Abstract
An acquisition unit acquires, for a target object displayed on a display screen, a plurality of candidates to lay out a user interface on the display screen so as not to overlap the target object. A specifying unit specifies an amount of protrusion, protruding from a first display area including the target object in the display screen, of a candidate acquired by the acquisition unit. A selection unit selects, based on the amount of protrusion specified by the specifying unit, one candidate out of the plurality of candidates. A display control unit displays, based on the candidate selected by the selection unit, the user interface on the display screen.
