  • Patent number: 10771641
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a creating unit, a state informing unit, and a setting unit. The creating unit creates an application for implementing a specific object by using at least one basic processing function. The state informing unit provides information concerning a processing state of the at least one basic processing function and a processing state of the application. The setting unit receives information for determining a display mode of a setting screen for setting settings information or a checking screen for checking the processing state of the application, and sets a determined display mode. The display mode is used for executing the application.
