Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a collection information obtaining unit configured to collect information stored in a plurality of apparatuses so as to obtain collection information assigned to predetermined category groups, and a display controller configured to control display of the collection information. The category groups include first and second category groups. The display controller controls display of an image including a first category group display region which displays categories of the first category group, a second category group display region which displays categories of the second category group, and a content display region which displays concrete content of the collection information which corresponds to one of the categories selected in the first category group and which corresponds to one of the categories selected in the second category group.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. An information processing apparatus, comprising:

a collection information obtaining unit configured to collect information stored in a plurality of apparatuses so as to obtain collection information assigned to predetermined category groups; and

a display controller configured to control display of the collection information,

wherein the category groups include first and second category groups,

wherein the display controller controls display of an image including a first category group display region which displays categories of the first category group, a second category group display region which displays categories of the second category group, and a content display region which displays concrete content of the collection information which corresponds to one of the categories selected in the first category group and which corresponds to one of the categories selected in the second category group, and

wherein the collection information is obtained via Near Field Communication (NFC).

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein a mark specifying the selected category in the first category group and a mark specifying the selected category in the second category group are included in the image displayed by the display controller.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the collection information includes information representing a location, and

the display controller further controls display of an image including a category display region which displays the categories of the first category group or the categories of the second category group, a geographic range display region which displays a geographic range associated with the information on the location included in the collection information, a map display region which displays a map which clearly specifies a position corresponding to the information on the location included in the collection information in the geographic range, and a location oriented content display region which displays concrete content of the collection information which corresponds to the selected category in the first category group or the second category group and which corresponds to the location clearly specified in the map.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the collection information includes information representing a time, and

the display controller further controls display of an image including a category display region which displays the categories of the first category group or the categories of the second category group, a time range display region which displays a time range associated with the information on the time included in the collection information, and a time oriented content display region which displays concrete content of the collection information which corresponds to the selected category in the first category group or the second category group and which includes the information on the time included in the time range.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the content display region displays concrete content of a plurality of collection information items, and

when one of the plurality of collection information items displayed in the content display region is selected, the display controller further displays detail of the selected collection information item.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the detail of the collection information item includes information specifying an apparatus of a transmission source of the collection information item.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the content display region displays concrete content of a plurality of collection information items, and

GUIs used to display functions of utilizing the collection information items are displayed with the concrete content of the plurality of collection information items.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein, when one of the GUIs is operated, a corresponding one of the collection information items in which the concrete content is being displayed with the GUI is registered in a scheduler.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein when one of the GUIs is operated, a corresponding one of the collection information items in which the concrete content is being displayed with the GUI is posted to social media.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8, wherein, when one of the GUIs is operated, information specifying content of the operation and feedback information including information specifying a user of the information processing apparatus are transmitted through a network.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the collection information includes information representing user attributes,

the collection information obtaining unit further obtains collection information selected in accordance with the attributes, and

the display controller further controls display of an image including a region which displays the collection information selected in accordance with the attributes.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the display controller further controls display of an image including a region which displays information associated with collection information obtained by information processing apparatuses of other users.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

the collection information is categorized according to transmission sources in the first category group, and
