Abstract
A multi-display control system enables an operation screen to come up on an operator's front screen when an application performing a display operation changes, without the need for the operator to move the display image. When the conditions for image detection have been met, it is detected where the position of a mouse is on a hypothetical single-sheet page(process). Next, from the position detection result it is assessed if the mouse is on a second sub display apparatus(process). Then in the case where the assessed operating screen is not the main display apparatus, the screen contents of the second sub display apparatusand the screen contents of the main display apparatusare exchanged and displayed on the respective image display apparatuses. That is, the screen contents of the second sub display apparatusare transformed to the main display apparatus, and the screen contents of the main display apparatusare transformed to the second sub display apparatus(process). As a result, the working space shown by the mouse can always be brought to the front screen, and the operating efficiency of the image display can be further improved.
