Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The processor is configured to display a portion of a first document on a display based on history stored in the memory and a first attribute specified by a user. The history associates a previous document type of a previously displayed document with a previous attribute that was previously attached to the previously displayed document and a previous portion of the previously displayed document that was being displayed when the previous attribute was attached to the previously displayed document.

Claims (32)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to:

memorize a portion of a document associated with a document type of the document and an attribute attached to the document, the portion was being displayed when the attribute was inputted to the displayed document by user, and

a processor configured to:

receive a selection of a first attribute from a user, in an appending region other than a region of a first document,

display a first portion of the first document, when the selection is received, the first portion is memorized with a first document type of the first document and the first attribute of the first document,

wherein the portion comprises a plurality of character regions comprising information that is capable of serving to reproduce a display state of the portion, the first portion is a desired character region among the plurality of character regions,

wherein the document type is a category of a plurality of documents having the same format, the format comprises a form, a template, or a pattern of the plurality of documents.

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

add, to the memory, information on the first document to associate the first portion of the first document that was being displayed, when the selection is received, with the first document type of the first document and the first attribute of the first document.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first portion of the first document is displayed within a preview region representing a specific position and a specific magnification of the first document.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the attribute is information appended to the document without changing a content of the document.

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

memorizing a portion of a document associated with a document type of the document and an attribute attached to the document, the portion was being displayed when the attribute was inputted to the displayed document by user,

receiving a selection of a first attribute from a user, in an appending region other than a region of a first document,

displaying a first portion of the first document, when the selection is received, the first portion is memorized with a first document type of the first document and the first attribute of the first document,

wherein the portion comprises a plurality of character regions comprising information that is capable of serving to reproduce a display state of the portion, the first portion is a desired character region among the plurality of character regions,

wherein the document type is a category of a plurality of documents having the same format, the format comprises a form, a template, or a pattern of the plurality of documents.

8. An information processing method comprising:

memorizing a portion of a document associated with a document type of the document and an attribute attached to the document, the portion was being displayed when the attribute was inputted to the displayed document by user,

receiving a selection of a first attribute from a user, in an appending region other than a region of a first document,

displaying a first portion of the first document, when the selection is received, the first portion is memorized with a first document type of the first document and the first attribute of the first document,

wherein the portion comprises a plurality of character regions comprising information that is capable of serving to reproduce a display state of the portion, the first portion is a desired character region among the plurality of character regions,
