Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An information processing device includes: execution means for executing an application program; determination means for determining a size of a window to be displayed depending on the application program; receiving means for receiving at least one data set from among a plurality of data sets; data selection means for selecting one data set from among the plurality of data sets, depending on the window size determined by the determination unit; execution control means for controlling the execution means to process the one data set selected by the data selection means from among the received at least one data set, in accordance with the application program; and display control means for controlling the display means to show a screen based on the one data set to be processed by the execution means.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An information processing device comprising: execution means for executing a plurality of application programs in parallel; storage means for storing a plurality of conditions, the plurality of conditions including a size of a window to be displayed for each of the plurality of application programs, the plurality of conditions further including a relationship between relative sizes of a first window of a first application program and a second window of a second application program; determination means for determining the size of the window to be displayed depending on the application program; receiving means for receiving at least one data set from among a plurality of data sets, wherein each data set of the plurality of data sets includes a different type of data depending on the size of the window, wherein the type of data is selected from at least one of text and video; data selection means for selecting one data set from among the plurality of data sets, depending on the size of the window determined by the determination unit; execution control means for controlling the execution means to process the one data set selected by the data selection means from among the received at least one data set, in accordance with the application program; and display control means for controlling the display means to show a screen based on the one data set to be processed by the execution means, wherein when the size of the window is changed, the type of data displayed is changed in response to the change in the size of the window, and further wherein a processing conducted by the window continues when the size of the window is changed. 2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving means is configured to receive the plurality of data sets, and the data selection means is configured to select one data set from among the plurality of data sets received by the receiving means, depending on the size of the window determined by the determination means. 3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , further comprising: a plurality of attributes stored in the storage means, the plurality of attributes indicating data types; and extraction means for extracting, from among the plurality of attributes stored in the storage means, an attribute associated with a condition which the size of the window determined by the determination means satisfies, wherein the plurality of data sets received by the receiving means respectively include attributes, and the execution control means is configured to control the execution means to process the data set including the attribute extracted by the extraction means, from among the plurality of data sets received by the receiving means. 4. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of data sets received by the receiving means include a plurality of attributes and a plurality of conditions, the plurality of attributes indicating data types, and the plurality of conditions being respectively for window sizes associated with the plurality of attributes, the information processing device further comprises: extraction means for extracting an attribute associated with a condition which the window size determined by the determination means satisfies, from among the plurality of attributes included in the plurality of data sets; and selection means for selecting a data set including the attribute extracted by the extraction means, from among the plurality of data sets received by the receiving means, and the execution control means is configured to control the execution means to process a data set including the attribute extracted by the execution means, from among the plurality of data sets received by the receiving means. 5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , further comprising transmission means for transmitting information that specifies the data set selected by the data selection means, wherein the receiving means is configured to receive the data set transmitted in accordance with the information transmitted by the transmission means, and the execution control means is configured to control the execution means to process the data set received by the receiving means. 6. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data sets respectively have different information volumes. 7. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of data sets each are position data, and respectively have different positioning accuracies. 8. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the execution control means is configured to change a frequency at which data is processed by the execution means, depending on the window size. 9. An information processing device comprising: execution means for executing a plurality of application programs in parallel; storage means for storing a plurality of conditions, the plurality of conditions including a size of a window to be displayed for each of the plurality of application programs, the plurality of conditions further including a relationship between relative sizes of a first window of a first application program and a second window of a second application program; receiving means for receiving a data set to be processed by the application program executed by the application program; determination means for determining the size of the window to be displayed depending on the application program; execution control means for controlling a frequency at which the receiving means receives the data set, depending on the size of the window determined by the determination means from a plurality of data sets received by the receiving means, wherein each data set of the plurality of data sets includes a different type of data depending on the size of the window, wherein the type of data is selected from at least one of text and video; and display control means for controlling the display means to show a screen based on the data set to be processed by the execution means, wherein when the size of the window is changed, the type of data displayed is changed in response to the change in the size of the window, and further wherein a processing conducted by the window continues when the size of the window is changed. 10. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium, causing a computer device to function as: execution means for executing a plurality of application programs in parallel; storage means for storing a plurality of conditions, the plurality of conditions including a size of a window to be displayed for each of the plurality of application programs, the plurality of conditions further including a relationship between relative sizes of a first window of a first application program and a second window of a second application program; determination means for determining the size of the window to be displayed depending on the application program; receiving means for receiving at least one data set among a plurality of data sets, wherein each data set of the plurality of data sets includes a different type of data depending on the size of the window, wherein the type of data is selected from at least one of text and video; data selection means for selecting one data set from among the plurality of data sets, depending on the size of the window determined by the determination unit; execution control means for controlling the execution means to process the one data set selected by the data selection means from among the received at least one data set, in accordance with the application program; and display co
