Abstract
A storage location and a name of a document designated by a user are displayed on a main window screen. A viewing history management section determines if the information in display has been viewed before by referring to a content of a document management information storage section, acquires an ID number corresponding to the information if viewed before, and, if not, issues a new ID and registers it in the storage section. A list of a related document group is created by analyzing viewing history information accumulated daily, determining a document group related to a document in view, and creating the group as a list.
Claims18
A computer-implemented document processing and management method comprising the steps of:
- storing received document data;
- urging input of a viewing instruction to view document data stored in the document data storage step;
- extracting the document data as a target to which the viewing instruction is issued, from the document data storage step when the document data viewing instruction is input through the instruction input step, and which stores the document data as information for a viewed document history associated with statistical numbers, such as a number of times of issuing viewing instructions and a time when the document is viewed;
- and
- analyzing the statistical numbers associated with the viewed document history information stored in the viewing history storage step, and extracting any document data for viewed document history information as related document data from the document data storage step based on the analysis, the extracted document data having statistical numbers that are approximate to those of the document data as a target to which the viewing instruction is issued by the instruction input step.
A document processing and management apparatus comprising:
- a document data storage unit which stores received document data;
- an instruction input unit which urges input of a viewing instruction to view document data stored in the document data storage unit or input of a change instruction to change document data to be viewed;
- a viewing history storage unit which extracts the document data as a target to which the viewing instruction is issued, from the document data storage unit when the document data viewing instruction is input through the instruction input unit, and which stores the document data as information for a viewed document history associated with statistical numbers, such as a number of times of issuing viewing instructions and a time when the document is viewed;
- and
- a document data extraction unit which analyzes the statistical numbers associated with the viewed document history information stored in the viewing history storage unit, and extracting any document data for viewed document history information as related document data from the document data storage unit based on the analysis, the extracted document data having statistical numbers that are approximate to those of the document data as a target to which the viewing instruction is issued by the instruction input unit.
A document processing and management apparatus comprising:
- a document data storage means for storing received document data;
- an instruction input means for urging input of a viewing instruction to view document data stored in the document data storage means or input of a change instruction to change document data to be viewed;
- a viewing history storage means for extracting the document data as a target to which the viewing instruction is issued, from the document data storage means when the document data viewing instruction is input through the instruction input means, and which stores the document data as information for a viewed document history associated with statistical numbers, such as a number of times of issuing viewing instructions and a time when the document is viewed;
- and
- a document data extraction means for analyzing the statistical numbers associated with the viewed document history information stored in the viewing history storage means, and extracting any document data for viewed document history information as related document data from the document data storage means based on the analysis, the extracted document data having statistical numbers that are approximate to those of the document data as a target to which the viewing instruction is issued by the instruction input means.
