receives a handwriting input through a touch panel; generates one or more objects from the handwriting input; and displays at least one of the one or more objects on a display area of the display, wherein based on the identification information, the controller determines whether or not the at least one of the one or more objects is converted into a tag object, and in a case of conversion into the tag object, the controller combines the at least one of the one or more objects and a tag label that is a figure object having a predetermined size so that the at least one of the one or more objects is included in the tag label, and generates the tag object by determining a background color based on the identification information, the tag object being movable to an optional different position and resizable, in a case other than the conversion into the tag object, the controller generates a drawing object from the handwriting input, and the tag object or the drawing object is displayed on the display area of the display, and wherein a size of the tag object included in the tag label is changed according to size change of the tag label. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display control device according to claim 1, wherein the tag object is displayed with the predetermined tag size, and wherein the size of the tag object is reduced to be within the tag size in the case of conversion into the tag object. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The display control device according to claim 2, wherein the size of the tag object is reduced in such a manner that a size of at least a side is the tag size. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The display control device according to claim 1, wherein the tag object is generated when a predetermined period of time elapses after the handwriting input is not received. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The display control device according to claim 1, further comprising an input mode table in which the identification information and an input mode is stored in association with each other, wherein the input mode table is referred to based on the identification information, and, at a time of performing the handwriting input, the object is generated as the tag object in a case where the input mode is a tag pen mode, and the object is generated as the drawing object in a case of another input mode. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The display control device according to claim 5, wherein an attribute in association with the identification information is further stored in the input mode table, and wherein a display state based on the attribute is determined and the object is displayed in the determined display state in a case where the object is displayed. ### Claim 7 A non-transitory recording medium that stores a program causing a computer of a display control device to execute: receiving identification information that identifies an input device from the input device; receiving a handwriting input through a touch panel; generating one or more objects from the handwriting input; and displaying at least one of the one or more objects on a display area of the display, based on the identification information, determining whether or not the at least one of the one or more objects is converted into a tag object, and in a case of conversion into the tag object, combining the at least one of the one or more objects and a tag label that is a figure object having a predetermined size so that the at least one of the one or more objects is included in the tag label, and generating the tag object by determining a background color based on the identification information, the tag object being movable to an optional different position and resizable, in a case other than the conversion into the tag object, generating a drawing object from the handwriting input, and displaying the tag object or the drawing object on the display area of the display, wherein a size of the tag object included in the tag label is changed according to size change of the tag label.
