In an information processing apparatus, items to be displayed are easily controlled. A user operates a mouse to select an English word displayed in a scroll window with a pointer, and drags the selected word. Thus, English words to be displayed in the scroll window are restricted.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, in view of the above background, it is an object of the present invention to easily retrieve information by restricting the amount of information to be displayed.
In order to achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information processing apparatus for extracting a predetermined item from a plurality of items having predetermined registered numbers and for displaying the extracted item.
The information processing apparatus includes a degree-of-interest (DOI) value setting unit for setting a DOI value for the item based on the registered number of the item.
A threshold setting unit sets a threshold for identifying the DOI value set by the DOI value setting unit.
An identifying unit identifies the DOI value set by the DOI value setting unit in accordance with the threshold set by the threshold setting unit.
A first display control unit controls the item to be displayed based on a result obtained by the identifying unit.
A second display control unit controls the item to be displayed according to the DOI value based on the result obtained by the identifying unit.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an information processing method for extracting a predetermined item from a plurality of items having predetermined registered numbers and for displaying the extracted item.
The information processing method includes a DOI value setting step of setting a DOI value for the item based on the registered number of the item, a threshold setting step of setting a threshold for identifying the DOI value set in the DOI value setting step, an identifying step of identifying the DOI value set in the DOI value setting step in accordance with the threshold set in the threshold setting step, a first display control step of controlling the item to be displayed based on a result obtained in the identifying step, and a second display control step of controlling the item to be displayed according to the DOI value based on the result obtained in the identifying step
