Abstract
In an information processing apparatus, a job log recording unit generates a job log that is a history of operations and settings based on user's operation. An operation/setting sequence extraction unit extracts a sequence by extracting job logs constituting a series of operations and/or settings. Of extracted sequences, a sequence for which an operation/setting sequence frequency/resemblance detection unit detects that the sequence has a predetermined frequency or a predetermined degree of resemblance, namely a sequence of operation repeatedly performed, is presented to the user by an operation/setting sequence presentation/registration unit for registration of the sequence by user's operation. Subsequently, in the information processing apparatus, a registered sequence is selected for automatically performing a series of operations and/or settings.
