Abstract: A first evaluation mode and a second evaluation mode for evaluating with a criterion different from the first evaluation mode are set and the second evaluation mode is applied to acquired information before application of the first evaluation mode to output the evaluation result. A user recognizes that the evaluation result is acquired from the current finger placement. If a change is made in the evaluation result by making transition from the second evaluation mode to the first evaluation mode, the user sensuously recognizes again that the finger placement is not proper from the evaluation result and is prompted to perform a correct operation of the finger position.

Abstract: In an electronic device, a pulse rate measuring unit measures user's pulse rate. For example, the pulse rate measuring unit obtains a change in blood flow from a light passing through a user's fingertip, and measures user's current pulse rate based on it. A pulse rate memory unit has previously stored user's previous pulse rate. A pulse rate calculator calculates the user's pulse rate while changing a ratio of the user's current pulse rate measured by the pulse rate measuring unit to the user's previous pulse rate previously stored in the pulse rate memory unit after starting to measure the user's pulse rate. The user's pulse rate calculated by the pulse rate calculator is displayed as the user's pulse rate on a display unit.
