Abstract
An aspect of the present invention includes a detection unit configured to detect content of second drawing data drawn in a second window, which is displayed on a lower layer of a first window, and a display control unit configured to control display by determining, based on the content of the second drawing data, whether to perform first control, in which the second drawing data is displayed in an overlap region, which is a region in which the first window and the second window overlap, in such a way as to be visible in the first window, or second control, in which the second drawing data is not displayed in the overlap region or the second drawing data is displayed in such a way as to be less visible in the first window than when the first control is performed.
