Title: SELECTION OPTION INFORMATION PRESENTATION SYSTEM AND METHOD
Abstract: An image control method includes referencing a first storage section where selection option information, for which a selection operation is received on a display device, is stored in association with a selection timing, and a second storage section where detection information, detected by a detection device that detects at least one of a state of a area at which the display device is disposed or a state of a user, is stored in association with detection time information; and identifying an item of selection option information stored at the first storage section in association with a timing that corresponds to the time information stored at the second storage section in association with detection information indicating a predetermined state; and effecting control so as to display the identified item of selection option information on the display device using a different display mode from that of other displayed selection option information.

Claims: number: 1
text: An image control method that is executable to cause a computer (40, 60) to perform a process, the process comprising:
number: 2
text: The image control method of claim 1, wherein the detection information includes at least one of acoustic pressure in the area, a pulse rate of the user, speech content of the user, movement of the user, or position information on the user.
number: 3
text: The image control method of claim 2, further comprising, when identifying the selection option information:
number: 4
text: The image control method of any one of claim 1 to claim 3, wherein item of the selection option information displayed using a different display mode from that of the other displayed items of the selection option information is displayed using a display mode that has greater visibility than that of the other displayed items of the selection option information.
number: 5
text: The image control method of any one of claim 1 to claim 4, wherein:
number: 6
text: The image control method of any one of claim 1 to claim 5, wherein, in a case in which there is a plurality of items of the selection option information to be displayed using a different display mode from that of the other displayed items of the selection option information:
number: 7
text: The image control method of any one of claim 1 to claim 6, wherein the computer is caused to perform a process to display a graphic representation of a relationship between the detection information and the time information on a display device.
number: 8
text: The image control method of any one of claim 1 to claim 7, wherein the other displayed items of the selection option information are respectively displayed so as to move in an up-down direction or a left-right direction on the display device, and the item of the selection option information displayed using a different display mode from that of the other displayed items of the selection option information is displayed in a stationary state, is displayed so as to move in an opposite direction to the direction in which the other displayed items of the selection option information are moving, or is displayed so as to move in a direction intersecting the direction in which the other displayed items of the selection option information are moving.
number: 9
text: The image control method of any one of claim 1 to claim 8, further comprising displaying, on another display device, the selection option information for which a selection operation on the display device is received.
number: 10
text: An image control device (110, 120), comprising:
number: 11
text: The image control device of claim 10, wherein the detection information includes at least one of acoustic pressure in the area, a pulse rate of the user, speech content of the user, movement of the user, or position information on the user.
number: 12
text: The image control device of claim 10 or claim 11, wherein the controller displays the item of the selection option information displayed using a different display mode from that of the other displayed items of the selection option information using a display mode that has greater visibility than that of the other displayed items of the selection option information.
number: 13
text: The image control device of any one of claim 10 to claim 12, wherein:
number: 14
text: An image control program (30, 50) that is executable to cause a computer to perform a process, the process comprising:
number: 15
text: An image control system (100), comprising:
