Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, when an electronic data item is created, attach positional information to the electronic data item and present the electronic data item, in a virtual space representing a real space, at a location indicated by the attached positional information.

Claims (59)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

when an electronic document is created, attach positional information to the electronic document;

present the electronic document, in a virtual space representing a real space, at a location indicated by the attached positional information;

when the electronic document presented at the location is a plurality of items, change a presentation mode of the plurality of items depending on a count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached;

present a first image when the count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached is determined to be less than a predetermined threshold; and

present a second image when the count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to attach the positional information, as virtual positional information, to the electronic document based on an instruction to place the electronic document at a specified location in the virtual space, and

wherein the attached virtual positional information indicates the specified location in the virtual space.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to, if a permission is required to place the electronic document at the specified location, report contact information of an administrator who manages the specified location.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to attach the positional information to the electronic document upon a determination that the instruction has been given by a user authorized to place the electronic document at the specified location.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to authorize the user to place the electronic document at the specified location upon a determination that the user has viewed an advertisement.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to receive a setting of an authority required for viewing the electronic document, and

wherein the processor is configured not to present the electronic document in the virtual space to a user who does not have the required authority.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

determine whether the instruction has been received within a predetermined time period in which placement of the electronic document at the specified location is allowed, and

attach the virtual positional information to the electronic document upon a determination that the instruction has been received within the predetermined time period.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to present the electronic document in the virtual space by using augmented reality.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,

wherein the virtual space is a displayed visual image of the real space captured by a camera, and

wherein the processor is configured to present the electronic document on the visual image.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the processor is configured to perform a process on the electronic document in accordance with an operation on the visual image.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the virtual space is a displayed map of the real space, and

wherein the processor is configured to present the electronic document on the map.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to present, in the virtual space, guiding information leading to the location indicated by the attached positional information.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to change a presentation mode of the electronic document in accordance with an amount of time that has passed after placement of the electronic document.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive an edit of the attached positional information, and

present the electronic document, in the virtual space, at a location indicated by the edited positional information.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to remove the electronic document from the virtual space in response to the electronic document being stored on an apparatus other than the information processing apparatus.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electronic document is a computer program with which to operate a computer.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electronic document is created by a word processing application, a spreadsheet application, or a presentation application.

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

when an electronic document is created, attaching positional information to the electronic document; and

presenting the electronic document, in a virtual space representing a real space, at a location indicated by the attached positional information;

when the electronic document presented at the location is a plurality of items, changing a presentation mode of the plurality of items depending on a count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached;

presenting a first image when the count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached is determined to be less than a predetermined threshold; and

presenting a second image when the count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold.

19. An information processing apparatus comprising:

means for attaching, when an electronic document is created, positional information to the electronic document;

means for presenting the electronic document, in a virtual space representing a real space, at a location indicated by the attached positional information;

when the electronic document presented at the location is a plurality of items, means for changing a presentation mode of the plurality of items depending on a count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached;

means for presenting a first image when the count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached is determined to be less than a predetermined threshold; and

means for presenting a second image when the count of the plurality of items to which the same positional information is attached is determined to be greater than or equal to the predetermined threshold.
