1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
detect a stretching operation on a display device having flexibility so as to be able to be stretched from a state of being wound in a tubular shape,
display a plurality of pieces of content in parallel in a stretching region stretched by the stretching operation, in accordance with a mode of the stretching operation,
in response to detecting the stretching operation, display, in parallel, the plurality of pieces of content including a display of text information input by a user and input contents corresponding to an input screen for the user, wherein the input contents are displayed in a stretching region newly stretched by the detected stretching operation, wherein the plurality of pieces of content include at least a first display content and a second display content, and the input contents include at least a first input content corresponding to the first display content and a second input content corresponding to the second display content,
display images by which applications corresponding to the input contents are identifiable, respectively, so that the images are superimposed on a part of the corresponding input contents, respectively, and the applications including at least a first application corresponding to the first input contents and a second application corresponding to the second input contents, and the images include at least a first image corresponding to the first application and a second image corresponding to the second application,
detect a selection operation on one of the images, and
in response to detecting the selection operation on one of the images, switch to displaying the text information for the input content corresponding to the application identified by the selected image.
