An information processing apparatus includes a position acquisition section, a point of gaze acquisition section, an amendment section, and a determination section. The position acquisition section acquires an input position to a touch panel. The point of gaze acquisition section acquires a point of gaze of a manipulator. The determination section determines whether the input position and the point of gaze satisfy at least one amendment condition. In cases that the determination section determines that the amendment condition is satisfied, the amendment section amends the input position based on the point of gaze. In cases that the determination section does not determine that the amendment condition is satisfied, the amendment section amends the input position by reducing a degree of an influence of the point of gaze as compared with the cases that the determination section determines that the amendment condition is satisfied.

Information processing apparatus and display system

An operation system includes: an operation device manually operated by a user and inputting a command of an operation content to a command target apparatus selected from multiple apparatuses; a selection device selecting one apparatus as the command target apparatus according to multiple visual line regions individually set in relation to the apparatuses and a visual line direction of the user detected by a visual line detection sensor, the one device relating to one visual line region disposed in the visual line direction; and a selection maintaining device maintaining a selection state of the command target apparatus even when the visual line direction is changed to another direction pointing to none of the visual line regions while the command target apparatus is selected.

Operation system

An alerting device, which alerts a driver of a vehicle when the driver is looking at a display unit of a mobile terminal equipped with a camera, includes a gaze determination portion, an alert command portion, and a circumstance determination portion. The gaze determination portion determines whether the driver is looking at the display unit based on an image captured by the camera of the mobile terminal. When the circumstance determination portion determines that a current circumstance is not a gaze allowed circumstance and the gaze determination portion determines that the driver is looking at the display unit, the alert command portion outputs a command to alert the driver of the looking at the display unit. The circumstance determination portion determines that the current circumstance is the gaze allowed circumstance when the vehicle is halted at an intersection by a red traffic light.
