Abstract

An information processing device includes: a first acquiring unit that acquires user operation information with respect to information in a server, based on a history stored in the server; a second acquiring unit that acquires a user operation history in a user terminal; a first creating unit that creates user behavior information with respect to the information in the server, based on the user operation information acquired by the first acquiring unit and the user operation history acquired by the second acquiring unit; a second creating unit that inquires of the user terminal for the priority level of sample information, and creates a probability table of priority levels of items included in the user behavior information; and an estimating unit that estimates the priority level of the information in the server for the user, based on the user behavior information created by the first creating unit and the priority level probability table created by the second creating unit.

Claims

1. An information processing device comprising:

a first acquiring unit that acquires user operation information with respect to information in a server, based on a history stored in the server;

a second acquiring unit that acquires a user operation history in a user terminal;

a first creating unit that creates user behavior information with respect to the information in the server, based on the user operation information acquired by the first acquiring unit and the user operation history acquired by the second acquiring unit;

a second creating unit that inquires of the user terminal for a priority level of sample information, and creates a probability table of priority levels of items included in the user behavior information; and

an estimating unit that estimates a priority level of the information in the server for the user, based on the user behavior information created by the first creating unit and the priority level probability table created by the second creating unit.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the user behavior information includes data that fall into categories of viewing, communication, sorting, and priority levels.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2, wherein:

the category of viewing includes data concerning items of “

viewing time”

, “

number of viewings”

, and “

attachment viewing”

;

the category of communication includes data concerning items of “

responding” and

“

forwarding”

;

the category of sorting includes data concerning items of “

deleting”

, “

deleting time”

, “

printing”

, “

saving”

, and “

place of saving”

; and

the category of priority levels includes data concerning items of “

viewing order” and

“

viewing time zone”

.

4. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the information in the server is in the form of a document, a drawing, or Web content.

5. The information processing device according to claim 1, wherein the information in the server is a mail stored in the server, and the sample information is a mail received by the user terminal.

6. The information processing device according to claim 5, further comprising:

a holding unit that holds mail sender information, and a mean mail priority level of the sender information that is determined by the mail priority level estimated by the estimating unit with respect to the sender information and the number of mail receptions corresponding to the sender information; and

a document presenting unit that presents information registered in an external device or a memory to the user, when creator information about information stored in the memory is equal to the mail sender information stored in the holding unit, and the mean mail priority level corresponding to the mail sender information is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold value.

7. The information processing device according to claim 6, further comprising

an updating unit that receives the mail priority level estimated by the estimating unit with respect to the sender information, and updates the mean mail priority level stored in the holding unit, based on the received mail priority level and the number of mail receptions corresponding to the sender information.

8. A computer readable recording medium causing a computer to execute a process for information processing, the process comprising:

acquiring user operation information with respect to information in a server, based on a history stored in the server;

acquiring a user operation history in a user terminal;

creating user behavior information with respect to the information in the server, based on the user operation information and the user operation history;

inquiring of the user terminal for a priority level of sample information, and creating a probability table of priority levels of items included in the user behavior information; and

estimating a priority level of the information in the server for the user, based on the user behavior information and the priority level probability table.

9. An information processing method comprising:

acquiring user operation information with respect to information in a server, based on a history stored in the server;

acquiring a user operation history in a user terminal;

creating user behavior information with respect to the information in the server, based on the user operation information and the user operation history;

inquiring of the user terminal for a priority level of sample information, and creating a probability table of priority levels of items included in the user behavior information; and

estimating a priority level of the information in the server for the user, based on the user behavior information and the priority level probability table.
