Abstract
The display control device includes a display control unit, a selection detecting unit, an icon identifying unit, and an aggregate-icon creating unit. The selection detecting unit detects whether a plurality of icons displayed on a display screen have been selected as if the icons were connected along a line. When the selection detecting unit detects that the icons have been selected as if the icons were connected along a line, the icon identifying unit identifies the selected icons along the line. The aggregate-icon creating unit creates an aggregate icon aggregating the icons identified by the icon identifying unit. The display control unit performs control operations to display the aggregate icon created by the aggregate-icon creating unit on the display screen.
