information processing apparatus includes a first display control unit that displays an image on a display unit, a selection unit that selects an operation image from a group of operation images used to receive different operations with respect to the displayed image, depending on a magnification of the displayed image, and a second display control unit that displays the selected operation image on the display unit. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising a processor programmed to: display an image on a display; and concurrently display with the image on the display, an operation image selected from a group of operation images used to receive different operations with respect to the displayed image, depending on a magnification of the displayed image, with the proviso that: when the magnification of the displayed image is higher than a threshold value, and the information processing apparatus is thus in a page enlargement display mode in which a short side and a long side of an outer circumference of the displayed image are not displayed, an operation image that is not a prescribed first operation image is selected from the group of operation images and displayed, wherein the displayed operation image that is not the prescribed first operation image includes a slider operation image used to receive an operation for changing a size of the displayed image by changing a position of a slider image; and when the magnification of the displayed image is lower than the threshold value, and the short side and the long side of the outer circumference of the displayed image are displayed, the slider operation image is not displayed, and an operation image that is not the slider operation image is displayed from the group of operation images. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to when the magnification of the displayed image is equal to the threshold value, display the operation image that is not the prescribed first operation image from the group of operation images. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein: the prescribed first operation image is at least one of an enlargement operation image used to receive an operation for enlarging the displayed image, a rotating operation image used to receive an operation for rotating the displayed image, and a switching operation image used to receive an operation for switching to display an image different from the displayed image. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to when the magnification of the displayed image is lower than the threshold value, display the operation image that is not the slider operation image and is not a prescribed second operation image from the group of operation images. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The information processing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the prescribed second operation image is at least one of a reduction operation image used to receive an operation for reducing the displayed image, and a shift operation image used to receive an operation for displaying an indication position image that represents an indication position and for shifting the displayed image by shifting the indication position image. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to: when the magnification of the displayed image is equal to or higher than the threshold value, additionally display another operation image from the group of operation images. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The information processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the another operation image is at least one of a reduction operation image used to receive an operation for reducing the displayed image, and a shift operation image used to receive an operation for displaying an indication position image that represents an indication position and for shifting the displayed image by shifting the indication position image. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the threshold value is a magnification in a state where the outer circumference of the displayed image is not displayed in a display space of the displayed image. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to: in a state where a size-change operation image used to receive an operation for changing a size of the displayed image and the slider operation image are displayed, stop displaying the slider operation image when the size-change operation image is operated. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to: in a state where an enlargement operation image used to receive an operation for enlarging a size of the displayed image and the slider operation image are displayed, stop displaying the enlargement operation image when the magnification is changed to be smaller than the threshold value by operation of the slider operation image. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to: when the magnification is lower than the threshold value, additionally display another operation image from the group of operation images. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The information processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the another operation image is at least one of an enlargement operation image used to receive an operation for enlarging the displayed image, a rotating operation image used to receive an operation for rotating the displayed image, and a switching operation image used to receive an operation for switching to display an image different from the displayed image. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to: enlarge the displayed image based on a position depending on a file format of data representing the displayed image when an operation for enlarging the displayed image is performed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to: when displaying a rectangular image and performing an operation for enlarging the rectangular image, enlarge the displayed image (i) based on a corner in a case where the corner of the displayed image is displayed, (ii) based on a center position of a side in a case where the side of the displayed image is displayed and the corner is not displayed, and (iii) based on a center position of a space where the displayed image is displayed in a case where neither the corner nor the side is displayed. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor is programmed to: when an operation for indicating a position on the displayed image and an operation for enlarging the displayed image are performed, enlarge the displayed image from the indicated position. ### Claim 16 An information processing method comprising: displaying an image on a display; and concurrently displaying with the image on the display, an operation image selected from a group of operation images used to receive different operations with respect to the displayed image, depending on a magnification of the displayed image, with the proviso that: when the magnification of the displayed image is higher than a threshold value, and the image is thus displayed in a page enlargement display mode in which a short side and a long side of an outer circumference of the displayed image are not displayed, an operation image that is not a prescribed first operation image is selected from the group of operation images and displayed, wherein the displayed operation image that is not the prescribed first operation image includes a slider operation image used to receive an operation for changing a size of the displayed image by changing a position of a slider image; and when the magnification of the displayed image is lower than the threshold value, and the short side and the long side of the outer circumference of the displayed image are displayed, the slider operation image is not displayed, and an operation image that is not the slider operation image is displayed from the group of operation images.
