Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an electronic document editing apparatus, for example, the information on the document created / edited is only the comment intentionally input by the user, the document creation time added by the system, and the information such as the document creator. I couldn't get it.

Document creation / editing work performed by humans has been performed with paper and a pen for a long time, and much experience has been accumulated. However, in an electronic document editing device such as a word processor or a document editor, since only the character information of the document is input, for example, the oldness of the document due to the yellowing of the paper, the trace of erasing and correcting the character, the character The abundance of information recorded on the paper, such as the mental state of the author due to the dirtyness of the document, is missing.

Therefore, the knowledge gained by creating / editing a document on paper, for example, a part where a character is modified many times is a part where the writer wrote with care, and a scribbled document contains many mistakes. Since the knowledge about the situation at that time may not be available later, work efficiency is reduced, and the information to be transmitted is limited, and smooth communication is not achieved. .

As a result of observing a situation in which a person is actually programming a computer, a characteristic behavior pattern when a bug is mixed in a program was extracted. For example,
Examples include copying a similar part in a program and then partially modifying it and using it, or when it took more than a minute to enter one line. If these situations can be displayed in addition to the character information of the program, it can be expected that the debugging work of the program will be greatly improved in efficiency.

[0006]

As described above, in the conventional editing apparatus for editing information such as a document by electronic processing,
When the editing information is input, the external environment, the physical condition of the editing worker, the mental condition, or the difficulty of the editing contents are not recorded. Even if we could know the knowledge about the information, we could not use the knowledge about the environmental information and history information.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when the editing information is processed, the environmental information and history information at that time are also saved at the same time, and when the user confirms the editing contents later, An object of the present invention is to provide an editing device capable of accurately determining the situation at the time of editing work by displaying the editing information in a predetermined display form according to environmental information and history information at the time of information processing. .
