    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To set focus only on the side of an object that a user is actually interested in by displaying only the paths of the tree structure from a movement point to the root of the tree structure and a non-leaf node in a tree display area after the non-leaf node is selected as the movement point. SOLUTION: After the non-leaf node is selected as the movement point, only the paths of the tree structure from the movement point to the root of the tree structure and the non-leaf node are displayed in the tree display area. After an object property is selected from a property list area showing the object properties of the tree structure, a non-leaf node as the direct parent node of a leaf node related to the selected object property is determined. Those non-leaf nodes are selected as movement points. A complete tree is concretely visualized in a tree display area 140 on a right lower panel. Movement points are selected on a right upper panel as to movement points, e.g. 141 to 143 and then movement boxes 110, 120, and 130 are displayed.
