1. A display control device comprising:
one or more processors configured to execute instructions stored on or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media, the one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having stored instructions thereon comprising at least:
a display region setting unit configured to change a position of a boundary line of one or a plurality of display regions provided on a screen to dynamically change a size of the one or plurality of display regions;
a priority setting unit configured to set relative priority with respect to a plurality of display objects arranged on one of the plurality of display regions; and
a display control unit configured to set attribute information indicating visible or invisible for the plurality of display objects and to control display of the plurality of display objects, based on a positional relationship between the plurality of display objects on the one of the plurality of display regions and the attribute information, wherein
in a case where a positional relationship between the plurality of display objects on the one of the plurality of display regions is changed in accordance with downsizing of the one of the plurality of display regions and the plurality of display objects are close to each other at a predetermined distance or shorter, the display control unit,
the display objects having a priority less than a predetermined value among the display objects arranged on the display region of the one of the plurality of display regions changes the attribute information from visible to invisible in accordance with a priority order from a lower priority, and hides the one or more display objects changed to be invisible as the attribute information, and
when the one of the plurality of display regions is further downsized after hiding all the display objects having the priority less than the predetermined value, the display object having a priority equal to or greater than the predetermined value, maintains a display state of the one or more display objects without changing the attribute information from visible to invisible, and cancels further downsizing of the one of the plurality of display regions.
