PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a gazing point that is not desired to be displayed, from being displayed, and to prevent a displayed gazing point from being recognized wrongly as a gaze. SOLUTION: A gazing point detection unit 1301 of a gazing point display processing apparatus 13A detects gazing point on a display from an eyeball image, a distance detection unit 1303 detects distance L between the eyeball and the gazing point; and if the distance L is a threshold Lth or smaller, a gazing point position information transmitting unit 11307 transmits to a gazing point display processing apparatus 13B gazing point position information A11n indicative of the position of the gazing point. The gazing point display processing apparatus 13B make display a gazing point image displayed at a position indicated by the gazing point position information A11n on a display 11B. Thus, since the gazing point is not displayed, if the eyeball of a user is separated from the display by a natural action; while the user does not actually gaze at the gazing point on the display, a gazing point that is not desired to be displayed, can be prevented from being displayed; and a displayed gazing point can be prevented from being erroneously recognized as gaze.
