Abstract
When an object region of data has been assigned through an input unit, an object assigning unit writes the assigned object in a picture surface information region in an assigned object information region. When a cutting command has been input, the assigned region is stored in a nonshared clipboard region or a shared clipboard region according to instruction by the command. A shared clipboard is connected to shared clipboards of other systems via a shared clipboard communication unit. When a position has been assigned and a pasting command has been input, a pasting processing unit takes out data from an assigned clipboard, and connects the data to the assigned position. Thus, an operation of cutting and pasting data between systems is simplified.
