Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To have a proper action and to evade the mismatching by capsulating the definition of an interface used for the UI entity and the information on the interface area and giving a notification to a display component when the display, change, shift or elimination is decided for the held information after a notification is received about a dialog of the relative users. SOLUTION: The 1st help information display shows a general-purpose UI entity definition component 20 including a part of a display manager framework and capsulates the details of an interface sensible area and the information on this area. The component 20 receives a notification when the display, change, shift or elimination is decided for the information including the received notification of a dialog of the relative users. The 2nd help information display shows a display component 30 which implements an interface of the display manager frame work that defines a general-purpose display method. The component 30 capsulates the details of a specific method for display of the information using a general-purpose method.
