Abstract

A displaying method that makes the following possible: Executing an operation from either of two approaches, i.e. a processing oriented to an object to be processed or a processing oriented to a task to be processed, and effectively dealing with a lot of tasks and various types of objects, and performing a flexible operation. In the displaying method in an information processing apparatus, both displays, i.e. a display intended for selecting the task to be processed and a display intended for selecting the object to be processed, are displayed on a display apparatus in such a manner that the two displays are distributed into two tabs, respectively. This condition makes it possible to select the task to be processed with a selection of the tabs, and also makes it possible to execute in an arbitrary order the processing oriented to the task and the processing oriented to the object.
