INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE DISPLAYING PROGRAM, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an operator to instantly grasp whether a unit of peripheral equipment concerned can instantly execute an operation based on operation-executing instructions and which one of other units of peripheral equipment can instantly operate according to the instructions when the operator gives the instructions to the peripheral equipment. SOLUTION: When a selection detection part detects that one of icons displayed on a display by a display control part, the icon corresponding to an image forming device is selected by an operator (YES in S2), an operation information acquisition part acquires operation information, which indicates the job-execution status of each unit of peripheral equipment which corresponds to each of all the icons displayed on the display, from each unit of peripheral equipment (S3 and S4). While an image forming device corresponding to an icon, the selection of which is detected by the selection detection part, is executing a job (YES in S5), the display control part changes a displaying mode of an icon corresponding to peripheral equipment which is not executing a job (S8).
