Abstract

An information processing apparatus comprises: a reception unit that receives a pop-up display command of a first object; a determination unit that determines whether a second object whose display order is not secured in a vertical direction with respect to the first object is displayed on a displayed screen; a generation unit that generates, based on image data of the second object, a third object whose display order is secured in the vertical direction with respect to the first object, if the determination unit determines that the second object whose display order is not secured in the vertical direction with respect to the first object is displayed; and a display control unit that sets the second object in a non-display state, and display the first object and the third object.

Dependent claims

An image processing apparatus comprising:

one or more processors;
and
a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the image processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
receiving a display command of a second object that is a second type component and should be displayed on a foreground;
determining whether or not a first object that is a first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component is included in objects displayed on a display screen;
based on the result of the determination as to whether or not the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component is included in objects displayed on the display screen, controlling whether to hide the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component when displaying the second object that is the second type component,
wherein in a case where it is determined in the determination that the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component is included in objects displayed on the display screen, the first object that is the first type component displayed on the display screen is hidden, and a third object that indicates contents of the first object and is the second type object is displayed, and further the second object that is the second type component is displayed on the foreground;
holding information regarding the object that has been hidden in the case where the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component is hidden when the second object that is the second type of component is displayed on the foreground;
obtaining a command to hide the second object displayed on the foreground;
determining whether or not there is an object that has been hidden when the second object was displayed on the display screen based on the held information;
redisplaying the first object that is the first type component that has been hidden and hiding the third object that is the second type component when the second object that is the second type component is hidden in a case where it is determined in the determination that there is an object that has been hidden when the second object was displayed on the display screen based on the held information.

based on the result of the determination as to whether or not the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component is included in objects displayed on the display screen, controlling whether to hide the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component when displaying the second object that is the second type component,
wherein in a case where it is determined in the determination that the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component is included in objects displayed on the display screen, the first object that is the first type component displayed on the display screen is hidden, and a third object that indicates contents of the first object and is the second type object is displayed, and further the second object that is the second type component is displayed on the foreground;
holding information regarding the object that has been hidden in the case where the first object that is the first type component which should be displayed in front of the second type component is hidden when the second object that is the second type of component is displayed on foreground;
obtaining a command to hide the second object displayed on the foreground;
determining whether or not there is an object that has been hidden when the second object was displayed on the display screen based on the held information;
redisplaying the first object that is the first type component that has been hidden and hiding the third object that is the second type component when the second object that is the second type component is hidden in a case where it is determined in the determination that there is an object that has been hidden when the second object was displayed on the display screen based on the held information.
