Abstract

A terminal device is provided that has a collation unit, a specification unit, and a display unit. The collation unit: references a storage unit that stores built-in display information that specifies a built-in display and a plurality of pieces of external display information that specify a plurality of connected external displays; and collates the built-in display information and the plurality of pieces of external display information. On the basis of the results of the collation, the specification unit specifies a display that has a specific positional relationship with a reading device for biological information. The display unit displays, on the specified display, a screen for touch locations that represent a read operation for the biological information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal device comprising:
a collator that references a storage storing a set of internal display information for identifying an internal display and multiple sets of display information for identifying multiple displays that are connected, and that collates the set of internal display information with the multiple sets of display information;
an identifier that, based on results from the collation, identifies a display having a specific positional relationship with respect to a biometric information reading device;
a display device that presents, on the identified display, a screen having a touch area indicating a biometric information reading operation; and
a registrator that, during a basic input/output system (BIOS) process when booting or rebooting the terminal device, acquires the internal display information and registers the acquired internal display information in the storage,
wherein the identifier identifies the identified display having the specific positional relationship with respect to the biometric information reading device based on results obtained by collating the acquired internal display information stored in the storage with the multiple sets of display information to find a match.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when a display having the specific positional relationship with respect to the biometric information reading device is not identified, the display device presents a screen providing a prompt to set up a display having the specific positional relationship with respect to the biometric information reading device.
