note, and font the character string. Change, change the character size, delete all character strings, etc.

The second operation is, for example, an operation that does not involve changing the display content in the sticky note. Specifically, the second operation involves changing at least one of the position, shape, size, and color of the sticky note on the document.

Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described in more detail with reference to specific examples.

FIG. 8 shows a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 46 displayed on the screen 24. The sticky note 46 is a sticky note for which a confirmation operation has been performed by the user, and is attached to the document 34. Similar to the first embodiment described above, information indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation was performed is displayed in the sticky note 46. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the character string "2017/09/15 03:10: 00 PM" is displayed in the sticky note 46 as date and time information. At this date and time, a confirmation operation is performed on the sticky note 46, and the sticky note 46 is attached to the document 34.

FIG. 9 shows a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 48. The sticky note 48 is a sticky note in a state after the user writes a character string in the sticky note 46 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the character string "Please correct the e-mail address has changed." Is written by the user, and the character string is displayed in the sticky note 48. Since this writing operation involves changing the display content in the sticky note, it corresponds to the first operation. Therefore, the updating unit 22 updates the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 46 before the first operation is performed to the information indicating the date and time when the writing operation is performed. The display control unit 20 displays the updated date and time information in the sticky note 48 after the first operation is performed. For example, if the date and time when the write operation was performed was 3:15:30 pm on September 15, 2017, the character string "2017/09/15 03:10" indicating the date and time when the confirmation operation was performed ": 00 PM" is updated to the character string "2017/09/15 03:15:30 PM" indicating the date and time when the writing operation was performed, and the character string indicating the updated date and time is displayed in the sticky note 48. .. The date and time when the writing operation is performed may be the start date and time of the writing operation or the end date and time.

FIG. 10 shows a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 50. The sticky note 50 is a sticky note in a state after the user adds a character string in the sticky note 48 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 10, in addition to the character string written in the sticky note 48 shown in FIG. 9, as an additional note, the character string "When completed, please hand this material to the director for approval." It is written by the user and the character string is displayed in the sticky note 50. This additional operation corresponds to the first operation because it involves changing the display content in the sticky note. Therefore, the update unit 22 updates the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 48 before the addition operation is performed to the information indicating the date and time when the addition operation is performed. The display control unit 20 displays the updated date and time information in the sticky note 50 after the addition operation. For example, if the date and time when the append operation was performed was 4:20:50 pm on September 15, 2017, the character string "2017/09/15 03:15" indicating the date and time when the write operation was performed ": 30 PM" is updated to the character string "2017/09/15 04:20:50 PM" indicating the date and time when the addition operation was performed, and the character string indicating the updated date and time is displayed in the sticky note 50. ..

FIG. 11 shows a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 52. The sticky note 52 is a sticky note in a state after the user performs a second operation on the sticky note 50 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the shape, color, and position of the sticky note 50 shown in FIG. 10 are changed, and the changed sticky note 52 is attached to the document 34. Since this change operation does not involve changing the display content in the sticky note, it corresponds to the second operation. Therefore, the update unit 22 does not update the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 50 before the change. The display control unit 20 causes the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 50 to be displayed in the sticky note 52 after the change operation.

As described above, according to the second embodiment, the display of the time information associated with the sticky note is controlled according to the user's operation on the sticky note added to the document.

For example, when the first operation involving the change of the display contents in the sticky note is performed, the date and time information displayed in the sticky note is updated to the information indicating the date and time when the first operation is performed. The date and time when the content change was made is presented to the user. By doing so, it becomes easier for the user to know when the information in the sticky note has been changed, as compared with the case where the date and time information is not updated even when the first operation is performed. Further, even if an operation is performed on the sticky note, if the operation corresponds to the second operation that does not involve changing the display content in the sticky note, the date and time information displayed in the sticky note is The information indicating the date and time when the second operation was performed is not updated. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the date and time information from being updated even when an operation that does not involve changing the displayed contents is performed. By performing the above control, if the displayed content is changed, the date and time when the change was made is recorded on the sticky note, and if not, the date and time information is not updated. Therefore, for example, the display content is changed. This is convenient when managing history.

Other additions (annotations) may be added on the sticky note. This process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 shows a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 54. The sticky note 54 is a sticky note in a state after the user has added other additions to the sticky note 52 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 12, in addition to the character string written on the sticky note 52, a stamp image 56 (an image representing the character string “done”) is added by the user as another addition, and the stamp image 56 is in the sticky note 54. It is displayed in. Since this additional operation involves changing the display content in the sticky note, it corresponds to the first operation. Therefore, the update unit 22 updates the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 52 before the additional operation is performed to the information indicating the date and time when the additional operation is performed. The display control unit 20 displays the updated date and time information in the sticky note 54 after the additional operation. For example, if the date and time when the additional operation was performed was 2:30:54 pm on September 16, 2017, the character string "2017/09 /" indicating the date and time when the additional operation was performed on the sticky note. "15 04:20:50 PM" is updated to the character string "2017/09/16 02:30:54 PM" indicating the date and time when the additional operation of the stamp image 56 was performed, and the character string indicating the updated date and time. Is displayed in the sticky note 54.

When the first operation is performed on the sticky note, the display control unit 20 displays the information indicating the date and time when the first operation is performed in the sticky note without changing the date and time information displayed in the sticky note. It may be added to and displayed. This process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 shows a portion of document 34 and a sticky note 58. The sticky note 58 is a sticky note in a state after the user adds a character string in the sticky note 48 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 13, in addition to the character string written on the sticky note 48, the character string "When completed, please hand this material to the manager for approval" is written by the user, and the character string is added. Is displayed in the sticky note 58. This additional operation corresponds to the first operation because it involves changing the display content in the sticky note. In this case, the update unit 22 did not update the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 48 to the information indicating the date and time when the addition operation was performed, and the display control unit 20 performed the addition operation. Information indicating the date and time is added and displayed in the sticky note 58 after the addition operation. That is, the display control unit 20 displays both the information indicating the date and time of the writing operation before the writing operation and the information indicating the date and time when the writing operation was performed in the sticky note 58.

For example, if the date and time when the append operation was performed was 4:20:50 pm on September 15, 2017, the character string "2017/09/15 03:15" indicating the date and time when the write operation was performed ": 30 PM" and the character string "2017/09/15 04:20:50 PM" indicating the date and time when the additional operation was performed are both displayed in the sticky note 58. More specifically, for each first operation, information indicating the date and time when the first operation is performed is displayed in association with the character string added in the sticky note by the first operation. For example, in the character string "Please correct the email address has changed.", The character string "2017/09/15 03:15:30 PM" indicating the date and time when the character string was added to the sticky note is included. It is displayed with a link. Similarly, in the character string "When completed, please hand this material to the director for approval.", The character string "2017/09/15 04:20" indicating the date and time when the character string was added to the sticky note. : 50 PM "is displayed in association with it.

As described above, by adding and displaying the information indicating the date and time when the new first operation was performed in the sticky note without updating the date and time information, the information indicating the date and time when each first operation was performed is displayed. Is displayed.

When the first operation is performed on the sticky note, the update unit 22 does not update the information indicating the date and time when the sticky note was added to the document 34, and the display control unit 20 does not update the information indicating that the sticky note is added to the document 34. Information indicating the date and time added to the sticky note and information indicating the date and time when the first operation was performed may be displayed in the sticky note.

When the first operation is performed on the sticky note, the display control unit 20 displays the information indicating the date and time when the first operation is performed in the sticky note separately from other information displayed in the sticky note. You may let me. This process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 shows a part of the document 34 and the sticky note 60. The sticky note 60 is a sticky note (sticky note after the first operation is performed) in a state after the user adds a character string to the sticky note 48 shown in FIG. The date and time information displayed in the sticky note 60 is the updated date and time information, and indicates the time when the character string is added to the sticky note (the time when the first operation is performed). For example, the display control unit 20 may display the updated date and time information in a specific color (for example, red), may display it using a specific font, or may use italics, an underline, or the like. It may be displayed. By doing so, the user can recognize that the date and time information has been updated. Specific colors, specific fonts, and the presence or absence of italics and underlines may be predetermined or may be changed by the user. Further, the display control unit 20 may display the date and time information after the update in the sticky note in a display mode different from the date and time information before the update (for example, display color, font type, presence or absence of italics and underline, etc.). .. For example, the display control unit 20 may change the display mode of the date and time information each time the first operation is performed on the sticky note.

Hereinafter, other examples of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 shows a document 34 and a sticky note. The sticky note 62 is a sticky note added to the document 34. A character string is written by the user in the sticky note 62, and information indicating the date and time when the character string is written is displayed. For example, it is assumed that the sticky note 62 is moved on the document 34 in the direction indicated by the arrow 64 by the operation of the user. The sticky note 62a is the sticky note 62 after the movement. The operation of moving the sticky note corresponds to the second operation. Therefore, the update unit 22 does not update the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 62. The date and time information displayed in the sticky note 62a is the same as the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 62 before the movement. Further, when the sticky note 62a is generated by copying the sticky note 62 (when a so-called copy and paste operation is performed), the update unit 22 does not update the date and time information because the operation corresponds to the second operation. .. The same applies when the shape, size, or color of the sticky note 62 is changed by the user, such a change operation corresponds to the second operation, and the update unit 22 does not update the date and time information.

When the second operation is performed when the sticky note contains specific information, the update unit 22 updates the date and time information displayed in the sticky note to information indicating the date and time when the second operation was performed. You may. On the other hand, when the second operation is performed when the sticky note does not contain specific information, the update unit 22 changes the date and time information displayed in the sticky note into information indicating the date and time when the second operation is performed. You don't have to update. The specific information is, for example, predetermined information. The specific information may be information set by the user. Hereinafter, this process will be described with reference to specific examples.

Sticky note 66 is a sticky note added to the document 34. A stamp image added by the user (for example, an image representing the character string "important") is displayed in the sticky note 66. This stamp image corresponds to an example of specific information. For example, it is assumed that the sticky note 66 is moved on the document 34 in the direction indicated by the arrow 68 by the operation of the user. The sticky note 66a is the sticky note 66 after the movement. The operation of moving the sticky note corresponds to the second operation, but since the stamp image as specific information is displayed in the sticky note 66, the update unit 22 moves the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 66. Update the information to indicate the date and time when the operation was performed. Information indicating the date and time when the movement operation was performed is displayed in the sticky note 66a. Further, when the sticky note 66a is generated by copying the sticky note 66, the operation corresponds to the second operation, but the update unit 22 performs the operation with the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 66. Update to information indicating the date and time of the sticky note. Information indicating the date and time when the copy and paste operation was performed is displayed in the sticky note 66a. Further, even when the sticky note 66 is moved to another page in the document 34 by the user's operation as shown by the arrow 70, the update unit 22 obtains the date and time information displayed in the sticky note 66. Update the information to indicate the date and time when the move operation was performed. The same applies when a copy and paste operation is performed. The sticky note 68b is the sticky note 66 after the movement. The same applies when the shape, size, or color of the sticky note 66 is changed by the user, and when such a change operation is performed on the sticky note 66 containing the specific information, the update unit 22 updates the date and time information. do.

As described above, when the second operation is performed on the sticky note containing the specific information, the second operation can be performed by updating the date and time information to the information indicating the date and time when the second operation was performed. Information indicating the date and time of the event is presented to the user. When the second operation is performed, it may be convenient for the user to update the date and time information to the information indicating the date and time when the second operation is performed according to the information displayed in the sticky note. .. For example, if the sticky note contains a stamp image representing the character strings "important", "done", "caution", etc., the date and time when the sticky note was moved and a copy of the sticky note are generated and attached to the document. Presenting the date and time to the user may be more convenient for the user than not updating the date and time information. That is, depending on the information displayed in the sticky note, the date and time at the time of the move operation or the copy operation may have an important meaning for the user. By controlling the display as described above, when a specific condition is satisfied (specifically, when the specific information is included in the sticky note), the date and time when the second operation is performed is presented to the user.

Information other than the specific stamp image may be treated as specific information. For example, if a specific character string (for example, a character string indicating "important", "done", "caution", etc.) is treated as specific information and such a character string is written in a sticky note, the date and time information is , The information indicating the date and time when the second operation was performed may be updated.

Of course, when the first operation is performed on the sticky note, the date and time information displayed in the sticky note is updated to the information indicating the date and time when the first operation is performed.

As another embodiment, the first operation is an operation of moving the sticky note from the page to which the sticky note is added to another page, and the second operation is the operation of moving the sticky note in the page to which the sticky note is added. It may be an operation of moving with. That is, when the sticky note is moved within the same page, the update unit 22 displays the date and time information when the sticky note is moved to another page without updating the date and time information displayed in the sticky note. The information may be updated to indicate the date and time when the move operation was performed. Similarly, when the sticky note is copied and pasted on the same page, the update unit 22 transfers the date and time information when the sticky note is copied and pasted on another page without updating the date and time information. It may be updated with information indicating the date and time when the copy and paste operation was performed. Whether or not the date and time information is updated may be set by the user.

The contents of the first operation and the second operation may be set by the user. Hereinafter, the setting operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 shows a setting screen 72 for the user to make the setting. The display control unit 20 causes the setting screen 72 to be displayed on the display unit of the UI unit 14 according to the display instruction of the user. The setting screen 72 shows the operations performed on the sticky note by the user, and each operation is classified into a first operation or a second operation depending on the user. For example, a check column is displayed in association with each operation. The control unit 18 registers the operation in which the check column is checked by the user as the first operation, and registers the unchecked operation as the second operation. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the operation of "updating the text (character string) in the sticky note" and the operation of "adding XXX (for example, annotation) in the sticky note" are specified by the user as the first operation. On the other hand, the operation of "delete XXX from the sticky note" is specified by the user as the second operation. The update unit 22 updates the date and time information according to the conditions set on the setting screen 72. For example, when the text in the sticky note is updated, the update unit 22 recognizes the update operation as the first operation and updates the date and time information. On the other hand, when the annotation XXX is deleted from the sticky note, the update unit 22 recognizes the deletion operation as the second operation and does not update the date and time information.

The update unit 22 may update the date and time information when at least one of the plurality of first operations specified by the user is executed, or all of the plurality of first operations. The date and time information may be updated when the operation is performed. Such conditions may also be set by the user.

Further, when all the texts (character strings) in the sticky note are updated, that is, when all the texts in the sticky note are deleted and another text is written in the sticky note, the update unit 22 provides the date and time information. The information may be updated to indicate the date and time when the update was performed. The update unit 22 does not have to update the date and time information when a part of the text in the sticky note is updated.

Further, the first operation may be a combination of a plurality of predetermined individual operations. For example, when a combination of a text (character string) editing operation and a specific annotation addition operation is defined as the first operation, and the editing operation and the addition operation are performed on the sticky note, the update is performed. The unit 22 updates the date and time information with information indicating the date and time when the editing operation or the adding operation is performed. For example, when another operation included in the combination is executed within a predetermined time limit from the execution date and time of the first executed operation, the update unit 22 provides the date and time information with the execution date and time of the first operation. Or the information indicating the execution date and time of the last operation may be updated. Explaining with the above example, when the additional operation is executed within the time limit from the date and time when the edit operation is performed, the update unit 22 provides the date and time information and the information indicating the date and time when the edit operation or the additional operation is performed. Update to. The same applies when the add operation is executed first and the edit operation is executed later. If all the operations included in the combination are not performed within the time limit, the update unit 22 may not update the date and time information, or may update the date and time information for each operation.

<Third Embodiment>
Hereinafter, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 17 shows an example of the information processing apparatus 10A according to the third embodiment. The information processing device 10A has a communication unit 12, a UI unit 14, and a storage unit 16 as in the information processing device 10 according to the first embodiment. Since these have the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, their description will be omitted. The information processing device 10A includes a control unit 18A instead of the control unit 18 included in the information processing device 10. The control unit 18A includes a display control unit 20, an update unit 22, and a conversion unit 74. The display control unit 20 and the update unit 22 have the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the conversion unit 74 will be mainly described.

Based on the relationship between the first place where the operation of the addition to the document is performed and the second place where the display of the document is performed, the conversion unit 74 places the addition at the first place. It has a function to convert the operated time. The display control unit 20 links the information indicating the time after the conversion to the additional object and displays it on the display unit of the UI unit 14. Additions are, for example, sticky notes. The operation of the addition is, for example, an operation of adding the addition to the document, a first operation and a second operation in the second embodiment, and the like. The first place and the second place are, for example, a country or a region.

The conversion unit 74 may execute the time difference correction mode, the code assignment mode, or both modes. The time difference correction mode is a function for correcting the time difference between the first place and the second place (a function corresponding to the first function). The code assignment mode is a function of adding information indicating the first location to the date and time information (a function corresponding to the second function).

In the time difference correction mode, the conversion unit 74 calculates the time after conversion by correcting the time difference between the first place and the second place. That is, the conversion unit 74 calculates the time after conversion by reflecting the time difference between the first place and the second place in the time before conversion. For example, in the information processing device 10A in which the sticker operation (for example, pasting operation, first operation, second operation, etc.) is performed on the document, the control unit 18 determines the local date and time (the sticker operation is performed) when the sticker is operated. Information (local date and time information) indicating the date and time at the first place (country, region, etc.) where the information processing device 10A is installed, and information indicating the first place where the information processing device 10A is installed. (1st place information) is added to the sticker data. In the information processing device 10A for displaying the document, the conversion unit 74 refers to the local date / time information and the first place information added to the sticker data, and the information processing device 10A for displaying the document is installed. By reflecting the time difference between the two places and the first place indicated by the first place information in the local date and time (date and time before conversion) indicated by the local date and time information, the date and time after conversion is corrected. Is calculated. For example, when the first place is Japan (JP) and the second place is the eastern part of the United States (US), the conversion unit 74 of the information processing apparatus 10A installed in the eastern part is the eastern part of Japan and the United States of America. By reflecting the time difference between the two in the local date and time information (date and time information based on the date and time in Japan), the converted date and time (date and time information based on the date and time in the eastern United States) with the time difference corrected is calculated. do. Information indicating the time difference between each place (time difference between countries, time difference between regions, time difference between countries and regions) may be stored in the storage unit 16 of the information processing device 10A. Alternatively, it may be acquired by the control unit 18 from an external device such as a server by using the Internet or the like.

Information indicating the location (country, region, etc.) where the information processing device 10A is installed is input by, for example, a user. As another example, the control unit 18 may specify the location where the information processing device 10 is installed based on the position information acquired by using the GPS (Global Positioning System) function. For example, when installing the document management software on the information processing device 10A, or at a timing thereafter, the user may input information indicating the location where the information processing device 10A is installed, or based on the location information. The location may be specified. The information indicating the location is stored in the storage unit 16. In the information processing device 10A installed in the first place, information indicating the first place (first place information) is added to the sticky note data.

Further, in the information processing device 10A in which the sticky note is operated, the local date and time information and the information (reference time information) indicating the reference time (for example, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), etc.) are provided. It may be added to the sticky note data. In the information processing device 10A for displaying a document, even if the conversion unit 74 calculates the converted date and time with the time difference corrected by referring to the local date and time information and the reference time information added to the sticky note data. good.

The display control unit 20 links the information indicating the date and time after conversion with the corrected time difference to the sticky note as information indicating the time after conversion, and displays it on the display unit of the UI unit 14.

In the code assignment mode, the control unit 18 of the information processing device 10A installed in the first place adds the first place information to the data of the sticky note attached to the document. The conversion unit 74 of the information processing device 10A installed in the second place operates the sticky note by referring to the first place information added to the sticky note data attached to the document to be displayed. Identify the first location that was lost. Next, the conversion unit 74 adds information indicating the first location (for example, a country code, a region name code, etc.) to the date and time information (local date and time information before conversion) displayed in the sticky note. The display control unit 20 links the information including the date and time information and the information indicating the first place to the sticky note as the information indicating the time after conversion, and displays it on the display unit of the UI unit 14.

The control unit 18 may function as a setting means for setting the mode to be executed. For example, when the display control unit 20 displays the mode setting screen on the display unit and the user operates the UI unit 14 to specify the mode, the control unit 18 sets the mode specified by the user as the mode to be executed. The operation of the display control unit 20 and the conversion unit 74 is controlled according to the setting and the mode. The control unit 18 sets the time difference correction mode as the execution target mode when the time difference correction mode is specified by the user, and sets the code assignment mode as the execution target mode when the code assignment mode is specified by the user. , If both the time difference correction mode and the code assignment mode are specified by the user, both modes are set as the execution target modes.

The mode to be executed may be set by the user in the first place or may be set by the user in the second place.

For example, when the mode is specified by the user in the information processing device 10A in the first place, the control unit 18 adds information (mode information) indicating the mode specified by the user to the sticky note data. The control unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 10A at the second place executes the mode indicated by the mode information added to the sticky note data. By doing so, the display control according to the instruction of the user in the first place is performed.

When the mode is specified by the user in the information processing apparatus 10A at the second location, the control unit 18 executes the mode specified by the user. By doing so, the display control according to the instruction of the user in the second place is performed.

When the mode is specified in both the first place and the second place, the mode set in the second place is prioritized, and the control unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 10A installed in the second place is the first. Execute the mode set in two places. By doing so, even if the mode is specified in both places, the display control is performed according to the instruction of the user in the second place.

The mode may be specified by adding an annotation to the sticky note. When the annotation associated with the time difference correction mode is added to the sticky note, the control unit 18 of the information processing device 10A on which the annotation addition operation is performed sets the time difference correction mode as the mode to be executed and assigns a code. When the annotation associated with the mode is added to the sticky note, the code assignment mode is set as the mode to be executed.

Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described in detail with reference to specific examples.

FIG. 18 shows a sticky note 76 attached to the document. For convenience of explanation, the document is not shown in FIG. For example, it is assumed that a user attaches a sticky note 76 associated with date and time information to a document using an information processing device 10A in Japan (JP) as a first place, and writes a character string in the sticky note 76. In this case, as in the second embodiment, the update unit 22 of the information processing apparatus 10A writes date and time information (for example, information indicating the date and time when the sticky note 76 is attached to the document) in the sticky note 76 as a character string. Update to information indicating the date and time of the entry. The date and time information displayed in the sticky note 76 is information indicating the date and time in Japan in which the operation of the sticky note 76 was performed. The control unit 18 of the information processing apparatus 10A uses sticky note data to provide local date and time information indicating the local date and time (date and time in Japan) when a character string is written in the sticky note 76 and first place information indicating Japan. Add to. For example, the character string "Could you revise this fig?" Is written by the user in the sticky note 76. If the date and time when the writing was performed is 9:05:10 am on September 4, 2017 in Japan time, the character string indicating the date and time "2017/09/04 09:10:05 AM" Is displayed in the sticky note 76.

In FIG. 19, a sticky note 78 is shown. The sticky note 78 is a sticky note displayed on the information processing device 10A installed at the second place. The second location is, for example, the eastern part of the United States (US). For example, from the information processing device 10A installed in Japan (referred to as the first information processing device 10A for convenience) to the information processing device 10A installed in the eastern part of the United States (for convenience, the second information processing device 10A). The data of the document to which the sticker 76 is attached is sent to the device 10A), and the document is displayed on the display unit of the second information processing device 10A. The document data may be transmitted via a communication path such as the Internet, or may be transmitted via a recording medium (for example, a hard disk, a memory, etc.).

Here, it is assumed that the time difference correction mode is executed. The conversion unit 74 of the second information processing apparatus 10A reflects the time difference between Japan and the eastern part of the United States of America in the local date and time information expressed based on Japan time, so that the local date and time information is reflected in the United States of America. Converts to a time expressed relative to Eastern Time. For example, there is a time difference of 13 hours between Japan and the eastern part of the United States, and the conversion unit 74 calculates the time after conversion by reflecting the time difference in the local date and time information. The display control unit 20 displays information indicating the time after conversion in the sticky note 78. The character string displayed in the sticky note 78 is the same as the character string displayed in the sticky note 76. The date and time based on Japan time is 9:05:10 am on September 4, 2017. The date and time is 8:05:10 pm on September 3, 2017, based on Eastern Time in the United States. This time is calculated by the conversion unit 74. The display control unit 20 displays the character string “2017/09/03 08:05:10 PM” indicating the date and time after conversion in the sticky note 78.

By executing the time difference correction mode as described above, even if there is a time difference between the first place and the second place, the date and time information based on the second place is presented to the user.

The control unit 18 of the second information processing apparatus 10A may overwrite the date and time information before conversion (local date and time information) added to the data on the sticker with the date and time information after conversion, or may overwrite the date and time information before conversion. When both the date and time information and the converted date and time information are added to the sticker data and the document is displayed, the converted date and time information may be linked to the sticker and displayed on the display unit.

FIG. 20 shows another sticky note 80. The sticky note 80 is a sticky note displayed on the second information processing apparatus 10A installed in the eastern part of the United States as a second place. Here, it is assumed that the code assignment mode is executed. The conversion unit 74 of the second information processing apparatus 10A identifies the first place (Japan) based on the first place information (information indicating Japan) added to the sticky note data. Next, the conversion unit 74 adds information indicating the first location (for example, a country code indicating Japan) to the date and time information. The display control unit 20 displays the date and time information to which the country code is added in the sticky note 80. The date and time information is information indicating the date and time based on Japan, which is the first place. Therefore, the character string "2017/09/04 09:05:10 AM" indicating the date and time is displayed in the sticky note 80. Further, the character string "JP", which is an example of the country code of Japan, is displayed in addition to the character string indicating the date and time. The character string displayed in the sticky note 80 is the same as the character string displayed in the sticky note 76.

By executing the code assignment mode as described above, it is presented to the user that the date and time information associated with the sticky note is the date and time information based on the first place.

The display control unit 20 may display the converted date and time information in the sticky note according to the display format suitable for the second place. For example, the display format suitable for each second place is predetermined, and the information indicating the display format for each second place may be stored in the storage unit 16 of the information processing apparatus 10A, or may be stored in the storage unit 16 of the information processing device 10A, or the server or the like. It may be provided to the information processing device 10A from an external device. This process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. A sticky note 82 is shown in FIG. The sticky note 82 is a sticky note displayed on the second information processing apparatus 10A installed in the eastern part of the United States as a second place. Here, the time difference correction mode is executed. The display control unit 20 of the second information processing apparatus 10A displays the converted date and time information in the sticky note 82 according to a display format suitable for the eastern part of the United States. Specifically, the display control unit 20 replaces the character string "2017/09/03 08:05:10 PM" (a character string indicating the converted date and time information) expressed in a display format suitable for Japan. , The character string "09 03.2017 08:05:10 PM" expressed in a display format suitable for the eastern part of the United States is displayed on the sticky note 82. By doing so, the date and time information is displayed according to the display format familiar to the user in the second place. The display format may be changed even when the code assignment mode is executed.

The display control unit 20 of the second information processing device 10A installed in the second place links the date and time information before conversion to the sticky note and displays it on the display unit, and the date and time information before conversion is specified by the user. In this case, the date and time information after conversion may be displayed on the display unit instead of the date and time information before conversion or together with the date and time information before conversion. A specific example will be described. For example, it is assumed that the sticky note 78 shown in FIG. 19 is displayed on the display unit of the second information processing apparatus 10A. In this case, the display control unit 20 displays the character string “2017/09/04 09:05:10 AM” indicating the date and time before conversion in the sticky note 78. When the character string "2017/09/04 09:05:10 AM" is specified by the user, the display control unit 20 displays the character string "2017/09/03 08:05:10 PM" indicating the date and time after conversion. Is displayed in the sticky note 78 instead of the character string “2017/09/04 09:05:10 AM” before conversion. By doing so, the date and time information before conversion and the date and time information after conversion are separately presented to the user. The character string indicating the date and time after conversion may be a character string indicating the date and time converted by executing the time difference correction mode, or a character string indicating the date and time converted by executing the code assignment mode. May be good.

As another example, when a character string indicating the date and time before conversion is specified by the user, as shown in FIG. 22, the display control unit 20 uses the character string indicating the date and time before conversion and the date and time after conversion. Both of the character strings indicating the above may be displayed in the sticky note 84. For example, a character string indicating the date and time before conversion and a character string indicating the date and time after conversion are displayed together. By doing so, both the date and time information before conversion and the date and time information after conversion are presented to the user at once.

The control unit 18 of the second information processing apparatus 10A executes the time difference correction mode when the sticky note does not contain the specific information, and executes the code assignment mode when the sticky note contains the specific information. good. The specific information is, for example, information about time. The time information is different from the date and time information (information indicating the date and time when the operation on the sticky note was performed) associated with the sticky note, and the time (date and time, date, time, etc.) written in the sticky note by the user is used. It may be a character string to indicate, or it may be an annotation related to the time added in the sticky note by the user. The control unit 18 applies language processing (for example, known natural language processing such as morphological analysis and parsing) to the character string described in the sticky note, so that the time described in the sticky note is reached. You may extract the character string indicating. Further, the control unit 18 may extract the annotation related to time by analyzing the annotation added in the sticky note.

When information about time (for example, information indicating the date and time) is described in the sticky note, the time itself (for example, date and time) displayed based on the time of the first place may be significant. For example, in Japan as the first place, at 9:05:10 am on September 4, the character string "Please check by September 5" is written on the sticky note as an operation for the sticky note. It is assumed that In this case, the character string "2017/09/04 09:05:10 AM" indicating the date and time information is displayed in the sticky note, and the written character string "Please check by September 5". Is displayed. In such cases, the date September 5 may be significant in relation to the date September 4 when the writing was made. In other words, it is meaningful to confirm by September 5th, based on September 4th, which is the time in Japan when the writing was done, and the text written on the sticky note has such a purpose. Guessed. In such a case, if the date and time information is converted based on the time difference between the first place and the second place (for example, the time difference between Japan and the eastern part of the United States of America), the above-mentioned purpose is a sticky note. It may not be transmitted to the reader of. Therefore, when the information about the time is described in the sticky note, the information indicating the first place can be obtained while preventing the above-mentioned problem from occurring by executing the code assignment mode without executing the time difference correction mode. Presented to the user. If the time information is not described in the sticky note, it is presumed that the above problem does not occur even when the time difference correction mode is executed. Therefore, the control unit 18 executes the time difference correction mode.

When a plurality of sticky notes are attached to the document and the sticky notes are attached to the document at a plurality of different first places, the control unit 18 executes a time difference correction mode for each sticky note, and other than that. In that case, the code assignment mode may be executed. For example, assume that sticky notes have been added to a document in Japan and the eastern United States, respectively, and that the document is displayed in the United Kingdom (UK). In this case, the control unit 18 of the third information processing apparatus 10A installed in the United Kingdom executes the time difference correction mode. That is, the conversion unit 74 reflects the time difference between the first place and the second place (UK) where the sticky notes are attached for each sticky note attached to the document in the date and time before the conversion. , Calculate the date and time after conversion. Specifically, the conversion unit 74 reflects the time difference between Japan and the United Kingdom in the date and time information associated with the sticky note attached in Japan, so that the date and time information associated with the sticky note is reflected in the time in the United Kingdom. Convert to date and time information based on. Similarly, the conversion unit 74 reflects the time difference between the eastern part of the United States and the United Kingdom in the date and time information associated with the sticky note attached in the eastern part of the United States, so that the date and time information associated with the sticky note is transmitted to the United Kingdom. Convert to date and time information based on the time of. By doing this, the date and time information associated with all the sticky notes attached to the document is displayed based on the time in the United Kingdom, so when both the time difference correction mode and the code assignment mode are executed together or the code is executed. Compared to the case where the grant mode is executed, date and time information with a unified date and time standard is presented to the user.

Further, the control unit 18 executes the time difference correction mode when the number of the plurality of first locations different from each other exceeds a predetermined threshold value, and executes the code assignment mode in other cases. May be good. For example, assume that the threshold is "3". The control unit 18 executes the time difference correction mode when the number of the plurality of first places is three or more (for example, three or more countries) including the country and the region, and in other cases, the code assignment mode. To execute.

The information processing device 10 described above is realized, for example, by collaboration between hardware and software. Specifically, the information processing device 10 includes one or a plurality of processors such as a CPU (not shown). When the one or more processors read and execute a program stored in a storage device (not shown), the functions of each part of the information processing device 10 are realized. The program is stored in a storage device via a recording medium such as a CD or DVD, or via a communication path such as a network. As another example, each part of the information processing apparatus 10 may be realized by hardware resources such as a processor, an electronic circuit, and an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). A device such as a memory may be used in the realization. As yet another example, each part of the information processing apparatus 10 may be realized by a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), or the like.
