<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform an information input without closely observing a fixed area for a long time by deciding the selection of a selection element on a screen which is closely observed by a device observer when his blinking operation is detected by outputting a signal that determines an information input. SOLUTION: A line of sight detector 101 measures the position of a cornea reflected image of infrared light and detects the direction of a line of sight, and a blink detector 102 detects the existence of the cornea reflected image of the infrared light and detects whether the eyelids of a user are closed. The detector 101 discriminates whether the device user closely observes a selection element by showing the selection element on a display 103. When it is discriminated that he closely observes the selection element, the detector 102 discriminates whether the user performs a blinking operation, and when it is discriminated that he performs the blinking operation, an input defined signal that shows that the input of information corresponding to the selection element is decided is sent through an inputting and outputting part 104 to/from an external device.</p> |
