Abstract

An information processor includes an operation history obtaining unit configured to obtain operation histories created user operations at a terminal device; a function identifying unit configured to, based on the obtained operation histories, identify a function performed by the user operations as an operation target function; an operation extracting unit configured to, based on information about the operation target function identified by the function identifying unit, extract predetermined operation histories from the obtained operation histories; an index calculating unit configured to calculate an index which indicates a level of efficiency of the operations for the operation histories extracted by the operation extracting unit; an operation selecting unit configured to, based on the index, select the operation histories having a predetermined efficiency; and an output controller configured to output a guide information based on the operation histories selected by the operation selecting unit.

Claims

1. An information processor comprising:

an operation history obtaining unit configured to obtain operation histories created by user operations at a terminal device;

a function identifying unit configured to, based on the obtained operation histories, identify a function performed by the user operations as an operation target function;

an operation extracting unit configured to, based on information about the operation target function identified by the function identifying unit, extract predetermined operation histories from the obtained operation histories;

an index calculating unit configured to calculate an index which indicates a level of efficiency of the operations for the operation histories extracted by the operation extracting unit;

an operation selecting unit configured to, based on the index, select the operation histories having a predetermined efficiency; and

an output controller configured to output a guide information based on the operation histories selected by the operation selecting unit.

2. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein

the operation histories obtained by the operation history obtaining unit include address information of memory space in which results of the user operations are stored, and

the function identifying unit is further configured to refer to a function address information indicating a correspondence relationship between addresses of the memory space and the functions to identify a function corresponding to the address information of the memory space included in the obtained operation histories as the operation target function.

3. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein

the operation extracting unit is further configured to extract a plurality of the operation histories having the same operation target function,

the index calculating unit is further configured to calculate the index for each of the plurality of the extracted operation histories, and

the operation selecting unit is further configured to select, from among the operation histories for which the indices are calculated, the operation histories having the index to be relatively higher.

4. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein,

the operation selecting unit is further configured to set a condition for the index for specifying the predetermined efficiency based on the index for the operation histories of the user of the terminal device to which the guide information is to be sent from the output controller, and select the operation histories with the index matching with the set condition.

5. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein

the operation history obtaining unit is further configured to obtain the operation histories of a plurality of the users, and

the output controller is further configured to output different types of the guide information depending on whether or not an index of the operation history of the user of the terminal device to which the guide information is to be sent is higher than indicies of the operation histories of other users.

6. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein

the operation history includes operation input information indicating operation details input by the user operations at the terminal device,

the index calculating unit is further configured to calculate the index based on the operation input information of the operation histories extracted by the operation extracting unit, and

the output controller is further configured to output the operation input information included in the selected operation histories as the guide information.

7. The information processor according to claim 6, wherein,

the index calculating unit is further configured to calculate the index based on the operation input information indicating at least one of an operation time of the user, an input count of an input unit of the terminal device by the user, and a movement amount of a pointer of the terminal device.

8. The information processor according to claim 1, wherein the index calculating unit is further configured to calculate, as the index, at least one of an operation amount indicating an extent of the operations required by the user until an operation result is stored and a power consumption of the terminal device required until the operation result is stored.

9. An information processing method comprising:

obtaining operation histories created by user operations at a terminal device;

identifying a function performed by the user operations as an operation target function based on the obtained operation histories;

extracting predetermined operation histories from the obtained operation histories based on information about the operation target function identified by the function identifying unit;

calculating an index which indicates a level of efficiency of the operations for the operation histories extracted by the operation extracting unit;

selecting the operation histories having a predetermined efficiency based on the index; and

outputting a guide information based on the operation histories selected at the selecting.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that store a computer program for causing a computer to execute:

obtaining operation histories created by user operations at a terminal device;

identifying a function performed by the user operations as an operation target function based on the obtained operation histories;

extracting predetermined operation histories from the obtained operation histories based on information about the operation target function identified by the function identifying unit;

calculating an index which indicates a level of efficiency of the operations for the operation histories extracted by the operation extracting unit;

selecting the operation histories having a predetermined efficiency based on the index; and

outputting a guide information based on the operation histories selected at the selecting.
