Abstract
The present invention enables improvement in user convenience while reducing security degradation. To accomplish this, an information processing apparatus includes a display unit that displays an operation screen; an acceptance unit that accepts input from a user; a display control unit that controls display so as not to change the operation screen to a predetermined state when a predetermined time elapses without accepting input from the user by the acceptance unit; and an acquisition unit that acquires biological information of the user, wherein the display control unit does not change the operation screen to the predetermined state even if the predetermined time elapses without accepting input from the user by the acceptance unit if, within the predetermined time, the acquisition unit acquires biological information of the last user from whom input was accepted by the acceptance unit before the predetermined time started to be counted.
