Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to acquire biological information on a user while an operation related to a process is performed, and output information that suggests setting for the process in a case where the biological information indicates a peaceful psychological state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to
acquire biological information on a user while an operation related to a process is performed,
determine whether the user is in a peaceful psychological state based on the acquired biological information,
in response to determining that the user is in the peaceful psychological state, display a setting screen for the user to change a first setting for the process, and
in response to determining that the user is not in the peaceful psychological state, not display the setting screen for the user to change the first setting for the process.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of settings are provided for the process, and
the first setting is a setting from among the plurality of settings that has a frequency of use by the user that is less than or equal to a first threshold from among the plurality of settings.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the first setting has a frequency of use by other users that is greater than or equal to a second threshold.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of settings are provided for the process, and
the first setting is different from settings that have already been made for the process in accordance with the operation by the user, and is from among the plurality of settings.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of settings are provided for the process, and
the first setting is newly added for the process, and is from among the plurality of settings.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor displays the setting screen on a display section, and
the setting screen includes an operation image that is used for the operation to make the first setting.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,
wherein the processor displays the setting screen on a display section, and
the setting screen includes an operation image that is used for the operation to make the first setting.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,
wherein the processor displays the setting screen on a display section, and
the setting screen includes an operation image that is used for the operation to make the first setting.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the processor displays the setting screen on a display section, and
the setting screen includes an operation image that is used for the operation to make the first setting.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,
wherein the processor displays the setting screen on a display section, and
the setting screen includes an operation image that is used for the operation to make the first setting.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the processor displays the setting screen on a display section, and
the setting screen includes effect information that indicates an effect to be obtained through the first setting.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 ,
wherein
the setting screen includes effect information that indicates an effect to be obtained through the first setting.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 ,
wherein
the setting screen includes effect information that indicates an effect to be obtained through the first setting.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 ,
wherein
the setting screen includes effect information that indicates an effect to be obtained through the first setting.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,
wherein
the setting screen includes effect information that indicates an effect to be obtained through the first setting.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 ,
wherein
the setting screen includes effect information that indicates an effect to be obtained through the first setting.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,
wherein the effect information indicates a cost to be reduced through the first setting.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 12 ,
wherein the effect information indicates a cost to be reduced through the first setting.

19. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 ,
wherein the process is a process of generating an image, and
the effect information includes a first image generated through the process when the first setting is not made, and a second image generated through the process when the first setting is made.

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
acquiring biological information on a user while an operation related to a process is performed,
determining whether the user is in a peaceful psychological state based on the acquired biological information,
in response to determining that the user is in the peaceful psychological state, displaying a setting screen for the user to change a setting for the process, and
in response to determining that the user is not in the peaceful psychological state, not displaying the setting screen for the user to change the setting for the process.
