1. A terminal comprising:
a display screen; and
circuitry configured to:
control display of a first display window on the display screen, the first display window having a movement element; and
obtain a user input through the movement element for moving the first display window on the display screen,
wherein, when the first display window is displayed in a region at an end of the display screen and in a first display state, the circuitry is configured to change a state of the first display window to a second display state different from the first display state in response to a first user input through the movement element for moving the first display window,
wherein, when the first display window is displayed in the region at an end of the display screen and in the first display state, the circuitry is configured to receive a second user input through the movement element for moving the first display window, determine a location in the region at the end of the display screen from a plurality of locations in the region at the end of the display screen in response to the second user input, and cause the first display window to be moved toward and displayed in the location determined by the circuitry in the region at the end of the display screen in the first display state in response to the second user input for moving the first display window,
wherein the movement element through which the first user input is received is a same movement element as the movement element through which the second user input is received, and
wherein the first user input is different from the second user input.
