PRESENTATION OF DATA; RECORD CARRIERS; HANDLING RECORD CARRIERS ## Abstract A processing apparatus includes: a processing unit that performs plural predetermined processes; a display unit; a creation unit that creates a first process receiving portion and a second process receiving portion, each of which receives an instruction to any one of the plural predetermined processes on the display unit; and an execution portion that executes the process, in a case where the instruction is received by the first process receiving portion, after receiving the instruction again, whereas, in a case where the instruction is received by the second process receiving portion, the execution portion executing the process without receiving the instruction again. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A processing apparatus comprising: a processor configured to perform a plurality of predetermined processes, and execute a creation unit and an execution portion; and a display; wherein the creation unit is configured to create a first process receiving portion and a second process receiving portion, the first process receiving portion and the second process receiving portion each being configured to be displayed on the display, the first process receiving portion being configured to receive an instruction to perform a first process from among the plurality of predetermined processes, the second process receiving portion being configured to receive an instruction to perform a second process among the plurality of predetermined processes, the execution portion is configured to execute the first process, in a case where the instruction is received by the first process receiving portion, after receiving another instruction, and to execute the second process, in a case where the instruction is received by the second process receiving portion, without receiving another instruction, the creation unit is configured to create one of the first process receiving portion and the second process receiving portion in response to an instruction inputted by a user, and the creation unit is configured to cause a display of the second process receiving portion to be different from a display of the first process receiving portion in response to the instruction inputted by the user, the display is configured to display a confirmation screen that presents setting contents associated with the first process receiving portion in the case where the instruction is received by the first process receiving portion, and the first process is executed under the associated setting contents after receiving the another instruction. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein creation of the second process receiving portion is prohibited for a part of the plurality of processes. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein creation of the first process receiving portion is permitted for the part of the plurality of processes. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the part of the plurality of processes is stipulated by at least one of a kind of the process, a parameter regarding an output of the process and an amount of a resource, except for the processing apparatus, used for the process. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) The processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the creation unit is configured to set the part of the plurality of processes, for which creation of the second process receiving portion is prohibited, in response to an instruction based on preset authority. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein arrangement of the second process receiving portion in a predetermined region where the first process receiving portion is able to be arranged is prohibited. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein prohibition of arrangement of the second process receiving portion in a region where arrangement thereof is prohibited is canceled or is able to be canceled based on a status of utilization of a process by the processor. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the predetermined region is set on a top left side of the display region relative to a center thereof. ### Claim 9 (depends on 6) The processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the display is configured to display a first display screen and a second display screen, and the first process receiving portion is able to be arranged in both the first display screen and the second display screen, whereas, arrangement of the second process receiving portion in the first display screen is prohibited. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The processing apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the first display screen is displayed in priority to the second display screen. ### Claim 11 (depends on 6) The processing apparatus according to claim 6, wherein prohibition of arrangement of the second process receiving portion in a region where arrangement thereof is prohibited is canceled based on a status of utilization of a process by the processor. ### Claim 12 A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising: causing a processing unit to perform a plurality of predetermined processes; causing a display unit to display; creating a first process receiving portion and a second process receiving portion, the first process receiving portion and the second process receiving portion each being configured to be displayed on the display unit, the first process receiving portion being configured to receive an instruction to perform a first process from among the plurality of predetermined processes, the second process receiving portion being configured to receive an instruction to perform a second process among the plurality of predetermined processes; and executing the first process, in a case where the instruction is received by the first process receiving portion, after receiving another instruction, and executing the second process, in a case where the instruction is received by the second process receiving portion, without receiving another instruction, creating one of the first process receiving portion and the second process receiving portion in response to an instruction inputted by a user, causing the first processing receiving portion to be displayed differently from the second processing receiving portion in response to the instruction inputted by the user, and causing a confirmation screen that presents setting contents associated with the first process receiving portion to be displayed in the case where the instruction is received by the first process receiving portion, wherein the first process is executed under the associated setting contents after receiving the another instruction. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program according to claim 12, wherein arrangement of the second process receiving portion in a predetermined region where the first process receiving portion is able to be arranged is prohibited. ### Claim 14 (depends on 12) The non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program according to claim 12, wherein the process further comprises displaying, with the display unit, a first display screen and a second display screen, and wherein the first process receiving portion is able to be arranged in both the first display screen and the second display screen, and the second process receiving portion is prohibited from being arranged in the first display screen. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the creation unit is configured to cause the display of the second process receiving portion to be different from the display of the first process receiving portion such that a mark is added to the second process receiving portion. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the first process receiving portion and the second process receiving portion are arranged on a same display screen.
