Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the technology described above with reference to FIG. 1 , as shown in FIG. 1 , when a plurality of operation buttons are the operation targets, all of the plurality of operation buttons that are the operation targets are lit while a short text explaining the operation of the buttons is read aloud. status

As a result, for users such as elderly people who feel difficult to operate a plurality of operation buttons, it may not be easy to understand which operation button among the plurality of operation buttons that are currently being read aloud. The problem of explaining the operation

[0010] In addition, in the above description, a mobile phone was used as an example to explain the problem that it is difficult for the user to understand the explanation of the button operation based on the reading of the short text and the lighting of the operation button. same problem in
