Abstract: An apparatus shares a common displaying space with other apparatuses, and stores a priority with which data is to be transmitted, in association with an application which operates using each window displayed on the common displaying space. In response to updating of data by each application, the apparatus performs transmission and reception of updated data generated by the application. Upon reception of first updated data generated by a first application, the apparatus changes, based on proximity between a first window of the first application and a second window of a second application, a second priority that is stored in association with the second application. When second updated data is generated by the second application that operates using the second window displayed on the apparatus, the apparatus determines, based on the changed second priority, a turn in order of transmission of the second updated data.
