A detection-rate calculating unit calculates a detection rate representing a ratio of number of interval data representing a time interval of one cycle of a waveform of at least one of a pulse and a heart rate, generated within a predetermined reference time to a sum of the number of the interval data and number of error data representing a content of an error occurred while the interval data is generated. When the detection rate is larger than the first threshold, an index calculating unit calculates an autonomic-nervous index representing an autonomic-nervous activity state, based on the interval data generated within the reference time.

Since the sleepiness degree is changed by a daytime activity, a time and a sleep state, a sleepiness prediction apparatus in view of these is provided. The sleepiness prediction apparatus 10 includes a sensor head 14 mounted on a fingertip, and a main body 12 of a wrist watch type, measures a sleep state relevant value relevant to a sleep state of a test subject, measures a daytime activity relevant value relevant to a daytime activity of the test subject, calculates, based on the sleep state relevant value and the daytime activity relevant value, an accumulated sleepiness degree predicted to be accumulated by a sleep history of the test subject and a daytime activity, calculates a biological rhythm sleepiness degree based on a biological rhythm changing according to a time, and calculates a comprehensive sleepiness degree corresponding to a time based on the accumulated sleepiness degree and the biological rhythm sleepiness degree.

A display input device comprises a display unit having a flexibility; and a first form change detection unit having a flexibility. The first form change detection unit is able to detect a deformation ascribed to the flexibility as a change in a electrical property. A display input system further comprises a display driving unit that supplies a display signal to the display unit and a signal judging unit that judges a input data based on the change in a electrical property in the first form change detection unit. The input of a first data can be performed by adding the deformation to the display input device.
