An information processing apparatus includes a calculation unit, an information selection unit and an information retrieval unit. The calculation unit calculates a retrieval target level for each information based on time from when the information was stored in the past to the present. The retrieval target level for each information is used to determine as to whether or not each information is set as a retrieval target. The information selection unit selects some of the pieces of information as the retrieval targets based on the retrieval target levels calculated by the calculation unit. The information retrieval unit retrieves the some of the information selected by the information selection unit.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable medium for setting a retrieval target

An information processing unit includes: a display unit detection unit that detects whether an external display unit is connected to the information processing unit; a transmission unit that transmits, to the other information processing units, a fact that the external display unit is connected when the display unit detection unit detects that the external display unit is connected; and a control unit that performs control so that information transmitted from the other information processing units is displayed on the external display unit.

An apparatus for analyzing and displaying usage condition of information. The apparatus analyzes and displays the usage condition outside of an information distributing system by which the information is transmitted; and includes: a usage condition collecting unit that acquires a usage condition information as to the usage condition of the information outside of the information distributing system to be evaluated; and a usage condition displaying unit that displays the usage conditions based on the usage condition information.

Apparatus and method for analyzing and displaying information

In a statistical variable display apparatus, first lengths along a first axis and second lengths along a second axis are determined. The first lengths are respectively allotted to first-type subgroups, and the second lengths are respectively allotted to the second-type subgroups. The apparatus displays the first-type subgroups arranged along the first axis to have the respective first lengths, the second-type subgroups arranged along the second axis to have the respective second lengths, and representations of acquired statistical variables correspondingly to a respective one of the first-type subgroups arranged along the first axis and a respective one of the second-type subgroups arranged along the second axis.

An information processing system has a link information input unit, a link information totaling unit and a network similarity calculating unit. The link information input unit inputs link information indicating links among nodes in networks. The link information totaling unit totals the link information in the respective networks to be compared and determines presence/absence of the links among the nodes or link quantities. The network similarity calculating unit calculates the similarity among the networks based on the sum of the comparison results of the links among all nodes.

An analysis and evaluation apparatus analyzes, for organizations and individuals, the communication content of email, and extracts common words for each organization. The analysis and evaluation apparatus compares common words and concepts for an organization or an individual that is to be evaluated, with common words and concepts for other organizations, and performs an evaluation to determine how they influence the other organizations. Thereafter, the analysis and evaluation apparatus analyzes the usage level whereat the other organizations utilize the organization or individual to be evaluated. And then, based on the usage level and the number of organizations that are influenced by the organization or the individual to be evaluated, the analysis and evaluation apparatus evaluates and ascertains the value of the organization or individual to be evaluated, and analyzes and stores a time-transient change as to how others are influenced.

Evaluation apparatus and evaluation method

A process is described based on activities and dependence relationship between the activities. The dependence relationship is described based on resource and coordination method. An epistemological ground is set corresponding to the domain of the process and other components of the process are described for each epistemological ground. The epistemological grounds are classified according to abstract-concrete relationship, inclusion relationship, cluster relationship, etc., and are retrieved. The activity, dependence relationship, and resource also have classification structures. Setting an epistemological ground or using a global epistemological ground, the activity, dependence relationship, and resource are defined and the process is described and analyzed.
