  • Publication number: 20220134226
    Abstract: To provide an extension function that permits more intuitive operations without interfering with the behavior of an external application. There is provided an information processing apparatus that includes a controller configured to control functional extension of an external application. The controller causes an extended menu icon whose display position is adjustable to be superimposed and displayed on a display window of the external application, and controls a display position of an extended menu according to the display position of the extended menu icon. The controller causes an extension function icon to be superimposed and displayed on the display window with a display position of the extension function icon being adjustable, the extension function icon being associated with an extension function selected on the extended menu, and controls a display position of a sub-icon accompanying the extension function icon, according to the display position of the extension function icon.
