Abstract

An example information-processing device that includes: a first registering unit that registers, in accordance with an operation performed by a user, a link data set indicating a specific data set, a specifying unit that specifies a status of use of a link data set registered by the first registering unit or a status of use of a specific data set indicated by a link data set registered by the first registering unit, and a second registering unit that registers at least one of a plurality of link data sets registered by the first registering unit based on a status of use specified by the specifying unit.

Claims

1. An information-processing device comprising:

a first registering unit that registers, in accordance with an operation performed by a user, a link data set to access a specific data set;

a specifying unit that specifies a status of use of a link data set registered by the first registering unit or a status of use of a specific data set indicated by a link data set registered by the first registering unit; and

a second registering unit that registers at least one of a plurality of link data sets registered by the first registering unit based on a status of use specified by the specifying unit.

2. An information-processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a display control unit that controls a display unit to display a first list containing one or more link data sets registered by the first registering unit and a second list containing one or more link data sets registered by the second registering unit.

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

the display control unit controls the display unit to display the first list and the second list in different styles from each other or on different screens from each other.

4. The information-processing device according to claim 2, wherein

link data sets contained in the first list are determined in accordance with operations made by the user, and

link data sets contained in the second list are determined by the second registering unit without any operation being performed by the user to select the link data sets.

5. The information-processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

an access unit that accesses a data set identified by a link data set selected from among link data sets contained in the first list or in the second list in accordance with an operation performed by the user.

6. The information-processing device according to claim 1, wherein

the specifying unit specifies at least one of a timing of use of a link data set contained in the first list or a data set identified by a link data set contained in the first list, or a number of times of use of a link data set contained in the first list, or a data set identified by a link data set contained in the first list, and

the second registering unit registers link data sets based on at least one of the timing of use specified by the specifying unit and the number of times of use specified by the specifying unit.

7. The information-processing device according to claim 6, wherein

the specifying unit determines an evaluation value of a link data set by weighting the number of times of use based on the timing of use of the link data or the data set, and

the second registering unit registers link data sets based on the evaluation value determined by the specifying unit.

8. The information-processing device according to claim 7, wherein

the second registering unit registers link data sets so that link data sets registered by the second registering unit are displayed in a descending order according to at least one of the timing of use, the number of times of use, and the evaluation value.

9. The information-processing device according to claim 1, further comprising:

a designating unit that designates one or more link data sets registered by the first registering unit in accordance with an operation performed by the user;

wherein

the second registering unit registers link data sets from among link data sets that are registered by the first registering unit and that are not designated by the designating unit.

10. The information-processing device according to claim 1, wherein

link data sets registered by the first registering unit or the second registering unit are data sets indicating hyperlinks.

11. The information-processing device according to claim 1, wherein

link data sets registered by the first registering unit or the second registering unit are data sets indicating soft links.

12. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program causing a computer to execute:

registering, in accordance with an operation made by a user, link data sets each of which indicates a specific data set;

specifying a status of use of each of the registered link data sets or a status of use of each of the specific data sets indicated by the registered link data sets;

registering one or more of the registered link data sets as selected link data sets based on the specified statuses;

displaying the registered link data sets and the selected link data sets; and

executing, when a link data set is selected from the displayed link data sets in accordance with an operation made by the user, a processing identified by the link data set selected in accordance with an operation made by the user.

13. An information-processing system comprising:

a first registering unit that registers, in accordance with an operation performed by a user, link data sets each of which indicates a specific data set;

a specifying unit that specifies a status of use of each of the link data sets registered by the first registering unit or a status of use of each of the specific data sets indicated by the link data sets registered by the first registering unit;

a second registering unit that registers one or more of the link data sets registered by the first registering unit based on the statuses specified by the specifying unit;

a first display unit that displays the link data sets registered by the first registering unit;

a second display unit that displays the link data sets registered by the second registering unit; and

a processing execution unit that, when a link data set is selected from the link data sets displayed by the first display unit or the second display unit in accordance with an operation performed by the user, executes a processing identified by the link data set selected in accordance with an operation made by the user.

14. An information-processing method comprising:

registering, in accordance with an operation made by a user, link data sets each of which indicates a specific data set;

specifying a status of use of each of the registered link data sets or a status of use of each of the specific data sets indicated by the registered link data sets;

registering one or more of the registered link data sets as selected link data sets based on the specified statuses;

displaying the registered link data sets and the selected link data sets; and

executing, when a link data set is selected from the displayed link data sets in accordance with an operation made by the user, a processing identified by the link data set selected in accordance with an operation performed by the user.
