Abstract:
1. A trail management method using a process section to acquire and manage contents of an operation performed by a user in a computer having an operation function comprising a document transcription function, wherein the process section acquires operation information including: wherein the process section stores the acquired operation information in chronological data, searches for the chronological data in accordance with a search condition for searching for the chronological data, and outputs a searched result; wherein the operation function of the computer comprise a change function for a document; wherein, when the user performs a change operation, the process section acquires change operation information as the operation information; wherein the change operation information includes: wherein the computer comprise an operation changeover function for changing an active window that displays a document; wherein, when the user performs a changeover operation on an active window, the process section acquires and stores time to perform the changeover operation, document specification information for specifying a document displayed on a window screen being active before the changeover operation, location specification information for specifying a location displayed on the document, and a value given to the location; wherein, when the user performs a change operation, the process section acquires time to perform the change operation and a changed value resulting from the change operation, calculates a score for each of the stored locations based on likelihood as a character string between a value given to the location and the changed value and based on a time interval between time to perform the changeover operation for storing the location and time to perform the change operation, and assumes the change operation to be a visual transcription operation performed by the user when a highest score is given to one of all the stored locations and the highest score is greater than or equal to a threshold value; and wherein the process section acquires the operation information assuming that:
