when the display mechanism is changed from the closed state to the open state, determine whether personal information or secret information is included in the second displayed content that had not been displayed on the first screen; and

when a determination is made that personal information or secret information is included in the second displayed content that had not been displayed on the first screen, execute a display process of lowering a visibility of at least the second displayed content on the second screen.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

when the display mechanism displaying first displayed content on the first screen in the closed state changes to the open state, the processor is configured to control the display mechanism to display second displayed content that includes the first displayed content on the second screen, and

the display process of lowering the visibility is a process of lowering the visibility of the second displayed content displayed on the second screen.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein

the display process of lowering the visibility is a process of superimposing a first image that lowers the visibility onto the second displayed content displayed on the second screen.

4. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the first image is a translucent image.

5. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to recognize a touch operation performed by a user on the second screen onto which the first image is superimposed as an operation directed at a spot treated as a target of the touch operation among the second displayed content visible through the first image.

6. The information processing device according claim 3 , wherein

a setting of a display state of the first image is received by an operation directed at the first image.

7. The information processing device according claim 4 , wherein

a setting of a display state of the first image is received by an operation directed at the first image.

8. The information processing device according claim 5 , wherein

a setting of a display state of the first image is received by an operation directed at the first image.

9. The information processing device according to claim 3 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the first image according to the second displayed content.

10. The information processing device according to claim 4 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the first image according to the second displayed content.

11. The information processing device according to claim 5 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the first image according to the second displayed content.

the processor is configured to control the first image according to the second displayed content.

14. The information processing device according to claim 8 , wherein

the processor is configured to control the first image according to the second displayed content.

15. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

a condition for executing the display process of lowering the visibility is settable, and

when the display mechanism in the closed state changes to the open state, the processor is configured to:

execute the display process of lowering the visibility if the condition is satisfied, and not execute the display process of lowering the visibility if the condition is not satisfied;

receive, from a user, a setting that enables or disables the display process of lowering the visibility; and

in a case where the setting that disables the display process of lowering the visibility is set, not execute the display process of lowering the visibility even if the condition is satisfied.

16. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

a condition for executing the display process of lowering the visibility is settable, and

when the display mechanism in the closed state changes to the open state, the processor is configured to:

execute the display process of lowering the visibility if the condition is satisfied, and not execute the display process of lowering the visibility if the condition is not satisfied;

receive, from a user, a setting that enables or disables the display process of lowering the visibility; and

in a case where the setting that disables the display process of lowering the visibility is set, execute a predetermined warning process if the condition is satisfied.

17. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein

a condition for executing the display process of lowering the visibility is settable,

the processor is configured to, when the display mechanism in the closed state changes to the open state, execute the display process of lowering the visibility if the condition is satisfied, and not execute the display process of lowering the visibility if the condition is not satisfied, and

the condition stipulates whether or not to execute the display process of lowering the visibility based on at least one of:

(i) a location of the information processing device;

(ii) an application program displayed on the first screen in the closed state;

(iii) a type of communication;

(iv) whether a person other than a user of the information processing device is present around the information processing device; and

(v) whether personal or secret information is included among content displayed on a screen.

18. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for processing information, the computer being provided with

an openable display mechanism that displays a first screen in a first display region in a closed state, and displays a second screen in a second display region having a larger area than the first display region in an open state,

the process comprising:

executing a display process of displaying more content on the second screen in the open state than on the first screen in the closed state, wherein

in the closed state, the display process includes displaying first displayed content on the first screen, and

in the open state, in addition to the first displayed content, the display process includes displaying, on the second screen, second displayed content that had not been displayed on the first screen;

when the display mechanism is changed from the closed state to the open state, determining whether personal information or secret information is included in the second displayed content that had not been displayed on the first screen; and

when a determination is made that personal information or secret information is included in the second displayed content that had not been displayed on the first screen, executing a display process of lowering a visibility of at least the second displayed content on the second screen.
