    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to discriminate which application program is being activated only by glimpsing at a list display of an icon with moving picture displaying the icon of the application program being activated. SOLUTION: When a task manager 10 is executed, execution flags 11 of all the application programs are cleared and a launcher 12 is loaded and executed. When the task manager 10 loads an application program, it sets the execution flag corresponding to the program and, when the application program is completed, the execution flag corresponding to the program is cleared. The execution flag 11 is changed by the task manager 10 and is referred to by an icon display part of the task manager 10 and the launcher 12. Thus, the icon display part of the launcher 12 can know whether or not each application program is being executed by referring to the execution flag 11.
