Abstract
A computer evaluates a facial expression of a subject. More specifically, the computer obtains a reference for physiological information of a facial area of the subject in response to occurrence of a given incident. Further, the computer obtains a measurement result of the physiological information of the facial area of the subject at a targeted timing for evaluation. The computer generates evaluation information about a facial expression of the subject using the reference and the measurement result, and outputs the evaluation information.
