Abstract

An operation control device includes: a brain-information acquiring unit configured to acquire brain information of a user; a determining unit configured to determine whether the brain information acquired by the brain-information acquiring unit includes brain information corresponding to a first command based on a language system, brain information corresponding to a second command based on a system other than the language system, and brain information corresponding to a third command that is a password; and an executing unit configured to execute processing corresponding to the first command when the determining unit determines that the brain information corresponding to the first command, the brain information corresponding to the second command, and the brain information corresponding to the third command are acquired.

Claims (34)

1 . An operation control device comprising:

at least one memory configured to store computer executable instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions to perform operations, comprising:

acquiring brain information of a user;

determining whether the brain information includes brain information corresponding to a first command based on a language system, brain information corresponding to a second command based on a system other than the language system, and brain information corresponding to a third command that is a password;

executing processing corresponding to the first command when it is determined that the brain information corresponding to the first command, the brain information corresponding to the second command, and the brain information corresponding to the third command are acquired;

storing, in a storage unit, the first command as an image command based on an image system; and

switching to a command set according to a difference between first brain information acquired by the acquiring in response to a first instruction and second brain information acquired by the acquiring in response to a second instruction, from among a plurality of command sets,

wherein the first command is brain information in a left hemisphere of a brain, and is a command representing an operation to operate an operation object, and the second command is brain information in a right hemisphere of the brain, and is a command representing an intention to execute the operation of the operation object,

wherein the determining comprises determining whether the brain information acquired by the acquiring includes brain information corresponding to an image stored in the storage unit,

wherein the executing comprises executing processing of an operation corresponding to the image command when it is determined that the brain information corresponding to the image command is acquired, and

wherein the storing comprises storing, in the storage unit, the plurality of command sets, each being of a first image command corresponding to a first action of the operation object and a second image command corresponding to a second action paired with the first action.

2 . The operation control device according to claim 1 , wherein the second command is a command when the brain information is based on the image system.

3 . The operation control device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise switching, based on the brain information acquired by the acquiring, between an execution mode in which the executing executes processing of an operation corresponding to the image command, and a non-execution mode in which processing of an operation corresponding to the image command is not executed.

4 . An operation control method comprising:

acquiring brain information of a user;

determining whether the acquired brain information includes brain information corresponding to a first command based on a language system, brain information corresponding to a second command based on a system other than the language system, and brain information corresponding to a third command that is a password;

executing processing corresponding to the first command when it is determined that the brain information corresponding to the first command, the brain information corresponding to the second command, and the brain information corresponding to the third command are acquired;

storing, in a storage unit, the first command as an image command based on the image system; and

switching to a command set according to a difference between first brain information acquired by the acquiring in response to a first instruction and second brain information acquired by the acquiring in response to a second instruction, from among a plurality of command sets,

wherein the first command is brain information in a left hemisphere of a brain, and is a command representing an operation to operate an operation object, and the second command is brain information in a right hemisphere of the brain, and is a command representing an intention to execute the operation of the operation object,

wherein the determining comprises determining whether the brain information acquired by the acquiring includes brain information corresponding to an image stored in the storage unit,

wherein the executing comprises executing processing of an operation corresponding to the image command based on determining that the brain information corresponding to the image command is acquired, and

wherein the storing comprises storing, in the storage unit, the plurality of command sets, each being of a first image command corresponding to a first action of the operation object and a second image command corresponding to a second action paired with the first action.

5 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program causing a computer to execute:

acquiring brain information of a user;

determining whether the acquired brain information includes brain information corresponding to a first command based on a language system, brain information corresponding to a second command based on a system other than the language system, and brain information corresponding to a third command that is a password; and

executing processing corresponding to the first command when it is determined that the brain information corresponding to the first command, the brain information corresponding to the second command, and the brain information corresponding to the third command are acquired;

storing, in a storage unit, the first command as an image command based on the image system; and

switching to a command set according to a difference between first brain information acquired by the acquiring in response to a first instruction and second brain information acquired by the acquiring in response to a second instruction, from among a plurality of command sets,

wherein the first command is brain information in a left hemisphere of a brain, and is a command representing an operation to operate an operation object, and the second command is brain information in a right hemisphere of the brain, and is a command representing an intention to execute the operation of the operation object,

wherein the determining comprises determining whether the brain information acquired by the acquiring includes brain information corresponding to an image stored in the storage unit,

wherein the executing comprises executing processing of an operation corresponding to the image command based on determining that the brain information corresponding to the image command is acquired, and

wherein the storing comprises storing, in the storage unit, the plurality of command sets, each being of a first image command corresponding to a first action of the operation object and a second image command corresponding to a second action paired with the first action.
