Abstract: In a case where a screen layout creating unit replaces a generated screen layout with another screen layout, a screen layout comparing unit infers a GUI component in the pre-replacement screen layout, that is similar to a GUI component in the post-replacement screen layout, and correlates the GUI components similar to each other. A connection information restoring unit executes connection restoring processing to associate a processing program, which is associated with the GUI component in the pre-replacement screen layout, with the GUI component correlated by the screen layout comparing unit.

Abstract: A display control technique that allows a latest screen shot to be displayed on a client apparatus regardless of a file update state in a server apparatus, in a network system that realizes a remote UI, is provided. When a file 105 on a server apparatus 100 has been updated during a period from a time of last end of an application to the current time, a first screen shot management section 102 transmits a screen shot 106 generated by the server apparatus 100, to a client apparatus 110. A display control section 116 displays the received screen shot 106 on a display screen when receiving the screen shot 106 from the server apparatus 100; and displays a screen shot 117 that is generated by the client apparatus 110 and stored in a second screen shot management section 114, on the display screen in the case other than the above.

Abstract: An electronic publication viewer (1000) includes a display target specifying unit (1100) that specifies a display target page and the position and size of the display target region, a page structure data obtaining unit (1200) that obtains page structure data corresponding to the display target page, a rendering unit (1300) that generates the display image data corresponding to the position and size of the display target region, a display image data caching unit (1400) that caches the display image data, and a display control unit (1500) that causes the display image data obtained from the rendering unit (1300) or the display image data caching unit (1400) in a position of a display unit superimposed on the display target region.

Abstract: A depth selector 18 selects a depth selecting position indicating a position along a depth axis Z, based on a depth selection command to be inputted by a user. A display judger 19 judges whether each of real objects RO is located on a forward side or on a rearward side with respect to the depth selecting position Zs in a depth space, and extracts real objects RO located on the reward side, as real objects RO to be displayed, in each of which a tag T1 is displayed. A drawing section 22 determines, on a display screen, a display position of each of the real objects RO to be displayed which have been extracted by the display judger 19 to draw the tags T1 at the determined display positions.
