1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

  • a touch sensor configured to detect an interaction position of a manipulation body on a display screen; and

    processing circuitry configured to;

    enable a user to pre-select at least (i) a first set of application icons corresponding to a first set of applications that are frequently used when the user is at first destination, the first set of applications including at least a calendar application, (ii) a second set of application icons corresponding to a second set of applications that are frequently used when the user is at a second destination, the second set of applications including at least internet application, and (iii) a third set of application icons corresponding to a third set of applications that are frequently used when the user is at a third destination, the third set of applications including at least a music application;

    store, in a memory, a plurality of sets of user-pre-selected applications icons including the at least the first, second, and third set of application icons, each set of the user pre-selected application icons being associated with a location of the information processing apparatus;

    operate in a locked screen state of the information processing apparatus, the locked screen state being a state in which user manipulations other than a predetermined manipulation are invalidated;

    response to a detection of a first manipulation of the manipulation body on the display screen is detected in the locked screen state, acquire position information of a current location of the information processing apparatus from a global positioning system (GPS), identify, in the locked screen state, a set of user-pre-selected application icons from the plurality of sets of user-pre-selected application icons based on the acquired position information from the GPS, the identified set of user-pre-selected application icons corresponding to the current location of the information processing apparatus, and cause, in the locked screen state, a display of the identified set of user-pre-selected application icons on the display screen; and

    in case, subsequently to the first manipulation, a second manipulation of the manipulation body to select one of the identified set of user-pre-selected application icons is detected within a predetermined period of time, start up an application corresponding to the selected one of the identified set of user-pre-selected application icons.
