Display apparatus for user interface and display method for the same and program

A display apparatus for a user interface comprising:

• a large window display section for displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• a small window display section for arranging three or more small windows in the large window displayed on the display screen to display the same in one direction;
• a maximization accepting section for accepting an input to maximize any one of the three or more small windows;
• a minimization accepting section for accepting an input to minimize any one of the three or more small windows;
• a maximization display section for minimizing small windows except for one small window in the large window and causing the small window display section to display the same when the maximization accepting section accepts the input to maximize the one small window, and for extending the one small window to a space generated by the above-described minimization and causing the small window display section to display the same;
• and
• a minimization display section for minimizing one small window in the large window and causing the small window display section to display the same when the minimization accepting section accepts the input to minimize the one small window, and for extending at least one of small windows except for the one small window in the large window to a space generated by the above-described minimization and causing the small window display section to display the same.

A display method for a user interface comprising:

• displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• arranging three or more small windows in the large window displayed on the display screen to display the same in one direction;
• accepting an input to maximize any one of the three or more small windows;
• accepting an input to minimize any one of the three or more small windows;
• minimizing small windows except for one small window in the large window and causing the small window display section to display the same when the maximization accepting section accepts the input to maximize the one small window, and for extending the one small window to a space generated by the above-described minimization and causing the small window display section to display the same;
• and
• minimizing one small window in the large window and causing the small window display section to display the same when the minimization accepting section accepts the input to minimize the one small window, and for extending at least one of small windows except for the one small window in the large window to a space generated by the above-described minimization and causing the small window display section to display the same.

A program for a user interface of a computer, the program causes the computer to perform the steps of:

• displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• arranging three or more small windows in the large window displayed on the display screen to display the same in one direction;
• accepting an input to maximize any one of the three or more small windows;
• accepting an input to minimize any one of the three or more small windows;
• minimizing small windows except for one small window in the large window and causing the small window display section to display the same when the maximization accepting section accepts the input to maximize the one small window, and for extending the one small window to a space generated by the above-described minimization and causing the small window display section to display the same;
• and
• minimizing one small window in the large window and causing the small window display section to display the same when the minimization accepting section accepts the input to minimize the one small window, and for extending at least one of small windows except for the one small window in the large window to a space generated by the above-described minimization and causing the small window display section to display the same.

A display apparatus comprising:

• a large window display section for displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• and
• a small window display section for displaying a plurality of small windows corresponding to a plurality of works in the application in the large window displayed on the display screen, wherein
• the small window display section sequentially adds or opens plurality of small windows in the large window at a predetermined time difference when the application is started, and
• the large window display section gradually extends and displays the large window at the predetermined time difference depending on the number or the opening state of the small windows which are currently displayed by the small window display section when the application is started.

A display apparatus comprising:

• a large window display section for displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• and
• a small window display section for displaying a plurality of small windows corresponding to a plurality of works in the application in the large window displayed on the display screen, wherein
• the small window display section sequentially changes the display of the plurality of small windows from a non-acceptance display indicating that the application does not any input from a user to an acceptance display indicating that the application accepts an input from the user at a predetermined time difference.

A display method comprising:

• displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• and
• displaying a plurality of small windows corresponding to a plurality of works in the application in the large window displayed on the display screen, wherein, when the application is started, the displaying method further including:
• sequentially adding or opening the plurality of small windows to display the same at a predetermined time difference;
• and
• gradually extending and displaying the large window at a predetermined time difference depending on the number or the opening state of the small windows which are currently displayed on the display screen.

A display method comprising:

• displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• and
• displaying a plurality of small windows corresponding to a plurality of works in the application in the large window displayed on the display screen, wherein, when the application is started, the displaying method further including:
• changing the display of the plurality of small windows from a non-acceptance display indicating that the application does not any input from a user to an acceptance display indicating that the application accepts an input from the user.

A program for causing a computer to perform:

• a large window display function for displaying a large window for the whole application on a display screen;
• and
• a small window display function for displaying a plurality of small windows corresponding to a plurality of works in the application in the large window displayed on the display screen, wherein
• the small window display function sequentially adds or opens the plurality of small windows in the large window at a predetermined time difference when the application is started, and
• the large window display function gradually extends and displas the large window depending on the number or the opening state of the small windows which are currently displayed by the small window display function at the predetermined time difference when the application is started.
