Abstract: A terminal device which can access Web contents individually for each window, the terminal device comprising a history storing means for associating each of histories of Web contents with predetermined image information, and storing the histories of the Web contents so that the histories of the Web contents can be managed for each window, an input means for receiving user's input operations, an image retrieving means for retrieving the image information by referring to the histories of each window, when a predetermined input operation is received, an image arranging means for arranging the retrieved image information for each window in a row, which is made to be in correspondence with each window, in a time series by referring to the histories, and displaying the arranged image information on a screen, and a focusing means for focusing on one piece of the arranged image information in response to the input operation.

Abstract: Provided is a terminal device including: operation means for receiving an input operation by a user; non-operation detection means for detecting whether a non-operation state in the operation means has continued for a predetermined period of time; and icon display means used when it is detected that the non-operation state has continued for the predetermined time, for shifting to another mode different from the current mode and displaying an icon corresponding to the new mode.

Abstract: In a terminal apparatus for displaying as an image, a document in which a link is set, on a display screen which also serves as a touch panel, a favorable operation is achieved including link selecting operation, or the like, while eliminating a conflict in a touch operation. To this end, when a touch is made on a browser screen by a finger 350 of a user, a link selection is allowed only within a link effective field 360 including a position being touched. Then, when the touch is released within the link effective field 360 transition is made to a destination of the link being in the touched state. When the touch is moved outwardly from inside the link effective field 360 while keeping the touched state of the touch, a predetermined process other than the link selection is performed based on at least one of a relative direction or a moved distance of the touch with respect to the initial position of the touch.
