Image processing apparatus, method for displaying pop-up window, and computer-readable storage medium for computer program

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes a display device that displays a plurality of windows having hierarchy levels in such a manner that a low-level window overlaps a high-level window, each of the plurality of windows containing a first object to close the subject window and one or more second objects to select items; an extraction portion that extracts, from one or more second objects in the high-level window, a selection candidate object that is likely to be selected by a user after the low-level window is closed; and a control portion that controls, when the extraction portion extracts the selection candidate object, the display device in such a manner that the first object in the low-level window overlaps the selection candidate object, or the first object in the low-level window is disposed close to the selection candidate object.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
a display device that displays a plurality of windows having hierarchy levels in such a manner that a low-level window overlaps a high-level window, each of the plurality of windows containing a first object to close the subject window and one or more second objects to select items; a processor that is configured to: select, from said one or more second objects in the high-level window, a selection candidate object that is likely to be selected by a user after the low-level window is closed; extract, from said one or more second objects in the high-level window, the selected selection candidate object; and control, when the processor extracts the selection candidate object, the display device in such a manner that the first object in the low-level window overlaps the selection candidate object by comparing a position of the first object with a position of the selection candidate object, or the first object in the low-level window is disposed close to the selection candidate object such that a user is able to touch the selection candidate object after it touched the first object without substantially changing a position of his or her finger.
