Abstract

A control apparatus includes a picture providing unit configured to provide a picture for allowing a user to operate, and an operation detector configured to detect operation of the user performed on the picture. In addition, the control apparatus includes a biological information detector configured to detect biological information of the user that is different from the operation of the user, and a controller configured to change the picture depending on the biological information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A control apparatus comprising:
a picture providing unit configured to provide a picture for allowing a user to operate; an operation detector configured to detect operation of the user performed on the picture; a biological information detector configured to detect biological information of the user that is different from the operation of the user; a controller configured to change the picture depending on a change of the biological information.

2 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller changes at least one of a display position, a display speed, and a number of displays of the picture, depending on the change of the biological information.

3 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller changes the picture when the biological information is outside a predetermined range.

4 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the biological information is a pulse rate or a heart rate.

5 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the operation detector is a touch panel.

6 . The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller does not change the picture when the biological information is within a predetermined range, performs at least one of widening a display range of the picture, making a movement of the picture fast, increasing a number of displays of the picture, and decreasing a display size of the picture when the biological information is less than the predetermined range, and performs at least one of narrowing the display range of the picture, making the movement of the picture slow, decreasing the number of displays of the picture, and increasing the display size of the picture when the biological information exceeds the predetermined range.
