Abstract
An information processing system and method using a file storage unit which stores electronic information and a display unit which displays the electronic information. A discrimination unit discriminates each of a plurality of physical objects indicated by a user. An attribute discrimination unit discriminates changeable attribute information of the physical objects. A link storage unit stores link information designating a correspondence between each of the physical objects and a respective corresponding portion of the electronic information stored in the storage unit. A file operation unit performs a plurality of operations, including: (a) changing an appearance of the electronic information on the display when the electronic information displayed is the corresponding portion of the electronic information which corresponds to at least one of the physical objects; (b) performing different or additional operations on the corresponding portion of the electronic information which corresponds to at least one of the physical objects when the corresponding portion of the electronic information is manipulated; and (c) changing attributes of the corresponding portion of the electronic information which corresponds to at least one of the physical objects when the changeable attribute information of at least one of the physical objects is changed.
