Abstract: When a function is selected, and then, a character string to which the function is executed, an operation of selecting the character string is facilitated in order to reduce an operation burden of a user.

Abstract: There are provided an electronic device that enables a user to perform handwriting input in one-subject display of a content and to call, from an item, a one-subject display screen of the item to which handwriting is added, and a control method of the electronic device. Electronic device includes input keys, a touch panel, a display, a ROM storing a content database, a hard disk, and a CPU. Display is a sensor-incorporated display that can accept the handwriting input. CPU searches the item from content database, based on an instruction. CPU displays an item display screen based on the searched item on display. CPU displays, on display, handwritten expression corresponding to the handwriting input so as to superimpose the same on the item display screen. CPU stores the handwritten expression in hard disk as handwritten memo data.

Abstract: There is provided a display control apparatus, usability of which is improved such that, when contents are divisionally displayed on a plurality of screens, it is determined whether or not the plurality of contents displayed on the plurality of screens are related to each other to perform display control. The display control apparatus includes: a display unit that can display contents on one screen or a plurality of screens; a designating unit that designates an arbitrary position on the screen of the display unit; a determining unit that, when the contents are displayed on the plurality of screens of the display unit, determines whether or not the contents are related to each other; and a control unit that switches the screen including the position designated by the designating unit based on a determination result obtained by the determining unit.
