Information processing apparatus and information processing method

An information processing method executed by a processor a memory storing instructions for executing operations comprising:

• obtaining position information and time information, the position information indicating a position at which a writing action has been performed and which is specified in accordance with code information formed on a medium to which an operation result for operation items is input by the writing action, the time information indicating a time at which the writing action was performed;
• specifying, in accordance with the position information, an operation item for which the writing action has been performed;
• calculating, in accordance with the time information, an operation time taken to perform an operation of the operation item for which the writing action has been performed;
• and
• detecting an operation item in which a time difference between the operation time calculated by the calculating and a predetermined standard operation time taken to perform the operation of the operation item for which the writing action has been performed is longer than or equal to a predetermined time.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a detecting unit that detects that a writing action has been performed on a medium;
• a reading unit that reads position information on the medium when the detecting unit detects that a writing action has been performed on the medium;
• an obtaining unit that obtains time information indicating a time at which the detecting unit detects that a writing action has been performed on the medium;
• a memory that stores the position information and the time information in association with each other;
• an operation item memory that stores operation items and pieces of position information in association with each other;
• a time specifying unit that specifies first time information indicating a time at which a writing action was performed for a first operation item and second time information indicating a time at which a writing action was performed for a second operation item, by referring to the memory and the operation item memory, the first operation item and the second operation item being included in the operation items stored in the operation item memory, the first time information and the second time information being included in the time information obtained by the obtaining unit;
• and
• a calculating unit that calculates a difference between the first time information and the second time information, the difference being regarded as an operation time of the first operation item.
