Abstract

A display control device includes: an obtaining unit that obtains a stacking image formed by stacking plural specific images for specifying respective contents of images recorded on at least one surface of each of plural recording media; and a controller that exerts control so that a process is displayed on a display screen, the process sequentially performing an operation to select one specific image from the plural specific images in the stacking image obtained by the obtaining unit and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image while changing one specific image to be selected.

Claims

1. A display control device comprising:

an obtaining unit that obtains a stacking image formed by stacking a plurality of specific images for specifying respective contents of images recorded on at least one surface of each of a plurality of recording media; and

a controller that exerts control so that a process is displayed on a display screen, the process sequentially performing an operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image obtained by the obtaining unit and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image while changing one specific image to be selected.

2. The display control device according to claim 1, wherein the controller exerts control so that the operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image obtained by the obtaining unit and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image is performed with a speed in accordance with an order of selecting the one specific image.

3. The display control device according to claim 2, wherein the controller exerts control so that the operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image obtained by the obtaining unit and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image is performed with a speed equal to or faster than a speed in a previous operation in the process in a case where an order of selecting the one specific image is earlier than a specific order, and is performed with a speed equal to or slower than the speed in the previous operation in the process in a case where the order of selecting the one specific image is later than the specific order.

4. The display control device according to claim 2, wherein the controller exerts control so that the operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image obtained by the obtaining unit and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image is performed with a speed equal to or slower than a speed in a previous operation in the process in a case where there is a change in a predetermined property of at least one of the recording medium and an image recorded on the recording medium.

5. The display control device according to claim 3, wherein the controller exerts control so that the operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image obtained by the obtaining unit and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image is performed with a speed equal to or slower than a speed in a previous operation in the process in a case where there is a change in a predetermined property of at least one of the recording medium and an image recorded on the recording medium.

6. A display device comprising:

an image display unit that displays a stacking image formed by stacking a plurality of specific images for specifying respective contents of images recorded on at least one surface of each of a plurality of recording media; and

a process display unit that displays, in a case where one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image is selected, a process sequentially performing an operation to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image while changing one specific image to be selected.

7. The display device according to claim 6, wherein the process display unit performs an operation, in a case where one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image is selected, to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image with a speed in accordance with an order of selecting the one specific image.

8. A printing apparatus comprising:

an accepting unit that accepts part-designation information for designating a plurality of parts to be printed included in data, processing-designation information for designating print processing that prints every K parts of the plurality of parts on at least one surface of a recording medium, where K is a natural number, and printing request information for making a request to print the plurality of parts;

a generating unit that, when the accepting unit accepts the processing-designation information, generates a stacking image formed by stacking a plurality of specific images for specifying respective recorded contents in a plurality of recording media on which the plurality of parts designated by the part-designation information accepted by the accepting unit is recorded;

a display unit that displays a process for sequentially performing an operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image obtained by the obtaining unit and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image while changing one specific image to be selected; and

a printing unit that, when the accepting unit accepts the printing request information after the process is displayed by the display unit, prints the plurality of parts in a state where the print processing has been performed.

9. A display control method comprising:

obtaining a stacking image formed by stacking a plurality of specific images for specifying respective contents of images recorded on at least one surface of each of a plurality of recording media; and

controlling so that a process is displayed on a display screen, the process sequentially performing an operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image while changing one specific image to be selected.

10. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process for display controlling, the process comprising:

obtaining a stacking image formed by stacking a plurality of specific images for specifying respective contents of images recorded on at least one surface of each of a plurality of recording media; and

controlling so that a process is displayed on a display screen, the process sequentially performing an operation to select one specific image from the plurality of specific images in the stacking image and to change the one specific image to represent a state in which at least a part of a recording medium corresponding to the one specific image is turned, to thereby show at least a part of another specific image hidden behind the one specific image while changing one specific image to be selected.
