First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- circuitry configured tocontrol a display to display a screen, the screen including an input area, a first icon and a second icon that are associated with the input area, a first display area associated with the first icon and a second display area associated with the second icon;
accept, through the input area, a text input or a multimedia object input;
execute a search operation in response to selection of the first icon based on the text input or the multimedia object input by transmitting a request to a first server;
display a search result of the search operation in the first display area and retain the text input or the multimedia object input in the input area upon receiving the search result from the first server;
accept, in the input area, a multimedia object through a drag and drop operation of the multimedia object from the search result of the search operation displayed in the first display area;
execute a post operation on social media of the multimedia object accepted in the input area through the drag and drop operation in response to selection of the second icon by transmitting a request to a second server;
display a result of the post operation, including the text input or the multimedia object input in the input area, in the second display area along with existing posts of other users and clear the input area upon receiving the result of the post operation from the second server,whereinthe search result of the search operation in the first display area continues to be displayed with the displayed result of the posting operation in the second display area;
accept, in the input area, a second multimedia object through a drag and drop operation of the second multimedia object from the second display area;
execute a second search operation in response to selection of the first icon based on the second multimedia object by transmitting a request to the first server; and
display a second search result of the second search operation in the first display area.

13. An information processing method performed by an information processing apparatus including circuitry, the method comprising:
-
controlling, by the circuitry, a display to display a screen, the screen including an input area, a first icon and a second icon that are associated with the input area, a first display area associated with the first icon and a second display area associated with the second icon; accepting, by the circuitry through the input area, a text input or a multimedia object input; executing, by the circuitry, a search operation in response to selection of the first icon based on the text input or the multimedia object input by transmitting a request to a first server; displaying, by the circuitry, a search result of the search operation in the first display area and retaining the text input or the multimedia object input in the input area upon receiving the search result from the first server; accepting, by the circuitry, in the input area, a multimedia object through a drag and drop operation of the multimedia object from the search result of the search operation displayed in the first display area; executing, by the circuitry, a post operation on social media of the multimedia object accepted in the input area through the drag and drop operation in response to selection of the second icon by transmitting a request to a second server; displaying, by the circuitry, a result of the post operation, including the text input or the multimedia object input in the input area, in the second display area along with existing posts of other users and clearing the input area upon receiving the result of the post operation from the second server, wherein the search result of the search operation in the first display area continues to be displayed with the displayed result of the posting operation in the second display area; accepting, in the input area, a second multimedia object through a drag and drop operation of the second multimedia object from the second display area; executing a second search operation in response to selection of the first icon based on the second multimedia object by transmitting a request to the first server; and displaying a second search result of the second search operation in the first display area. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
