Abstract
The focus is automatically shifted among a plurality of application windows which are displayed concurrently. In order to achieve this, an interruption of communication processing started by an application corresponding to a first window displayed with the focus is detected. Then a second window to which the focus is to shift is determined based on the detection result and state data. As a result, the focus is automatically shifted, based on the determination result, from the first window displayed on a display section to the second window.
