Information processing apparatus for determining whether to display an event message

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• control a display screen to display a plurality of error messages corresponding to error events occurring in the information processing apparatus, wherein
• an error event is an occurrence of a failure in the information processing apparatus, and
• an error message is a notification of the occurrence of the failure in the information processing apparatus;
• in a case where a first error event corresponding to a first error message occurs in the information processing apparatus when a user is using an application of the information processing apparatus, and a second error message corresponding to a second error event is being displayed on the display screen when the first error event occurs, determine whether the first error event and the second error event occur in a same application;
• when the first error event and the second error event occur in the same application, and the first error message has a higher priority than the second error message, control the display screen to preferentially display the first error message;
• and
• when the first error event and the second error event do not occur in the same application, or when the first error message does not have a higher priority than the second error message, control the display screen to continue displaying the second error message without displaying the first error message.
