Abstract

An information processing device according to the present invention stores user attribute data and pieces of application attribute data. The information processing device retrieves the user attribute data (Sa1), retrieves application attribute data of running application programs (Sa3), and determine whether there is application attribute data matching the user attribute data (Sa5). If the determination is affirmative, the information processing device identifies an application program corresponding to the application attribute data, and subsequently identifies a window (subject window) corresponding to the identified application program (Sa6). The information processing device sets priority levels for the subject window and windows overlapping the subject window so that the priority level for the subject window is higher than those of the windows (Sa8), and changes a display order of the subject window and the windows in accordance with the priority levels for the subject window and the windows (Sa9).

Dependent claims

An information processing device comprising:

a memory configured to store pieces of attribute data;
a display;
a processor configured to:
retrieve first attribute data stored in the memory in association with a first running application program;
retrieve second attribute data stored in the memory;
identify a first window corresponding to the first running application program, which is displayed on the display;
identify a second window overlapping with the first window, which is displayed on the display;
if the first attribute data and the second attribute data are identical, set priority levels for the first window and the second window so that a priority level for the first window is higher than a priority level for the second window;
and
