## Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a display controller that displays on a display a drawing that expresses a meaning of target data, and an extracting unit that extracts partial data that is at least part of the target data, the partial data being used to express a specific portion if the specific portion is specified as part or whole of the drawing.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An information processing apparatus comprising:
a display controller that displays on a display a drawing that expresses a meaning of target data; and
an extracting unit that, if a specific portion, which is part or whole of the drawing, is specified, extracts partial data that is at least part of the target data used to express the specific portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display controller displays a plurality of drawings expressing meanings of a plurality of meaning segments of the target data, and
wherein the extracting unit extracts the partial data that has been used to express the drawing that is specified to be the specific portion, from among the drawings.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the drawing comprises one or more elements, and
wherein if the element is specified to be the specific portion, the extracting unit extracts the partial data that has been used to express the specified element.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 3, wherein if the element commonly included in the drawings is specified to be the specific portion, the extracting unit extracts the partial data used to express the specified element from each of the meaning segments corresponding to the drawings including the specified element.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein if the extracting unit has extracted the partial data, the display controller displays the drawing that has been generated in accordance with a remaining portion of the target data as a result of removing the partial data.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein if the drawings expressing the meanings of the meaning segments of the target data are displayed, part or whole of one of the drawings is specified to be the specific portion, and the partial data corresponding to the specific portion is extracted, the display controller displays the drawing that has been generated in accordance with a remaining portion of the meaning segment corresponding to the drawing including the specific portion with the partial data removed.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the display controller displays the drawing that has been re-generated in response to meanings of meaning segments other than the meaning segment, the meaning of the other meaning segments changing by removing the partial data from the meaning segment corresponding to the drawing containing the specific portion.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the other meaning segments from which the drawing is generated is selectable by a user.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the display controller displays the drawing that has been re-generated in response to the changed meanings of the other meaning segments, with the meanings of the other meaning segments changing in concert with a change in the meaning of the meaning segment with the partial data removed therefrom.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the extracting unit extracts the partial data by moving the specific portion from inside a display region of the drawing to outside the display region on the display.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the display controller displays the partial data at a location of a destination of the specific portion.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display controller displays the drawing including an expression of additional information that is not included in the target data, and
wherein the extracting unit does not extract the additional information as the partial data.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display controller displays the drawing including an expression of additional information that is not included in the target data, and
wherein the extracting unit extracts the additional information as the partial data.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein if the extracting unit extracts the partial data after the drawing including the expression of the additional information is displayed, the display controller displays, without modifying the expression of the additional information, the drawing that has been generated in accordance with a remaining portion of the target data with the partial data removed therefrom.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein if the extracting unit extracts the partial data after the drawing including the expression of the additional information is displayed, the display controller displays the drawing that has been generated in accordance with a remaining portion of the target data with the partial data removed therefrom, and that does not include the expression of the additional information.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 12, wherein if the drawing generated in accordance with a remaining portion of the target data with the partial data removed by the extracting unit therefrom is displayed after the drawing including the expression of the additional information is displayed, the display controller displays a screen prompting a user to edit the additional information on the display.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the target data is different from the partial data in a data format.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an audio input unit that receives a voice instruction specifying the specific portion.

### Claim 19 (depends on 5)

The information processing apparatus according to claim 5, further comprising a notification controller that outputs a notification concerning an appearing object if the appearing object is affected in meaning by removing the partial data when the drawing is generated by extracting the partial data, and the appearing object in the target data is expressed by the drawing.

### Claim 20

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the process comprising:
displaying on a display a drawing that expresses a meaning of target data; and
extracting partial data that is at least part of the target data, the partial data being used to express a specific portion if the specific portion is specified as part or whole of the drawing.
