Abstract

See full text

An access-history indicating method sequentially records a history of access by a user to a resource object such as a file or a WWW page. In the method, an access history icon that visually represents access-history information is generated and is displayed in the vicinity of the corresponding icon on a desktop screen or in the vicinity of an anchor of a WWW page. The access history icon has an image in which events of accessing the corresponding resource object are displayed on a time base. The image may be displayed by separating the type of access into modification and reference. The user can obtain a visual and intuitive understanding about a history of access to each file and a history of updating each file. The obtained information can be used as an important key for selecting among files and WWW pages.
