Abstract:
An apparatus for processing messages input from a plurality of clients. The apparatus includes an acquisition unit configured to obtain a first message input from a first client, a second message input from a second client, and a user selection input from the second client. The user selection is of a first portion of the first message and indicates that the second message is a comment on the first portion of the first message. The apparatus also includes a control unit in communication with the acquisition unit. The control unit is configured to perform a first control action in response to the acquisition unit obtaining the first message, the second message, and the user selection. The first control action results in the first message, the second message, and a first link connecting the first portion of the first message and the second message being displayed on the plurality of clients.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for processing messages input from a plurality of clients, comprising:\n obtaining a first message input from a first client; obtaining a second message input from a second client, wherein the second message is a comment on a first portion of the first message; obtaining, in response to a user of the second client selecting the portion of the first message, an association of the second message with a portion of the first message; displaying, to the plurality of clients and in response to the second message being input, at least one copy of the first message, and at least one copy of the second message; creating, in response to obtaining the association of the second message with the portion of the first message, a link-destination-message value and a link-source-keyword value, wherein the link-destination-message value indicates that the second message is a link destination and the link-source-keyword value indicates that the first portion of the first message is a link target; storing the link-destination-message value and link-source-keyword value in a message-information storage section; and displaying, to the plurality of clients and based on the link-destination-message value and link-source-keyword value, a first link that connects the at least one copy of the second message to the first portion of the at least one copy of the first message, wherein the link comprises:\n a first link end, the location of which is determined by a location of the link target; \n a second link end, the location of which is determined by a location of the link destination; and \n a line connecting the first link end to the second link end; \n wherein the first message and the second message are instant messages.
