Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to, when executing software that is capable of displaying electronic information including at least one of a document and an image so that the electronic information is displayed, display the electronic information in an aspect that matches at least one of a use state of the electronic information and environmental information indicating environment around a place where the electronic information is displayed.

Claims (34)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

when executing software that is capable of displaying electronic information including at least one of a document and an image so that the electronic information is displayed, display the electronic information in an aspect that matches at least one of a use state of the electronic information and environmental information indicating environment around a place where the electronic information is displayed.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the use state of the electronic information includes at least one of the number of browsing times that the electronic information has been browsed, the number of transfer times that the electronic information has been transferred, and the number of duplication times that the electronic information has been duplicated, and

wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where the use state of the electronic information exceeds a predetermined threshold, display the electronic information to which predetermined additional information has been added.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined threshold includes a plurality of levels of thresholds, and

wherein the processor is configured to, as the level of the threshold exceeded increases, increase a degree to which the aspect of the electronic information to be displayed is changed from an aspect before the additional information is added.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display the electronic information to which acquisition information has been added, the acquisition information matching a result of acquisition by an acquisition unit that acquires at least one of the use state of the electronic information and the environmental information.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display the electronic information to which acquisition information has been added, the acquisition information matching a result of acquisition by an acquisition unit that acquires at least one of the use state of the electronic information and the environmental information.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to display the electronic information to which acquisition information has been added, the acquisition information matching a result of acquisition by an acquisition unit that acquires at least one of the use state of the electronic information and the environmental information.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to, by adding the acquisition information, change an aspect of the entire electronic information to be displayed from an aspect before the acquisition information is added.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to, by adding the acquisition information, change an aspect of the entire electronic information to be displayed from an aspect before the acquisition information is added.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to, by adding the acquisition information, change an aspect of the entire electronic information to be displayed from an aspect before the acquisition information is added.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to, by adding the acquisition information, change an aspect of part of the electronic information to be displayed from an aspect before the acquisition information is added.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the processor is configured to, by adding the acquisition information, change an aspect of part of the electronic information to be displayed from an aspect before the acquisition information is added.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is configured to, by adding the acquisition information, change an aspect of part of the electronic information to be displayed from an aspect before the acquisition information is added.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to, when the environmental information is generated on a display for displaying the electronic information, change the degree to which the aspect of the electronic information to be displayed is changed from the aspect before the acquisition information is added, in accordance with a position on the display at which the environmental information is generated.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the processor is configured to change the degree of change in accordance with a locus of the environmental information starting from an initial position to an end position on the display at which the environmental information is generated, as positions on the display at which the environmental information is generated.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to change the degree to which the aspect of the electronic information to be displayed is changed from the aspect before the acquisition information is added, in accordance with at least one of acquisition times of the use state of the electronic information and the environmental information by the acquisition unit.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where the result of the acquisition includes a plurality of results, display the electronic information while providing priority to an aspect corresponding to a result whose predetermined priority level is high.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electronic information is an electronic book, and

wherein the processor is configured to

acquire presence or absence of advertising as the environmental information regarding the electronic book, and

in a case where there is the advertising, display the electronic book to which advertising information that matches the advertising has been added.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to, in a case where an aspect of the electronic information to be displayed is changed in accordance with at least one of the use state of the electronic information and the environmental information, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, return the aspect of the electronic information to be displayed to an aspect before the change is made.

19 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 18 , wherein a change of the aspect of the electronic information includes a reversible change in which return to the aspect before the change is made is possible in a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied and an irreversible change in which return to the aspect before the change is made is not possible even in a case where the predetermined condition is satisfied.

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

when executing software that is capable of displaying electronic information including at least one of a document and an image so that the electronic information is displayed, displaying the electronic information in an aspect that matches at least one of a use state of the electronic information and environmental information indicating environment around a place where the electronic information is displayed.
