ABSTRACT:
An information processing apparatus and method providing a main display for displaying a first operation screen used to perform a first operation and a sub-display separate from the main display for displaying a second operation screen used to perform a second operation. The sub-display is integral with a touch pad pointing device. A processor of the information processing apparatus is programmed to provide notification when the second operation screen is opened or changed. The notification may be selectively provided on the main display such that a user performing touch operation on the sub-display while viewing the main display is notified that the second operation screen has been opened or changed. The notification may be visual, audible or tactile. The second operation may be executed in parallel with the first operation or independently of the first operation. The first operation screen and the second operation screen may be simultaneously displayed.
