PROCESSOR AND METHOD FOR DATA PROCESSING, AND COMPUTER- READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM WITH PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To retrieve and select an intended peripheral device in a short time by making a caption display of constitution information on icons by peripheral devices nearby an icon being indicated with a cursor when the cursor is put on the icon by the peripheral devices. SOLUTION: A discrimination means discriminates whether the cursor capable of movement indication overlap with respective peripheral device icons in a peripheral device list displaying the states of peripheral devices. Namely, a CPU 1 executes a control program stored in an external memory 11, a hard disk 12, etc., to make a decision. A control means when judging that the cursor overlaps on an icon makes a caption display of the constitution information on the overlap-indicated icon whose overlap is obtained by an acquiring means nearby the icon which is being indicated with the cursor. Namely, the CPU 1 executes the control program stored on the external memory 11, hard disk 12, etc., to make the display on a CRTC 6.
