First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- operating means;
display means for displaying an item as an object of selection which employs said operating means, and for hierarchically displaying the hysteresis information relevant to display of said item; and
control means for controlling the display and selection of said item in said display means and the hierarchical display and selection of said hysteresis information.

Abstract
A hierarchical hysteresis menu area is such an area in which the hysteresis information from the hysteresis of past operations up to the current hierarchical layer is displayed responsive to an operation on an operating unit and-in which selection by a user is made using the operating unit. As the hierarchy progresses, new rows such as “Top Menu”, “ . . . Menu A”, “ . . . Menu A-1” are created progressively, until the current layer [ . . . menu A-1 “ . . . menu A-1”] is demonstrated as the lowermost layer. Indents and marks are used to denote a hierarchical structure. If a cursor is moved by an operating unit to decide on a certain selected layer, reversion may be made directly to the layer. The current menu area indicates the item of the current layer. A folder mark is displayed for a menu having a further lower item. The current hierarchical layer is indicated in this manner in the operating menu system of a hierarchical structure employing a user interface device.

14. An information processing method comprising:
-
an item/hysteresis displaying step of displaying an item as an object of selection employing an operating unit in a display unit and of hierarchically displaying the hysteresis information relevant to the display of said item in said display unit; and
