Claims (9)

1. 1 . A display apparatus comprising: one or more processors: acquiring identification information of a peripheral device connected to the display apparatus; searching, based on the identification information, for an image corresponding to the peripheral device via a network; displaying, based on the image searched for, a device image in the display apparatus, the device image corresponding to the peripheral device and associated with the identification information; searching, based on the identification information, for a predetermined number of images that are top ranked with a high degree of matching with the peripheral device; and displaying a list of the predetermined number of the images as the device image associated with the identification information.
2. 2 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further: display the identification information before searching for the image, and display the device image side by side with the identification information or display the device image instead of the identification information after searching for the image.
3. 3 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further display, when a user selects a first image out of the predetermined number of the images displayed in the list, the first image in place of the predetermined number of the images in association with the identification information.
4. 4 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors identify a type of the peripheral device based on the identification information, and search for an image of the identified type.
5. 5 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors search for the image corresponding to the peripheral device based on the identification information and a usage status of the peripheral device.
6. 6 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors further display a registered image, registered in advance in the display apparatus, as the device image associated with the identification information in a case that the image corresponding to the peripheral device is not found in a process of the searching via the network.
7. 7 . The display apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors accept an operation to select whether to display the device image from a user, and display the device image associated with the identification information in a case that an instruction from the user to display the device image is accepted.
8. 8 . A display apparatus comprising: one or more processors: acquiring identification information of a peripheral device connected to the display apparatus; searching, based on the identification information, for an image corresponding to the peripheral device via a network; displaying, based on the image searched for, a device image in the display apparatus, the device image corresponding to the peripheral device and associated with the identification information; and displaying a registered image, registered in advance in the display apparatus, as the device image associated with the identification information in a case that the image corresponding to the peripheral device is not found in a process of the searching via the network.
9. 9 . A display apparatus comprising: one or more processors: acquiring identification information of a peripheral device connected to the display apparatus; searching, based on the identification information, for an image corresponding to the peripheral device via a network; displaying, based on the image searched for, a device image in the display apparatus, the device image corresponding to the peripheral device and associated with the identification information; and accepting an operation to select whether to display the device image from a user, and displaying the device image associated with the identification information in a case that an instruction from the user to display the device image is accepted.

Description

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the corresponding Japanese Patent Application No. 2022-202778 filed on Dec. 20, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus, a display method, and a recording medium with a display program recorded thereon. Conventionally, a system is known in which, on a setting screen for performing settings to devices (peripheral devices) such as a camera, a microphone, or a speaker used in a web meeting, the devices connected to an information processing apparatus (a display apparatus) are displayed in a selectable manner in a predetermined display order. However, with the conventional technique, since the device information (the identification information), such as the model number of a device, is displayed on the setting screen with text characters, it is difficult for the user to intuitively recognize a device connected to the display apparatus. SUMMARY An object of the present disclosure is to provide a display apparatus, a display method, and a recording medium with a display program recorded thereon, which allow a user to easily recognize a peripheral device connected to a display apparatus. A display apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an acquisition processing unit, a search processing unit, and a display processing unit. The acquisition processing unit acquires identification information of a peripheral device connected to the display apparatus. The search processing unit searches for an image corresponding to the peripheral device via a network, based on the identification information acquired by the acquisition processing unit. The display processing unit displays a device image corresponding to the peripheral device in the display apparatus in association with the identification information, based on the image searched for by the search processing unit. A display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for causing one or a plurality of processors to execute: acquiring identification information of a peripheral device connected to a display apparatus; searching for an image corresponding to the peripheral device via a network, based on the identification information; and displaying a device image corresponding to the peripheral device in the display apparatus in association with the identification information, based on the image searched for. A recording medium according to another embodiment of the present disclosure is a recording medium with a program recorded thereon, and the program causes one or a plurality of processors to execute: acquiring identification information of a peripheral device connected to a display apparatus; searching for an image corresponding to the peripheral device via a network, based on the identification information; and displaying a device image corresponding to the peripheral device in the display apparatus in association with the identification information, based on the image searched for. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a display apparatus, a display method, and a recording medium with a display program recorded thereon, which allow a user to easily recognize a peripheral device connected to a display apparatus. This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description with reference where appropriate to the accompanying drawings. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
