INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD
An information processing apparatus, that controls display in a plurality of screen areas that do not overlap with each other, includes: a memory configured to store a program of an application; and a processor configured to control displaying a window of the application in at least one of the plurality of screen areas by executing the program of the application stored in the memory. The processor is configured to perform: when a drag operation is accepted for the window displayed in at least one of the plurality of screen areas, a first display process of displaying icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas in a screen area in which the drag operation is started, and making display modes of a first icon corresponding to the screen area in which the drag operation is started among the icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas and a second icon.
1 . An information processing apparatus that controls display in a plurality of screen areas that do not overlap with each other, the apparatus comprising:
a memory configured to store a program of an application; and
a processor configured to control displaying a window of the application in at least one of the plurality of screen areas by executing the program of the application stored in the memory, wherein
the processor is configured to perform:
when a drag operation is accepted for the window displayed in at least one of the plurality of screen areas, a first display process of displaying icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas in a screen area in which the drag operation is started, and making display modes of a first icon corresponding to the screen area in which the drag operation is started among the icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas and a second icon other than the first icon different from each other,
a first selection process of selecting a screen area corresponding to an icon selected by the drag operation from among the icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas as a screen area for displaying the window being dragged,
a second display process of newly displaying a third icon from which a display area is selectable, in which the window is to be displayed within the screen area selected by the first selection process,
a second selection process of selecting a display area selected by the drag operation on the third icon as a display area for displaying the window being dragged, and
a third display process of changing a display position of the window to the display area selected by the second selection process within the screen area selected by the first selection process in response to completion of the drag operation on the window.
2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the processor is configured to make colors of the first icon and the second icon different from each other in the first display process.
3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
in the first display process, the processor is configured to make display modes different from each other when the first icon is selected by the drag operation and when the first icon is not selected by the drag operation, and when the second icon is selected by the drag operation and when the second icon is not selected by the drag operation.
4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of screen areas include a screen area of an embedded display of the information processing apparatus and a screen area of an external display connected to the information processing apparatus, and
the processor is configured to, in the first display process, display an icon corresponding to the screen area of the embedded display and an icon corresponding to the screen area of the external display in different designs imitating types of the respective displays.
5 . A control method in an information processing apparatus including a memory configured to store a program of an application, and a processor configured to control displaying a window of the application in at least one of a plurality of screen areas that do not overlap with each other by executing the program of the application stored in the memory,
the method comprising:
via the processor,
when a drag operation is accepted for the window displayed in at least one of the plurality of screen areas,
a first display step of displaying icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas in a screen area in which the drag operation is started, and making display modes of a first icon corresponding to the screen area in which the drag operation is started among the icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas and a second icon other than the first icon different from each other;
a first selection step of selecting a screen area corresponding to an icon selected by the drag operation from among the icons corresponding to the plurality of screen areas as a screen area for displaying the window being dragged;
a second display step of newly displaying a third icon from which a display area is selectable, in which the window is to be displayed within the screen area selected by the first selection step;
a second selection step of selecting a display area selected by the drag operation on the third icon as a display area for displaying the window being dragged; and
a third display step of changing a display position of the window to the display area selected by the second selection step within the screen area selected by the first selection step in response to completion of the drag operation on the window.
