## Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an item list display controller, an item selector, a sheet determiner and an item display controller. The item list display controller displays a list of items included in sheets on a display. The item selector allows a user to select a desired item from the list of the items. The sheet determiner determines a sheet which includes the selected item. The item display controller displays a sheet image of a part corresponding to the selected item of the determined sheet on the display.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus, comprising:
a processor configured to:
control a display to display a list of items included in sheets;
select an item from the list of the items based on input operation by a user;
determine a sheet which includes the selected item;
determine coordinates of a part of the determined sheet, the part corresponding to the selected item; and
control the display to display a sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet based on the determined coordinates.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to change a display magnification of the sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet according to display magnification information which is preset with respect to each of the items.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to control the display to display the sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet at a predetermined location in a display area of the display.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to:
sort the items in a data order; and
control the display to display the list of the items sorted in the data order.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to:
sort the items in an update order from a latest update based on update history information on the items; and
control the display to display the list of items sorted in the update order.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to:
sort the items in a specified time order from a specified time closest to a current date and time based on specified time information on tasks related to the respective items; and
control the display to display the list of items sorted in the specified time order.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the sheets are created for respective management objects, and
wherein the processor is configured to:
control the display to display a list of the management objects;
select a management object from the list of the management objects based on input operation by the user; and
control the display to display the sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet of the selected management object.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to control the display to display the sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet in a scrollable manner.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to control the display to display the sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet in a pop-up window.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein the processor is configured to control the display to display the sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet in a display area different from a display area of the whole sheet.

### Claim 11

An information processing method comprising:
controlling, by a processor, a display to display a list of items included in sheets;
selecting, by the processor, an item from the list of the items based on input operation by a user;
determining, by the processor, a sheet which includes the selected item;
determine, by the processor, coordinates of a part of the determined sheet, the part corresponding to the selected item; and
controlling, by the processor, the display to display a sheet image of the part, corresponding to the selected item, of the determined sheet based on the determined coordinates.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)
