Claim:
1. An information processing system comprising: a first information processing apparatus configured to display a first image in a first window, the first window having an operation right; and a second information processing apparatus having a synchronous state or an asynchronous state, the second information processing apparatus being configured to: (a) display a second image, an operation right acquisition button and an asynchronous/synchronous change button in a second window; (b) in response to a first request, switch from the synchronous state to the asynchronous state; and (c) in response to a second request, switch from the asynchronous state to the synchronous state, wherein the first or second request is configured to be made by operating the asynchronous/synchronous change button displayed in the second window, wherein the first window includes a first thumbnail map and the second window includes a second thumbnail map, and wherein the first and second thumbnail maps include a zoom-out image of an entire object, wherein the first and second images are magnified views of at least a portion of the entire object, wherein the first and second thumbnail maps are overlapping at least a portion of the first and second images, respectively, and wherein the first thumbnail map is configured to display a first inset frame that encloses an area corresponding to the first image and the second thumbnail map is configured to display a second inset frame that encloses an area corresponding to the second image; and in response to a first user of the first information processing apparatus moving the first inset frame within the first thumbnail map: when the second information processing apparatus is in the asynchronous state, maintaining a position of the second inset frame and the second image.
