Abstract:
1. A screen control device comprising: a storage unit that stores a content of a function used in a process executed in an information processing apparatus in association with setting information set to a setting item of the function; a function selection unit configured to calculate a usage frequency of each function stored in the storage unit, and select at least one function based on the usage frequency; a setting item determination unit configured to determine a setting item for receiving an input from a user from setting items relating to a function selected by the function selection unit, based on the setting information stored in the storage unit; a display controller configured to display a screen that enables to receive an instruction to execute the function selected by the function selection unit and a screen that receives an input to a setting item determined by the setting item determination unit from a user, wherein in a case where processes executed by using different functions stored in the storage unit and executed separately can be achieved by one function provided by the information processing apparatus, the function selection unit calculates a usage frequency of the one function by adding up a usage frequency of one of the different functions used in the processes and a usage frequency of the one function, and wherein in a case where processes executed by using different functions stored in the storage unit can be achieved by one function provided by the information processing apparatus, the function selection unit calculates a usage frequency after replacing different functions used in the processes with the one function.
