Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a generation unit that generates correspondence relationship information between messages by using a history of communication which is performed by associating a document with the messages among plural users, an extraction unit that extracts a difference in a case where the document is updated, and a presentation unit that retrieves the difference from the correspondence relationship information, and presents a message on the basis of a retrieval result in the correspondence relationship information.

Claims (32)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a generation unit that generates correspondence relationship information between messages by using a history of communication which is performed by associating a document with the messages among a plurality of users;

an extraction unit that extracts a difference in a case where the document is updated; and

a presentation unit that retrieves the difference from the correspondence relationship information, and presents a message on the basis of a retrieval result in the correspondence relationship information.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the generation unit generates the correspondence relationship information between the messages by using a quoted portion described in a message.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the generation unit generates a tree structure as the correspondence relationship information, and sets a second message having the same text as a quoted portion in a first message as a quoted portion, as the same hierarchy as a hierarchy of the first message.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the generation unit generates a tree structure as the correspondence relationship information, and sets a second message having text other than a quoted portion in a first message as a quoted portion, as a lower hierarchy of the first message.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the quoted portion has a quotation mark, and

wherein the generation unit specifies a message to be set as a higher rank of the second message on the basis of the number of quotation marks.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the generation unit generates a tree structure as the correspondence relationship information, and sets a message as a root node in the tree structure in a case where there is no quoted portion in the message.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein a quoted portion of a message forming the correspondence relationship information is set as a target of the retrieval.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the generation unit generates the correspondence relationship information between the messages by using information of a header portion of a message.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the generation unit generates a tree structure as the correspondence relationship information, and

wherein the presentation unit presents a message in a higher rank or a lower rank of a node including the difference.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the presentation unit presents messages at the node including the difference in a time series.

11 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program causing a computer to function as:

a generation unit that generates correspondence relationship information between messages by using a history of communication which is performed by associating a document with the messages among a plurality of users;

an extraction unit that extracts a difference in a case where the document is updated; and

a presentation unit that retrieves the difference from the correspondence relationship information, and presents a message on the basis of a retrieval result in the correspondence relationship information.

12 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

generation means for generating correspondence relationship information between messages by using a history of communication which is performed by associating a document with the messages among a plurality of users;

extraction means for extracting a difference in a case where the document is updated; and

presentation means for retrieving the difference from the correspondence relationship information, and presenting a message on the basis of a retrieval result in the correspondence relationship information.
