Information device and window display method
First Claim
1. An information device for displaying a window with a singular semi-maximize button on a screen, the information device comprising:
- a processor configured to;
set a plurality of display regions on the screen of a single display in which the window is capable of being semi-maximized and displayed based on instructions received from a user of the information device, wherein the plurality of display regions are user defined,determine a display region of the plurality of regions, wherein the processor is configured to a) determine the display region in which the window is semi-maximized based on the display position of the window before being semi-maximized, and to b) determine the display position of the window based on center of gravity of the window, wherein the center of gravity of the window is the point representing the center of the window,semi-maximize the window, anddisplay the semi-maximized window in the determined display region in response to the semi-maximize button on the window being activated.

Abstract
An information device includes a controller for controlling the display position and the display size of a window, a semi-maximization instruction receiving part for receiving instructions for semi-maximizing the window, a semi-maximization region setting part for setting a plurality of display regions in which the window can be semi-maximized, and a display region determination part for determining the display region in which the window is semi-maximized. When the semi-maximization instruction receiving part receives the instructions for semi-maximizing the window, the controller allows the window to be enlarged and displayed in the entire area of the display region determined by the display region determination part from the plurality of display regions.
