  • Publication number: 20090315867
    Abstract: An information processing unit of the present invention includes a display control unit that causes an icon display area, in which a plurality of icons related to each other are grouped, to be displayed and an operation unit that receives various operations by a user. When the operation unit inputs a command for expanding or contracting the icon display area in a one-dimensional direction which is the same as an arrangement direction of the plurality of the icons in the icon display area, the display control unit causes the icon display area to be expanded or contracted in the one-dimensional direction. With such a configuration, the operability can be enhanced by shortening a time for searching for a desired icon.
