Method and system for classification sign display
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured toaccept an instructing operation to display a list including a plurality of items classified and ordered into classifications on the basis of a predetermined rule,cause a display to display a part of the list in accordance with the accepted instructing operation, andcause the display to display a classification sign display bar including classification signs representing the predetermined rule for each of the classifications ordered on the basis of the predetermined rule,wherein the circuitry controls a display state of the classification sign display bar so that an area including classification signs corresponding to items of the plurality of items which are contained in the list displayed on the display is displayed in a mode different from a display mode of an area including classification signs other than the classification signs, and causes the display to display the predetermined rule in an uppermost area of the display and separate from the part of the list and the classification sign display bar,the predetermined rule comprises sorting according to notes information added by a user to the items such that the items are not sorted in dictionary order, the notes information being assigned to and stored for each of the plurality of items individually and comprising bookmarks, highlights, and comments arbitrarily added by the user with regard to said each of the items, the notes information being of a plurality of types,the classification signs comprise graphical representations of the types of the notes information, andthe circuitry is configured to store a table listing the items and, for each of the items, one of the classification signs associated with said each of the items.

16. A display control method comprising:
-
causing a display circuit to display a part of a list including a plurality of items classified and ordered into classifications on the basis of a predetermined rule; causing the display circuit to display a classification sign display bar including classification signs representing the predetermined rule for each of the classifications ordered on the basis of the predetermined rule; controlling a display state of the classification sign display bar so that an area including classification signs corresponding to items of the plurality of items which are contained in the list displayed on the display circuit, and an area including classification signs other than the classification signs are displayed in different modes; causing the display circuit to display the predetermined rule in an uppermost area of the display circuit and separate from the part of the list and the classification sign display bar, wherein the predetermined rule comprises sorting according to notes information added by a user to the items such that the items are not sorted in dictionary order, the notes information being assigned to and stored for each of the plurality of items individually and comprising bookmarks, highlights, and comments arbitrarily added by the user with regard to said each of the items, the notes information being of a plurality of types, the classification signs comprise graphical representations of the types of the notes information, and a table is stored listing the items and, for each of the items, one of the classification signs associated with said each of the items.
