It is characterized by

The first aspect of the present invention also provides a control method suitable for the above apparatus. That is, this method displays a command acceptance image that receives a command from the user on the display screen of the display device, and switches the acceptance image displayed on the display screen according to the command from the user. The personal information data is read from the medium in which the data representing the personal information is stored. The personal information data is read, and based on the read personal information data, it is determined whether or not the instruction acceptance image needs to be changed. The display device is controlled so as to display different command acceptance images depending on whether it is determined that the change is necessary or not.

According to the first aspect of the invention, personal information (eg, user's age, user's date of birth, user's sex,
The personal information data is read from a medium (credit card, mobile phone, employee ID card, membership card, etc.) in which data representing the user's origin, nationality, etc.) is stored. When the personal information is read, it is determined whether or not the command acceptance image displayed on the display screen needs to be changed from a normal command acceptance image. The display device is controlled so that different command accepting images are displayed depending on whether it is determined that the command accepting image needs to be changed or not.

According to the first aspect of the invention, the command acceptance image displayed on the display device can be changed from the normal case based on the personal information. A command acceptance image suitable for the user's operation is displayed on the display screen.

When the personal information is information that can identify the age of the user, the determining means determines that the age of the user represented by the personal information data read by the personal information data reading means is the first threshold. It is necessary to change the command acceptance image when at least one of a value age (for example, 70 years old) or more and a second threshold age (for example, 10 years old) lower than the first threshold age Will be determined. In this case, when the determination unit determines that the command reception image needs to be changed, the display control unit includes the command reception image more than when the determination unit does not determine that the command reception image needs to be changed. It will increase the size of the letters.

It is difficult for the elderly and children to see the fine print.
When the user's age is higher than the first threshold age,
When the age is lower than the second threshold age, it is determined that the user is an elderly person or a child. The size of the character included in the command reception image is made larger than the size of the character included in the normal command reception image. Even if the user is an elderly person or a child, the characters included in the command reception image can be easily seen and the command can be easily given.

A second aspect of the present invention is a user interface for displaying a command reception image for receiving a command from a user on a display screen of a display device and switching the reception image displayed on the display screen according to a command from the user. In the device,

A transmitting means for transmitting to the server that can access the information database, a receiving means for receiving the personal information data transmitted from the server in response to the transmission of the personal identification information data from the transmitting means to the server, and the receiving means. Determination means for determining whether or not it is necessary to change the command reception image based on the received personal information data,
And display control means for controlling the display device so as to display different command acceptance images depending on whether the decision means determines that the command acceptance image needs to be changed or not. And

The second invention also provides a control method suitable for the user interface device. That is,
According to this method, a command reception image for receiving a command from a user is displayed on a display screen of a display device, and a reception screen displayed on the display screen is switched in response to a command from the user. The personal identification information data is read from the medium in which the data representing the information is stored, and the read personal identification information data is transmitted to a server that can access the personal information database in which the personal information is stored. Receiving personal information data transmitted from the server in response to the transmission to the server, and determining whether the command acceptance image needs to be changed based on the received personal information data,
The display device is controlled so as to display different command accepting images depending on whether it is determined that the command accepting image needs to be changed or not.

According to the second invention, a medium (credit card, cash card, mobile phone) in which data representing individual identification information (information that can identify an individual such as name, telephone number, e-mail address) is stored. Etc.), the personal identification information data is read. The read personal identification information data is transmitted to the server.

The server can access a personal information database in which personal information is stored, and receives the personal information data transmitted from the user interface device. When the personal information data is received by the server, the personal information about the user specified by the personal information data is retrieved in the personal information database (a lot of personal information is stored).
Data representing the personal information found by the search is given to the server and transmitted from the server to the user interface device.

In the user interface device, the personal information data transmitted from the server is received. Based on the received personal information data, it is determined whether the instruction acceptance image needs to be changed. When it is determined that the change is necessary, the command reception image is changed so as to be different from that when the change is not determined to be necessary.

Also in the second aspect of the invention, the command acceptance image displayed on the display device can be changed from the normal case based on the personal information. A command acceptance image suitable for the user's operation is displayed on the display screen.

When the personal information is information that can identify the age of the user, the determining means determines that the age of the user represented by the personal information data received by the receiving means is equal to or greater than the first threshold age. It may be judged that the change of the command reception image is necessary when at least one of the second threshold ages lower than the first threshold age is equal to or less than the second threshold age. Further, the display control means is included in the command reception image when the determination means determines that the command reception image needs to be changed, compared to when the determination is not necessary. It will increase the size of the letters.

Also in the second aspect of the invention, since the size of the characters included in the command receiving image can be made larger than the size of the characters included in the normal command receiving image, the command receiving can be performed even if the user is an elderly person or a child. The characters contained in the image are easier to see and commands are easier to give.

When the personal information is age, the font of the characters included in the command reception image can be changed. Further, when the command reception image includes a map, it can be symbolized or information unnecessary according to age can be deleted from the map. Further, by changing the hierarchical structure of the command reception image, it is possible to prevent the unnecessary command reception image from being displayed on the display screen. Further, if there is a command button or the like in the command reception image, the area of the command button or the like can be enlarged.

When the advertisement image is displayed on the command acceptance image, the advertisement content can be changed according to the age, and the BGM, background image, expression, etc. can be changed.

Further, when the user can determine that the child is a child based on the personal information, it is possible to shake the phonetic characters and frequently use the hiragana characters in the command reception image. Furthermore, it is possible to add a voice guide and to limit functions such as the number of sheets and the amount of money.

Further, if the nationality and the place of birth are known from the personal information, the sentence displayed on the command reception image can be used as the dialect of the user's native language and place of birth.

Furthermore, if the user is identified as a woman based on the personal information, the command acceptance image can be changed to an image in a bright color that the woman prefers.

Various patterns may be created in advance for the data representing the command acceptance image, and an image suitable for the personal information may be displayed on the display screen. Data representing the command reception image may be generated so as to obtain a suitable image.
