Abstract
A display-and-image-pickup apparatus includes: a display-and-image-pickup panel having an image display function and an image pickup function; an image producing means for producing a predetermined processed image on the basis of a picked-up image of a proximity object obtained through the use of the display-and-image-pickup panel; an image processing means for obtaining information about the proximity object through selectively using one of two obtaining modes on the basis of at least one of the picked-up image and the processed image; and a switching means for switching processes so that, in the case where the parameter is increasing, one of the two obtaining modes is switched to the other obtaining mode when the parameter reaches a threshold value, and in the case where the parameter is decreasing, the other obtaining mode is switched to the one obtaining mode when the parameter reaches a smaller threshold value.
