1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
display a plurality of different thumbnail images, wherein each thumbnail image of the plurality of different thumbnail images is associated with a different executable application executable by the processing circuitry; and
in response to an indication of selection of a thumbnail image of the different thumbnail images, show a function of an executable application associated with the selected thumbnail image by reproducing dynamic images representing an execution state of the executable application associated with the selected thumbnail image, without the processing circuitry executing the executable application associated with the selected thumbnail image.
