ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the invention can provide a sight line inducing information display device, a sight line inducing information display program and a sight line inducing information display method able to precisely estimate the flowing direction of a sight line of an observer from the arrangement of partial areas itself. After image information of a visual document, etc. is divided into partial areas and is recognized, an initial noticing probability every partial area, its sight line inducing direction and its probability can be respectively calculated. The initial noticing probability, its sight line inducing direction and the probability can be respectively displayed. On the basis of these displays, the flowing path of the sight line of the user observing this visual document can be estimated. Thus, the flowing direction of the sight line of the observer can be precisely estimated from the arrangement of the partial areas itself.
