Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• at least one hardware processor configured to implement:
• a selecting unit that selects at least one component among a first component included in first electronic information and a second component included in second electronic information;
• a degree-of-association calculating unit that calculates a degree of association representing a strength of association between the at least one component selected by the selecting unit and the second component included in the second electronic information;
• and
• a display unit that displays associated-component information regarding the second component by changing a display of the second component within the second electronic information in proportion to the degree of association which is calculated by the degree-of-association calculating unit, the second component being associated with the at least one component and being included in the second electronic information,
• wherein the degree-of-association calculating unit obtains the at least one component from a document by dividing a portion of the document with respect to paragraphs of the document.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

• selecting at least one of a plurality of components of electronic information;
• obtaining a different component associated with at least one of the plurality of components from a document by dividing a portion of the document with respect to paragraphs of the document;
• calculating a degree of association representing a strength of association between the different component and the at least one of the plurality of components;
• and
• displaying associated-component information by changing a display of the different component within the electronic information in proportion to the calculated degree of association, the associated-component information regarding the different component associated with the selected component,
• wherein, in a case in which the at least one of the plurality of the components comprises a description indicating a conjunctive relation with the different component, the at least one of the plurality of components is associated with the different component.
