Information processing apparatus, non-transitory computer-readable recording medium with information processing program recorded thereon, and information processing method

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium with an information processing program recorded thereon, the information processing program allowing a computer including a display section and a storage section to function as:

• a gesture acceptance section that accepts a user's gesture on the display section;
• and
• a processing section that executes processing corresponding to the gesture accepted by the gesture acceptance section,
• wherein
• (i) if there are a plurality of windows being displayed on the display section when the gesture acceptance section accepts a predetermined gesture, the information processing program allows the computer to function so that the processing section allows the storage section to store window information indicating respective sizes and positions of the plurality of windows being displayed on the display section, creates an icon associated with a plurality of files being displayed in the plurality of windows, and allows the display section to display the icon, and
• (ii) when the gesture acceptance section accepts a launch gesture on the icon, the information processing program allows the computer to function so that the processing section retrieves the window information from the storage section and allows the display section to display the plurality of windows for displaying the plurality of files associated with the icon in the respective sizes and positions indicated by the window information, but
• if any of the plurality of windows having the respective sizes and positions based on the window information extends beyond the display section, the information processing program allows the computer to function so that the processing section adjusts a size and a position of each of the plurality of windows so that the plurality of windows fall within the display section without overlapping within a predetermined limit of reduction of the plurality of windows and allows the display section to display each of the plurality of windows in the adjusted size and position, and
• if it is impossible to adjust the size and position of each of the windows so that each of the plurality of windows falls within the display section without overlapping within the predetermined limit of reduction, the information processing program allows the computer to function so that the processing section prevents the plurality of files from being executed and prevents the display section from displaying the plurality of windows.

An information processing method using an information processing apparatus including a display section and a storage section, the method comprising:

• a gesture acceptance step of accepting a user's gesture on the display section;
• and
• a processing step of executing processing corresponding to the gesture accepted in the gesture acceptance step,
• wherein
• (i) in the processing step after a predetermined gesture is accepted in the gesture acceptance step while there are a plurality of windows being displayed on the display section, the storage section stores window information indicating respective sizes and positions of the plurality of windows being displayed on the display section, an icon associated with a plurality of files being displayed in the plurality of windows is created, and the display section displays the icon, and
• (ii) in the processing step after a launch gesture on the icon is accepted in the gesture acceptance step, the window information is retrieved from the storage section and the display section displays the plurality of windows for displaying the plurality of files associated with the icon in the respective sizes and positions indicated by the window information, but,
• if any of the plurality of windows having the respective sizes and positions based on the window information extends beyond the display section, a size and a position of each of the plurality of windows are adjusted so that the plurality of windows fall within the display section without overlapping within a predetermined limit of reduction of the plurality of windows and each of the plurality of windows are displayed at the display section in the adjusted size and position, and
• if it is impossible to adjust the size and position of each of the plurality of windows so that the plurality of windows falls within the display section without overlapping within the predetermined limit of reduction, the plurality of files are prevented from being executed and the plurality of windows are prevent from being displayed at the display section.
