Abstract

An e-mail display device includes an e-mail reception unit that receives an e-mail, a display unit that displays information indicative of the received e-mail according to a priority, and a reflection unit that performs a process of reflecting a priority between a first user and a second user into a priority between the first user and a third user who has a prescribed relationship with the second user.

Claims (37)

1. An e-mail display device comprising:

a processor, configured to:

receive an e-mail from a first user to a third user;

receive a request of a priority takeover process from a second user to the third user;

update a priority value between the first user and the third user as a priority value between the first user and the second user in response to the request of the priority takeover process when the third user has a prescribed relationship with the second user,

wherein the prescribed relationship between the second user and the third user is that the third user is a user designated to perform a job of the second user, instead of the second user;

sort the received e-mail from the first user to the third user according to the updated priority value;

and display information indicative of the received e-mail according to a result of the sort.

2. The e-mail display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the prescribed relationship between the second user and the third user is that the third user is designated as a successor of the second user.

3. The e-mail display device according to claim 2 ,

wherein an initial priority value between the first user and the second user is higher than an initial priority value between the first user and the third user.

4. The e-mail display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the prescribed relationship between the second user and the third user is that the third user is a user designated to perform a job relevant to a job of the second user, together with the second user.

5. The e-mail display device according to claim 4 ,

wherein an initial priority value between the first user and the second user is higher than an initial priority value between the first user and the third user.

6. The e-mail display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the prescribed relationship between the second user and the third user is that the third user belongs to a part to which the second user belongs.

7. The e-mail display device according to claim 6 ,

wherein an initial priority value between the first user and the second user is higher than an initial priority value between the first user and the third user.

8. The e-mail display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein an initial priority value between the first user and the second user is higher than an initial priority value between the first user and the third user.

9. The e-mail display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a user of the e-mail display device is the first user.

10. The e-mail display device according to claim 9 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive the information from the e-mail display device of the second user or the third user.

11. The e-mail display device according to claim 1 ,

wherein a user of the e-mail display device is the third user.

12. The e-mail display device according to claim 11 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive the information from the e-mail display device of the second user or the first user.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to:

perform a reception process of an e-mail from a first user to a third user;

receive a request of a priority takeover process from a second user to the third user;

update a priority value between the first user and the third user as a priority value between the first user and the second user in response to the request of the priority takeover process when the third user has a prescribed relationship with the second user,

wherein the prescribed relationship between the second user and the third user is that the third user is a user designated to perform a job of the second user, instead of the second user,

sort the e-mail received by the reception process from the first user to the third user according to the updated priority value,

and display information indicative of the e-mail received by the reception process according to a result of the sort.
