in a case where the subject is a human, the variety is a human race.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1,
wherein, in a case of performing control for displaying information representing the predetermined number of inspection results of the subject, the processor performs control for displaying information representing a previous inspection result before the last inspection result displayed under the control of the processor.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1,
wherein, in a case of performing control for displaying information representing the predetermined number of inspection results of the same variety as the variety of the subject, the processor performs control for displaying information representing all inspection results to be acquired from a storage device storing the inspection results of the same variety or a part of last inspection results among all the inspection results.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The display control device according to claim 3,
wherein the processor performs control for displaying information representing the predetermined number of inspection results of both of the subject individual and the same variety as the variety of the subject.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1,
wherein the processor performs control for displaying information representing one inspection result by one point.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The display control device according to claim 6,
wherein, in a case where there are a plurality of inspection results having the same value, the processor performs control for displaying information representing the inspection results having the same value on different axes along the one direction.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1,
wherein the processor performs control for displaying information representing the predetermined number of inspection results by a histogram.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1,
wherein the processor performs the control by weighting a frequency of a value being appeared among the predetermined number of inspection results using a smaller weight value when the inspection result having the value is older.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1,
wherein the processor performs control for displaying information representing the predetermined number of inspection results by changing a display state depending on at least one of the number of inspections results of the predetermined number of inspection results or a proportion of inspection results before a predetermined point of time in the predetermined number of inspection results.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The display control device according to claim 10,
wherein the processor performs control for displaying information representing the predetermined number of inspection results by changing color depending on at least one of the number of inspection results of the predetermined number of inspection results or the proportion of inspection results before the predetermined point of time in the predetermined number of inspection results.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1,
wherein the processor performs control for displaying the mark by changing color or density between a case where the last inspection result is an abnormal value and a case where the last inspection result is a normal value.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The display control device according to claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the inspection item selected by an examiner,
wherein the predetermined inspection item is the inspection item received by the processor.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)
