Abstract:
A distance calculation unit acquires a first position information indicating a position of a part of a body of each user indicated in an image captured by an imaging device. A user information analysis unit detects an operation region where a user can operate by using a part of a body, based on the first position information, and that identifies as an operator candidate a user having the part of the body indicated by the first position information in case that the detection of the operation region was possible. The user information analysis unit, of operator candidates, identifies as an operator a user including a part of the body in the operation region, and identifies as a user who cannot perform operation a user other than a user identified as the operator of the operator candidates. Because of the above, it is possible to increase operability.
