Provided is a mobile information terminal in which even a CPU having a low processing capability can realize a pseudo-multi task and understand the operation of an application program being started. The mobile information terminal includes: a display part (17), a storage part (13), a communication part (11), and a control part (12). Each time a document displayed on the display part (17) is updated, the control part (12) stores a display history of the document. When interrupting execution of the document display application, the control part (12) judges whether or not the acquisition destination information on the displayed document is stored in the storage part (13). If no, the acquisition destination information is stored in the storage part (13) separately from the display history the display part (17) controls to display the interrupted display information indicating that the document display by the document display application is interrupted. If yes, the acquisition destination information is not stored again in the storage part (13).
