  Embodiments of an information processing apparatus, a data display method, and a data display program disclosed in the present application will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that this embodiment does not limit the disclosed technology.

  First, the functional configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus according to the embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing apparatus 1 according to the embodiment includes a concealment unit 2 and a data storage unit 3.

  The concealing unit 2 conceals the folder and file designated by the user so that they cannot be seen, or conversely restores the concealed folder and file and returns them to the original location. For example, the user conceals and stores folders and files that are not desired to be seen by others, and temporarily restores them only when he / she sees them.

  The data storage unit 3 includes a non-hidden data storage unit 3a and a hidden data storage unit 3b. The non-hidden data storage unit 3a stores non-hidden folder and file data together with folder hierarchy information.

  The concealment data storage unit 3b stores the data of the folder and file for which concealment is specified, together with the information on the restoration destination location. The hidden data storage unit 3b may encrypt and store data based on the security level, or may encrypt and store only folder and file information without encrypting the data. The data storage unit 3 is realized using a non-volatile storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive).

  The concealing unit 2 includes a storage unit 2a that stores data necessary for concealing and restoring folders and files, and a control unit 2b that uses the data stored in the storage unit 2a to conceal and restore folders and files. .

  The storage unit 2a includes a target information storage unit 2c. The target information storage unit 2c stores information on folders and files to be concealed. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the target information storage unit 2c. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the target information storage unit 2c stores an identifier, a restoration location, a type, a size, and a concealment state for each concealment target.

  The identifier is the name of the folder or file to be hidden. The restoration location is a path to a folder stored when the concealment target is restored. The type indicates whether the concealment target is a folder or a file.

  The size is the size of the folder or file to be concealed. The concealment state indicates whether or not the folder or file to be concealed is in an encrypted concealed state. If the concealed state is concealed, it is “on” and the concealed state is not concealed. Is "off".

  For example, a hidden object whose name is Document is a folder stored under C: \ Users \ YAMADA03 \ Desktop \ MySecret when restored, and its size is 679 MB (megabytes), and it is not hidden It is in.

  The control unit 2 b includes an authentication unit 21, a management unit 22, an encryption unit 23, and a decryption unit 24. The authenticating unit 21 authenticates a user who uses the function of the concealing unit 2. Only the user who is permitted by the authentication can access the concealment object using the concealment unit 2.

  The management unit 22 displays a window for dialogue with the user on the display device, and performs dialogue with the user to register, cancel, expand, etc., the concealment target. Here, the term “development” refers to specifying files and folders included in a hidden folder. The management unit 22 includes a display control unit 22a, a registration unit 22b, a release unit 22c, and an expanded display unit 22d.

  The display control unit 22a displays a window for interaction with the user on the display device and accepts an operation by the user. The registration unit 22b registers the folder or file designated by the user as a concealment target. That is, the registration unit 22b stores information on a folder or file designated by the user in the target information storage unit 2c as a concealment target.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a registration screen. When the authentication by the authentication unit 21 is successful, the display control unit 22a displays a dialog window 41 as shown in FIG. The dialogue window 41 is a window for displaying a folder for concealment, and a list of folders and files already registered as a concealment target is displayed. In FIG. 4, the “name” column indicates the name of the concealment target, the “type” column indicates whether the concealment target is a folder (file folder) or a file, and the “size” column indicates the concealment target. The size is shown, and the “hide” column shows the concealment state of the concealment target. For example, in FIG. 4, a file named Secretdoc is registered as a concealment target.

  The user can register a hidden object by dragging a folder or file into the dialog window 41. Alternatively, the user can select a folder or file to be concealed and press the button 40 for instructing addition of a file / folder to register it as a concealment target. FIG. 3 shows a case where a folder named Document is dragged into the dialog window 41 and registered as a concealment target.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a screen after registration. As shown in FIG. 4, the registered document information is displayed in the dialog window 41 as a registered data list. In FIG. 4, since the document concealment state is “off”, the document is not concealed. The user can switch the concealment state from “off” to “on” or from “on” to “off” by pressing the button 42 in the “hide” column to be concealed. When the concealment state changes from “off” to “on”, the concealment target dragged to the dialog window 41 is replaced with a dummy folder or dummy file in the original folder, and the icon 44 is deleted from the display window 43 of the original folder. The Conversely, when the concealment state changes from “on” to “off”, an icon 44 is displayed in the display window 43 of the original folder.

  Here, the dummy folder is a folder that has the same folder name as the original folder but does not include a file, and the dummy file is a file that has the same file name as the original file but does not include data. In the following, “dummy” is used as a generic term for dummy folders and dummy files.

  When the concealment state is instructed from “off” to “on” by the user, the registration unit 22b encrypts the concealment target and moves it from the non-concealed data storage unit 3a to the concealment data storage unit 3b, and the non-concealment data storage unit 3a Stores a dummy instead of a concealment target. Also, when the concealment state is instructed from “on” to “off” by the user, the registration unit 22b decrypts the concealment target and moves it from the concealment data storage unit 3b to the original folder of the non-concealment data storage unit 3a. Move and replace with dummy.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the canceling unit 22 c cancels the concealment of the folder or file. That is, the canceling unit 22c deletes information on the folder or file designated to be cancelled by the user from the target information storage unit 2c. In addition, when the folder or file designated to be released by the user is concealed, the canceling unit 22c decrypts the folder or file and restores the original folder of the non-hidden data storage unit 3a from the concealed data storage unit 3b. Move down and replace with a dummy.

  The user can cancel the concealment of the folder or file by selecting the cancellation target from the dialog window 41 shown in FIG. 4 and pressing the button 45 displayed as “Registration cancellation”. In addition, the user can turn on all the objects to be concealed by pressing the button 46 displayed as “Hide All”.

  The expansion display unit 22d expands and displays a folder designated by the user. Then, the expansion display unit 22d decrypts the files included in the folder in a predetermined order. Here, the predetermined order is, for example, the order of names. The expansion display unit 22d includes a reception unit 25, a expansion unit 26, a decoding control unit 27, and a priority unit 28.

  The accepting unit 25 accepts folder expansion and decryption instructions from the user, and confirms the concealed state of the accepted folder. The expansion unit 26 expands the folder and activates a window for displaying the folder when the hidden state of the folder designated by the user is “ON”.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a window in which the user instructs expansion and decryption. In FIG. 5, the user instructs the expansion of the corresponding folder by pressing a button 47 displayed as “Open”. In FIG. 5, Document is expanded. Hereinafter, the button 47 displayed as “Open” is referred to as an “Open” button 47.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a window that displays the expanded folder. As shown in FIG. 6, the folder designated by the user is displayed in the display window 43 and automatically opened. In FIG. 6, Document is displayed in the display window 43 and automatically opened.

  The decryption control unit 27 decrypts the folders and files included in the folder expanded by the expansion unit 26 in a predetermined order using the decryption unit 24 and replaces them with dummy files. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the display window 43. In FIG. 7, icons of files included in the document are displayed together with names.

  In FIG. 7, an icon 48 indicating the file type is displayed for a file that has been decrypted, and a dummy icon 49 indicating a dummy file is displayed for a file that has not been decrypted. When the decoding is completed, the dummy icon 49 changes to an icon 48 indicating the file type.

  When the user selects a file that is not decrypted while the decryption process is being performed by the decryption control unit 27, the priority unit 28 interrupts the decryption process based on a predetermined order, and selects the selected file. Decrypt and display preferentially. And the priority part 28 restarts the decoding process based on a predetermined order, when a priority process is complete | finished.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of designation of priority decoding by the user, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing priority decoding of a file designated by the user. As shown in FIG. 8, the user double-clicks a specific file 50 to be preferentially decoded while the files included in the document are being sequentially decoded. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, the file 50 designated by the user is preferentially decoded.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a screen in which the predecrypted file 50 is opened and displayed in the window 51. In FIG. 10, Document 015 for which priority decoding is designated by the user is displayed in window 51.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a screen when the decoding control unit 27 resumes the decoding process based on a predetermined order after the completion of the priority decoding. As shown in FIG. 11, the progress of the decoding process is displayed on the dialog window 41 by a slider 52.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a situation in which the resumed decoding process is progressing. As shown in FIG. 12, since the files other than the preferentially processed file 50 are decrypted in order and the dummy file is replaced with the decrypted file, the number of icons 49 indicating the dummy file is reduced, and the file The icon 48 indicating the type increases.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the encryption unit 23 encrypts the folder or file whose concealment state is instructed from “off” to “on” by the user. The encryption unit 23 encrypts data based on the security level, or encrypts the name of the folder or file without encrypting the data.

  The decryption unit 24 decrypts the folder or file in which the concealment state is instructed from “on” to “off” by the user. The decrypting unit 24 decrypts the data based on the security level, or decrypts the name of the folder or file without decrypting the data. In addition, the decryption unit 24 decrypts the file based on an instruction from the decryption control unit 27.

  Next, the flow of expansion and preferential decoding processing will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of expansion and preferential decoding processing. As shown in FIG. 13, the display control unit 22a displays a list of objects to be concealed on the dialog window 41 (step S1), and the receiving unit 25 receives a press of the [Open] button 47 by the user (step S2). .

  Then, the reception unit 25 checks whether or not the concealment state of the folder corresponding to the pressed [Open] button 47 is “on” (step S3). The decryption process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is “ON”, the expansion unit 26 expands the folder corresponding to the pressed [Open] button 47 and displays it on the display window 43 (step S4). The expansion unit 26 displays the file before decryption with a file name and a dummy icon 49.

  Then, the decryption control unit 27 decrypts the file in which the dummy icon 49 is displayed in the display window 43 in a predetermined order (step S5) and replaces it with the dummy file. When the user double-clicks a specific file during decryption, the priority unit 28 accepts the double-click on the file (step S6), and the decryption by the decryption control unit 27 is interrupted (step S7).

  Then, the priority unit 28 determines whether or not the double-clicked file has been decrypted (step S8). If the file has not been decrypted, the priority unit 28 preferentially decrypts the double-clicked file. (Step S9), the file decrypted with priority is opened (Step S10). Then, the priority unit 28 resumes the interrupted decoding (step S11).

  On the other hand, when the double-clicked file has been decrypted, the priority unit 28 opens the file (step S12) and resumes the interrupted decryption (step S11).

  In this way, the display control unit 22a displays the dialog window 41. Then, the accepting unit 25 accepts pressing of the [Open] button 47 by the user in the dialog window 41 and confirms the concealment state of the folder corresponding to the [Open] button 47 pressed by the user.

  If the concealment state is “ON”, the expansion unit 26 expands the folder corresponding to the “Open” button 47 pressed by the user and displays the folder on the display window 43. Then, the decryption control unit 27 decrypts the files in the folder in a predetermined order.

  Therefore, the user can easily find the file he / she wants to decrypt and use from the display window 43, and can shorten the time for searching for the file he / she wants to use.

  In addition, the priority unit 28 preferentially decrypts and opens a file double-clicked on the display window 43 by the user during decryption. Therefore, the user can reduce the waiting time due to the decryption process of other files by designating the file to be decrypted and used on the display window 43.

  Here, a case has been described in which the expansion display unit 22d displays and decrypts a folder whose concealment state is “on”, but the expansion display unit 22d decrypts a folder whose concealment state is “on”. And may be displayed. Further, the expansion display unit 22d may decrypt and display the file whose concealment state is “ON”.

  As described above, in the embodiment, the development display unit 22d displays the dialog window 41. When the [Open] button 47 associated with the folder in the dialog window 41 is pressed by the user, the receiving unit 25 receives the pressing of the [Open] button 47 by the user, and the corresponding folder is hidden. Check if it is “ON”.

  Then, when the concealment state of the corresponding folder is “ON”, the expansion unit 26 expands the folder and displays it on the display window 43. Then, the decryption control unit 27 decrypts the files in the folder in a predetermined order.

  Therefore, the user can easily find the file that the user wants to decrypt and use from the display window 43, and the time for the user to search for the file that the user wants to use can be reduced.

  In the embodiment, the decompressing unit 26 displays an icon 48 indicating the file type for a file that has been decrypted, and displays a dummy icon 49 for a file that has not been decrypted. Therefore, the user can easily distinguish between files that have been decrypted and files that have not been decrypted.

  In the embodiment, the priority unit 28 preferentially decrypts the file that the user double-clicked on the display window 43 during the decryption. Therefore, the user can quickly use a specific file included in the encrypted folder.

  In addition, although the expansion display part 22d was demonstrated in the Example, the display program which has the same function can be obtained by implement | achieving the structure which the expansion display part 22d has with software.
