Abstract
A game apparatus as an information processing apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU executes a program as to a memo application and another application different from the memo application. When the program of the memo application is executed during execution of the other application, a screen of an execution result of the program of the other application is captured, and the captured image is displayed on a stereoscopic LCD. On the other hand, a memo creating screen is displayed on a lower LCD.
Claims22
An information processing apparatus having an inputter, a first display region, a second display region, and a storage storing an application program, comprising:
- a mode selector which selects between a first mode executing a first application program as to another application except for a memo application and a second mode executing a second application program as to said memo application;
- a first executor which executes said first application program and displays a result of the execution in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when the first mode is selected by said selector;
- an application image displayer which displays in said first display region an application image which has been displayed in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when said second mode is selected during execution of said first application program by said first executor;
- and
- a second executor which executes said second application program and displays memo information based on an input to said inputter in said second display region when said second mode is selected.
A storage medium storing an information processing program of an information processing apparatus having an inputter, a first display region, a second display region, and a storage storing an application program, said information processing program causes a computer of said information processing apparatus to function as:
- a mode selector which selects between a first mode executing a first application program as to another application except for a memo application and a second mode executing a second application program as to said memo application;
- a first executor which executes said first application program and displays a result of the execution in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when the first mode is selected by said selector;
- an application image displayer which displays in said first display region an application image which has been displayed in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when said second mode is selected during execution of said first application program by said first executor;
- and
- a second executor which executes said second application program and displays memo information based on an input to said inputter in said second display region when said second mode is selected.
An information processing system having an inputter, a first display region, a second display region, and a storage storing an application program, comprising:
- a mode selector which selects between a first mode executing a first application program as to another application except for a memo application and a second mode executing a second application program as to said memo application;
- a first executor which executes said first application program and displays a result of the execution in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when the first mode is selected by said selector;
- an application image displayer which displays in said first display region an application image which has been displayed in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when said second mode is selected during execution of said first application program by said first executor;
- and
- a second executor which executes said second application program and displays memo information based on an input to said inputter in said second display region when said second mode is selected.
An information processing method of an information processing apparatus having an inputter, a first display region, a second display region, and a storage storing an application program, including following steps of:
- (a) selecting between a first mode executing a first application program as to another application except for a memo application and a second mode executing a second application program as to said memo application;
- (b) executing said first application program and displaying a result of the execution in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when the first mode is selected by said step (a);
- (c) displaying in said first display region an application image which has been displayed in at least one of said first display region and said second display region when said second mode is selected during execution of said first application program by said step (b);
- and
- (d) executing said second application program and displaying memo information based on an input to said inputter in said second display region when said second mode is selected.
