Abstract
An information display device displays a sub-screen in a main screen and stores display information including the display position of the sub-screen and information on a near-field region. A position input device acquires information on a touched position, stores touch history information including information on a plurality of touched positions acquired, and includes a touched position determination section that determines whether a newly-acquired touched position is present in the near-field region and a display position determination section that, in a case where it has been determined that the newly-acquired touched position is present in the near-field region, utilizes the touch history information to determine a position to which the sub-screen is reduced or moved. In a case where the sub-screen has not been reduced, the sub-screen is reduced to the determined position. In a case where the sub-screen has been reduced, the sub-screen is moved to the determined position.
