By the way, on such an operation screen, display is performed using a certain color tone including black and white, but this color tone is fixed. For this reason, depending on the person (operator) operating this, the screen may be very difficult to see due to its color vision characteristics.
[0006]
In order to solve this problem, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-154655 proposes a system capable of converting the color tone of a screen. In this method, characters included in an image serving as a background are color-converted so that the characters are easy to see. Character information is extracted from image information, and the color information is subjected to color conversion according to a set color conversion rule. This is converted and returned to image information to be displayed together with the image. In particular, in color-blind people or elderly people, it may be difficult to recognize characters depending on the combination of the background color and the color of the characters. Is what you do.
[0007]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional system, the color of a character is converted in accordance with a set color conversion rule, but the combination of the background color and the color of the character, which makes the character difficult to see, differs depending on the color-blind person or the elderly. Given this, it is necessary to change the color conversion rules accordingly.
[0008]
However, even if a user of such a system can select a set color conversion rule, he or she generally does not know which color conversion rule converts the color and how. By using the conversion rules as a trial, it is possible to find out a color conversion rule suitable for the person himself. For this reason, in order to make the displayed characters easy to see, a great deal of time is required for the preceding work. In particular, when a system relating to a terminal device generally used widely, such as an ATM or a ticket vending machine, is applied, there is a problem that the operation is troublesome and the user is difficult to use.
[0009]
