Abstract: Videos are to be displayed in parallel, without missing information or a decrease in efficiency in the usable display region. The aspect ratio of the large screen of an information processing apparatus 100 is 16:9, which is compatible with a Hi-Vision video. In a case where the large screen is used in a portrait layout, if the large screen is divided into three small screens in the vertical direction, the aspect ratio of the small screens after the dividing is 9:16/3=16:9.48. With respect to the original video content at 16:9, the ratio in inches is 9/16=56.25% (the area ratio is (9/16)2=31.64%). Accordingly, the usable display region can be efficiently used.
