The process-action display section displays a process action, the process-object display section displays one or more process objects on which the process action displayed by the process-action display section is to be performed, the process-object selection section makes a selection from the one or more process objects displayed by the process-object display section, and the display controller performs control to display a different process action in the same display region of the process-action display section when the selection made from the one or more process objects is different, the selection being made by the process-object selection section. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A display device comprising: a process-action display section that displays a process action, and an execution command which, if activated, starts execution of the process action on a selected object; a process-object display section that displays one or more process objects on which the process action displayed by the process-action display section is to be performed; a process-object selection section that makes a selection from the one or more process objects displayed by the process-object display section; and a display controller that performs control to change the display of the process action in the same display region of the process-action display section when the selection made by the process-object selection section changes, and performs control to change the display of the execution command when no process object is selected from when at least one process object is selected. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The display device according to claim 1, wherein when none of the one or more process objects has been selected by the process-object selection section, the display controller performs control to display a process action indicating that all of the one or more process objects are processed. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The display device according to claim 2, wherein the process-object selection section also serves as a process-object selection receiving section that receives a process-object selection. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The display device according to claim 3, wherein: when no process object is selected, the execution command is displayed to indicate that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on all of the one or more objects displayed by the process-object display section, and when at least one process object is selected, the execution command is displayed so that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on the at least one process object selected. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The display device according to claim 2, wherein: when no process object is selected, the execution command is displayed to indicate that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on all of the one or more objects displayed by the process-object display section, and when at least one process object is selected, the execution command is displayed so that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on the at least one process object, selected. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The display device according to claim 1, wherein the display controller performs control to display a process action that differs for the case where all of the one or more process objects have been selected by the process-object selection section and for the case where at least one of the one or more process objects has not been selected by the process-object selection section. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The display device according to claim 6, wherein the process-object selection section also serves as a process-object selection receiving section that receives a process-object selection. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The display device according to claim 7, wherein: when no process object is selected, the execution command is displayed to indicate that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on all of the one or more objects displayed by the process-object display section, and when at least one process object is selected, the execution command is displayed so that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on the at least one process object selected. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The display device according to claim 6, wherein: when no process object is selected, the execution command is displayed to indicate that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on all of the one or more objects displayed by the process-object display section, and when at least one process object is selected, the execution command is displayed so that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on the at least one process object selected. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The display device according to claim 1, wherein the process-object selection section also serves as a process-object selection receiving section that receives a process-object selection. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The display device according to claim 10, wherein: when no process object is selected, the execution command is displayed to indicate that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on all of the one or more objects displayed by the process-object display section, and when at least one process object is selected, the execution command is displayed so that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on the at least one process object selected. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The display device according to claim 1, wherein: when no process object is selected, the execution command is displayed to indicate that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on all of the one or more objects displayed by the process-object display section, and when at least one process object is selected, the execution command is displayed so that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on the at least one process object selected. ### Claim 13 An image processing apparatus comprising: an image processing execution unit that performs image processing; and a display device that displays a process action to be performed by the image processing execution unit, the display device including: a process-action display section that displays a process action, and an execution command which, if activated, starts execution of the process action on a selected object; a process-object display section that displays one or more process objects on which the process action displayed by the process-action display section is to be performed; a process-object selection section that makes a selection from the one or more process objects displayed by the process-object display section: and a display controller that performs control to change the display of the process action in the same display region of the process-action display section when the selection made by the process-object selection section changes, and performs control to change the display of the execution command when no process object is selected from when at least one process object is selected. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The image processing apparatus according to claim 13, wherein: when no process object is selected, the execution command is displayed to indicate that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on all of the one or more objects displayed by the process-object display section, and when at least one process object is selected, the execution command is displayed so that, if activated, starts execution of the process action on the at least one process object selected. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process for display, the process comprising: displaying a process action and an execution command which, if activated, starts execution of the process action on a selected object; displaying one or more process objects on which the displayed process action is to be performed; making a selection from the one or more displayed process objects: performing control to change the display of the process action in the same display region when the selection made from the one or more process objects changes; and performing control to change the display of the execution command when no process object is selected from when at least one process object is selected.
