Abstract:
The present invention provides a line-of-sight operation-apparatus, a method, and a medical device by which it is possible to appropriately determine whether a movement of a line-of-sight is intended by a user and to prevent the user from being forced to carry a burden. The line-of-sight operation-apparatus includes a display screen, a display control unit to display an icon having an animation-image on the display screen, a line-of-sight detection unit that detects a line-of-sight of a user, a following determination unit that determines, on the basis of a result of detection performed by the line-of-sight detection unit, whether a movement of the line-of-sight of the user follows a movement of the animation-image, and an output unit that outputs information indicating that the icon has been selected in the case where the following determination unit determines that the movement of the line-of-sight of the user follows the movement of the animation-image.

Claim (Index 3):
The line-of-sight operation apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a surrounding characteristics acquisition unit that acquires, as display characteristics of a surrounding region, at least any one of a movement, a color, a shape, or a pattern in display of a surrounding region of the icon or a surrounding region of the animation image; and an animation image determination unit that obtains the display characteristics within a certain limitation based on the display characteristics of the surrounding region that have been acquired by the surrounding characteristics acquisition unit to determine display characteristics of the animation image, wherein the display control unit sets the limitation by performing display control of the animation image on the basis of the display characteristics of the animation image determined by the animation image determination unit.
