• determining that a display state of the display screen is a lateral state,
• displaying the plurality of function icons in either the left end region or the right end region of the second window based on the determination that the display state of the display screen is the lateral state,
• determining that the second window reaches a predetermined range from an upper end or a lower end of the display screen, and
• changing a display order of the plurality of function icons in the end region based on the determination that the second window reaches the predetermined range from the upper end or the lower end of the display screen.
