Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor is configured to obtain biological information indicating a state of a subject user which is found when an instruction is provided from the subject user and to determine whether to restrict accepting of the instruction in accordance with the state indicated by the biological information.

Claims (48)

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

obtain biological information indicating a state of a subject user which is found when an instruction is provided from the subject user, and

determine whether to restrict accepting of the instruction in accordance with the state indicated by the biological information.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

output information indicating that the instruction is not accepted if the processor determines that the instruction is not accepted based on the state indicated by the biological information.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

supply information indicating the state of the subject user to at least one of a user other than the subject user and a device if the processor determines that the instruction is not accepted based on the state indicated by the biological information.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

supply information indicating the state of the subject user to at least one of a user other than the subject user and a device if the processor determines that the instruction is not accepted based on the state indicated by the biological information.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

supply information indicating the state of the subject user to at least one of a user other than the subject user and a device if the processor determines that the instruction is accepted based on the state indicated by the biological information.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor determines whether to restrict accepting of the instruction in accordance with a history of behavior of the subject user and the state indicated by the biological information.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor determines whether to restrict accepting of the instruction in accordance with a history of behavior of the subject user and the state indicated by the biological information.

8 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor determines whether to restrict accepting of the instruction in accordance with a history of behavior of the subject user and the state indicated by the biological information.

9 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the biological information is information indicating a mental state of the subject user; and

the processor is configured to

accept the instruction when the biological information indicates that the subject user is in a healthy state, and

not accept the instruction when the biological information indicates that the subject user is not in a healthy state.

10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein:

the biological information is information indicating a mental state of the subject user; and

the processor is configured to

accept the instruction when the biological information indicates that the subject user is in a healthy state, and

not accept the instruction when the biological information indicates that the subject user is not in a healthy state.

11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein:

the biological information is information indicating a mental state of the subject user; and

the processor is configured to

accept the instruction when the biological information indicates that the subject user is in a healthy state, and

not accept the instruction when the biological information indicates that the subject user is not in a healthy state.

12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

suspend execution of the instruction if the biological information indicates that the subject user is not in a healthy state, and outputs a request to execute the suspended instruction to the subject user when the biological information indicates that the subject user is in a healthy state.

13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

output a request to provide the instruction on behalf of the subject user to a substitute user if the biological information indicates that the subject user is not in a healthy state, the substitute user being a user who is able to provide the instruction on behalf of the subject user.

14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the substitute user is a user whose biological information indicates that the substitute user is mentally healthy.

15 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

for each user, store biological information in a storage, the biological information being information monitored when an instruction is provided from a user and indicating that the user is in a healthy state; and

for each user, accept an instruction if biological information monitored when the instruction is provided from a user is included in a certain range of similarity with the corresponding biological information stored in the storage.

16 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

not accept the instruction if biological information concerning the subject user is not monitored.

17 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

not accept the instruction if biological information concerning the subject user is not monitored.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

not accept the instruction if biological information concerning the subject user is not monitored.

19 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the instruction is an instruction to make a payment.

20 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

obtaining biological information indicating a state of a subject user which is found when an instruction is provided from the subject user; and

determining whether to restrict accepting of the instruction in accordance with the state indicated by the biological information.
