An information processing apparatus includes a bendable display, a touch sensor configured to detect a touch operation on a screen area of the display, and a processor configured to perform control of arranging and displaying a window of a running application on the screen area of the display, and performs: an icon display process of displaying, in response to a drag operation being started on the window displayed on the screen area of the display, an icon for accepting an operation based on an operation position of the drag operation while continuing the drag operation on the screen area of the display, an icon display end process of ending display of the icon when the drag operation is completed on the window, and an icon display continuation process of continuing the display of the icon when the drag operation is completed on the window but is only temporarily interrupted.

Information processing apparatus and control method

An information processing apparatus includes a display, a memory that temporarily stores display data to be displayed on the display, and a processor that performs control when the display data stored in the memory is displayed on the display. The processor performs a display mode switching process of switching between a first display mode in which display is controlled by using an entire screen area of the display as a display area, and a second display mode in which display is controlled by using a part of the screen area as the display area, and a display control process of, in a case in which the first display mode and the second display mode are switched by the display mode switching process, changing a display magnification to a display magnification individually set for each of the first display mode and the second display mode.

An information processing apparatus switches between a first display mode for one display area and a second display mode for first and second display areas, and when switching from the first display mode to the second display mode is performed, displays a first window having a highest display priority of applications being executed in the first display mode, in the first display area and displays a thumbnail image corresponding to a second window other than the first window, in the second display area. In addition, in a case in which all the windows of the applications being executed are hidden in the first display mode before the switching to the second display mode, the information processing apparatus displays the window of any of the applications being executed, in the first display area when the switching to the second display mode is performed.

An information processing apparatus includes a display, a memory that stores display data to be displayed on the display, and a processor that controls the stored display data. The processor is configured to switch the display between a first display mode in which an entire screen area of the display is used as a display area and a second display mode in which the entire screen area is divided into a plurality of areas, to select a screen on which any display mode of the first display mode and the second display mode is selectable by an operation of a user, and to control the selection screen to be hidden after a predetermined time elapses since the operation of the user to select the display mode is performed on the selection screen, and to change a setting of the predetermined time based on a predetermined condition.

Information processing apparatus with two display modes and control method thereof

An information processing apparatus has a first display mode in which the entire screen region of a display is controlled to be displayed as a display region, and a second display mode in which a partial screen region excluding the predetermined screen region in the screen region of the display is controlled to be displayed as a display region, and performs a placement detection process of detecting placement of an external keyboard on the predetermined screen region in the screen region of the display, a communication control process of performing a communicative connection with the keyboard, and a display mode control process of controlling switching between the first display mode and the second display mode on the basis of the placement detection process and the communication control process.
