First Claim
1. A display control device for displaying, on a screen, a plurality of display objects related to a process object to undergo a predetermined process and associated with items set for the predetermined process, said device comprising:
- an object-information acquisition unit that acquires information for identifying the process object;
an extraction unit that extracts, from the display objects, some display objects corresponding to set items that can be used to perform the predetermined process on the process object identified on the basis of the information acquired by the object-information acquisition unit;
an importance-information acquisition unit that acquires information representing a degree of importance that the display object extracted by the extraction unit has in connection with display on the screen; and
a control unit that displays, in accordance with the information acquired by the importance-information acquisition unit, the display objects extracted by the extraction unit in a display region composed of substantially ring-shaped first to n-th regions (n is 2 or a greater integer) concentric to one another, such that a display object having a higher degree of importance than a display object displayed in an x-th region is displayed in an (x−
1)th region located inside the x-th region (x is 2 or a greater integer) and displays with emphasis a second display object that has a selection frequency higher than a predetermined value, the selection frequency is a frequency of selecting the second display object after selecting a first display object, if the first display object is selected.

9. A display control method of displaying, on a screen, a plurality of display objects related to a process object to undergo a predetermined process and associated with items set for the predetermined process, said method comprising:
-
acquiring information for identifying the process object; extracting, from the display objects, some display objects corresponding to set items that can be used to perform the predetermined process on the process object identified on the basis of the information for identifying the process object; acquiring information representing degrees of importance that the display objects extracted have in connection with display on the screen; and displaying, in accordance with the information acquired and representing the degree of importance, the display objects extracted, in a display region composed of substantially ring-shaped first to n-th regions (n is 2 or a greater integer) concentric to one another, such that a display object having a higher degree of importance than a display object displayed in an x-th region is displayed in an (x−
1)th region located inside the x-th region (x is 2 or a greater integer) and displaying with emphasis a second display object that has a selection frequency higher than a predetermined value, the selection frequency is a frequency of selecting the second display object after selecting a first display object, if the first display object is selected. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
