Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to sort electronic documents to a predetermined storage area based on attributes assigned to the electronic documents, receive an operation of changing the attributes, and control, based on the changed attributes, displaying of a storage area that stores the electronic documents when the electronic documents are re-sorted.

Claims (26)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising a processor configured to

sort electronic documents to a predetermined storage area based on attributes assigned to the electronic documents,

receive an operation of changing the attributes, and

control, based on the changed attributes, displaying of a storage area that stores the electronic documents when the electronic documents are re-sorted.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to

search for electronic documents based on attributes assigned to the electronic documents,

receive an operation of changing the attributes of the retrieved electronic documents, and

control, based on the changed attributes, displaying of a storage area that stores the retrieved electronic documents when the retrieved electronic documents are re-sorted.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor determines the storage area that stores the retrieved electronic documents when the retrieved electronic documents are re-sorted based on a preset rule showing a relationship between the attributes and the storage area.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein, if the rule does not exist in association with the changing of the attributes, the processor avoids displaying the storage area that stores the retrieved electronic documents when the retrieved electronic documents are re-sorted, and avoids re-sorting the retrieved electronic documents.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor controls displaying of the storage area that stores the electronic documents before the electronic documents are re-sorted, in association with the storage area that stores the electronic documents when the electronic documents are re-sorted.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to

create a new storage area if no storage area exists in association with the changed attributes, and

display the created new storage area as the storage area that stores the electronic documents when the electronic documents are re-sorted.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to

if any storage area contains no electronic document after the electronic documents are re-sorted, delete the storage area containing no electronic document, and

display an indication that the storage area containing no electronic document is deleted.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the processor deletes the storage area containing no electronic document after permission of a user.

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

sorting electronic documents to a predetermined storage area based on attributes assigned to the electronic documents,

receiving an operation of changing the attributes, and

controlling, based on the changed attributes, displaying of a storage area that stores the electronic documents when the electronic documents are re-sorted.

10 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for sorting electronic documents to a predetermined storage area based on attributes assigned to the electronic documents;

means for receiving an operation of changing the attributes; and

means for controlling, based on the changed attributes, displaying of a storage area that stores the electronic documents when the electronic documents are re-sorted.
