Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a fatigue determining portion determining whether an operator is tired or not by referring to fatigue information on the operator'"'"'s fatigue, and a processing control portion causing a first display for recovering the operator to be shown on a display portion together with a working display on which the operator is working, when the fatigue determining portion determines that the operator is tired.

Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a fatigue determining portion determining whether an operator is tired or not by referring to fatigue information on the operator'"'"'s fatigue; and

a processing control portion causing a first display for recovering the operator to be shown on a display portion together with a working display on which the operator is working, when the fatigue determining portion determines that the operator is tired, and

wherein the fatigue determining portion determines again whether the operator is tired or not by referring to fatigue information that is obtained again after the processing control portion causes the first display to be shown on the display portion, and the processing control portion causes a second display for recovering the operator to be shown on the display portion instead of the working display, when the fatigue determining portion determines again that the operator is tired.

3. The information processing apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fatigue determining portion determines again whether the operator is tired or not by referring to fatigue information that is obtained again after the processing control portion causes the second display to be shown on the display portion, and the processing control portion makes the operator stop processing the work, when the fatigue determining portion determines again that the operator is tired.

2. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a fatigue determining portion determining whether an operator is tired or not by referring to fatigue information on the operator'"'"'s fatigue; and

a processing control portion causing a first display for recovering the operator to be shown on a display portion together with a working display on which the operator is working, when the fatigue determining portion determines that the operator is tired, and

wherein the fatigue determining portion determines again whether the operator is tired or not by referring to fatigue information that is obtained again after the processing control portion causes the first display to be shown on the display portion, and the processing control portion makes the operator stop processing the work, when the fatigue determining portion determines again that the operator is tired.

4. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a fatigue determining portion determining whether an operator is tired or not by referring to fatigue information on the operator'"'"'s fatigue; and

a processing control portion causing a first display for recovering the operator to be shown on a display portion on which the operator is working, when the fatigue determining portion determines the operator is tired,

wherein the fatigue determining portion determines again whether the operator is tired or not on the basis of fatigue information that is obtained again after the processing control portion causes the first display to be shown on the display portion, and the processing control portion makes the operator stop processing the work, when the fatigue determining portion determines again that the operator is tired.
