ABSTRACT:
A display control device for controlling a display of a display device responding to display processing from a plurality of processing units. A display controlling program controls the display device in response to at least one processing unit. The display controlling program receives a request from one processing unit to acquire one of predefined display areas, and determines whether to provide an authorization to acquire one of a plurality of predefined display areas in response to an acquisition request from the one processing unit. When a plurality of requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas from a plurality of processing units are received, authorization is provided to a single processing unit that made one of the requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas. The display device is instructed by a processor, based on the display controlling program. A memory, connected to the processor, stores the display controlling program. When an acquisition request for the same one of predefined display areas is received, the processor instructs the display device based on the display controlling program.
