Display control device, image processing device and display control method
First Claim
1. A display control device comprising:
- a selection information acquisition unit that acquires selection information representing which process mode has been selected from a plurality of process modes in which different processes are performed;
a control unit that displays first display objects corresponding to set items related to the process mode selected, in a first display region on a screen, and second display objects corresponding to any process mode not selected, in a second display region narrower than the first display region on the screen, on the basis of the selection information acquired by the selection information acquisition unit;
in which the first display region is composed of first to n-th substantially ring-shaped regions (n is 2 or a greater integer) that are concentric to one another, and the (x−
1)th substantially ring-shaped region (x is 2 or a greater integer) is located within the x-th substantially ring-shaped region, which further comprises an importance-information acquisition unit that acquires information items representing the importance degrees of the first display objects to be displayed in the first display region, and in which the control unit displays first display objects, which are more important than the first display objects displayed in the x-th substantially ring-shaped region, in the (x−
1)th substantially ring-shaped region; and
at least one first display object for inputting operation instructions to designate the processing object in selected process mode is displayed in the innermost region of the first ring-shaped region.

Abstract
A technique is provided, which can help the user to know well that process modes have been switched among them, thereby enabling the user to work more efficiently.
A display control device is provided, which comprises: a selection information acquisition unit 201 that acquires selection information representing which process mode has been selected from a plurality of process modes in which different processes are performed; and a control unit 202 that displays display objects corresponding to set items related to the process mode selected, in a first display region on a screen, and display objects corresponding to any process mode not selected, in a second display region narrower than the first display region on the screen, on the basis of the selection information acquired by the selection information acquisition unit 201.

1. A display control device comprising:
-
a selection information acquisition unit that acquires selection information representing which process mode has been selected from a plurality of process modes in which different processes are performed; a control unit that displays first display objects corresponding to set items related to the process mode selected, in a first display region on a screen, and second display objects corresponding to any process mode not selected, in a second display region narrower than the first display region on the screen, on the basis of the selection information acquired by the selection information acquisition unit; in which the first display region is composed of first to n-th substantially ring-shaped regions (n is 2 or a greater integer) that are concentric to one another, and the (x−
1)th substantially ring-shaped region (x is 2 or a greater integer) is located within the x-th substantially ring-shaped region, which further comprises an importance-information acquisition unit that acquires information items representing the importance degrees of the first display objects to be displayed in the first display region, and in which the control unit displays first display objects, which are more important than the first display objects displayed in the x-th substantially ring-shaped region, in the (x−
1)th substantially ring-shaped region; andat least one first display object for inputting operation instructions to designate the processing object in selected process mode is displayed in the innermost region of the first ring-shaped region. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
a display control device; an operation input unit that receives operation instructions a user has input on the basis of the items displayed on the display control device; and an image-processing unit that performs an image processing in accordance with the operation instructions received by the operation input unit; and the display control device comprising; a selection information acquisition unit that acquires selection information representing which process mode has been selected from a plurality of process modes in which different processes are performed; a control unit that displays first display objects corresponding to set items related to the process mode selected, in a first display region on a screen, and second display objects corresponding to any process mode not selected, in a second display region narrower than the first display region on the screen, on the basis of the selection information acquired by the selection information acquisition unit; in which the first display region is composed of first to n-th substantially ring-shaped regions (n is 2 or a greater integer) that are concentric to one another, and the (x-1) th substantially ring-shaped region (x is 2 or a greater integer) is located within the x-th substantially ring-shaped region, which further comprises an importance-information acquisition unit that acquires information items representing the importance degrees of the first display objects to be displayed in the first display region, and in which the control unit displays first display objects, which are more important than the first display objects displayed in the x-th substantially ring-shaped region, in the (x-1)th substantially ring-shaped region; and at least one first display object for inputting operation instructions to designate the processing object in selected process mode is displayed in the innermost region of the first ring-shaped region.
