Electronic sticky note system, information processing terminal, method for processing electronic sticky note, medium storing program, and data structure of electronic sticky note

A method for processing an electronic sticky note in an information processing terminal, comprising:

• displaying a mail including a text when an electronic mail application is activated;
• receiving an input for generating an electronic sticky note and an input for sticky note information;
• storing the sticky note information which includes header information to be displayed in a display area for an electronic sticky note, sticky note displaying position information indicating a position in which the electronic sticky note is to be displayed, and application associating information corresponding to information for activating an application selected from one or more applications that are associated with the electronic sticky note;
• generating, in response to the input for generating the electronic sticky note, the electronic sticky note based on at least a part of the text of the mail and displaying the electronic sticky note on the basis of the header information and the electronic sticky note displaying position information;
• and
• executing the application, selected from the one or more applications that are associated with the electronic sticky note, on the basis of the application associating information,
• wherein an application, which is associated with the electronic sticky note, includes the application which is indicated by the sticky note displaying position information and other application information corresponding to the application associating information included in the sticky note information,
• wherein a specific application, selected according to a user's input, corresponding to an electronic sticky note selected from the displayed electronic sticky note is controlled to be activated,
• wherein the selected electronic sticky note is associated with the sticky note information corresponding to the specific application in the storage device, and,
• wherein, when the specific application is controlled to be activated, at least one parameter for activating the specific application is automatically selected from the text of the mail.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute an electronic sticky note process in an information processing terminal, the electronic sticky note process comprising:

• displaying a mail including a text when an electronic mail application is activated;
• receiving an input for generating an electronic sticky note and an input for sticky note information;
• storing the sticky note information which includes header information to be displayed in a display area for an electronic sticky note, sticky note displaying position information indicating a position in which the electronic sticky note is to be displayed, and application associating information corresponding to information for activating an application selected from one or more applications that are associated with the electronic sticky note;
• generating, in response to the input for generating the electronic sticky note, the electronic sticky note based on at least a part of the text of the mail and displaying the electronic sticky note on the basis of the header information and the electronic sticky note displaying position information;
• and
• executing the application, selected from the one or more applications that are associated with the electronic sticky note, on the basis of the application associating information,
• wherein an application, which is associated with the electronic sticky note, includes the application which is indicated by the sticky note displaying position information and other application information corresponding to the application associating information included in the sticky note information,
• wherein a specific application, selected according to a user's input, corresponding to an electronic sticky note selected from the displayed electronic sticky note is controlled to be activated,
• wherein the selected electronic sticky note is associated with the sticky note information corresponding to the specific application in the storage device, and,
• wherein, when the specific application is controlled to be activated, at least one parameter for activating the specific application is automatically selected from the text of the mail.

An electronic sticky note system equipped in an information processing terminal, comprising:

• a display that displays a mail including a text when an electronic mail application is activated;
• a storage that stores sticky note information which includes header information to be displayed in a display area for the electronic sticky note, sticky note displaying position information indicating a position in which the electronic sticky note is to be displayed, and application associating information corresponding to information for activating an application selected from one or more applications that are associated with the electronic sticky note;
• at least one processor operable to read and operate according to instructions within a computer program;
• and
• at least one memory operable to store at least portions of said computer program for access by said processor;
• wherein said program includes algorithms to cause said processor to implement:
• an input device that receives an input for generating the electronic sticky note and an input for the sticky note information;
• and a controller for generating, in response to the input for generating the electronic sticky note, the electronic sticky note based on at least a part of the text of the mail and displaying, on the display, the electronic sticky note on the basis of the header information and the electronic sticky note displaying position information and for executing the application, selected from the one or more applications that are associated with the electronic sticky note, on the basis of the application associating information,
• wherein an application, which is associated with the electronic sticky note, includes the application which is indicated by the sticky note displaying position information and other application information corresponding to the application associating information included in the sticky note information,
• wherein the controller is capable of activating a specific application, selected according to a user's input, corresponding to an electronic sticky note selected from the displayed electronic sticky note,
• wherein the selected electronic sticky note is associated with the sticky note information corresponding to the specific application in the storage, and,
• wherein, when the controller activates the specific application, the controller automatically selects, from the text of the mail, at least one parameter for activating the specific application.
