Storage medium storing program and information processing apparatus

An information processing apparatus which displays information in at least first, second and third different display areas and which includes a coordinate input device, the apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to perform comprising:
• receive an input corresponding to a user's operation in the third display area;
• determine headword data corresponding to the received input and search, for sentence data that describes in detail a meaning of the headword data, a data group including at least sentence data in the form of text data corresponding to a plurality of pieces of headword data;
• display, in the first display area, at least a portion of a sentence image based on retrieved sentence data;
• copy at least a portion of the sentence image displayed in the first display area and display the copied portion in the second display area;
• detect a coordinate point output from the coordinate input device;
• edit the sentence image displayed in the second display area in accordance with the detected coordinate point;
• and
• transmit the edited sentence image to another apparatus.

An information processing system including a plurality of information processing apparatuses each of which displays information in at least first, second and third different display areas and which includes a coordinate input device, wherein

• each of the information processing apparatuses comprises:
• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the processor to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a coordinate point output from the coordinate input device;
• generating an image in accordance with the detected coordinate point;
• receiving an image transmitted from another one of the information processing apparatuses;
• displaying the received image;
• editing the displayed image in accordance with the detected coordinate point;
• and
• transmitting the generated image or the edited image to another one of the information processing apparatuses, and wherein
• at least one of the plurality of information processing apparatus further receives
• an input corresponding to a user's operation in the third display area;
• and wherein the processor is further controlled to perform operations comprising:
• determining headword data corresponding to the input and searching, for sentence data that describes in detail a meaning of headword data, a data group including at least sentence data in the form of text data corresponding to a plurality of pieces of headword data;
• displaying, in the first display area, at least a portion of a sentence image based on retrieved sentence data;
• copying at least a portion of the sentence image displayed in the first display area and displaying the copied portion in the second display area
• detecting a coordinate point output from the coordinate input device;
• editing the sentence image displayed in the second display area in accordance with the detected coordinate point, and
• transmitting the edited image to another one of the information processing apparatuses.

A method performed by a computer of an apparatus which is configured to display information in at least first, second and third different display areas and which includes a coordinate input device, the method comprising:

• receiving an input corresponding to a user's operation in the third display area;
• determining headword data corresponding to the received input and searching, for sentence data that describes in detail a meaning of the headword data, a data group including at least sentence data in the form of text data corresponding to a plurality of pieces of headword data;
• displaying, in the first display area, at least a portion of a sentence image based on retrieved sentence data;
• copying at least a portion of the sentence image displayed in the first display area and displaying the copied portion in the second display area;
• detecting a coordinate point output from the coordinate input device;
• editing the sentence image displayed in the second display area in accordance with the detected coordinate point;
• and
• transmitting the edited sentence image to another apparatus.
