Abstract
Abstract In a method for controlling a plurality of windows for displaying card images arranged lengthwise on a display unit, in the case where there is a window below an active window in which a cursor is displayed and the cursor is moved up, a down-scrolling operation is performed upon the active window until the first row of a card image reaches a row next to the boundary row between the windows. If the cursor is moved further up, the boundary row is moved up. Similarly, in the case where there is a window (No. 1) above an active window (No. 2) and the cursor is moved down, an up-scrolling operation is performed upon the active window until the bottom row of a card image reaches a row next to the boundary row. If the cursor is further moved down, the boundary row is moved down.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
263 words
A method for controlling a plurality of windows having boundary rows therebetween and being displayed lengthwise on a display unit, each of said windows displaying the part of a page of a card image belonging to a box, said card image comprising common card mode data for card images belonging to the same box and individual card data for each card image, said method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not there is a window below an active window in which a cursor is located; moving up said cursor when there is a window below said active window; performing a down-scrolling operation upon said active window until the first row of a card image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved up; moving up the boundary row of said active window after the first row of said card image displayed in said active window reaches the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved up; determining whether or not there is a window above said active window; moving down said cursor when there is a window above said active window; performing an up-scrolling operation upon said active window until the bottom row of said card image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved down; and moving down the boundary row of said active window after the bottom row of said card image displayed in said active window reaches the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved down.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
263 words
A method for controlling a plurality of windows having boundary rows therebetween and being displayed lengthwise on a display unit, each of said windows displaying the part of a page of a card image belonging to a box, said card image comprising common card mode data for card images belonging to the same box and individual card data for each card image, said method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not there is a window below an active window in which a cursor is located; moving up said cursor when there is a window below said active window; performing a down-scrolling operation upon said active window until the first row of a card image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved up; moving up the boundary row of said active window after the first row of said card image displayed in said active window reaches the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved up; determining whether or not there is a window above said active window; moving down said cursor when there is a window above said active window; performing an up-scrolling operation upon said active window until the bottom row of said card image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved down; and moving down the boundary row of said active window after the bottom row of said card image displayed in said active window reaches the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved down.
Claim 3

A method for controlling a plurality of windows having boundary rows therebetween and being displayed lengthwise in a display unit, each of said windows displaying part of a page of a card image belonging to a box, said card image comprising common card mode data for card images belonging to the same box and individual card data for each card image, said method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not there is a window below an active window in which a cursor is located; moving up said cursor when there is a window below said active window; performing a down-scrolling operation upon said active window until the first row of a card image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved up; determining whether or not there is a window above said active window; moving down said cursor when there is a window above said active window; and performing an up-scrolling operation upon said active window until the bottom row of said card , image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved down.
Claim 4
Independent Claim

A method for controlling a plurality of windows having boundary rows therebetween and being displayed lengthwise in a display unit, each of said windows displaying part of a page of a card image belonging to a box, said card image comprising common card mode data for card images belonging to the same box and individual card data for each card image, said method comprising the steps of: determining whether or not there is a window below an active window in which a cursor is located; moving up said cursor when there is a window below said active window; performing a down-scrolling operation upon said active window until the first row of a card image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved up; determining whether or not there is a window above said active window; moving down said cursor when there is a window above said active window; and performing an up-scrolling operation upon said active window until the bottom row of said card , image displayed in said active window reaches a row next to the boundary row thereof, when said cursor is moved down.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
A method as set forth in claim 4, further comprising the step of performing a scrolling operation upon said active window so as to display said cursor in said display unit, when said cursor is not displayed in said active window.
