- wherein the second object on the second display screen is associated with the first object on the first display screen;
- and
- control display of transition content on the second display screen,
- wherein the display of the transition content is controlled based on a comparison of the first display area and the second display area,
- wherein the transition content shows an association between the first object on the first display screen and the second object on the second display screen, and
- wherein the transition content shows content that is in an intermediate display mode between a first display mode of the first object and a second display mode of the second object.
