Claim:
An information processor comprising: a display that includes a display screen; a controller that: presets in which one of a plurality of modes of a second application is to be activated, including an edit mode and a print image display mode; acquires data selected in a first application; inputs the acquired data in addition to data already accumulated in the second application currently activated; wherein, said controller: detects the current mode of the second application; sets a mode to be prioritized in the second application if a set activation mode and a detected detection mode are different from each other; and switches from the detection mode to a preferential mode in the second application, if the detection mode detected by the controller is different from the preferential mode set by the controller; the processor further comprising: an activation command input device that inputs a command causing the first application to activate the second application; said controller: presets in which one of a plurality of modes of the second application is to be activated based on input from the activation command input device; decides whether the second application is already activated when having received the input from the activation command input device; and activates, in accordance with an input from the activation command input device, the second application in a condition where the acquired data is input, if the second application is not already activated; wherein said preferential mode is set by a user through a setting screen, said setting screen defining priority settings including a first setting of whether an activation set value is preferred and a second setting of whether an activated state is preferred; wherein: if the priority setting prioritizes an activation set value, then the activation set mode by the controller is prioritized, and if the priority setting prioritizes an activated state, then the current mode of the second application detected by the controller is prioritized.
