Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes: a processor configured to: acquire a message for another person that a requester has input when requesting the other person to register a document in a specific storage location of a storage device; if the other person registers the document, which the requester has requested to register, in the storage location, associate at least one element of the message with the registered document; and upon receiving a search for a document with a search term from the requester, search for and output a document associated with an element, including the search term, of the at least one element of the message.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor configured to:
acquire a message for a registrant that is input by a requester who is different from the registrant, the message requesting the registrant to register a document in a specific storage location of a storage device, the message including a link to the specific storage location of the storage device;
upon display of the message to the registrant and selection of the link by the registrant, acquire information of the document to be registered from the registrant;
upon determining that the registrant registers the document as requested in the message from the requester, associate at least one element of the message with the registered document, the at least one element of the message including a part of the message that was input by the requester before the document was uploaded via the link; and
upon receiving a search request for a document with a search term that includes the part of the message, display the document as a search result even when the information of the document acquired from the registrant does not include the part of the message, and even when the document is moved to a different storage location from the specific storage location associated with the link.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is configured to:
if the requester collectively requests a plurality of registrants to register respective documents using the message commonly sent to the plurality of the registrants, associate the at least one element of the common message with each of the respective documents which the plurality of registrants have respectively registered using the link.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the processor is configured to register each of the respective documents, which have been collectively requested to be registered using the common message including the link, in the specific storage location.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the processor is configured to, even if the requester has moved one or more of the respective documents registered in the specific storage location to another storage location, not change the at least one element of the common message associated with the one or more of the respective documents.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the link associated with the specific storage location does not change in the message input by the requester, even when the document is moved to the different storage location from the specific storage location associated with the link.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the at least one element of the message with the registered document in a form designated by the requester.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the at least one element of the common message with each of the registered documents in a form designated by the requester.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the at least one element of the common message with each of the registered documents in a form designated by the requester.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the at least one element of the common message with each of the registered documents in a form designated by the requester.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the at least one element of the common message with each of the registered documents in a form designated by the requester.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the entire message with the registered document as the at least one element of the message.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the entire common message with each of the registered documents as the at least one element of the message.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the entire common message with each of the registered documents as the at least one element of the message.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the entire common message with each of the registered documents as the at least one element of the message.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the entire common message with each of the registered documents as the at least one element of the message.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate a word or phrase extracted from the message with the registered document as the at least one element of the message.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate a word or phrase extracted from the common message with each of the registered documents as the at least one element of the message.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate an element that the requester has selected from among elements extracted from the message, with the registered document.

19. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is configured to associate the document with identification information that identifies the registrant who has registered the document.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute information processing, the information processing comprising:
acquiring a message for a registrant that is input by a requester who is different from the registrant, the message requesting the registrant to register a document in a specific storage location of a storage device, the message including a link to the specific storage location of the storage device;
upon display of the message to the registrant and selection of the link by the registrant, acquiring information of the document to be registered from the registrant;
upon determining that the registrant registers the document as requested in the message from the requester, associating at least one element of the message with the registered document, the at least one element of the message including a part of the message that was input by the requester before the document was uploaded via the link; and
upon receiving a search request for a document with a search term that includes the part of the message, displaying the document as a search result even when the information of the document acquired from the registrant does not include the part of the message, and even when the document is moved to a different storage location from the specific storage location associated with the link.
