Abstract

See full text

History information indicating a history of how respective items of help information have been displayed in a data processing apparatus is formed and stored. A function of outputting a list of the history information is provided. A center data processing apparatus collects, via a communications network, such history information from one or many user data processing apparatuses which the center apparatus manages. This collection is achieved either in response to the center apparatus sending a request or by a function of each user apparatus such that each user apparatus automatically sends the history information to the center apparatus periodically. The thus-collected history information is integrated and thus numbers of times of display of help information are summed for every item of history information or for every item of operation guidance information. Instead, the thus-collected history information may be individually stored.
