Abstract
An information processing apparatus (10) includes an LCD (12) as a first display area and an LCD (14) as a second display area, and on the second display area, a touch panel (22) as an input means is set, for example. On the first display area, a plurality of windows are displayed in an overlapping manner or only the top window is displayed, and on the second display area, a plurality of tabs which are respectively corresponded to a plurality of windows are displayed. When it is determined that a predetermined input is present on a tab on the basis of the coordinates data detected according to an operation via the touch panel, a window corresponding to the tab which was displayed on the top on the first display area is displayed on the second display area. Or, an inactive window corresponding to the tab is displayed on the second display area.
