Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a storage section and a control section. The storage section stores a plurality of templates having different predetermined designs with template attribute information, the plurality of templates each being applied to a display of a content including at least one of a document and an image with the content being laid out on the template. The control section performs a matching processing of component information, as a search key, of the content with the template attribute information, and selects, as a template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, a template whose template attribute information has a higher match rate than others.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a storage section to store a plurality of templates with template attribute information, the plurality of templates having different predetermined designs and each being applied to a display of a content including at least one of a document and an image with the content being laid out on the template; and

a control section to perform a matching processing of component information, as a search key, of the content with the template attribute information, and select, as a template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, a template whose template attribute information has a higher match rate than others.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the control section extracts a search keyword from document information included in the content, performs the matching processing of the extracted search keyword with data included in the template attribute information, and selects, as the template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, the template whose template attribute information has the higher match rate than the others.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the control section extracts metadata of the image included in the content, performs the matching processing of the extracted metadata with data included in the template attribute information, and selects, as the template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, the template whose template attribute information has the higher match rate than the others.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the metadata of the image is image-taking date and time information of the image included in the content, and

wherein the control section performs the matching processing of the image-taking date and time information with the data included in the template attribute information, and selects, as the template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, the template whose attribute information is judged to be one of the same image-taking date and time information and a similar image-taking date and time information.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3,

wherein the metadata of the image is image-taking positional information of the image included in the content, and

wherein the control section performs the matching processing of the image-taking positional information with the data included in the template attribute information, and selects, as the template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, the template whose attribute information is judged to be one of the same image-taking positional information and a similar image-taking positional information.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1,

the information processing apparatus being a relay server for a message that is transmitted and received among a plurality of communication apparatuses,

wherein the control section performs the matching processing of the component information, as the search key, of the message received from a message transmission apparatus with the template attribute information, selects, as the template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, the template whose template attribute information has the higher match rate than the others, and provides, to a message reception apparatus, display data in a form of a post card in which the component information of the message is laid out on the selected template.

7. An information processing method executed in an information processing apparatus, comprising:

selecting, by a control section, a template to be applied to a display of a content including at least one of a document and an image with the content being laid out on the template, the template having a predetermined design,

the selecting the template including

extracting a search key from component information of the content,

performing a matching processing of the search key with template attribute information, and

selecting, as a template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, a template whose template attribute information has a higher match rate than others in the matching processing.

8. A program for causing an information processing apparatus to execute an information processing, the program comprising:

causing a control section to select a template to be applied to a display of a content including at least one of a document and an image with the content being laid out on the template, the template having a predetermined design,

the causing the control section to select the template including

extracting a search key from component information of the content,

performing a matching processing of the search key with template attribute information, and

selecting, as a template corresponding to the content to be applied to the display of the content, a template whose template attribute information has a higher match rate than others in the matching processing.
