It is checked whether the user is younger than age 60. If the age is 60 or older (NO), the process proceeds to step S12. In step S12, the processing unit 3 allows the user to input whether or not the user has presbyopia from the input unit 2. If the user has presbyopia (YES), the process proceeds to step S13.

The processing section 3 allows the user to input the presbyopia level from the input section 2 in step S13.
At 14, the screen is displayed in the target screen mode corresponding to the input presbyopia level on the elderly person target screen 20. Also,
If it is determined in step S2 that the user file has been registered in the user file (YES), the processing unit 3 determines in step S15 whether the screen is one of the elderly target screen 20 or the general target screen 11 according to the registered content. Display. Further, the processing unit 3 displays a screen on the general target screen 11 when the user is under 60 years old (YES) in step S11 and when the user is not presbyopia in step S12 (NO).

On the other hand, when the presbyopia progresses, for example, when the presbyopia progresses from the presbyopia level 1 to the presbyopia level 2, the change of the presbyopia level is selected and the presbyopia 2 target screen is selected. In such a case, a change content explanation screen 25 is displayed to exemplify a change point such as a change in the size of a character. For example, when progressing from the presbyopia level 4 to the presbyopia level 5, a change such as addition of a voice is performed. Points will be exemplified. In addition, there are two cases, that is, the case where the user wears glasses and the case where the user removes the glasses, and the presbyopia level can be returned so as to be able to cope with both cases. Also in this case, a change in the size of the character is actually illustrated on the change description screen 25.

If the user wears glasses, for example, a glasses mark is displayed. If the user does not wear glasses, the glasses mark is not displayed, and the two cases are selected. If it is possible, the same person can immediately select two screen display modes. For example, if you are wearing glasses, turn on the glasses mark and operate the personal computer on the general target screen 11, and if you remove glasses, turn off the glasses marks and turn on the elderly target screen 20 corresponding to the presbyopia level. PC operation can be performed.
