Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus capable of creating a document by using an image displayed on a display.

  When using an information processing device, for example, when creating a document while referring to the screen of a laptop computer, pay attention to something different from the display target of the screen, such as reviewing and restructuring the contents of the document being created. May want to turn Even if a document is being created smoothly, there may be content that the user wants to view in real time. In such a case, it is preferable to display another content simultaneously with the document creation screen.

  Since a multi-window system is widely used in personal computers, it is possible to display such a plurality of contents by displaying a document creation screen in one window and displaying desired contents in another window.

  However, when a plurality of contents are displayed in a multi-window, especially in the case of a notebook personal computer, the display size that is originally limited to some extent cannot be fully used for document creation work. In addition, since the load on the processor also increases, there is a possibility that comfortable work cannot be performed depending on the processing capability of the personal computer.

  For this reason, even if the personal computer is capable of simultaneously displaying a plurality of contents, it may be preferable to display only the documents on the personal computer and display the different contents on a separate display device.
