  The line-of-sight detection program 9A provides a function for detecting the movement of the user's line-of-sight position. The line-of-sight position corresponds to a position on the touch screen display 2 when a line of sight extending linearly starting from the center position of the pupil in the user's eyeball intersects the touch screen display 2.

  The line-of-sight detection program 9A detects the line-of-sight position as follows. That is, the line-of-sight detection program 9A detects the line-of-sight position by applying an algorithm based on the cornea reflection method to the user's image. Specifically, the line-of-sight detection program 9 </ b> A irradiates infrared rays from the infrared irradiation unit 13 when acquiring a user image. The line-of-sight detection program 9A specifies the position of the pupil and the position of infrared corneal reflection from the acquired user image. The line-of-sight detection program 9A specifies the direction of the line of sight of the user based on the positional relationship between the position of the pupil and the position of infrared corneal reflection. The line-of-sight detection program 9A determines that the direction of the line of sight is the eye corner side if the position of the pupil is closer to the corner of the eye than the position of the corneal reflection, and if the position of the pupil is closer to the eye than the position of the corneal reflection, The direction of the line of sight is determined to be the eye side. For example, the line-of-sight detection program 9A calculates the distance between the user's eyeball and the touch screen display 2 based on the size of the iris. The line-of-sight detection program 9A is based on the direction of the user's line of sight and the distance between the user's eyeball and the touch screen display 2, and the line of sight starting from the pupil is located at the center position of the pupil in the user's eyeball.

  In the above example, the case where the line-of-sight detection program 9A detects the user's line-of-sight position by executing processing using the cornea reflection method is described, but the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the line-of-sight detection program 9A may detect the line-of-sight position by executing an image recognition process on the user's image. For example, the line-of-sight detection program 9A extracts a predetermined area including the user's eyeball from the user's image, specifies the line-of-sight direction based on the positional relationship between the eye and the iris, The line-of-sight position is detected based on the distance from the person's eyeball to the touch screen display 2. Alternatively, the line-of-sight detection program 9A accumulates, as reference images, images of a plurality of eyeballs when the user is browsing various display areas on the touch screen display 2, and acquires them as reference images and determination targets. The eye-gaze position is detected by collating with the image of the user's eyeball. The line-of-sight detection program 9A is an example of a line-of-sight detection unit.
