  • Publication number: 20240111360
    Abstract: An operation control device includes processing circuitry configured to acquire, from a line-of-sight detection device, line-of-sight information indicating a line-of-sight of an operator on a touch display; detect a first touch state that indicates a physical touch by the operator on a display region of the touch display or a second touch state that indicates a physical touch by the operator on a knob for operation disposed in the display region; and decide an operation target by touch depending on the detected first or second touch state with reference to information, stored in advance, in which the first and second touch states and the operation target are associated with each other in a case where the first or second touch state is detected in a state in which the line-of-sight of the operator indicated in the acquired line-of-sight information is not directed toward the touch display.
