Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor that associates a first document element and a second document element different from the first document element with each other by at least one type of relation among a plurality of types of relations, and, in a case where the first document element is changed, performs processing corresponding to the type of relation between the first document element and the second document element, on the second document element.

Claims (38)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

associate a first document element and a second document element different from the first document element with each other by at least one type of relation among a plurality of types of relations, and

in a case where the first document element is changed, perform processing corresponding to the type of relation between the first document element and the second document element, on the second document element.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is a first type of relation in which a similarity between the first document element and the second document element is greater than 0 and equal to or greater than a first predetermined threshold value, the processing is notification processing of notifying a participant of the second document element that the first document element is changed.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the notification processing is processing in which, on a display screen showing a relation between the changed first document element and one or more second document elements associated with the first document element, the second document element which is not changed after a change of the first document element among the second document elements is displayed in a display form different from a display form of the second document element changed after the change of the first document element.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, in the processing, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is the first type of relation, but the first document element and the second document element are included in an identical document, the notification processing is not performed.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein, in the processing, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is the first type of relation, but the first document element and the second document element are included in an identical document, the notification processing is not performed.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is a second type of relation, the processing is processing of copying the changed first document element to the second document element, and

the second type of relation is a relation in which the similarity is equal to or greater than a second threshold value being the minimum value of the similarity, which causes the first document element and the second document element to be considered to be identical to each other.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is a second type of relation, the processing is processing of copying the changed first document element to the second document element, and

the second type of relation is a relation in which the similarity is equal to or greater than a second threshold value being the minimum value of the similarity, which causes the first document element and the second document element to be considered to be identical to each other.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is a second type of relation, the processing is processing of copying the changed first document element to the second document element, and

the second type of relation is a relation in which the similarity is equal to or greater than a second threshold value being the minimum value of the similarity, which causes the first document element and the second document element to be considered to be identical to each other.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is a second type of relation, the processing is processing of copying the changed first document element to the second document element, and

the second type of relation is a relation in which the similarity is equal to or greater than a second threshold value being the minimum value of the similarity, which causes the first document element and the second document element to be considered to be identical to each other.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein, in a case where the relation between the first document element and the second document element is a second type of relation, the processing is processing of copying the changed first document element to the second document element, and

the second type of relation is a relation in which the similarity is equal to or greater than a second threshold value being the minimum value of the similarity, which causes the first document element and the second document element to be considered to be identical to each other.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processing is processing in which, on a display screen showing a relation between the changed first document element and one or more second document elements associated with the first document element, each of the one or more second document elements is displayed in a display form corresponding to the type of the relation between the second document element and the first document element.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the processing includes processing of controlling whether or not to display a third document element associated with the second document element on the display screen, in accordance with the type of the relation between the first document element and the second document element.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the processing includes processing of controlling whether or not to display a third document element associated with the second document element on the display screen, in accordance with a combination of the type of the relation between the first document element and the second document element and a type of relation between the second document element and the third document element.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the processing includes processing of controlling how many levels of a document element group associated in series with the second document element are displayed on the display screen, in accordance with the type of the relation between the first document element and the second document element.

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

associating a first document element and a second document element different from the first document element with each other by at least one type of relation among a plurality of types of relations; and

in a case where the first document element is changed, performing processing corresponding to the type of relation between the first document element and the second document element, on the second document element.
