Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus, including a display control section which determines which display layers out of a plurality of mutually overlapping display layers information is to be displayed on based on parameters associated with the information.

Claims (39)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a front display having transparency;

a back display arranged behind the front display;

a user interface configured to receive an input operation to change information being displayed by the back display to being displayed on the front display; and

circuitry, in response to the input operation, configured to

remove a first image indicating the information from the back display; and

add a second image indicating the information to the front display, wherein a display size of the second image on the front display is larger than a display size of the first image on the back display.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to control the back display to display travelling information related to travelling of a user.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the travelling information includes map information.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a wearable sensor configured to detect vital information related to at least one of an age, a temperature, a pulse, a blood pressure, a base metabolic rate, a weight, a BMI, a body fat percentage, a visceral fat level, a degree of drowsiness and a fatigue level of a user,

wherein the circuitry is configured to control the back display to display the detected vital information.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is configured to:

control the back display to display travelling information related to travelling of the user; and

change the displayed travelling information in accordance with the vital information.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the user interface includes a touch panel arranged over the front display.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first image has a color different from a color of the second image.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the information is numerical information.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the back display has transparency.

10. An information processing method, comprising:

receiving an input operation to change information being displayed by a back display to being displayed on a front display having transparency;

controlling the back display and the front display to switch the information from being displayed on the back display to being displayed on the front display by:

removing a first image indicating the information from the back display; and

adding a second image indicating the information to the front display, wherein a display size of the second image on the front display is larger than a display size of the first image on the back display.

11. The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

controlling the back display to display travelling information related to travelling of a user.

12. The information processing method according to claim 11 , wherein the travelling information includes map information.

13. The information processing method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

detecting vital information related to at least one of an age, a temperature, a pulse, a blood pressure, a base metabolic rate, a weight, a BMI, a body fat percentage, a visceral fat level, a degree of drowsiness and a fatigue level of a user using a wearable sensor; and

controlling the back display to display the detected vital information.

14. The information processing method according to claim 13 , further comprising:

controlling the back display to display travelling information related to travelling of the user; and

changing the displayed travelling information in accordance with the vital information.

15. The information processing method according to claim 10 , wherein the first image has a color different from a color of the second image.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon, a set of computer-executable instructions for causing an information processing apparatus to perform steps comprising:

receiving an input operation to change information being displayed by a back display to being displayed on a front display having transparency;

controlling the back display and the front display to switch the information from being displayed on the back display to being displayed on the front display by:

removing a first image indicating the information from the back display; and

adding a second image indicating the information to the front display, wherein a display size of the second image on the front display is larger than a display size of the first image on the back display.
