Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program storage medium

摘要

An information processing apparatus is aimed at changing the settings of plural items registered on an individual icon or an overall icon to the data to be processed by selecting and designating the individual icon or the overall icon as intended by the user. Each of the individual icons and the overall icons stored on an external memory are indicated on the same selection setting screen of the display device of the apparatus. Then, the central processing unit of the apparatus discriminates the icon selection status on the selection setting screen thus displayed when a pointing device or the like used to point out the icon. For this apparatus, the structure is arranged to automatically change the attribute setting conditions with respect to the data in accordance with the result of such discrimination.
