An apparatus is provided for, when the user makes an input manipulation, estimating a manipulation for which the user is likely to make an error, in accordance with the knowledge of the user, and providing a manipulation support such as, for example, automatically displaying a confirmation request for the manipulation for which the probability of the input being an error is high. A device (100) usable for an electronic apparatus (1) operating based on a manipulation of the user includes an input section (101) for receiving a manipulation of the user, a storage section (104) having a database including a plurality of manipulation error patterns stored therein, a determination section (107) for determining whether or not a manipulation confirmation request is necessary based on the manipulation error pattern corresponding to the user, which is determined by referring to the database based on manipulation information which indicates the received manipulation and correction information which indicates whether or not the manipulation needs to be corrected, and an output section (108) for outputting a signal for presenting a manipulation confirmation request message when the confirmation request is to be provided. Each manipulation error pattern is information on a manipulation error on each of functions of a manipulation target apparatus, the information being defined based on a manipulation experience of a plurality of users each having the manipulation experience with an apparatus other than the electronic apparatus (1) which is the manipulation target apparatus. |
