Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a display that displays plural operators for selection of service processes; and a detection unit that detects an operation state of a user before selection of any of the operators, wherein in a case where a predetermined operation state is detected, the display displays, on each of at least one or more of the plural operators displayed on the display, relevant information associated with the operator.

Claims (35)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display that displays a plurality of operators for selection of service processes; and

a detection unit that detects an operation state of a user before selection of any of the operators,

wherein in a case where a predetermined operation state is detected, the display displays, on each of at least one or more of the plurality of operators displayed on the display, relevant information associated with the operator.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the predetermined operation state is a state in which page turning is repeated, a state in which a predetermined period has elapsed without screen transition, or a state where an original screen has been displayed again without execution of a service process after screen transition.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the predetermined operation state is a state in which page turning has been stopped on a page including a plurality of operators that are identical or similar to each other.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the plurality of operators that are identical or similar to each other are at least one of (i) a plurality of operators that are given identical or similar images and (ii) a plurality of operators that are given identical or similar names.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

attributes of the images are expressed by numerical values;

in a case where it is determined as a result of comparison that two numerical values given to images are identical to each other, the images are regarded as being identical; and

in a case where determined as a result of comparison that a difference between two numerical values given to images is within a predetermined range, the images are regarded as being similar.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the at least one or more of the operators are the plurality of operators that are identical or similar to each other; and

different pieces of relevant information are displayed on the plurality of operators that are identical or similar to each other, respectively.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the plurality of operators that are identical or similar to each other are included in a page displayed to the user.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of operators include an operator other than an operator that is prepared in advance.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of operators include an operator that is set so that execution of a service process is started by selection of the operator.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the relevant information is at least one of information indicative of a use form of a service process, information indicative of the number of times of execution of a service process, and information indicative of contents of setting of a service process.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation state of the user includes an operation state produced by voice or an action; and

the predetermined operation state is detected by voice recognition or action recognition.

12 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

displaying a plurality of operators for selection of service processes on a display; and

displaying, on each of at least one or more of the plurality of operators displayed on the display, relevant information associated with the operator in a case where a predetermined operation state is detected.

13 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

display means for displaying a plurality of operators for selection of service processes; and

detection means for detecting an operation state of a user before selection of any of the operators,

wherein in a case where a predetermined operation state is detected, the display means displays, on each of at least one or more of the plurality of operators displayed on the display means, relevant information associated with the operator.
