Data processing apparatus, data processing system, and non-transitory computer readable medium

A data processing system comprising:

• a document storage device that stores browsing document data configured by a plurality of browsing object data items each of which is disposed at a predetermined position;
• and
• a data processing apparatus that processes the browsing document data stored in the document storage device,
• wherein the data processing apparatus includes:
• a display control unit that controls the browsing document data stored in the document storage device to be displayed;
• a position information acquisition unit that acquires position information, the position information being pointed by a pointing unit and indicating a position corresponding to the browsing document data displayed by the display control unit;
• a direction identification unit that identifies a direction pointed by the pointing unit, starting from the pointed position, based on a history of a motion by the pointing unit when the browsing document data is browsed;
• and
• an attention data identification unit that identifies attention data indicating browsing object data that is focused, among the plurality of browsing object data items, based on the position information acquired by the position information acquisition unit and a direction identified by the direction identification unit.
