  • Patent number: 9607054
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus which makes it possible to easily find a page on which a desired content is allocated when many contents are displayed separately on a plurality of pages. Contents are classified into a plurality of groups based on attribute information on the contents. One tab is selected from among a displayed plurality of tabs corresponding to the groups. Contents in a group corresponding to the selected tab are displayed in a predetermined display area. The attribute information on the contents is displayed near the plurality of tabs. First attribute information on a first content in a first group corresponding to a first tab and second attribute information on a second content in a second group corresponding to a second tab displayed next to the first tab are compared, and based on a comparison result, the second attribute information is displayed near the second tab.
