A displaying method that makes the following possible: Executing an operation from either of two approaches, i.e. a processing oriented to an object to be processed or a processing oriented to a task to be processed, and effectively dealing with a lot of tasks and various types of objects, and performing a flexible operation. In the displaying method in an information processing apparatus, both displays, i.e. a display intended for selecting the task to be processed and a display intended for selecting the object to be processed, are displayed on a display apparatus in such a manner that the two displays are distributed into two tabs, respectively. This condition makes it possible to select the task to be processed with a selection of the tabs, and also makes it possible to execute in an arbitrary order the processing oriented to the task and the processing oriented to the object.

Displaying method in information processing apparatus that permits execution of either object or task oriented processings

For realizing a system for uniformly operating and managing a network system capable of managing a plurality of types of logical networks for one network entity composed of a plurality of objects, information on network topologies is collected from each of the plurality of objects. Display data is created for each of a plurality of types of logical network topologies for each object in accordance with the collected information on network topologies. A control is conducted in accordance with the created display data so as to display a physical connection relationship, a logical connection relationship, and a virtual connection relationship on a virtual screen. Also, for providing a database display method capable of displaying information contained in a database in a state suitable to display characteristics of the data, data in the database is two-dimensionally displayed in a two-dimensional display area, and all or a portion of the two-dimensionally displayed data is three-dimensionally displayed in a three-dimensional display area. A projection view of the three-dimensional display is also displayed in a projection view display area. The user can manipulate any of the displays in the respective display areas, and the manipulation is reflected to the remaining displays.
