Abstract:
A display control section 77 causes meta-information (attribute information 73 and function information 75) related to an icon 79 read out at step S14 to be dynamically switching-displayed in a space 81 equivalent to two icons, i.e., a display area of unselected icons, said display area not being required to display thereof any longer, as a result of selecting an icon that fits the intent of a user. Thereby, it becomes possible to display with good visibility the meta-information related to the icon selected by the user, out of a plurality of icons list-displayed on the display screen, while effectively utilizing resources related to the display screen.
