Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a display unit configured to display a relationship diagram that is created according to an operation by an operator and expresses a relationship between a plurality of items by connecting the plurality of items together with relationship lines; and an output unit configured to output a display element indicating second data relevant to first data corresponding to at least one of the plurality of items in such a way that the display element is displayed on the relationship diagram.

Claims (58)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display unit configured to display a relationship diagram that is created according to an operation by an operator and expresses a relationship between a plurality of items by connecting the plurality of items together with relationship lines; and

an output unit configured to output a display element indicating second data relevant to first data corresponding to at least one of the plurality of items in such a way that the display element is displayed on the relationship diagram.

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

the first data is associated with a first item of the plurality of items, and

the second data is associated with a second item of the plurality of items.

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

the display element further indicates an importance of the second data with respect to the first data.

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

the output unit outputs the display element in association with the second item.

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

the output unit outputs the display element in such a way that the display element is displayed in a different form from the plurality of items.

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

the output unit outputs the display element in such a way that the display element is displayed in a form according to the importance.

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

the display element further indicates a relevance between the first data and the second data.

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

the output unit outputs the display element in such a way that the display element is displayed in association with the first item and the second item.

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

the output unit outputs the display element in such a way that the display element is displayed in a different form from the relationship lines between the plurality of items.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the output unit outputs the display element in such a way that the display element is displayed in a form according to the relevance.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising an association unit configured to associate the first data and the second data with the first item and the second item, respectively.

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

the first data is associated with a specific item of the plurality of items, and

the second data is not associated with any of the plurality of items.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein

the display element further indicates an importance of the second data with respect to the first data.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein

the output unit outputs the display element in such a way that the display element is displayed in a different form from the plurality of items.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein

the output unit outputs the display element in such a way that the display element is displayed in a form according to the importance.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein

the display unit displays, as one of the plurality of items in the relationship diagram, an item obtained by converting the display element.

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

displaying a relationship diagram that is created according to an operation by an operator and expresses a relationship between a plurality of items by connecting the plurality of items together with relationship lines; and

outputting a display element indicating second data relevant to first data corresponding to at least one of the plurality of items in such a way that the display element is displayed on the relationship diagram.

18 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a display unit configured to display a relationship diagram that expresses a relationship between a plurality of items by connecting the plurality of items together with relationship lines;

a receiving unit configured to receive designation of a specific relationship line between the plurality of items; and

an output unit configured to output a display element indicating second data relevant to first data corresponding to at least one of the plurality of items in such a way that the display element is displayed on the relationship diagram without causing inconsistency with the specific relationship line.

19 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein

the output unit outputs a display element according to an attribute of the specific relationship line in such a way that the display element is displayed on the relationship diagram.

20 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 19 , wherein

the attribute is a direction of the specific relationship line.

21 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein

the output unit outputs a display element having an attribute according to the specific relationship line in such a way that the display element is displayed on the relationship diagram.

22 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 21 , wherein

the attribute is a direction of the display element.

23 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein

the first data is associated with a first item of the plurality of items, and

the second data is associated with a second item of the plurality of items.

24 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 23 , wherein

the display element indicates a directionality between the first data and the second data.

25 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein

the first data is associated with a specific item of the plurality of items, and

the second data is not associated with any of the plurality of items.

26 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 25 , wherein

the display element indicates a directionality between the first data and the second data.
